We quote commercial gutter work in Huntsville per building, priced from its footprint and height. Fall protection or a boom or scissor lift goes on every job, and you get a photo report afterward. The crew doing the work is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. We book spring and fall visits across Alabama for property managers, HOA boards and facilities leads who need the same crew on the same calendar.
Quoted per building from footage, height and gutter type, in writing, before anyone is dispatched. Scheduled service costs less than a call-out.
We quote commercial gutter work per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. The cleaning services we price are scoped to the building in front of us, so the same footage on two different roofs can come in at two different numbers. Gutter cleaning companies that quote by the foot alone tend to miss that. A homeowner with a two-story house gets the same method, just with fewer stories to account for, and residential and commercial jobs are measured the same way.
Several things move the quote on our jobs. A building above three stories needs a boom or scissor lift and the fall-protection setup that goes with it. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years carry compacted debris and a clog that takes longer to clear. Any gutter guard has to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleaned. Oversized or box gutters take more time per foot, and roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs add their own work. Each gutter system is measured on its own, because the layout sets the time as much as the footage does. The number of buildings on one site also changes the math, because setup is shared across the property.
We offer gutter cleaning per building, and downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included and are not billed as extras, and any cleaning solutions the job needs are part of the same figure. Scheduled semi-annual or quarterly service is priced lower than a one-off call, because the crew already knows the building and the dates are booked ahead.
Our experience with professional gutter cleaning services in Huntsville shows the same pattern on most properties: the quote follows the building, not a rate card. To quote a Huntsville property we need the address or site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings, whether it is a home or business, and who the invoice goes to. A written estimate with the gutter cleaning process laid out per building follows from that. Ask gutter cleaners you compare for the same list, so every bid is measured against the same building. Once the crew is on site, thorough gutter cleaning covers every run and downspout, and the final inspection photos go into the report. Ask for a written estimate at (866) 435-6328 and we will send it.
| Per building | |
|---|---|
| Standard, one to two stories | from $150 |
| Oversized box or industrial gutters | from $280 |
| Three stories and up, with a lift | from $375 |
Your lease decides, not state law. Here is how the three common cases usually read.
On a commercial lease, responsibility for gutter and downspout cleaning is set by the lease itself, not by the habitability rules that apply to apartments.
Triple net (NNN). The tenant usually carries building maintenance and exterior upkeep, in full or as a pro-rata share, and that normally includes gutters and downspouts.
Gross lease. The landlord usually keeps the roof system and exterior upkeep, gutters included, inside the base rent.
Lease silent. When the lease says nothing, the obligation generally falls to the landlord, because gutters are treated as part of the building's roof and structure.
Whoever the lease names, tell us and the invoice goes to that party, so the property manager is not stuck in the middle.
This is general information, not legal advice. Read the maintenance clause of your lease or ask the attorney who drafted it.
At least twice a year for a standard building. Restaurants, flat roofs and anything under trees, quarterly.
Across Huntsville, most of the properties we service are on twice a year, spring and late fall, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover on quarterly. On a property with a landscape of mature trees, the fall visit is the one that matters most. That is the working answer from our own schedule, not general advice. Across Alabama, spring visits land in mid to late April, and our Huntsville fall visits run November to early December.
A standard commercial building usually runs twice a year, though the spring and late fall visits are set to the leaf and pollen drop on that specific roof. A restaurant is different: what we pull out of a restaurant gutter every second month is grease-bearing debris that a twice-a-year visit would leave to set. Huntsville gets about 54.2 inches of rain a year, with March, April and December the wettest months, so the checks that matter most land in those months. Storms matter too. The managers who call us after a storm are usually looking at a gutter that began to overflow at the corner and backed water toward the fascia, and the post-storm check turns up more than most owners expect.
Flat roofs need their own attention. Parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently, and a blockage at one of them is usually the first thing the tenant notices, as a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister. That is why the monthly check between cleanings exists, and it is also where water damage tends to start before anyone sees it. On flat roofs we pair the cleaning with a look at the drains themselves.
Gutter cleaning and maintenance on commercial properties is easier to plan when the schedule is set a season ahead. We provide gutter cleaning on whatever frequency the roof calls for. Tell us your gutter cleaning needs and the building count, and we will set the frequency per property.
| Property type | Baseline | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Standard office, retail, multifamily | Twice a year, spring and late fall | Seasonal debris before heavy rain and freeze |
| Restaurant and food service | Every two months | Grease and exhaust residue speed up clogs |
| Industrial and manufacturing | Quarterly to semi-annual | Airborne dust and soot |
| Heavy tree cover over the roof | Three to four times a year | Leaf and needle load |
| Flat roof with parapets and internal drains | Quarterly, monthly checks | Drains back up silently; membrane damage |
Tied off or working from a lift, never free-standing on a ladder against a parapet.
