We quote commercial work per building in Alhambra, 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. We work across California on office, retail and multifamily properties, and we book the crew to clean gutters in the spring and the late fall, when the drains need it most.
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 our cleaning services per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. Quotes for residential and commercial buildings use the same written format, so a homeowner or a property manager can read the number the same way.
Height is the first thing that moves the number. Above three stories we bring a boom or scissor lift and set fall protection before the crew steps off, and that setup is part of the quote, not an add-on. Compacted debris matters next: a gutter system that has not been cleaned in years takes longer per run than one we see twice a year. A gutter guard has to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the channel. Oversized or box gutters take more time per foot, and roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs get cleared as part of the same visit. Every building follows the same cleaning process: measure the run, set access, clear, flush, and photograph before the crew leaves. Each extra building on one site is quoted on its own footprint, so the total stays readable for the person who signs it.
Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras. 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. When you compare gutter cleaning companies, ask whether downspout flushing and debris haul-off are listed as extras. Ours are not. Before you hire any gutter cleaners, ask for the total per building in writing.
Whether it is a home or business, the building type and the access are what we ask about first, across California. To quote a commercial property in Alhambra we need the address or a site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who the invoice goes to. With that, the number comes back in writing, and the number on the phone is the number on the invoice. Our crew works from the same written scope on every visit, and the final inspection is photographed run by run so the property manager can see the work for each building. Tell us if the buildup is greasy, since that changes the cleaning solutions the crew brings.
| Per building | |
|---|---|
| Standard, one to two stories | from $150 |
| Oversized box or industrial gutters | from $340 |
| Three stories and up, with a lift | from $455 |
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 commercial properties we service are on a twice-a-year schedule, spring and late fall. Across California, the spring visit lands in mid to late June and the fall visit in late November to December. Alhambra gets about 15.7 inches of rain a year, with January, February and March the wettest months, so the fall visit comes before that wet stretch. Restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover go on a quarterly schedule. Heavy landscape debris near the roofline is one more reason to move a property to quarterly.
Our crew sees the same pattern on professional gutter cleaning services calls year after year: the spring visit clears the seed and pollen load, the fall visit clears the wet leaf mat before the rains. A restaurant gutter fills with grease and grit faster than any other roof we work on, which is why those properties come back every quarter. We offer gutter cleaning on that cycle, so a blockage rarely gets time to build, and the crew will provide gutter cleaning on the same route each season.
On a flat roof the parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without any warning. The first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, and by then water damage has already started. That is why the monthly check between cleanings exists. A short gutter maintenance check at the roofline between visits is worth the time for homeowners and businesses alike. We would rather catch the backup in the drain than find the water in the ceiling.
Your gutter cleaning needs decide the calendar, not the season alone: a restaurant and a warehouse rarely need the same schedule. Our gutter cleaning and maintenance visits are booked against that calendar, not against the first storm.
Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline, and we will book a date for the next visit.
| 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 with property managers and facilities leads who run several buildings on one account. Our crew handles commercial buildings and multi-site accounts on the same written scope. Scheduling runs through a single contact, one date is confirmed in writing for each building, and the crew checks in with the on-site contact when they arrive. Where a tenant needs quiet hours or a restricted access route, we time the work around it. The service area reaches the surrounding areas around Alhambra, so one contact can cover a portfolio that spans more than one town. Each building gets a thorough cleaning run by run.
Multi-site portfolios are quoted building by building and billed per building, so the owner can see what each site costs. A clogged gutter that has been overflowing for a season is usually the first call in a new account; once the system is clear we set the next date. Each gutter cleaning process ends with the photo report for that building. We also do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners and businesses, and the same crew handles both kinds of commercial and residential properties on one route when that makes sense for the schedule.
Standing water and a slow leak at the fascia are the usual warning signs. Left alone they can cause roof leaks, so we photograph the problem and put it in the report. Water that overflows the gutter runs down onto the siding and the fascia behind it, which is why we check both. Our gutter company does the cleaning and the report; the repair decision stays with you.
Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the building, and we will book a date for each one.
We price per building, using the linear footage, the height and the gutter type, and the number comes in writing before we are dispatched. Some companies quote by the foot; we give you the building total so the invoice matches the work on each site. The quote covers a thorough gutter cleaning of each building, with the same scope on every visit.
The lease decides, not us. Read the maintenance clause in your lease, and the section above shows how each lease type is usually read. This is not legal advice; ask the attorney who drafted the lease if the clause is unclear.
On our jobs, restaurants and flat roofs with internal drains go on a quarterly schedule. The grease and grit build up faster than on a standard roof, and the drains back up without warning. A clog in an internal drain can show up first as an overflow, so the quarterly visit exists to catch it early.
Yes. Our crew works from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection set before anyone steps off, and the lift is matched to the building height and roofline on each visit.
Yes. We schedule around tenant hours and restricted access routes, and the on-site contact gets the crew's arrival time in writing before the visit. The thorough clean is done in the same window. If the building sits outside Alhambra, check the service area when you call.
Both. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs are cleared during the same visit, and the crew photographs each one in the report.
Storm calls come in from Alhambra and the surrounding areas after heavy rain, and the crew checks every run for debris, pulled hangers and blocked downspouts. Alhambra gets about 15.7 inches of rain a year, with January, February and March the wettest months. Across California, atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days. We photograph what we find, check the siding and fascia below the gutter for water staining, and send the report the same day.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice with the footage shown, and one recurring schedule can cover every property on the account. A recurring schedule is the simplest way to protect your home or business from a backup you have not seen yet. If a gutter guard or other gutter protection is fitted, the crew lifts it for each clean and reseats it. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will book a date.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
