We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building, priced from its footprint and height, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job and a photo report when we finish. Our crew is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. We work on commercial properties across California, and property managers book us ahead of the spring and late fall seasons.
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 our commercial gutter cleaning service per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will send a written estimate.
What moves the quote is what we run into on the property. Anything above three stories needs a boom or scissor lift and the fall-protection setup that goes with it. A clog that has built up for years, with compacted debris packed into the elbows, takes longer to clear, and a thorough cleaning on that building is quoted accordingly. Gutter protection that has to be lifted off and reseated, including any gutter guard on the run, adds time, and so do oversized or box gutters. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs are part of the job, as is the number of commercial buildings on one site. A gutter that tends to overflow in a storm sends water down the siding, so those runs get checked first. 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 building and the footage is already measured.
On our Gilroy jobs, the quote follows the same questions every time: property type, stories, roof type, number of buildings and who the invoice goes to. Downspouts that discharge onto a walkway get a note in the quote, and the splash blocks are checked in the report. For a Gilroy 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. The thorough gutter cleaning is priced into that number, and we will explain every line before the truck rolls. Properties in the surrounding areas get the same written quote, and a building outside our service area is priced on its own terms. Keeping the system clear on a schedule is also the simplest way to protect your home or business from a backup.
| 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 Gilroy 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. Our cleaning services follow the same cleaning process on every schedule, and the final inspection is done before we leave the roof.
Storm season is what drives the extra calls. Across California, atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days, and in Gilroy the wettest months are January, February and December, with about 19.8 inches of rain a year overall. The managers who call us after a storm usually find the gutter system packed with grit and debris from the roof, and the post-storm inspection often turns up a pulled hanger or a seam that has come apart. What we pull out of a restaurant gutter every second month is grease and food debris mixed with leaves, which is why those buildings stay on the shorter schedule. Our gutter cleaners check the same things on every visit, and the cleaning solutions we use are matched to the debris, not a generic rinse.
On flat roofs, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently. The first sign of a leak is usually a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists, and gutter maintenance on those roofs is not a once-a-year job. A property with a flat roof and internal drains is a different job from a standard building, and we quote it that way. The schedule works the same for residential and commercial properties, and a homeowner with a flat roof gets the same treatment as a building manager with a restaurant. Whether it is a home or business, the schedule is set by what the gutters are doing, not by the date alone.
| 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 professional gutter cleaning services cover the business districts and corridors of Gilroy where we have serviced commercial properties. For a property manager with several buildings, scheduling runs through one contact: one call or email covers every building in the portfolio, and each date is confirmed in writing before the crew arrives. Our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival and times the work around tenant hours where that is asked for. We serve homeowners and businesses in Gilroy, and the commercial schedule is built around the buildings themselves.
Each residential booking in Gilroy runs on its own calendar, separate from the commercial routes. Lead time depends on the calendar and is confirmed when you book. Where a building has a residential gutter run or a landscape feature that drops debris onto the roof, we flag it in the quote so the scope is clear. Standing water after a heavy rain is often the first sign of a blockage, and left alone it turns into water damage on the fascia and soffit, so we note it in the report and the owner knows where to look. We provide gutter cleaning and maintenance on a schedule that fits the portfolio, and we will take a single building or a whole site, whichever meets your gutter cleaning needs.
We price per building. Linear footage, height and gutter type each move the number, and we put the figure in writing for that building before anyone is dispatched. You will see the basis on the estimate, not a rate card, which is how to compare one gutter company's number with another. Residential gutter cleaning is quoted the same way, by building, in writing.
The lease decides, not us, and the section above on who pays walks through the cases by lease type.
On the restaurants and flat-roof commercial buildings we service in Gilroy, quarterly gutter maintenance keeps the internal drains and scuppers clear. Grease and debris build faster on those roofs than on a standard building, and a clogged gutter or drain there can turn into a leak.
Yes. We work from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection on those jobs, and the lift is matched to the building. Height is the biggest single factor in a commercial quote, so tell us the stories when you call.
Yes. We will time the work around tenant hours where that is asked for, and the gutter cleaning process starts with a check-in with the on-site contact when we arrive. Send us the access rules with the site plan so the crew has them before the truck rolls.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the building. The strainer domes are reseated afterward, and the debris comes off the roof with the rest.
After a storm we see gutters packed with grit and debris, and sometimes a pulled hanger or a separated seam. A clogged gutter can cause roof leaks and water damage at the roof edge, so call early. We photograph anything we find and put it in the report, but we do not repair it without authorization. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will schedule the post-storm visit.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice showing the linear footage, and a recurring schedule can cover several commercial and residential properties under one contact. A scheduled property is priced lower than a one-off call. Ask any gutter cleaning companies you compare for a written estimate covering the whole portfolio, and expect the same from us.
