We quote each commercial gutter job per building, from its footprint and height, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job and a photo report when we leave. Our crew is scheduled and dedicated to this work, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. On our Citrus Heights jobs we service office, retail and multifamily properties, and most book ahead of the spring and fall seasons.
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 each building as its own thorough gutter cleaning service, from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. Every quote covers each run, top to bottom. Property managers often compare gutter cleaners on price alone, so we put the full scope in the quote, not in a footnote. The number we quote is the number we invoice.
What moves the quote on our properties: height above three stories and the boom or scissor lift it requires under fall-protection rules, compacted debris on a gutter system not cleaned in years, a gutter guard or other gutter protection that has to be lifted to reach the channel, 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. Scheduled gutter maintenance, semi-annual or quarterly, is priced lower than a one-off call, because the crew already knows the building.
On a Citrus Heights job we work from the same questions every time: how many stories, what roof type, how many buildings, and who the invoice goes to. A clog or blockage in a downstream run often means the slope is wrong, not the cleaning, and we say so in the report instead of quoting a second visit. If a gutter shows overflow again after a clean, that is a slope problem, and we flag it. Where a property sits in a service area that needs a crew on the road, the quote covers the drive, and we tell you that before we book.
To quote a Citrus Heights property we need the address or a site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings, and the name of the party that pays. Send those and we return a per-building figure in writing. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline to start the quote.
| 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.
On the Citrus Heights properties we service, most are on twice a year, spring and late fall, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover or landscape beds on quarterly. Our crew sets the interval from what comes out of the system, not from a generic guideline.
What we find: the storm season drives the post-storm inspections, and the managers who call us after a storm usually have debris packed into the lower runs. Leaf and pollen load fills the channels between visits, and freeze risk is low here, so the cleaning window stays open through most of the year.
On flat roofs, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently, and a clogged gutter or drain shows up as a stained ceiling tile, a membrane blister or a leak before anyone sees water on the roof. A backed-up drain can cause roof leaks at the seams, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists. A flat roof with internal drains is the property type where a missed visit shows up inside the building before it shows up on the roof.
Our gutter cleaning process is the same on every property, and the cleaning services we provide include a final inspection of each run before the crew leaves, with photos sent to the property contact. The crew picks the cleaning solutions for the job, from dry clearing to flushing. Regular cleaning is how you protect your home or business from water damage that starts at the gutter line.
| 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 commercial crews work across Citrus Heights and the surrounding areas, including the business corridors where we have serviced properties. For a property manager with several buildings, professional gutter cleaning services mean one contact for every building on the portfolio, one date confirmed in writing, and one invoice per building with the linear footage shown.
When our crew arrives it checks in with the on-site contact, and work can be timed around tenant hours where asked. We keep the same people on a recurring site, so the on-site contact learns the crew the way a residential homeowner learns a regular service. For residential gutter cleaning needs, we also clean homes, and our crews take residential and commercial work from the same schedule, but this page is about commercial properties.
We understand that a building with a long gap between cleanings can show water damage at the fascia, siding, or on a ceiling, and the cleaning needs of a multi-building site often come up all at once after a storm. Our crew treats that as a scheduling problem to solve with the manager, not an emergency to sell into. We also provide gutter cleaning for homeowners and businesses across the service area, and offer gutter cleaning and maintenance on recurring schedules. Each visit is a thorough cleaning of every run, not a spot check. We quote commercial and residential properties the same way, in writing, per building. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline, and we will set a date in writing.
We quote per building, and the number depends on the linear footage, the height and the gutter type. Per linear foot is one way gutter cleaning companies compare bids, but the building's height and access set the crew's time. The figure comes to you in writing before any crew is dispatched.
Restaurants and flat roofs with internal drains go on quarterly, because grease and debris build up faster than on a standard building. Between cleanings, a monthly check catches the parapet and scupper backups that show up as stains inside. We set the first date from what we find on the first visit.
The lease decides, so read the maintenance clause; the lease-type breakdown sits in the section above. This is not legal advice, but we send each invoice to the party the lease names so the property manager is not stuck in the middle.
Yes. For commercial buildings over three stories we work from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection in place, and the lift is matched to the building. Tell us the height when you request the quote so the right equipment is booked.
Yes. Tell us the hours and the access rules, and the crew schedules around them. We check in with the on-site contact on arrival and keep the work area clear of the walkways.
We clear the gutters, downspouts, and the roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs that we can reach safely. Any drain line that runs below grade is cleared on request and quoted separately.
After a storm the post-storm call-outs most often turn up debris packed into the lower runs and drains. Our crew inspects the system, clears what is blocked and photographs the result, so the manager has a record for the building file.
Yes. We invoice each building separately with the footage shown, and we set up a recurring schedule across the portfolio on one calendar. As one gutter company, we give you a single contact for every building, so changes go through one call or one email, and we keep the dates booked a season ahead.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
