We provide gutter cleaning for commercial buildings, with professional gutter cleaning services quoted per building and priced from the footprint and height of each one. Fall protection or a boom or scissor lift goes on every job, and you get a photo report of the work afterward.
The crew doing the work is ours and scheduled ahead, not a roofer fitting gutters in between re-roofs. We service office, retail and multifamily properties across California, and we are booked most in the spring and the late fall, when the managers who call us have a season's debris to clear. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline, and we will confirm a date 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.
Our cleaning services are quoted 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 a boom or scissor lift and set it up under fall-protection rules, which adds time and equipment to the visit. Compacted debris in a gutter system that has not been cleaned in years takes longer than a light seasonal load, and gutter protection, such as a gutter guard that has to be lifted and reseated, adds time at every run. Oversized or box gutters, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and the number of buildings on one site all move the quote as well. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras, and scheduled semi-annual or quarterly service comes in lower than a one-off call. The gutter cleaning process is the same on every building, and any cleaning solutions the job needs are priced into the per-building quote, not added later.
The quote turns on three things the managers give us up front: the stories, the roof type and the number of buildings on the site. Once we have the site plan, the crew can tell us what the visit will need before a truck is loaded. To quote a Fremont property we need the address or a site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings, and the name of the party the invoice goes to. Every quote is confirmed in writing before we book the date, and the final inspection after the work is photographed run by run so the number on the invoice matches what was done. Call (866) 435-6328 with the address and we will start the written quote.
| 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 Fremont properties we service, most are on twice a year, spring and late fall, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover on quarterly service. Across California, our spring visits run mid to late June and our fall visits run late November to December, and the gutter cleaning and maintenance schedule is set around those windows.
What we pull out of a restaurant gutter every second month is grease-laden debris that a standard building never sees. The managers who call us after a storm usually have leaves and grit packed into the runs that were clear six months earlier, and that is when we find the first downspouts discharging onto walkways. The blockage we find most often sits at the downspout elbow, not in the gutter itself. Pollen and landscape debris load the gutters through the spring, and leaves through the fall, so timing the visits around those months keeps the system moving.
On a flat roof, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without any sign until water is standing on the membrane, and that is how water damage tends to start at the roof edge. The first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile, a membrane blister or a drip that looks like a leak, which is why we run a monthly check between cleanings on those buildings as part of our gutter maintenance on flat roofs. A standard two-story office on twice-yearly service and a restaurant on quarterly service will show you very different debris in the same month, and we set the schedule to match what each one collects.
| 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 service area covers the business districts and corridors of Fremont where we have already serviced commercial properties, plus the surrounding areas on the same per-building terms. We handle a multi-building portfolio as one account with one contact. Every building gets its own quote and invoice, but the scheduling runs through a single point of contact, so a property manager is not juggling a different visit for each address. We offer gutter cleaning for residential and commercial properties, each quoted on its own terms.
A date is confirmed in writing before the crew arrives. On arrival our crew checks in with the on-site contact, and 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 in advance. Tell us your gutter cleaning needs building by building: call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline, and we will put the first date in writing.
We also do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners, and that is a separate service with its own quote. A homeowner with one house gets a quote on its own terms, and a clean system is how you protect your home from water damage. For a portfolio that serves homeowners and businesses, each building is quoted on its own terms. A gutter company that cleans a clogged gutter on a small building in one visit will often miss the downspouts on a larger one, so we walk every run on every building and report each one. That keeps a small clog from growing into the kind of problem that can cause roof leaks later on.
We price per building, and the number depends on the linear footage, the height and the gutter type. The method is the same whether the property is a home or business, and when you compare gutter cleaning companies, ask the gutter cleaners how they counted the footage. Our figure comes to you in writing for each building before we book it, so you know the cost before a truck is loaded.
The lease decides, not us. Read the maintenance clause in your lease, and see the lease types section above for how the common arrangements read. This is not legal advice, so check with the attorney who drafted the lease if the clause is unclear.
On the restaurants and flat roofs we service, quarterly is what keeps the system clear. Grease and debris build up faster there, and a single clog at an internal drain can make a flat roof overflow without any sign until water is standing on the membrane.
Yes. We set up a boom or scissor lift under fall-protection rules for buildings above three stories, and the lift is matched to the building before the crew is dispatched. Where gutter protection such as a guard is fitted, the crew lifts it, clears the run, and checks the siding below the gutter line for water staining.
Yes. We time the work around tenant hours where asked and check in with the on-site contact on arrival, so the crew follows the building's access rules from the start.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the visit, along with the gutters and downspouts. A thorough gutter cleaning takes longer than a quick pass, and the thorough cleaning of each drain is photographed so you can see what was cleared.
After a severe storm, the post-storm call-outs usually turn up leaves and grit packed into runs that were clear months earlier, and sometimes a downspout pulled loose. Fremont averages 15.9 inches of rain a year, with January, February and December the wettest months, and across California atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days. We photograph each finding and report it, and call (866) 435-6328 to book the cleaning.
Yes. For commercial properties, each building gets its own invoice, and the recurring schedule runs through one contact for all of them. Text a photo of the roofline and we will confirm the schedule in writing.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
