We quote commercial gutter cleaning per building in Hawthorne, priced from the footprint and height of each property, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job and a photo report when we finish. The crew is ours and scheduled around your building, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Across California we work on office, retail and multifamily properties, and spring and late fall are when most managers book us. To set a date, call (866) 435-6328 or book a date online, and we confirm it 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 gutter cleaning service is quoted per building, from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. The same method covers residential and commercial jobs, so a homeowner with one building and a property manager with twelve both get a number they can check.
Height is the first thing that moves the number. Above three stories the job runs from a boom or scissor lift, and the setup under fall-protection rules adds time. Compacted debris or a clog in a gutter system nobody has cleaned in years takes longer to clear than a run that is kept up. A gutter guard has to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the channel, and oversized or box gutters carry more debris per foot. Where an overflowing run has stained the siding below it, the crew photographs the marks and notes them in the report. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs are their own line, and the number of buildings on one site changes how we schedule the crew.
Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras. Any cleaning solutions for staining are a separate line on the quote, approved in writing first. Before the crew leaves, a final inspection walks each run once more. 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 measured. When you compare gutter cleaning companies, look for a quote that lists linear footage and height, whether the property is a home or business. Gutter cleaners who skip those numbers are guessing, and a guess is how a one-off bid turns into a change order.
Our experience with Hawthorne properties is limited to the buildings we have on file. For a Hawthorne property we need the address or site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who the invoice goes to, and we will return a written quote built from those.
| 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.
Across California, most of the properties we service 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 spring visits land in mid to late June and our fall visits in late November to December, and each building's schedule is set from there. Both homeowners and businesses get the same logic: twice a year for a standard roof, quarterly where debris comes faster.
Across California, atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days, and that is when a blockage turns into water damage. Hawthorne averages 11.8 inches of rain a year, and January, February and December are the wettest months. The managers who call us after a storm are usually finding debris packed into the same runs that were cleared months earlier, and a clogged gutter is the usual reason. Leaves and pollen from nearby landscape load the gutters on a predictable schedule, which is why we set the calendar around the season and not the calendar year.
On flat roofs, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently, and a blocked drain can cause roof leaks long before anyone sees water in the gutter. The first sign of a leak is usually a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, which is why the monthly check between cleanings is part of our gutter maintenance on flat-roof buildings.
We provide gutter cleaning for homes and businesses on a set calendar, and the gutter cleaning needs of a restaurant are different enough to set their own schedule. Professional gutter cleaning services follow the same cleaning process on every building, and our gutter cleaning process is measure, clear, flush, inspect, photograph. Our cleaning services are built around that routine, whether the property is a two-story house or a flat-roof site, and the gutter cleaning and maintenance visit is quoted the same way.
| 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 do professional gutter cleaning for commercial and residential properties, and on Hawthorne sites we run the whole job through one point of contact. Call (866) 435-6328 or book a date, and we confirm it in writing before the crew arrives. The crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. Where a property asks for work timed around tenant hours, we schedule to those hours and say so in the confirmation.
Our service area in Hawthorne is built from the business corridors where we have serviced properties, and it reaches into the surrounding areas when a portfolio needs it. For a portfolio that spans several buildings, we act as one gutter company on the schedule, with one invoice per building and one photo report, so a facilities lead is not chasing three separate vendors. Gutter protection is a separate job we quote on its own, not part of the cleaning. Gutter cleaning and maintenance for each building is booked through that same contact.
Lead time depends on the season and the site, and we confirm it when we quote. Tell us your gutter cleaning needs for each building when you call, and the quote comes back in writing. We offer gutter cleaning to homeowners as well as property managers, and our cleaning services for a house help protect your home from overflow at the eaves. Ask us to clean gutters on a set schedule and the crew comes back on the same calendar, so nobody has to remember the date. We do not hold a slot open on a verbal promise.
We quote it per building. What the number depends on is the linear footage, the height, the gutter type and the number of drains or scuppers, and a thorough cleaning is quoted on that same footage. The figure comes to you in writing for each building.
Your lease decides, and the section above lays out how the common lease types read. This is not legal advice, so check the maintenance clause of your lease or ask the attorney who drafted it.
On the flat-roof and restaurant properties we service we run quarterly, because grease, debris and internal drains back up faster than a standard run, and a clogged gutter on those roofs can start a leak.
Yes. We run a boom or scissor lift on those jobs and set up fall protection before the crew goes up.
Yes. Tell us the hours and any access rules when you book, and we confirm them in writing before the crew arrives.
Both. Roof drains and scuppers on commercial properties with flat roofs are cleared as part of the per-building scope, and any blockage we find beyond that is photographed and reported.
Post-storm call-outs usually turn up debris packed into runs that were clear months earlier, and we report what we find with photos. That applies across our service area, including the surrounding areas. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will get a crew on the schedule.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice, and a recurring schedule is set once for the whole portfolio, inside the service area we confirm when we quote.
Yes. Every residential gutter we clean gets the same run-by-run check as a commercial roofline, for homeowners and businesses alike, and a home with a thorough gutter cleaning is less likely to show water damage at the eaves.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
