We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building, priced from each building's footprint and height, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job and a photo report when we finish. The crew doing the work is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Across California we clean office, retail and multifamily properties, and most of our commercial bookings come in before the spring and late 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 each commercial building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. Every quote covers one building and one gutter cleaning service, so the first call is the one that sets the price.
What moves the quote is what we run into on the property. Height above three stories means a boom or scissor lift and fall protection under the rules, which adds setup time. Compacted debris on a system nobody has cleaned in years takes longer to clear, and a gutter guard that has to be lifted and reseated adds time too. A clog at the outlet can back water up and overflow onto the siding below, and we check for that on every visit. Oversized or box gutters, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and the number of buildings on one site all change the scope. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras. Gutter protection is not part of the cleaning price, so if you want it, it is quoted apart. Scheduled semi-annual or quarterly service is priced lower than a one-off call, because the crew knows the property and the dates are booked ahead.
On the Indio commercial properties we service, the building that sets the quote is usually the one with the most stories and the oldest gutters. A building in the surrounding areas gets the same written quote. Across California we ask for the same things every time: the address or site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings, and who the invoice goes to. Send those and we will write the number for each 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.
On most Indio properties we service, twice a year is the right rhythm, in spring and late fall, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover on quarterly. Across California the managers who call us after a storm are usually the ones who skipped the last visit. Our cleaning services follow that rhythm for residential and commercial buildings alike, so a homeowner with one house and a manager with a plaza end up on the same kind of calendar.
What we find after storms and through the seasons shows up in the downspouts first. Leaves and grit pack the elbows, and a clogged outlet turns a light rain into standing water at the foundation, which is where water damage starts. Pollen loads the gutter system in spring, and by late fall the wet leaf mat is the main problem on most roofs. Our cleaning process starts at the downspouts, so the water has a clear way out before the gutters get touched.
Flat roofs are where the problem hides. Parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently, and the first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister. That is why the monthly check between cleanings exists on those buildings. Each visit ends with a final inspection of the drains and runs, and for a building with repeat trouble we talk through cleaning solutions, from a tighter schedule to extra drain checks. We also do residential gutter cleaning for a homeowner who wants the same crew on a house.
| 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 for commercial properties across Indio, and we run one contact for every building in a portfolio so the property manager is not chasing separate crews. Our service area covers Indio and the neighboring towns on our routes. Each date is confirmed in writing, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. Work can be timed around tenant hours where asked, and access rules are set before the first visit. To set a schedule, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will book a date.
For multi-site owners we handle gutter cleaning and maintenance as one schedule, and each building's gutter maintenance is invoiced separately so the books stay clean. We offer gutter cleaning on the same calendar as any other exterior work the owner books with us, and we size the crew to the portfolio's gutter cleaning needs. Some gutter cleaning companies quote by the foot and leave the lift off the number, so ask what the price includes. We clean commercial and residential properties on one route, so homeowners and businesses share one scheduling contact with us. Choosing a gutter company for a multi-building site comes down to who answers the phone and who shows up on the date.
We provide gutter cleaning for the full commercial footprint of a site, including the back runs and parapets that are easy to miss. Not all gutter cleaners reach those, so we check them on every building. We also clear blockage at the outlets and check the drainage path so the water leaves the building cleanly. A thorough cleaning covers all of it, and thorough gutter cleaning on a commercial site means the back runs get done too, not only the ones visible from the lot. Keeping the water moving off the roof and out of the downspouts is what helps protect your home or business, and it keeps water from pooling in the landscape beside the building.
We price it both ways and then write one number per building. The price depends on the linear footage, the height and the gutter type, so there is no single rate we can give over the phone. You get the figure in writing before anyone is dispatched.
The lease decides, not us. Read the maintenance clause in your lease, and see the lease cases above for how responsibility usually reads. This is not legal advice, so ask the attorney who drafted the lease if the clause is unclear.
On the restaurants and flat-roof buildings we service in Indio, quarterly is the schedule that keeps the drains clear. Grease and debris build up faster on those roofs, and a clogged gutter or internal drain shows up inside the building first, usually as a leak at a ceiling.
Yes. We work from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection on the taller commercial buildings, and we bring whatever lift the roofline needs. Send the stories and the roof type and we will confirm the setup in the quote.
Yes. Our gutter cleaning process starts with the hours and access rules, which we set before the first visit, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. If the building has a gate code or a sign-in process, we follow it.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the scope, along with the gutters and downspouts. A blocked scupper left alone can cause roof leaks at the parapet, so we clear it on the visit. Anything else we find, like a cracked scupper or a separated seam, gets photographed and reported, not repaired without authorization.
After a severe storm we get the calls from managers whose drains backed up or whose gutters pulled loose. Water sitting in a clogged run can find its way under the roofing, so we inspect the runs and clear the debris, then send photos of each run and downspout so you have a record of the condition.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice showing the linear footage, and we set up a recurring schedule for as many properties as the portfolio needs, so we clean gutters on a calendar the manager already knows. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the roofline and we will set the dates.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
