We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning in Madison per building, priced from the footprint and height of each one. Every job runs with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift, and you get a photo report of every run after. Our crew is scheduled and does this work every day, not as a side job between roofs. We keep the schedule tight for property managers and facilities leads across Madison, in the spring and the fall.
Quoted per building from footage, height and gutter type, in writing, before anyone is dispatched. Scheduled service costs less than a call-out.
Our service is quoted per building, from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. A building's quote is built from its own measurements, so the number reflects that property and nothing else.
Height is the largest single factor on our jobs. Above three stories we bring a boom or scissor lift, and that setup changes the crew size and the time on site. Compacted debris also moves the quote. A gutter system nobody has cleaned in years takes longer to clear, and we charge for that time honestly. A gutter guard or other gutter protection that has to be lifted and reseated, plus oversized or box gutters, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and the number of buildings on one site all factor in as well. Debris packed against the siding under the eaves gets cleared on the same visit.
Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building, not billed as extras, since a thorough cleaning is not done until the water runs clear. Scheduled semi-annual or quarterly service is priced lower than a one-off call, because the crew knows the building and the dates are set a season ahead.
On a Madison property, a building with a clog history, a clogged gutter run or a visible overflow at the eaves usually needs a thorough gutter cleaning, not a quick pass. Clean runs are also the most direct way to protect your home or business from water damage. We send the photos of each run so you can see exactly what we found before we write the invoice. If you want to know what we need to quote your building, it is the address or site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings, and who the invoice goes to. Send those and we will return a written estimate.
| 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.
Most Madison properties we service are on twice a year, in spring and late fall. Restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover are on a quarterly schedule. That is what our cleaning services look like across the properties on our books, with cleaning solutions matched to each building.
What we find between visits is what sets the frequency. Across Alabama, Gulf hurricanes and tropical remnants bring storm call-outs, and the post-storm inspections often turn up a blockage in runs that looked fine a month earlier, with leaves and grit packed in. Madison averages 59.2 inches of rain a year, with February, March and December the wettest months, and those are the months we plan around. Freezing risk affects how we time the fall visit.
Flat roofs need a different routine. Parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without any warning, and a blocked drain can cause roof leaks inside the building. The first sign a tenant notices is usually a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, and by then the water has been sitting for a while. A leak that size is what the monthly check between cleanings exists to catch on those buildings.
The gutter cleaning process itself does not change much from one property to the next. We clear the runs, flush every downspout, and photograph the result. Gutter cleaning companies that run a fixed checklist catch what a quick pass misses, and our gutter cleaners work from the same checklist on each building, so a restaurant and a three-story office get the same final inspection before the crew leaves the site. Spring visits across Alabama usually land in mid to late April, so call (866) 435-6328, text a photo of the roofline, or book a date and we will confirm it in writing.
| 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.
We provide gutter cleaning for commercial properties across Madison, and our professional gutter cleaning services are quoted per building, so each property gets its own quote and its own record. We offer gutter cleaning to homeowners and businesses on the same basis. For a property manager with several buildings, one gutter company contact handles all of them, and every date is confirmed in writing before the crew arrives.
Our crew checks in with the on-site contact when they arrive, and we time the work around tenant hours where that is asked for. Leaves and debris that drop from the landscape beds below get bagged at the same visit. Where a site has several buildings, we map the runs and schedule them in an order that keeps the work moving. That keeps the gutter cleaning and maintenance on one schedule instead of scattered calls across the portfolio. Each building keeps its own gutter maintenance record, with the photo report from every visit.
We also do residential gutter cleaning for every homeowner in the area, and we run residential and commercial work on the same schedule when a board or owner has both. Our work covers a service area that includes the surrounding areas we already visit regularly. If your portfolio mixes building types, tell us your gutter cleaning needs in the first call and we will set it up accordingly. Call (866) 435-6328, text a photo of the roofline, or book a date, and we will confirm the schedule in writing.
We price per building, but the number is built from linear footage, height and gutter type, so both measures go into the quote. We do not give a figure over the phone without measurements. Each building gets its own written estimate.
The lease decides, not state law, and the section above on who pays lays out the three common lease types. This is not legal advice. Read the maintenance clause of your lease or ask the attorney who drafted it. Once you know who pays, tell us and the invoice goes to that party.
On the Madison properties we service, restaurants and flat-roof buildings with internal drains are on a quarterly schedule. We see grease and grit build up in restaurant runs faster than anywhere else, and commercial buildings with flat roofs back up without warning if the drains are not checked.
Yes. We work from a boom or scissor lift or with fall protection on every job above three stories. Tell us the height when you call and we will confirm the setup in the written quote.
Yes. We time the work around tenant hours when asked and check in with the on-site contact on arrival. Share the access rules with us before the first visit so the crew arrives ready.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the job, along with the gutters and downspouts. We photograph anything else we find, such as a pulled hanger or a cracked scupper, and report it to you rather than repairing it.
After a storm, the post-storm call-outs we run usually turn up debris packed into runs and downspouts that were clear a few weeks earlier. We photograph what we find and send the report, so you know what was cleared and what needs attention. Call (866) 435-6328 to set up the post-storm visit.
Yes. We invoice per building and set up a recurring schedule for each property in the portfolio. The same setup works for commercial and residential properties. Text a photo of the roofline or send the site plan and we will return a written estimate with the schedule laid out.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
