We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building, priced from its footprint and height, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job and a photo report after. Our crew is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Across California we service office, retail and multifamily properties, and we book most of them for spring and late fall. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline to get a written estimate.
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. Every quote comes out of the same gutter cleaning process, and it covers our gutter cleaning service for each of the commercial buildings on the site, not a per-visit guess.
Several things move the number on our jobs. Height above three stories means a boom or scissor lift and the fall-protection setup that goes with it. A gutter system not cleaned in years brings compacted debris and a clog at nearly every downspout. Where there is a gutter guard or other gutter protection on the run, it has to be lifted and reseated before the gutter can be cleared. Oversized or box gutters take more time per foot, and roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs need their own pass. The number of buildings on one site also changes the math, because setup is shared across them. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras. Where grit will not clear with water, the crew uses cleaning solutions suited to the roof, and the report says what was used. 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.
On a site with three stories, a flat roof with internal drains and two buildings, the number reflects all three, and the estimate lists what the first pass found. For a Brentwood property we need the address or a site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who the invoice goes to. A thorough cleaning starts with the gutters and then the drains, so the quote reflects the building as it is, not as it looks from the parking lot. Any gutter that still overflows after cleaning is a slope problem, and we say so in the report instead of selling a second cleaning. Overflow that runs down the wall also stains siding, so the report notes where the water lands. Some gutter cleaners quote from the curb with no site walk, and some gutter cleaning companies bill by the visit with no measurement, which is how a building gets a surprise invoice. The cleaning process ends with a final inspection of each run, and the photo report goes out with the invoice. Clear figures and a clear scope, both in writing, before the work starts.
| 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 Brentwood properties we service are on twice a year, spring and late fall, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover on quarterly. Across California the storm season is where the calls come from, and the managers who call us after a storm are usually the ones who skipped the last visit.
What we pull out of a restaurant gutter every second month is grease-laced leaf mat and wet grit that the downspouts can't carry. Under a heavy landscape of mature trees, the debris packs the outlets between visits, and a blockage at the outlet is the usual reason a downspout overflows. A flat roof is a different problem entirely, because the parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently. A clogged gutter on a flat roof shows up as standing water at the parapet. The first thing the tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile, a leak, or a membrane blister, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists as part of our gutter maintenance. Left alone, a blocked gutter can cause roof leaks, so keeping clean gutters on the schedule helps protect your home or business from water damage.
| 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.
Our service area covers the business districts and corridors of Brentwood and the surrounding areas where we have serviced properties. We provide gutter cleaning for commercial properties of every size, from a single plaza to a multi-building site, and we offer gutter cleaning on the same scheduled terms at each one. Our cleaning services run through one contact for every building in the portfolio, with a date confirmed in writing and a crew that checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. We time the work around tenant hours where asked, and we set up gutter cleaning and maintenance for multi-site owners as one account instead of separate invoices.
Our crew handles commercial and residential properties for homeowners and businesses from the same roster, so a property manager with a mixed portfolio can book both through one company. We are a gutter company with a scheduled crew, and a homeowner who needs residential gutter cleaning can call the same office. Call (866) 435-6328 to set up a schedule for your buildings.
It depends on the linear footage, the height and the gutter type, and we price it per building in writing. The number comes from a site plan or a satellite measurement before anyone is dispatched, and that is the first step of our gutter cleaning process.
The lease decides, so read the maintenance clause and see the lease-type section above for how the cases usually read. We write the invoice to whoever the lease names. This is not legal advice.
On the restaurants and flat roofs we service, quarterly is what keeps the downspouts clear and the drains open. Between visits the monthly check catches the first signs of backing up.
Yes, using a boom or scissor lift with fall protection on every job. Tell us the height and the roof type when you request the quote.
Yes. We schedule around tenant hours and sign in with the on-site contact on arrival. Access rules go into the job file before the crew is dispatched.
We clear both. A thorough cleaning of the flat-roof pass covers roof drains and scuppers, and we photograph anything that looks like a cracked scupper or a separated seam.
After a storm the calls turn up debris-packed downspouts and standing water at the parapets. Left alone, that water can cause roof leaks, which is why we offer a post-storm visit. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will get a crew out to check the roofline.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice with the footage shown, and gutter cleaning and maintenance for all of them run on one recurring schedule under one contact. Ask for a written estimate and we will book the first date.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
