We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building in Burbank, priced from each building's footprint and height. Every job is done with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift, and you get a photo report of every run when we finish. The crew is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Across California, our crews keep spring and late fall bookings for offices, retail and multifamily buildings that need their gutters clear before the rain and leaf seasons.
Quoted per building from footage, height and gutter type, in writing, before anyone is dispatched. Scheduled service costs less than a call-out.
Every gutter cleaning service we book is quoted per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. Nothing goes on the schedule until you have the number on paper.
Four things move the quote on our jobs. Height is the big one: above three stories the crew works from a boom or scissor lift under fall-protection rules, and that changes the setup and the time. Compacted debris matters too, because a clog that has sat for years takes longer to clear than a run cleaned twice a year. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, oversized or box gutters, and roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs all add time. The number of buildings on one site is the last factor, since a multi-building property moves faster when the crew is already set up.
Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras, because a thorough cleaning that skips them is not much of a cleaning. 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. Hand the property over on a schedule and the per-visit rate comes down. Gutter protection and guard installation are quoted separately and are not part of a cleaning visit, so a thorough gutter cleaning is priced on the cleaning alone.
Across California, we have quoted properties that look nothing like each other, and what sets the price is always the same handful of facts. For a Burbank property, we need the address or a site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, how many buildings sit on the site, and who the invoice goes to. With those five items we can write the quote the same day you ask. A quote for a single low office building and a quote for a three-building site with a lift requirement are priced on the same logic across our service area, just with different inputs.
If the gutters still overflow after cleaning, that is usually a slope or a sagging run, not a cleaning problem, and we say so in the report instead of booking a second visit to sell you more work. A blockage at a downspout elbow can look the same from the ground, and the report says where it is. Overflow that runs past the edge stains siding and paint below it, and it can start water damage at the fascia. Clean gutters protect your home or business from exactly that. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you which of those your building needs.
| 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 buildings we service across California are on twice a year, spring and late fall, while restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover are on quarterly. Those are the properties where we see the biggest buildup between visits.
On the Burbank properties we service, the storm season is the reason managers call us. Across California, atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days, so a storm call can come at any point in the season. A post-storm inspection often turns up a pulled hanger, a seam that has separated, or a downspout that backed up and found the wall. We still clean on the regular schedule, but the storm call is the one that tends to be urgent.
A restaurant gutter fills faster than any other kind of building we work on. Grease and food grit mix with leaves, and by the second month it is a paste you can smell from the parking lot. Buildings under heavy tree cover fill from the bottom of the run upward, so quarterly visits keep the downspouts from packing solid. Leaves and seed pods from the landscape around the building settle into the same runs, and a gutter guard slows that down without stopping it.
Flat roofs need a different kind of attention. Parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently, and the first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister. That is why the monthly check between cleanings exists. A walk along the roof line catches a blocked drain before it reaches the ceiling. Every check ends with a final inspection of the drains, and the findings go in writing.
Our Burbank jobs follow the same cleaning process across the property types, and only the schedule changes. For a standard building we clean twice a year, and a restaurant or flat-roof property goes quarterly. Across California, our spring visits fall in mid to late June and our fall visits in late November to December. Gutter guards and other cleaning solutions change the interval, and each gutter system sets its own pace, so the schedule is set building by building. Call (866) 435-6328 to set the schedule for your building, or book a date and we will confirm it in writing.
| 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 provide gutter cleaning services for commercial properties across Burbank, and we offer gutter cleaning and maintenance on a schedule for owners and managers with more than one building. Our professional gutter cleaning services cover the office, retail and multifamily buildings that make up most of the work here, and the crew handles a single building or a whole portfolio the same way. Burbank is the center of our service area, and the surrounding areas are scheduled on the same terms.
For a property manager running several sites, scheduling works through one contact. You tell us the buildings, we set a date for each in writing, and the crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. Work can be timed around tenant hours where that is asked for. If the building has a required access window, we plan the lift around it. Plenty of gutter cleaning companies bill by the hour, and we quote by the building instead, in writing, before the crew is dispatched. Gutter cleaners who work a whole portfolio on one calendar save the manager from chasing a separate invoice for every visit. Tell us your gutter cleaning needs by building and the quote comes back in writing.
We also do residential gutter cleaning, and a homeowner gets the same crew and the same written quote as a property manager. Residential and commercial jobs run on one schedule, and the crew serves homeowners and businesses alike. Our commercial work is where the scheduling and the per-building invoicing matter most, and it is what this page is about. Call (866) 435-6328 or book a date and we will confirm the visit in writing.
Commercial gutter cleaning is quoted per building, and the number depends on the linear footage, the height and the gutter type. We do not quote a figure without a site plan or a measurement, and the number comes in writing per building before the crew is dispatched. The gutter cleaning process starts with that site plan, then the booking, then the photo report.
Who pays depends on the lease, not on us, and the maintenance clause is where that answer sits. If the wording is unclear, the attorney who drafted the lease can tell you which party carries gutter and downspout upkeep.
On restaurants and flat-roof buildings we see grease, grit and drains that back up silently, so quarterly visits are what keep them clear. A blocked run can cause roof leaks when water backs up under the membrane or shingles, and a leak at the fascia usually traces back to the gutter. We would rather plan a schedule with you than guess at one, so text a photo of the roofline and we will say what your building needs.
Yes, we clean gutters on buildings over three stories, using a boom or scissor lift and fall-protection gear on every job. A clogged gutter high up is still the same job, and the lift is priced into the quote once you tell us the height.
Yes, we schedule around tenant hours and on-site access rules. The on-site contact gets a date in writing, and the crew checks in on arrival.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the job, along with the gutters and downspouts. The strainer domes get reseated when we are done. Regular gutter maintenance between visits is mostly a matter of watching the downspouts after heavy rain.
After a severe storm in Burbank, the post-storm call-outs can turn up pulled hangers, separated seams and downspouts that backed up and found the wall. We photograph each one and put it in the report. The goal is simple: clean gutters after the storm, and a photo to prove it.
Yes, we invoice per building and set up a recurring schedule for several properties. You get one contact for the whole portfolio, and each building gets its own invoice and photo report. The same setup works for commercial and residential properties, and you tell us whether each site is a home or business so the schedule matches. Choosing a gutter company comes down to whether the quote is in writing per building. Call (866) 435-6328 to set it up.
