We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building, priced from the footprint and height of each property. Fall protection or a boom or scissor lift goes on every job, and you get a photo report of every run when we finish. Our crew is scheduled and works this work every week, not as a side job between re-roofs. We service office, retail and multifamily properties across California, and our busiest months are the spring and fall.
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. Each gutter cleaning service we price starts from the building itself, so you know the number before we arrive. Our gutter cleaners set it up the same way on every property we clean.
Several things move the quote. Height above three stories means a boom or scissor lift and fall protection on every run. A gutter system not cleaned in years means compacted debris that takes longer to clear. A gutter guard must be lifted and reseated before the gutter underneath can be cleaned, so gutter protection adds time to the quote, and oversized or box gutters take more time per foot. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs add work, and the number of buildings on one site changes how the day is scheduled, while siding stained by an overflow gets photographed for the report. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are never billed as extras, and a clog in a downspout is cleared on the same visit. Scheduled semi-annual or quarterly service is priced lower than a one-off call, because the crew already knows the building.
On a recent office property with three stories and a flat roof, the quote turned on the internal drains and the compacted debris, which had not been cleared in years. The crew did a thorough cleaning of the downspouts, flushed them, and reseated the strainers before the report went out. To quote your property we need the address or site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings, and who the invoice goes to. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the roofline and we will put the quote in writing.
| 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.
Gutter cleaning needs vary, but most Antioch properties we service take two cleanings a year, in the spring and the late fall. Restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover are on quarterly. What we pull out of a restaurant gutter every second month is grease, seed and wet debris packed into the elbows, and the crew would rather catch it early than clean it after an overflow. The same rule holds for residential and commercial buildings, where roof type and debris load set the interval.
Our crews find the most debris after a storm, when the managers who call us after a storm usually find the gutters full of leaves and grit. A blockage in one run is enough to push water over the edge in a heavy winter storm, and that is when most overflow happens on properties that skipped a cleaning. Gutter cleaning and maintenance is set building by building, so the frequency reflects what each roof actually collects.
On flat roofs, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without any warning. The first thing a tenant usually notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, which is why every visit ends with a final inspection of the drains. Our cleaning services run on the same calendar, so no building goes a full season without eyes on its drains.
| 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.
Antioch is inside our service area, and our crew does commercial gutter cleaning across the business districts and corridors where we have serviced properties. Properties in the surrounding areas follow the same booking. For a property manager with several buildings, scheduling runs through one contact. You get one date confirmed in writing for each building, and the crew checks in with the on-site contact when we arrive. If you want the work timed around tenant hours, tell us when you book and we plan the day around it. Call (866) 435-6328 to book the first date.
A portfolio gets one invoice per building, with the linear footage shown, so an owner or board can check each charge. A homeowner with one building or a portfolio manager with several gets the same per-building invoice. The same crew handles every building on the schedule, which keeps the gutter cleaning process consistent from property to property. We offer gutter cleaning for homeowners and businesses with landscape-adjacent properties, and our professional gutter cleaning services cover residential gutter cleaning as well. We also run the same gutter maintenance routine on commercial and residential properties alike. Clean gutters help protect your home or business from water coming in at the fascia and siding. Plenty of gutter cleaning companies send a crew and leave no record, and a gutter company that keeps no record is how a leak goes unnoticed behind the fascia until it reaches a ceiling, so we track each run. Standing water from a blocked run can cause roof leaks and water damage inside the building, so we flag it in every report.
Our number comes per building, and it depends on the linear footage, the height and the gutter type. We write the quote before anyone is dispatched, so you know the figure in advance. We do not quote a flat rate without measuring the building first.
The lease decides, not us. Read the maintenance clause in your lease, and see the section above for how each lease type is usually handled. We send each invoice to the party the lease names. This is not legal advice.
On the restaurants and flat roofs among our commercial properties, quarterly is what keeps the internal drains clear. We find grease and debris packed into the elbows every second month, and cleaning solutions loosen it before the crew flushes the run. The parapets back up quietly if they are left longer.
Yes. We work from a boom or scissor lift matched to the roofline, with fall protection on every run. Tell us the height when you request the quote and we will confirm the setup in writing.
Yes. Tell us the tenant hours and the access rules when you book, and the crew plans the day around them. The on-site contact is checked in with on arrival, so nothing surprises the building.
We clear both. Roof drains and scuppers are part of the scope on flat roofs, and the strainers are reseated before we leave. Anything we find that needs repair is photographed and written into the report.
After a storm, the managers who call us usually find leaves and grit packed into the runs, and a clogged gutter overflows fast, so the crew can get out quickly to clear them. Heavy rain in the winter is when most overflow happens, so a thorough gutter cleaning after the storm is worth booking.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice with the linear footage shown, and we provide gutter cleaning on a recurring schedule for the whole portfolio under one contact. We confirm each date in writing, and the crew works from the same plan every season.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
