Our service is quoted per building, priced from each building's footprint and height, and we put the number in writing before anyone is dispatched. We provide gutter cleaning for commercial buildings, and our crew is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Every job runs with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift, and every building gets a photo report when we leave. Across Arizona, most of our commercial work is booked for the spring and fall visits, when the gutters have had the most debris pulled into them. Whether it is a home or business, the crew keeps the same standard.
Quoted per building from footage, height and gutter type, in writing, before anyone is dispatched. Scheduled service costs less than a call-out.
Our crew quotes per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are height above three stories and the boom or scissor lift it takes to reach the run, compacted debris on a gutter system that has not been cleaned in years, a gutter guard that has to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared, a clog at a downspout that needs a second pass, oversized or box gutters, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, siding under a run that has been overflowing, and the number of buildings on one site. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras. Cleaning solutions and the lift are priced into the building quote, so there is no separate line item to argue about. Gutter protection work is not part of the cleaning price. A 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 already measured.
A recent job for a multi-building property shows how the numbers come together. The site plan showed stories, roof type and building count up front; what we found in the gutters, in the words of the on-site crew, set the scope and the quote, and the invoice went to the owner named on the work order. The gutter cleaning process starts with the address or site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who the invoice goes to; that list is what we need before we write a number for any property in Avondale. Before the crew leaves, a final inspection of each run and drain goes on the photo report. Quoting per building means the number is fixed before the truck rolls, which is the main difference from an open-ended hourly bill.
| Per building | |
|---|---|
| Standard, one to two stories | from $150 |
| Oversized box or industrial gutters | from $295 |
| Three stories and up, with a lift | from $395 |
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 Arizona, most of the commercial buildings we service are on twice a year, spring and late fall, while restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover run on quarterly visits.
After the storm season, the post-storm inspections are where we see the most loading in the gutters, and the monthly look between cleanings is there for the flat roofs that carry the most risk. A clogged gutter on a flat roof is the one that turns into water damage fastest, so that is where the checks go first. On the Avondale properties we service, the spring visit catches the seed and grit the wind has packed into the runs, and the fall visit catches what the leaves left behind. Restaurants are the hardest case: what we pull out of a restaurant gutter every second month is grease-laden debris that does not wash down on its own.
On a flat roof, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently. The first sign is often a leak through a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, and by then the water has already been sitting for a while. That is why the monthly check is built into our gutter maintenance between cleanings, and why the managers who call us after a storm usually want the drains looked at before the next rain.
When a property has been on a fixed schedule, each visit is a thorough cleaning of the same runs, and the thorough gutter cleaning on that schedule means the crew knows which downspouts will need a second flush. That history is what the next quote is built on.
| 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.
Avondale is our core service area: we service business parks, commercial properties and commercial corridors that our crews have worked before, including the landscape beds and tree lines that drop debris into the runs. Our professional gutter cleaning services reach the surrounding areas as well. For a property manager with several buildings, we set up one contact for every property, confirm each date in writing, and have our crew check in with the on-site contact on arrival. Work can be timed around tenant hours where that is asked for, and the crew keeps the site clear of debris from start to finish.
We also do residential gutter cleaning for a homeowner, and the same crew serves homeowners and businesses on the same schedule. Our cleaning services cover residential and commercial properties alike, so a property owner with a mixed portfolio deals with one of the gutter cleaning companies instead of several. The gutter cleaning and maintenance plans run the same way on every site, whether the job is a single downspout run or a full portfolio. Water that is not moving off the roof is what tends to cause roof leaks, and a clean system is the first defense against it.
When you compare gutter cleaners, compare the written scope, not the hourly rate: the runs, the drains, the footage and the photos on the report. We offer gutter cleaning on a one-off or scheduled basis, with the same lift and fall protection rules on every building.
Lead times depend on the season and the site, so tell us your gutter cleaning needs and call (866) 435-6328 for the next open date.
We quote per building, and the number depends on linear footage, height and gutter type. We write the quote for each building in advance so the number is known before the crew shows up.
The lease decides, so read the maintenance clause in yours. See the section above for how the common lease types read. This is not legal advice, and the attorney who drafted the lease is the right person to confirm it.
On the restaurants and flat-roof buildings we service, quarterly is the schedule we set, because grease and internal drains back up faster than a standard run.
Yes. Above three stories we work from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection in place, and we bring whichever lift the roofline needs.
Yes. We time the work around tenant hours and follow the site's access rules across every commercial property in our service area, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the same visit, and the final inspection before we leave checks each one. Any blockage we find is photographed and reported.
Across Arizona, a single monsoon cell can put down a lot of rain in an hour, and the post-storm call-outs usually turn up debris packed into downspouts and overflow at the low runs. A clogged gutter that overflows is how water damage starts, so we inspect, clear and photograph each building to help protect your home and property.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice, and a recurring schedule can be set up across several properties under one contact. Tell us what the gutters need and text a photo of the roofline to start, or call (866) 435-6328 to set the first date.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
