The short answer
Across the 17 Illinois cities covered here, NOAA recorded 139 hail and 124 wind events in the first four months of 2026, with $100 in reported property damage. Hail is what dents and splits gutters; wind is what fills them. Both drive the same seasonal spike in quotes, and both are worth knowing before you accept a doorstep price.

What storm season does to gutters in Illinois
Hail dents aluminium and splits older seams. Wind fills channels with debris and lifts loose sections. After a significant event, quotes rise and doorstep crews appear — and that combination is where most bad gutter work gets sold.
The useful discipline is the same everywhere: get felling, repair and disposal quoted as separate lines, ask for photographs of what was found, and treat anyone knocking on your door after a storm as someone to verify independently rather than hire on the spot.
Where this stops being a DIY job
Anything above single storey. Falls from ladder height are the serious injury category in home maintenance.
Never work from the roof. Standing on tiles to reach a gutter is how people go through it.
Soft fascia. Gutters hang from that timber. Anything fixed into rotten wood pulls out.

Common questions
How often should gutters be cleaned in Illinois?
Twice a year for most houses, and three or four times where pines or spruces overhang, because needles shed year-round and mat tighter than leaves.
Does hail damage gutters?
Yes — it dents aluminium and splits older seams. Damage often shows as leaking at joints rather than as visible dents.
Should I use a company that knocks after a storm?
No. Legitimate firms are fully booked after severe weather rather than walking streets. Verify the business independently and call them yourself.
Why do my gutters overflow when clean?
Pitch, capacity or discharge. Same spot every storm means the channel holds water there; only in heavy rain means too few downspouts.
