We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building, priced from each building's footprint and height. Our crew does the work ourselves on a set schedule, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job and a photo report when we finish. Most of our commercial visits fall in spring and late fall, and we book the date with you in advance.
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 satellite measurement before anyone is dispatched. What moves the quote is what we run into on the property: commercial buildings above three stories that need a boom or scissor lift under fall-protection rules, compacted debris on a system that has not been cleaned in years, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, oversized or box gutters, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, 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 for the roof surface are outside the gutter scope. 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 our Chino commercial work, one recent property is a useful example of what sets a quote. It was a multi-building site where the number of buildings and the stories on the taller unit decided the lift setup, and what we found in the gutters, a clogged gutter with debris compacted in the lower runs, is what we priced for. You can read that job here, and we will walk the same checklist with your site. Send us the address or a site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings, and who the invoice goes to, and we will put the number in writing. The service area for this work includes the surrounding areas, and we apply the same process to each property we clean. Our gutter cleaning service covers the clog, the overflow and the siding runoff that comes with a neglected system, and thorough gutter cleaning is what protects your building from water damage. Ask for the written estimate and we will send it the same day.
| 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 of the Chino properties we service are on twice a year, spring and late fall, while restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover go on a quarterly schedule. Across California the pattern holds for storm-exposed buildings as well, and the managers who call us after a storm are usually the ones who skipped their last visit. We keep the gutter cleaning process the same on every schedule: the crew clears the runs, flushes every downspout and checks the outlets.
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 blistered membrane, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists. A restaurant gutter is a different job from an office gutter, because what comes off a kitchen roof is grease and debris that packs the elbows within two months.
We find that the gutter system on a home or business that is cleaned on schedule stays clear between visits, and that a building that has been left for a season or two needs a full cleaning and a final inspection before the crew leaves. Regular gutter maintenance is what keeps the runs clear, and a gutter guard slows the buildup without ending the need for a cleaning. A cleaned system helps protect your home or business between visits. For a multi-building site we give you one schedule across all the buildings, so one gutter company handles the whole portfolio. Book the next date and tell us which of these properties you manage, and we will set the interval by building.
| 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 crew works across Chino's business districts, corridors and business parks, serving commercial properties of every size, and we provide gutter cleaning on a per-building basis for each address on the list. We offer professional gutter cleaning services for office, retail and multifamily buildings, and we handle the residential gutter jobs in the area too, since we also do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners and businesses alike. A homeowner with one building gets the same per-building written quote. We also offer gutter cleaning for a single building as a one-off. Water damage is the reason most managers call us, usually after a leak shows up on a ceiling or a fascia board starts to rot.
For a property manager, scheduling works through one contact. The same crew handles residential and commercial work, and the same written quote applies across commercial and residential properties. You get one date confirmed in writing for all the buildings on the site, our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival, and we time the work around tenant hours where you ask us to. If a building has a blockage we find while cleaning, we photograph it and report it to you, along with any gutter protection it needs, and we do not perform gutter cleaning and maintenance work beyond the scope you approved. Where the landscape drops leaves onto the roof, the crew checks the runs on every visit. Tell us your gutter cleaning needs and we will confirm the lead time for your portfolio. Call (866) 435-6328 to get it started.
We price per building, based on the footage, the height and the type of gutter. The number comes in writing for each building, not as a single rate for the whole portfolio. When you compare gutter cleaners or gutter cleaning companies, ask whether downspout flushing and debris haul-off are in the quote.
The lease decides. Check the maintenance clause in your lease, and see the section above for how each lease type is handled. This is not legal advice.
On the restaurants and flat roofs we service, quarterly is the schedule that keeps the runs clear, because grease and debris build up fast. A clogged gutter on a flat roof can cause roof leaks, so the interval stays short.
Yes. We bring a boom or scissor lift and set up fall protection for the height, and we confirm the setup on the site plan before the crew is dispatched.
Yes. Tell us the hours and the access rules, and we will schedule the crew to match them.
Both. We clear the roof drains and scuppers along with the gutter runs, so the building ends up with clean gutters and open drains, and we report anything we find that needs repair.
After a storm we see debris packed into the runs and downspouts that were already marginal. Text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you what we expect to find.
Yes. Send us the list of buildings and who the invoice goes to, and we will set up a recurring schedule with one invoice per building. Call (866) 435-6328 to book the first date.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
