We quote commercial gutter work per building, priced from the footprint and height of each roof, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job and a photo report when we finish. The crew doing the work is ours and scheduled on a calendar, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. We work through spring and fall, and across California we service office, retail and multifamily properties on the same per-building basis. Tell us the address and stories and we will put the number in writing.
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 work 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 quote on our jobs is height above three stories and the boom or scissor lift it requires under fall-protection rules, compacted debris on a system that has not been cleaned in years, gutter guards that have 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. A clog at a downspout outlet is cleared on the same visit, so it does not become a second trip. Gutter protection adds time to the job, because the guard has to come off before the channel can be reached, and that time is already in the per-building figure. 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. Our gutter cleaning service is priced per building, not per site. Where a gutter overflow runs down the siding in a storm, the crew notes any staining under that run.
Each building gets its own figure. A two-story office with a short run of gutter and a standard roof is a different job from a three-building site with flat roofs, internal drains and a lift on each building, and we will not average them into one rate. Flat-roof commercial properties with internal drains are quoted on the drain count as well as the footage. To quote a Diamond Bar property we need the address or a site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings, and who the invoice goes to. Our service area covers the surrounding areas we already visit, and a property we have not cleaned before gets a walk-through of the roofline in the estimate before the work is booked. Keeping the channel clear helps protect your home, and on a commercial roof it does the same for the walls below. Thorough cleaning is not a line item we add later: the same crew clears the gutters, flushes every downspout and reports what it found on each building. Thorough gutter cleaning on a commercial building is one visit with one lift setup, not a return trip for the runs that were out of reach.
| 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.
Across the Diamond Bar properties we service, most are on twice a year, in spring and late fall, while restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover go on quarterly. Our crew sees more cleaning services requested after storms than at any other time, and the gutter cleaning process is faster when the gutters were cleared on schedule. On the wider California job list the pattern holds: storm-heavy winters push the early-spring visits up, and the post-storm inspections are where the debris load shows. Across California, atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days, and a gutter system that is already full takes that rain badly. Across California, the fall visit usually falls in late November to December, so the gutters are clear before the rain starts.
What we pull out of a restaurant gutter every second month is grease film, fryer-vent residue and food grit mixed into the leaf debris, and a gutter like that gets less forgiving the longer it waits. A homeowner with two storeys and a single run of gutter may go a year, but commercial buildings with the same footprint and a flat roof are a different case, and our crew treats the two differently from the first visit. Between cleanings on flat roofs we look at the parapets and internal drains on the monthly check, because parapets and scuppers back up silently. The first thing a tenant usually notices is a leak, in the form of a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, long after the water has started moving. Our gutter cleaners check the flow on every downspout at each visit and write down what they found, so the next visit starts from a record rather than a guess. Most of our commercial customers run a residential and commercial mix of properties across the same schedule, and the crew can set the frequency per building rather than per portfolio.
A gutter guard slows the buildup but does not stop it, so the guard itself gets checked on each visit. Gutter cleaning companies that book one visit a year leave a long gap, and a commercial roof can collect a lot of debris in that time. Whether the roof is over a home or business, the frequency is set by what the gutter catches, not by the calendar. Cleaning solutions for grease are a different job from leaf debris, which is why restaurant visits are scheduled apart from the rest. Each visit ends with a final inspection of the downspouts before the crew leaves the site. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the gutter, and we will tell you where the building falls on the schedule.
| 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 crews through the business corridors and office parks of Diamond Bar where we already have properties on the schedule. Our professional gutter cleaning services reach each site on the schedule, and the date is confirmed before the crew is sent. Properties with heavy landscape around them shed more debris into the gutter, and the crew plans for that before the visit. A clogged gutter pushes water back behind the fascia and into the wall, and that is how water damage starts on a building that looked fine from the ground. For a property manager with several buildings, one contact covers all of them. We confirm each date in writing, our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival, and the work is timed around tenant hours when the building asks for it. A multi-site portfolio gets one invoice per building with the linear footage shown, so an owner or a board can check the work line by line. We also offer gutter cleaning on a recurring basis for properties that need it, and the schedule can be set to match the building's own maintenance calendar. We provide gutter cleaning on a single visit or on a recurring schedule, and both are quoted per building. Tell us your gutter cleaning needs by building and the estimate comes back with the footage and the lift for each one. Gutter cleaning and maintenance are booked as one job, and any hanger or seam problem found on the visit goes into the report, with repairs quoted separately.
Residential gutter work sits in the same schedule for the same crew, so a management company with homes and offices on its books gets one scheduling contact for both. We serve homeowners and businesses on the same calendar, and each building gets its own invoice. We also do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners in the area, which is a separate price list. Lead times depend on the season and the number of buildings on a site, and we will give you the date in the estimate. Our commercial work covers properties of all kinds, and the blockage we find most often on them is at the downspout outlet and in the flat-roof drains, which is why both get checked on every visit. Call (866) 435-6328 to set a date, or text a photo of the roofline and we will say what the building needs.
We price per building, and the number depends on the linear footage, the height and the gutter type; each way of counting depends on those three things, so we give the figure in writing per building after a site plan or satellite measurement. Ask for it in writing and we will send it before anyone is booked.
The lease decides. Read the maintenance clause in your lease, which is set out in the section above, and if the clause is unclear, the attorney who drafted it is the right person to ask. This is not legal advice, and we will invoice whichever party the lease names.
On the restaurants and flat-roof properties we service in Diamond Bar, quarterly is what we find keeps the internal drains and scuppers running, because grease and grit build up faster than leaves alone. Keeping clean gutters on a quarterly schedule holds up better than a single yearly visit.
Yes. Taller commercial buildings are cleaned from a lift sized to the roofline, with fall protection in place before anyone goes up, and the lift is booked with the date.
Yes. Tell us the hours and the access rules and the crew works to them, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact before going up.
Both. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs are cleared of debris and the strainer domes are reseated as part of the same visit.
The post-storm call-outs we get turn up debris packed into downspouts and gutters that have pulled away from the fascia, and our crew photographs each run so the manager has a record. A clogged gutter that has been holding water is the one we clear first. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you what we can do.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice with the linear footage shown, and a recurring schedule can cover every building in the portfolio on one calendar. A recurring schedule is the simplest form of gutter maintenance we offer, and it works for commercial and residential properties alike. A property manager who wants one gutter company for every site gets a single contact. Ask for a written estimate and we will set up the plan.
Yes. Water that cannot leave the gutter backs up under the roof edge and finds a seam, and a blocked flat-roof drain does the same at the membrane, so the first sign of a leak is often a stain inside the building.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
