We quote commercial gutter jobs per building in Florence-Graham, priced from the footprint and height of each roofline. Our crew works tied off or from a boom or scissor lift on every job, and you get a photo report of every run when we finish.
The crew is ours and scheduled. We do this work full time, not as a side job between re-roofs, so the date you book is the date we arrive.
We service office, retail and multifamily buildings across California and book most of our commercial work for the spring and fall visits.
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 jobs per building, from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. Every gutter cleaning service quote covers the service area in Florence-Graham and the surrounding areas, so a building at the edge of town gets the same written number as one closer in.
Height is the biggest factor on our jobs. Above three stories the work needs a boom or scissor lift and fall protection, and that setup is part of the quote from the start. Gutters that have not been opened in years arrive packed with compacted debris, and a clog at a downspout elbow makes the gutter overflow and sends water down the siding, so the crew budgets time for a thorough gutter cleaning of the whole run. Gutter protection has to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared, and that labor is priced in. Oversized box gutters and industrial gutters take longer per foot. Flat roofs with roof drains and scuppers add their own clearing time, and a multi-building site is quoted building by building so you can see where the money goes.
Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and 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 property and the dates are booked a season ahead. A thorough cleaning on that schedule is what keeps the runs clear between visits.
On our Florence-Graham jobs for commercial properties, the property manager who asked for a written estimate got one per building, with the stories, roof type and number of buildings listed, so the invoice matched the quote. To get a number for your property, send us the address or a site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who the invoice goes to, and we will return the estimate in writing.
| 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 commercial properties we service are on twice a year: spring visits run mid to late June and fall visits run late November to December, both across California. Restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover go on quarterly. Our cleaning services follow the same calendar for residential and commercial work, so a portfolio with both kinds of building gets one set of dates. When you compare gutter cleaning companies, ask for the schedule in writing, because it sets the number of visits you pay for.
On the properties we clean, the spring visit pulls out the seed, pollen and grit that have settled in the downspout elbows over winter, and the fall visit clears the wet leaf mat that sits on the gutters once the trees finish dropping. A restaurant runs grease and food particles into its gutters, which is why its schedule is shorter than an office building next door. Our cleaning process starts at the top of the gutter system and works down, so debris never gets pushed back into a run that is already clear.
On a flat roof the parapets and scuppers back up without a sound. The first thing a tenant usually notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists. A leak from a backed-up scupper often shows up on the ceiling first. Where a gutter guard is fitted, it slows the buildup but does not stop it, so the guard comes off for the clean and goes back on afterward. The gutter system on a flat roof needs watching as much as it needs cleaning.
A homeowner with a single-family house often books once a year, while a commercial building with several roof sections usually follows the twice-a-year schedule above, and the crew photographs every run at each final inspection.
Whether you run a home or business, call (866) 435-6328, text a photo of the roofline, or book a date and we will set the visit.
| 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 to commercial properties across the Florence-Graham business corridors, and our crew handles multi-building sites and property portfolios as a single account. Whether you manage one building or a set of them, you get one contact for every property, and the dates are confirmed in writing. We can provide gutter cleaning on a one-off or a scheduled basis, whichever suits the building, and the gutter debris depends on the landscape around it, which is why the schedule is set building by building.
When the crew arrives, we check in with the on-site contact, and where tenant hours matter we time the work around them. We also do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners and businesses alike, so a property manager who needs a house in the same portfolio can book it on the same account, and a cleared gutter helps protect your home from water damage.
The gutter cleaning needs of a multi-site portfolio are different from a single building: scheduling, invoicing per building and a standing calendar for the whole set. We offer gutter cleaning and maintenance on that basis, and we give you the linear footage for each building on the invoice so an owner or board can check it. Routine gutter maintenance catches a blockage early, and the record for each building shows where it has happened before, across commercial and residential properties alike.
If you are choosing a gutter company for a portfolio, ask for one written scope that covers every building. Our cleaning solutions for a portfolio are clear-out, downspout flush and final inspection, each priced in the quote. Whatever gutter cleaners you compare, check that every run is on the list, not only the ones visible from the parking lot.
We quote per building, and the number depends on the linear footage, the height and the gutter type. A quote for clean gutters should show all three, and ours does, in writing, before any work is booked, so you can compare it line by line against the other quotes you collect.
The lease decides, not the rules that apply to apartments. The section above sets out who usually pays under each lease type. This is not legal advice, so read the maintenance clause of your lease or ask the attorney who drafted it.
On the restaurants and flat roofs we service, quarterly is the schedule that holds up, and the cleanings are spaced to suit how fast each roof fills. Grease and food particles clog a gutter faster than dust and leaves do, and a clogged gutter or a backed-up drain can cause roof leaks that the monthly check between visits catches before a tenant sees a stain.
Yes. Above three stories, commercial buildings need a boom or scissor lift and fall protection on every job, and that setup is built into the quote. Send us the stories and the roof type and we will confirm the setup for your building.
Yes. Tell us the access hours and site rules, and the gutter cleaning process is scheduled around them, starting with a check-in with the on-site contact so the tenants see no surprises.
Yes, we clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs along with the gutters and photograph each one, so a cracked drain or separated scupper appears in the report and the repair decision stays with you.
After a storm, the calls we take are for gutters pulled off the fascia, downspouts knocked loose and runs packed with storm debris that is still wet. Atmospheric rivers bring most of the rain in a handful of days across California, so storm call-outs are the ones that come in fastest.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice with the linear footage shown, and residential gutter cleaning for a house in the same portfolio can sit on the same account. A recurring schedule can cover the whole portfolio on one calendar. Call (866) 435-6328 or send us the list of addresses and we will set it up.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
