We quote commercial buildings in Davis one at a time, priced from the footprint and height of each structure, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job and a photo report when we finish. Our crew is ours and scheduled. We are not a roofer's side job squeezed in between re-roofs. Most of our Davis work is office, retail and multifamily buildings that book ahead for the spring and fall visits, and we keep a single contact for every property a manager runs.
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 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 run into on the property. A building over three stories needs a boom or scissor lift and fall-protection setup, which adds to the quote. A system nobody has cleaned in years carries compacted debris that takes longer to clear. A gutter guard, or any other gutter protection on the run, has to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Oversized box gutters and industrial gutters take more time per foot. Roof drains and scuppers on a flat roof are cleared as part of the job. The number of buildings on one site also changes the setup, and hardened sludge that needs cleaning solutions is handled inside the quote.
Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building in Davis and the surrounding areas, and they are not billed as extras. 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. Our gutter cleaning service covers the clog in each run, not only the sections that are easy to reach from the ground, so the quote reflects the whole system and the overflow points where water leaves it.
Here is how we use the experience we have in Davis. We do not name a property here without its details on file. What we need to quote your Davis building is the address or site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, how many buildings are on the site and who the invoice goes to. With those we can write a number you can check. For a commercial property that is more than one building, the same protect your home mindset applies to the rest of the portfolio, and we quote each building on its own so a board or owner can see where the cost sits. Our thorough cleaning goes into the same photo report every time, and a thorough gutter cleaning is never signed off without it.
| 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 residential and commercial properties we service in Davis are on two visits a year, one in spring and one in December to early January, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees on quarterly. Our cleaning services are scheduled around what each roof actually collects, and the gutter cleaning process repeats the same checks so the managers get the same result each visit.
What we find after a storm is the reason most managers call us back. Davis gets about 21 inches of rain a year, most of it in December, January and February, and that rain brings grit and leaf mat into the runs, where a single blockage at a downspout can back water up within one storm. The post-storm call-outs turn up downspouts that have backed water behind the fascia and down the siding. The months when leaves and pollen load the gutters are the ones we book hardest, and the freeze risk is what we check for before the sagging starts.
On flat roofs the water does not announce itself. 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, and why a quarterly property usually gets a short inspection on the off months, so a gutter system that is filling up gets caught before it reaches the ceiling. Whether a property is a homeowner's association building or a retail site, a schedule is cheaper to keep than a leak is to fix. Our gutter cleaners work from the same photo standard on every visit, which is why the final inspection is part of each service.
| 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 professional gutter cleaning services for commercial properties across Davis. The crew also handles residential and commercial properties on the same photo standard, and we do residential gutter cleaning for any home or business that wants the same crew on a single house or a storefront. Our service area in Davis follows the business corridors where we have serviced properties, and we can schedule a single building or a full portfolio under one contact. A property manager gets one contact from one gutter company, one written date and one invoice per building.
When a site has several buildings, we confirm the dates in writing, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. We time the work around tenant hours where asked, so a restaurant or an office is not disturbed during service. The landscape around a commercial lot often holds leaf litter and grit that can drop back into a freshly cleared run, so we schedule the cleaning to follow the grounds work where that matters. Water damage is what we are trying to prevent, and a clean system is the simplest way to do it.
We provide gutter cleaning for portfolios as well as single properties, and the gutter cleaning and maintenance schedule is set building by building. Each property gets its own gutter cleaning needs assessed on site, so a multi-building account is quoted on the actual condition of each roof. We offer gutter cleaning on a recurring basis for owners who want to stop chasing the work, and we will set up one contact for the whole account. Call (866) 435-6328 to book a date, or text a photo of the roofline and we will start from there.
When you compare gutter cleaning companies, ask what the number covers. We quote per building, and the number depends on linear footage, height, gutter type and what is in the system. We put it in writing for each building before anyone is dispatched, so you can see exactly what the price covers.
The lease decides, not us. Read the maintenance clause in your lease or ask the attorney who drafted it. This is not legal advice, and the lease cases are set out in the section above.
On the restaurants and flat roofs we service, quarterly is what keeps the internal drains and scuppers clear. We check the roof between cleanings because a backed-up drain shows up as a ceiling stain before it shows up anywhere else.
Yes. Commercial buildings above three stories are cleaned from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection in place. The lift is matched to the building, and the height is confirmed when we quote, not assumed.
Yes. We schedule around tenant hours and follow the access rules the property sets, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact when they arrive. Call (866) 435-6328 and tell us the hours to avoid.
We clear the roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the job, along with the gutters and downspouts. A blocked scupper left alone can cause roof leaks, so anything we find that needs repair is photographed and reported, not repaired without authorization.
After a severe storm in Davis, the usual call is about a clogged gutter: runs full of grit and downspouts that have backed water behind the fascia. Across California, atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days, and that is what loads the runs. We inspect and clear what we find, and photograph it for the manager. Text a photo of the roofline to start.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice with the linear footage shown, and a recurring gutter maintenance schedule can cover the whole portfolio under one contact. We handle commercial and residential properties on the same invoice format. 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.
