We quote commercial gutter cleaning in Long Beach per building, priced from the footprint and height of each one. Our crew is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs, and every job runs with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift, followed by a photo report. We have worked office, retail and multifamily properties across California and book most of our Long Beach work for the spring and fall visits, which run mid to late June and late November to December across California, timed around storm and leaf season. Call (866) 435-6328 to book a scheduled crew.
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 quote is the number we invoice, so we tell you what moves it before we send it. Every gutter cleaning service we sell is quoted this way, building by building.
Height is the largest factor. Above three stories the crew works from a boom or scissor lift under fall-protection rules, and that setup takes longer and costs more to stage. Compacted debris matters next: a clog that has built up for years needs more time per run and more haul-off than a gutter system cleaned twice a year. Each gutter guard has to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared, and oversized or box gutters take more time than standard profiles. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs add their own work, and the number of buildings on one site changes the setup from one building to the next.
Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building, whether it is a home or business, and are not billed as extras. Cleaning solutions are used only where a run needs them, and the report says so. Scheduled semi-annual or quarterly service is priced lower than a one-off call, because the crew already knows the property and the footage is measured.
On our Long Beach jobs the quotes that move most are multi-story office buildings with flat roofs and internal drains, where the lift and the roof drains set the price. One commercial case from our Long Beach work shows how this plays out, and you can read the full job here. For any property outside the case list, what we need to quote it is the address or a site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings, and who the invoice goes 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.
Most Long Beach properties we service are on two visits a year, mid to late June and late November to December across California, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees on quarterly. The cleaning services we run follow the same process on every site: clear the run, flush each downspout, check the drains, and photograph the result. A thorough gutter cleaning is what keeps the next storm from backing up, and we offer gutter cleaning on that process for every property type. Tell us your gutter cleaning needs and building count, and the quote follows.
What we pull out of a restaurant gutter every second month is grease-laden debris that never fully dries, and it packs the downspout elbows faster than any other property type. Across California, storm season brings most of the year's rain in a handful of heavy events, and the managers who call us after a storm usually find leaf mat and grit that washed into the lower runs. Landscape debris from the beds and trees beside the building is the usual source, and a homeowner or property manager sees the first sign as water running down the siding. The post-storm inspections turn up sagging hangers and downspouts that dumped water against the foundation, which is how water damage starts.
On flat roofs, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently. The first sign of blockage is usually a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists. A clogged gutter on a pitched roof is louder, because the water spills past the edge at the lowest point, and that overflow shows from the parking lot. A blocked drain does not announce itself until water damage is inside the building, and a monthly check is how you protect your home.
| 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 crew handles residential and commercial properties across Long Beach and the surrounding areas, and we provide gutter cleaning on each one. The gutter cleaning process is the same on a single-tenant office as it is on a multifamily complex, and our professional gutter cleaning services follow it on both. Our service area includes the business districts and corridors in Long Beach, where we have serviced commercial properties, and we schedule each one with the same care.
For a property manager with several buildings, you deal with one contact for all of them. We confirm each date in writing, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact when they arrive. Where tenant hours matter, we time the work around them. We serve homeowners and businesses with the same crew, and residential gutter cleaning runs on the same schedule. Gutter cleaning and maintenance between visits is a short call, not a new quote. Keeping clean gutters on a schedule costs less than rescuing a building after the fact. Every visit is a thorough cleaning of each run, and it ends with a final inspection of the drains before the crew leaves site.
On a site where the gutters are clear but the building still shows a leak, the cause is often the slope or a roof drain. Gutter cleaners can clear a clog, but they cannot fix a slope, and a failed drain or a bad slope can cause roof leaks even with clean gutters. We photograph what we find and report it, so you know whether the problem is the gutter company's job or the roofer's.
To book a date, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline, and we will confirm the crew in writing.
Commercial gutter cleaning is priced per building, from footage, height and the condition of the gutters, and we send the number in writing before we schedule. It is never a per-hour guess, unlike some gutter cleaning companies that bill by the hour.
On a commercial lease, the lease decides who pays for gutter cleaning, not state law. Read the maintenance clause of your lease, and see the lease cases above; this is not legal advice.
Restaurants and flat-roof buildings in Long Beach are usually on a quarterly schedule, because grease and internal drains clog faster than standard gutters. A clogged gutter on those roofs overflows sooner, and a leak through the wall usually follows. We set the interval after the first visit.
Yes, we work on buildings over three stories from a boom or scissor lift under fall-protection rules, and the crew stages the lift before any run is opened.
We work around tenant hours and on-site access rules, and we confirm the access plan with the building contact before the truck arrives.
Yes, we clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs along with the gutters, and we photograph the drains in the report.
After a severe storm, the post-storm call-outs most often turn up leaf mat and landscape debris in the lower runs, which is why we check the lower runs first. A homeowner or property manager gets the same findings in the report, with a photo of each run.
Yes, we invoice per building, whether the property is a home or business, and set up a recurring schedule for several properties on one agreement. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will put it in writing.
We do not repair, replace or install gutters, and we do not install gutter guard or other gutter protection. If a hanger has pulled or a seam is dripping, the crew photographs it and puts it in the report.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
