We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building in Dublin, priced from each building's footprint and height. Every job is worked with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift, and you get a photo report of every run when we finish. Our crew is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Across California we service office, retail and multifamily properties, and most of our Dublin site visits are booked for spring and 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 cleaning per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement before anyone is dispatched. Height is the biggest single factor on our jobs: above three stories we bring the boom or scissor lift the roofline needs, and fall protection goes on every crew. What moves a quote next is compacted debris on a system nobody has 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. The cleaning solutions we use are listed on the estimate, so you can see them before work starts. A scheduled semi-annual or quarterly service is priced lower than a one-off call, because the crew already knows the property and the footage is measured. Every Dublin property gets one written estimate per building, with the cleaning services, the cleaning process and the final inspection itemized so you can compare them against a bid from the other gutter cleaners or gutter cleaning companies on your list. A homeowner asking about one house gets the same written format.
Our experience with residential and commercial buildings is that the quote comes in faster when we have the right information. To price a Dublin property we need the address or site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who the invoice goes to. For a site where the gutter system has been neglected, we will note the condition in the estimate so the cost is clear before we start, and we will flag any gutter guard that needs to come off to reach the run.
| 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 Dublin properties we service, most buildings are on twice a year, spring and late fall, while restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover are on quarterly. We offer gutter cleaning on those two schedules, and we provide gutter cleaning on each visit with the same crew. On our jobs the managers who call us after a storm are almost always the ones who skipped their last visit, so we set each site's gutter cleaning needs once and keep to that schedule. Each of these is one of our professional gutter cleaning services, with the same fall protection and the same photo report.
What we pull out of a restaurant gutter every second month is grease-bound leaves and fryer-season grit, packed hard enough that a single pass with a blower does nothing. Storm season brings the heaviest load: after a hard rain the downstream runs fill with the debris that washed off the roof, and that is when we see the blockage that causes overflow at the foundation. A downspout that empties onto a landscape bed can also carry mulch back into the outlet. Between visits the gutters hold up on their own, but a run that is not checked for a season can start to pull away at the hangers, and water spilling over it runs down the siding, which is where water damage begins.
On flat roofs the parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without any warning. The first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, which is why the monthly check between cleanings is part of our gutter cleaning and maintenance routine. We do not sell a second visit for that; we photograph what we find and report it, and the schedule is adjusted from there.
| 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 service commercial buildings across Dublin and the surrounding areas, from the business corridors out to the single-tenant lots, and our service area follows the portfolio. We handle commercial and residential properties on the same schedule when a portfolio mixes the two. As a gutter company with its own crew, we set up one contact for all of a property manager's buildings and confirm each date in writing. Our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival, and we time work around tenant hours where asked. A clogged gutter is the most common reason a manager calls us, and a clog that is already causing a leak down a wall is the one that cannot wait, so we flag any site where the water is already reaching the building.
Multi-building sites are priced per building, and the gutter cleaning process is the same at every address, which keeps the work consistent across a portfolio. We also do residential gutter cleaning, but this page is about commercial work. Clean gutters on every building prevent the overflow that can cause roof leaks, and keeping every run clear helps protect your home or business from that same water. That is why most of our portfolio clients keep a standing schedule with us. Whether you run homeowners and businesses on one account or a single lot, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline to set up gutter maintenance on a fixed calendar.
We quote per building, and the number depends on the linear footage, the stories and the gutter type. A thorough cleaning covers every run on the building, and a thorough gutter cleaning is what the per-building figure pays for. We write the figure out in advance so there is no surprise on the invoice.
The lease decides. The section above shows how the three common lease types usually read, and this is not legal advice, so read the maintenance clause of your lease or ask the attorney who drafted it.
On our jobs those properties are on quarterly, because grease, grit and internal drains fill faster than a standard roof. We adjust from the first visit based on what we find.
Yes. On commercial properties of that height, we work from a boom or scissor lift matched to the building, with fall protection on every job. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will confirm the setup for your roofline.
Yes. We schedule around tenant hours and follow the access rules on the site, and we check in with the on-site contact when we arrive. Text a photo of the roofline and we will confirm access before the date is booked.
We clear the roof drains and scuppers along with the gutters and downspouts, and we report anything we cannot reach. Repairs and gutter protection installation are outside our scope, so anything we find gets photographed and described for you.
The post-storm calls usually turn up blocked downspouts, debris pushed into the runs and gutters pulled loose at the hangers. Water that overshoots a full run can soak the siding below it, and we note that in the photo report. We inspect and report what we find; if you want the cleaning done, ask for a written estimate and we will book a date.
Yes, each building is invoiced separately and the recurring schedule is set once for the whole portfolio. Call (866) 435-6328 to set it up, or book a date online and we will confirm it in writing.
