We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building, priced from each building's footprint and height. Fall protection or a boom or scissor lift is set up on every job, and you get a photo report of every run when we finish.
We are the crew that does the work, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Our crews are scheduled and dispatched by us, so the person on the ladder is the person you talked to. Spring and late fall are when most property managers book us, and the work is planned around your site, not ours.
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 cleaning per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. A gutter cleaning service quote should tell you exactly what is covered, and ours does.
Height is the biggest factor on our Lincoln jobs. Above three stories we bring the boom or scissor lift the roofline needs, because fall protection rules leave no other safe option. Compacted debris on a system not cleaned in years takes longer than a light seasonal load, and gutter protection that has to be lifted and reseated adds time. Gutters mounted behind siding, oversized or box gutters, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and the number of buildings on one site all move the number up or down. A clog that has already caused an overflow onto a walkway or a parking surface is also priced in, because we have to clear the full run and check the slope.
Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are never billed as extras. Every quote covers a thorough gutter cleaning of each run. Scheduled semi-annual or quarterly gutter maintenance is priced lower than a one-off call, because the crew already knows the property. We will not quote a figure you cannot check, so every number comes with its linear footage shown.
On a recent Lincoln office building with a flat roof and internal drains, the quote came down to roof type, three stories, two buildings on one site and a list of what we found in the scuppers, and it was written per building as a result. Ask us for the same breakdown on your property: send the address or a site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, how many buildings sit on the site and who the invoice should go to.
| 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 residential and commercial properties alike, most of the Lincoln sites we service are on twice a year, spring and late fall. Restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees are on a quarterly schedule. Our crew works through the same gutter cleaning process on every visit, so a restaurant and an office get the same flush and the same photos, just on a different calendar.
What we pull out of a restaurant gutter every second month is grease, food residue and the fine grit that rides in on the wind, and it packs the downspout elbows faster than any other building type we see. A gutter guard slows the leaves down, but the fine grit still gets through. Grease on a restaurant run needs more than a rinse, so the crew brings cleaning solutions suited to it. The managers who call us after a storm usually have a gutter system that was already full, and the storm just pushed it over the edge. Our post-storm inspections turn up the same few things each time: leaf mats behind the fascia, separated hangers and downspouts that were never flushed.
On flat roofs the parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without a sound. The first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister. Between cleanings, a monthly check of the drains catches a clog before it reaches the ceiling. Each visit is a thorough cleaning. Our final inspection covers the drains and scuppers as well as the gutter runs, and the report lists anything we found.
On a flat-roof building in Lincoln the drains had been backing up quietly for a full season before the tenant saw the ceiling stain. Quarterly service caught the next backup before it reached the tenant space.
| 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 work across Lincoln's business districts and corridors for commercial properties, and we handle the multi-building portfolio as a single job. Our service area covers Lincoln and the surrounding areas. A property manager gets one contact for every building on the list, a date confirmed in writing, and a crew that checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. Work can be timed around tenant hours where that is asked for.
We provide gutter cleaning for residential and commercial properties, so one crew covers both. We also provide professional gutter cleaning services for residential gutter cleaning needs, and we offer gutter cleaning and maintenance on the same schedule for a homeowner or a business who wants both on one account. For property managers with a mixed portfolio of commercial and residential properties, one invoice per building keeps the books clean. Whether it is a home or business on the list, it is cleaned with the same crew and the same photo report.
Lead time depends on the season and the size of the portfolio, and we confirm it in writing before we are scheduled. Our crew is set up to cover the blockage on a flat roof, the overflow at the parapet and the landscape runoff at ground level in the same visit. Clearing all three helps protect your home and the space below it. Where there is water damage already visible, the photos go into the report so you have a record before anything else happens. Call (866) 435-6328, text a photo of the roofline, or book a date and we confirm it in writing.
Gutter cleaning companies price it several ways, so we quote per building. The number depends on linear footage, height, gutter type and what is in the gutters, and you can ask any gutter cleaners you compare with for the same line items. You get our figure in writing before we dispatch anyone.
The lease decides. Check the maintenance clause in your lease, and see the section above for how that plays out by lease type. This is not legal advice, so ask the attorney who drafted it if the clause is unclear.
On the Lincoln restaurants and flat-roof buildings we service, quarterly is the schedule that keeps the drains clear. A clogged gutter on a flat roof can leak into the tenant space before anyone sees it, so we check between visits.
Yes. Commercial buildings over three stories get a boom or scissor lift and fall protection, and the setup is part of the quote. Send the stories and roofline details and we will confirm the setup in writing.
Yes. Tell us the hours and the access rules when you book, and we schedule the crew around them and check in with the on-site contact on arrival.
We clear both. Roof drains and scuppers are part of the flat-roof visit, and the report lists what we found, including anything that could cause roof leaks.
After a storm we see leaf mats, separated hangers and downspouts that were never flushed, and those turn into the post-storm call-outs. Text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you what the crew would find.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice, and a recurring schedule can cover several properties under one contact. A good gutter company puts the dates in writing, and we do too. Call (866) 435-6328 for a written estimate and we will set the dates.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
