"We contacted Jud through the contact form on his website late on a Friday morning requesting a quote for cleaning out the gutters and downspouts at our home. He emailed us back the same day explaining that he wouldn't be able to get us a quote until Monday (which was fine as we didn't really expect to hear back from him at all until Monday) but if we could get him pictures of the outside of the house he could get us a quote over email. We texted him the pictures he requested on Sunday morning and he responded with a quote the same day, explaining the quote and letting us know he could take care of everything on Monday morning. <br /> He arrived on Monday morning, as expected, and completed the job. Not only did he clean out the gutters and downspouts, he also used his vacuum system to clean up the leaves around the perimeter of the house, including under the grill, patio furniture and deck stairs! This guy is pretty awesome! <br />"

"The salesman was extremely enthusiastic and long-winded, but we never felt that we were being overly pressured to purchase. Once we made a deal, he called to schedule an installation and found that there was an opening that afternoon. Their technician came over and did very nice work installing the system. <br /> Gutters are now staying clean. Most of the water is captured in the gutters and now flows better to the downspouts, although some water seems to overrun the gutter and run off. <br /> Overall, we're happy so far with the product and the installation. <br />"

"This job went smoothly from start to finish.  Steve was courteous and professional from his first prompt phone call to his followup calls.   We were lucky to get this small job in right away before the big roofing season hit!   His crew worked efficiently and was able to complete the job in one day.  We were extremely pleased with the workmanship as well as the care they took on the job and cleaning up afterwards.   I really appreciated Steve helping get our gutter replaced that fell off during the winter -- above and beyond the call of duty!  Kudos to you Steve!  Would highly recommend this company for your roofing needs. <br />"

"I can't say enough good things about AR Roofing, Siding and Gutters.  My 10 year old roof had storm damage earlier this year.  I called AR and they sent someone out immediately to cover the bare spots on my roof and then worked directly with the claims adjuster sparing me the headaches of dealing with the insurance claim process.  Long story short I needed a new roof so I had AR reroof my house.  The did a tear off of the roof, repaired the roof decking and re shingled my 3,100 steep pitched roof in one day using high quality architectural shingles.  AR is an example of a good local company that is very professional, polite and punctual. <br />"

FAQs for gutters & downspouts cleaning service projects in Sterling, IL

You’ll want to clean gutters once or twice a year—in early spring and again in fall—to keep water flowing and avoid pricey leaks. Homes tucked beneath tall trees or hit with heavy debris may need two to four visits instead. Staying on schedule protects your roof, siding, and foundation from costly water damage.

Even with gutter guards, plan on an occasional cleaning—just not as often as homes without guards. Installing gutter guards blocks leaves, but grit and shingle granules still slip through and pile up over time. A quick sweep keeps water moving and stops overflow that can damage your roof or foundation.

Watch for overflowing water, slow or silent downspouts, sagging sections, or debris peeking over the gutter edge. You might also spot water stains, weeds, or an increasing number of ants in certain areas. Any of these red flags means it’s time to call a gutter cleaning pro for service before minor clogs turn into major leaks.

Skip cleanings for too long and gutters overflow, sending water under shingles, down siding, and toward the foundation. The result can be mold, rotted fascia, basement leaks, and repair bills that dwarf the price of a quick cleaning. It can also mean that future cleanings will be more expensive as it will take pros longer to deep clean gutters that are full of heavy debris. Staying on schedule saves money and headaches.

Plan on gutter cleaning service to take an average of one hour for an average single-story home and two to three hours for taller houses. Add extra time if gutter guards need to come off or clogs are packed in. Pros work methodically, clearing every linear foot so water can flow freely again.