Federal OSHA requires fall protection for construction-type work at six feet and above (29 CFR 1926.501) and for general industry at four feet (29 CFR 1910.28). Commercial gutter lines sit well above both. Our crew works tied off or from an aerial lift, never free-standing on a ladder against a parapet. Above three stories the job is done from a boom or scissor lift, which is why height is the biggest single factor in a commercial quote. The lift is matched to the building: we bring whatever boom or scissor lift the roofline needs. Where a state runs its own OSHA plan with stricter triggers, the crew follows the stricter rule.
Gutters, downspouts, drains and scuppers, hauled debris, and a photo report per building. Nothing on this list is an extra.
Per building. Every gutter run cleared by hand or vacuum, not just the sections visible from the parking lot. Every downspout flushed until it runs clear; a blocked downspout cleared from above where reachable. Below-grade drain lines are cleared on request and quoted separately. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs cleared of debris and the strainer domes reseated. Debris bagged and removed from site, including from parking areas and walkways under the work. Downspout outlets and splash blocks checked.
Report. Before-and-after photos of each run and each drain, per building, with anything found (a pulled hanger, a separated seam, standing water that points to slope, a cracked scupper) noted and photographed, not repaired without authorization. Invoice per building with the linear footage shown, so a board or an owner can check it.
Not included. Gutter repair or replacement, guard installation, roof repair, pressure washing of the building. Where a problem is found, you get the photo and a plain description; what to do about it is your call.
The same crew on a fixed calendar, a lower per-visit rate, and a storm call-out when you need one.
A one-off cleaning is priced as a one-off: dispatch, setup, lift if needed. Put the property on a schedule and the plan is priced for that building, because the crew knows it, the footage is already measured and the dates are booked a season ahead. Semi-annual (spring and late fall) suits most standard buildings; quarterly suits restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and anything under heavy trees. Plans and their pricing are set building by building: call or email us to set one up.
A scheduled property also gets one contact for every building in the portfolio, across city lines where we cover the neighboring towns.
One contact for every building, a date in writing, and the crew checks in with your on-site person before a lift goes up.
In Huntsville we have serviced commercial buildings across the business districts and corridors where our crews are routinely on the schedule. Our service area in Huntsville reaches the surrounding areas on the same routes, and we serve homeowners and businesses alike. For a property manager with several buildings, scheduling runs through one contact for every property, with a date confirmed in writing. Our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival, and work can be timed around tenant hours where that is asked for.
A clogged gutter that goes unnoticed can cause roof leaks, and keeping clean gutters on a set schedule through regular gutter maintenance costs less than a leak into the building envelope. For properties that want consistent upkeep, we run commercial and residential properties on the same crew calendar, and we also do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners in the same routes. Our gutter company work on a multi-site portfolio is coordinated per building so each invoice stands on its own.
Ask about your building's lead time when you call (866) 435-6328, because it depends on the schedule that week. The crew stays on one calendar, so a portfolio of buildings gets the same attention on every visit.
We quote per building, and the number depends on linear footage, height and gutter type, so per-foot math alone does not tell the whole story. Each quote is written before the crew is dispatched, and the figure we give is the figure on the invoice.
The lease decides, so read the maintenance clause in yours; the section above lays out how each lease type usually reads. We write the invoice to whichever party the lease names. This is not legal advice, so check with the attorney who drafted the lease if the clause is unclear.
On the restaurants and flat roofs we service in Huntsville, quarterly is the schedule that holds, because grease-bearing debris and internal drain backups build faster than a twice-a-year visit can catch. Each property gets its own frequency once we see the roof.
Yes. We bring a boom or scissor lift and run the fall-protection setup on every job, and we size the lift to the building. A thorough cleaning at that height takes the right lift, and height is one of the biggest factors in the quote, so tell us the stories when you call.
Yes. We schedule around tenant hours and access rules when the building needs it, and we check in with the on-site contact when the crew arrives. Send the access requirements with the quote request so the date is set correctly the first time.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the job and photograph them in the report, while gutter protection work such as guard installation is quoted separately and any repair we find is noted and photographed, not fixed without your authorization.
Across Alabama, the storm season that matters is the Gulf hurricane and tropical remnant season. After a severe storm in Huntsville, the post-storm call-outs most often turn up a clog that backed water toward the fascia and ran down the siding, plus downspouts pushed out of their brackets. We clear the run, flush the downspouts and report what we see, which helps protect your home from water sitting against the fascia.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice with the linear footage shown, and recurring schedules are set building by building. Call (866) 435-6328 or email us with the property list to set up the schedule.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
