We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building, priced from each building's footprint and height. Every job runs with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift, and you get a photo report of each run after we leave. Our crew is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. We service office, retail and multifamily properties across California, and most of our commercial clients book their cleanings for spring and late 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 maintenance per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. What moves the number is what we find on the property: a building over three stories that needs a boom or scissor lift and fall protection, compacted debris in a system nobody has opened in years, any gutter guard that has to be lifted and reseated, oversized or box gutters, and roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs. The number of buildings on one site also changes the setup, because we can run several roofs from one mobilization, whether it is a residential and commercial mix or a row of storefronts. A home or business gets the same written scope.
Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras, and every job closes with a final inspection before the crew leaves. 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. To set up a quote, send the address or a site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who the invoice goes to. Once we have those, the figure comes back in writing with the scope spelled out, so the cost cleaning sits on the record before a truck is booked.
Here is how our commercial work goes on a Compton property. The crew reads the site, measures the run, checks each downspout for a clog and notes any siding staining below a failing run and whether it needs cleaning solutions, then writes the quote from what it found. Our per-building price is one gutter cleaning service, not a menu of add-ons, and we bill it that way. Many gutter cleaners quote by the foot, and some gutter cleaning companies leave the rest open; we would rather put the whole building on one page so a manager can compare it to a site visit they already have on file.
| 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 Compton properties we service are on twice a year, spring and late fall, and the restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover or landscape debris are on quarterly. Our cleaning services are scheduled by the blockage we pull out of each building, not by a calendar rule. Across California, the storm season puts the most water through these systems in a short window, and the post-storm inspections are where we usually find the separated seams and sagging runs that the tenant does not see from the parking lot.
On a flat roof the parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently, and the first sign of overflow is usually water over the parapet edge. The first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, which is why we run a monthly check between cleanings on those buildings. Our gutter cleaning process on these sites starts at the drain, not the gutter, because a blocked drain is what turns a flat roof into a leak. A water damage claim costs far more than the cleaning schedule, and it usually starts with a clogged gutter nobody reported.
The properties on the quarterly plan are the ones that fill fastest, and the managers who keep them on it usually already had a ceiling repair, so we provide gutter cleaning to every homeowner and business on one standing order, with the frequency set by the building and not by the weather.
Call (866) 435-6328, text a photo of the roofline, or book a date, and we will map the building's gutter cleaning needs in writing before the first truck rolls.
| 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 run professional gutter cleaning services for commercial properties across Compton, including the business corridors and the properties where we have already worked a full season. Our service area takes in Compton and the nearby towns where we already run a crew, and the same written scope goes out for every address inside it. For a property manager with several buildings, the handling is simple: one contact for every building, a date confirmed in writing, and a crew that checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. Where the tenants need the work done around business hours, we time the crew to those hours, and we say so in the quote.
The same crew handles commercial and residential properties, though our commercial scheduling is built around per-building invoices and recurring dates. We also do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners, which is the same crew doing the same flushing and clearing. Keeping the gutter system clear on a multi-building site is what keeps a roofline from failing in one spot first, since a blocked run can cause roof leaks long before anyone walks the roof.
Our gutter cleaning and maintenance work on these sites is scheduled and invoiced the same way every time, so a manager can line up the cleanings against the building's annual budget. We are a gutter company that works the roofs ourselves, so the person who quotes the job is usually the person who sees it through, and we offer gutter cleaning with the photo record for each building kept on file. Clean gutters are the first line against a roof leak, and the record is what lets a manager show an owner or a board that the work was done.
Call (866) 435-6328 or book a date, and we will put the scope in writing before the first visit.
We quote per building, and the number depends on the linear footage, the height and the gutter type. Some companies quote per foot; we put the whole building on one written page so the scope is clear. The figure covers a thorough gutter cleaning of every run and drain, and it comes back in writing before anyone is dispatched.
The lease decides it, not us. Read the maintenance clause in the section above for the three common lease types. We write the invoice to whichever party the lease names, and this is not legal advice, so check with the attorney who drafted the lease.
On the restaurant and flat-roof buildings we service in Compton and the surrounding areas, quarterly is what keeps the drains and scuppers clear. A flat roof backs up without warning, so the monthly check between cleanings is what catches a problem early and helps protect your home or business from a leak.
Yes. We run fall protection and a boom or scissor lift matched to the building anywhere in our service area, and the lift is part of the quote. Height is the biggest single factor in the price, so send the stories count with the address.
Yes. We time the crew around tenant hours when asked and check in with the on-site contact on arrival. Tell us the access rules up front and we put them in the scope.
We clear both, and the thorough cleaning covers the drains and the gutter runs alike. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs are part of the job, and the strainer domes get reseated after clearing, and any gutter protection in the way gets lifted and set back. A blocked drain is usually the first sign of trouble.
After a severe storm we do post-storm call-outs, and we photograph each separated seam, sagging run or pulled downspout for the report without repairing it until you authorize the work.
Yes. We invoice per building with the linear footage shown, and a recurring schedule covers all your properties on one contact. Call (866) 435-6328 to set up the dates, or text a photo of the roofline and we will confirm the scope in writing.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
