We quote commercial gutter work per building, priced from the footprint and height of each one. Every job runs with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift, and you get a photo report of every run when we finish.
Our crew does this work full time, on a schedule. We are not a roofer fitting gutters in between re-roofs. Most of our Fairfield bookings come in spring and late fall, ahead of the seasons that load gutters hardest.
Quoted per building from footage, height and gutter type, in writing, before anyone is dispatched. Scheduled service costs less than a call-out.
Before anyone is dispatched to clean gutters, we quote commercial gutter work per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement. You will have the number before we send a truck. Compare the written numbers, not a guess from one of the gutter cleaners who never saw the roofline.
Four things move a quote on our jobs. Height is the big one: above three stories we bring a boom or scissor lift and work under fall-protection rules, which adds setup time. Compacted debris matters too. A gutter system nobody has cleaned in years takes longer to clear, and a clog that backs up will overflow onto the siding below. A gutter guard has to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run, and oversized or box gutters take more time per linear foot. On flat roofs we also clear roof drains and scuppers, and the number of buildings on one site changes the setup for the whole visit.
Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras, and every job ends with a final inspection of each run. Scheduled semi-annual or quarterly gutter cleaning service is priced lower than a one-off call, because the crew already knows the building and the dates are set a season ahead. The same per-building method applies to commercial and residential properties. Some gutter cleaning companies quote by the hour, which makes the final bill hard to predict. We quote the building instead.
On a Fairfield property, what we need to quote it is the address or a site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who the invoice goes to. A recent office site with three buildings on one invoice was quoted from the site plan alone and needed no visit before the date was set; the owner's property manager got one written estimate covering all three.
If the roof needs cleaning solutions, the estimate lists them on their own line. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline, and we will send a written estimate per building.
| 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 Fairfield properties we service are on twice a year, spring and late fall, and that rhythm fits most gutter cleaning needs. Restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover are on quarterly.
Here is what our professional gutter cleaning services pull out of these gutters. Atmospheric rivers deliver most of California's rain in a handful of days, and the post-storm calls we take from property managers usually turn up packed downspouts and standing water at the low corners of flat roofs. In spring the seed and pollen load is heavy, and in late fall the wet leaf mat is what we clear first. Freeze risk is part of the picture in this area. Fairfield gets about 24.5 inches of rain a year, and December, January and February are its wettest months, so our late fall visit, usually December to early January, is the one that matters most for the lower runs.
On flat roofs, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without any sound. The first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists on those roofs. Waiting for a stain is the wrong trigger, because a blocked drain can cause roof leaks long before anyone sees one.
The gutter cleaning process is the same on every schedule: the runs get cleared by hand or vacuum, every downspout is flushed until it runs clear, and debris is bagged off site. Whether the building is on a plan or booked once, our cleaning services follow the same steps. We provide gutter cleaning on the schedule that fits the property, and the managers who keep a semi-annual plan with us tell their board the cost of a missed visit is almost always water damage, not the cleaning itself.

| 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 crew provides professional gutter service to commercial properties across Fairfield, including multi-building sites and portfolios spread across several addresses. Ask us about the business corridors where we already service properties and we will tell you which of them we have worked in. Before you book, check whether your address falls inside our service area. A site with heavy landscape along the eaves usually needs more time for debris, and we say so in the quote.
For a property manager, scheduling with one gutter company is simple. One contact handles every building on the account, the date is confirmed in writing, and the crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. Where tenant hours matter, we time the work around them. Lead time depends on the season and the size of the portfolio, so we confirm the first available date when you call rather than promising one ahead of time.
We also do residential gutter cleaning for the homeowner who calls, and we serve homeowners and businesses from the same crew. Whether it is a home or business, you get the same written quote. Commercial work is scheduled per building, so a portfolio gets one gutter maintenance calendar and one invoice per building. Ready to book? Call (866) 435-6328 and we will confirm the first open date in writing.
We quote per building, and the number depends on the linear footage, the height and the gutter type. Some managers ask for a per-foot figure to compare bids, and we can break the written estimate down that way too. Either way the number comes to you in writing before we are scheduled.
On the restaurants and flat roofs we service, quarterly is what keeps internal drains moving, because grease and debris build up faster than on a standard roof. A clogged gutter is easy to miss from the ground, so between cleanings a visual check of the scuppers catches a blockage before it turns into a leak in a tenant's ceiling.
Yes. Above three stories we bring a boom or scissor lift and work under fall-protection rules, and the setup is part of the quote. Tell us the height and whether the building already has gutter protection when you request the estimate, since a guard adds time to each run.
Yes. We schedule around tenant hours and follow the building's access rules, including sign-in and any restricted areas. The on-site contact is told the work window in advance.
Both. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs are cleared with the gutters on the same visit, and we photograph each one in the report. Each visit is a thorough gutter cleaning from end to end.
Post-storm calls usually turn up packed downspouts and standing water on flat roofs, so we clear what is blocking flow, report anything that needs repair without doing it ourselves, and a thorough cleaning right after the storm helps protect your home or business from water coming through the roof.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice and its own photo report, and a portfolio can run on one recurring calendar. Properties in the surrounding areas can go on the same calendar if they fall inside our service area. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will set up the schedule for all of your properties.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
