We quote commercial gutter cleaning per building in Montgomery, priced from each building's footprint and height, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job and a photo report when we finish. Our crew is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Across Alabama our properties are cleaned in spring and late fall, and the quote request below is the fastest way to get a date on the 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 cleaning per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. Many gutter cleaning companies quote by the foot alone, and we quote the building. Our gutter cleaning service works the same way for a home or business, and nothing goes on the schedule until the number is in your hands.
Height is the biggest factor on our jobs. Above three stories the crew works from a boom or scissor lift under fall-protection rules, and that setup changes the cost of the day. A roof with compacted debris in a gutter system nobody has cleaned in years takes longer than one cleaned on schedule, because a single clog at an elbow can hold a whole run of water. A gutter guard has to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared, and that adds time to every run it sits on. Where a gutter system is hung on siding rather than fascia, the crew works around the panels with extra care, and that takes time too. Oversized or box gutters carry more debris per foot, and roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs are cleaned as part of the building. The number of buildings on one site also changes the quote, because the crew can move between them without a second setup.
Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras, so you get a thorough cleaning and not a surprise line item. Scheduled semi-annual or quarterly service is priced lower than a one-off call, because the crew already knows the building and the footage is measured. Ask about cleaning solutions or gutter protection for any roof that needs them, and we will price both before the crew arrives.
For a Montgomery property we want the address or a site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and the name of the party the invoice goes to. On a multi-building site those five items set the quote, and anything the crew finds in the gutters on arrival is photographed and reported before any work begins. Each building gets its own line on the invoice, and the crew finishes with a final inspection before leaving the site.
| 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.
On the Montgomery properties we service, most are on twice a year, spring and late fall, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees on quarterly. The managers who call us after a storm are usually the ones who skipped a visit the season before, and the cleaning services they book then cost more than gutter maintenance would have.
Storm season across Alabama is when the gutters tell us the most. Montgomery averages 54.6 inches of rain a year, with March, July and December its wettest months. Gulf hurricanes and tropical remnants bring debris down onto the roof, and the post-storm inspections turn up sagged runs, pulled hangers and downspouts packed with shingle grit. A clogged gutter is the usual result when leaves and pollen load the gutters in the same months they load the parking lot, and that is the cleaning process we plan around. The goal is clean gutters before each storm season, not after, since that is how you protect your home from the next run of water that backs up the wall.
On flat roofs, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without any warning, and the first sign of water damage is usually a stained ceiling tile long after the water started moving the wrong way. A blockage found early is a flushing job. One found late can cause roof leaks or an overflow down the wall, so our crews run a monthly check between cleanings and offer gutter cleaning on a schedule the building can hold to.
| 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 work across Montgomery's business districts and corridors, and we have serviced properties in the surrounding areas. A multi-building portfolio is handled as one account for gutter cleaning and maintenance: one contact for every building, one written schedule, and one invoice per building so the property manager can see each line. Montgomery sits inside our service area, and debris that falls into the landscape beds under the downspouts is picked up with the rest.
Scheduling with us is simple, and the gutter cleaning process is the same at every site. A date is confirmed in writing, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact when they arrive. Work can be timed around tenant hours or loading windows where asked, and access rules are set before the first ladder goes up. Every job gets a thorough gutter cleaning and ends with a final inspection before we leave.
We also provide gutter cleaning for a homeowner who owns a rental or a shop too. Residential gutter cleaning and commercial jobs go on one schedule, so commercial and residential properties with a mix of uses can be booked in one place. Our professional gutter cleaning services cover homeowners and businesses alike, and our gutter cleaners handle residential and commercial properties under the same process, with the same gutter company keeping the records for both. Tell us your gutter cleaning needs on a site walk and we will confirm what the building needs before we quote. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline, and we will book a date.
It depends on the building. We ask for linear footage, height and gutter type, and the number comes in writing per building, not as a rate. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will walk the site plan with you.
The lease decides, so read the maintenance clause and see the section above that sets out how each lease type reads. This is not legal advice, and we bill whichever party the lease names.
On commercial properties like the restaurants and flat roofs we service, quarterly is the rule, because grease and debris build up faster than on a standard building. Text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you what we would plan for.
Yes. Above three stories the crew works from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection in place, and we bring whatever lift the roofline needs.
Yes, across our service area. We set the window before the first ladder goes up, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival.
We clear roof drains and scuppers too, and any gutter protection on the run is lifted and reseated first, because a blocked scupper can start a leak on a flat roof.
The post-storm call-outs most often turn up sagged runs, pulled hangers and downspouts blocked by debris carried down from the roof. A clogged gutter causes overflow at the eave and dumps water against the wall, so we photograph each one and bring the report back to the manager. A thorough gutter cleaning after the storm clears what is left.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice line, and a recurring schedule can cover all of them under one contact. Ask for a written estimate and we will set the dates a season ahead, the simplest way to protect your home from a season of blocked gutters.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
