We quote commercial gutter cleaning per building, from the footprint and height of each property, and nothing goes on a schedule until the number is in writing. Our crew does the work with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job, and you get a photo report of every run and downspout when we finish. We are a scheduled crew, not a roofer fitting gutters between re-roofs, so the same people come back to your buildings each spring and fall. Call (866) 435-6328 or send us your roofline photos to start a quote.
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 quotes each building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. Some gutter cleaners quote by the foot alone, and we scope each building separately. What moves the number on our jobs is height above three stories, which means a boom or scissor lift and the fall-protection setup that goes with it. A blockage of compacted debris on a system that has not been cleaned in years takes longer than a light seasonal load, and a gutter guard or other gutter protection has to be lifted and reseated before the gutter underneath can be cleared. Oversized or box gutters take more time per linear foot, and roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs add a separate pass. The number of buildings on one site also matters, because a multi-building property is quoted as one visit with each building scoped separately. A thorough cleaning includes downspout flushing and debris haul-off per building, and neither is billed as an extra. Scheduled semi-annual or quarterly service is priced lower than a one-off call, because the crew already knows the building and the dates are booked a season ahead. On a flat roof, a clog at the roof drain can be spotted from the roof plan before anyone is dispatched. The information that makes a quote fastest is an address or site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and the name of who the invoice goes to. Send us those and we will return a written quote per building. Call (866) 435-6328 or ask for a written estimate.
| 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 of the Los Angeles properties we service are on twice a year, spring and late fall, while restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover or landscape debris run on a quarterly schedule. What we pull out of a restaurant gutter every second month is grease-laden debris and food residue, which is why that schedule is tighter than an office. On the Los Angeles commercial properties we work on, the storm season is when the managers call us, and the post-storm inspection usually turns up debris that washed into the drains during the heavy rain days. On a flat roof, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently, and the first sign of a leak is usually a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister that a tenant reports. That is why the monthly check between cleanings exists, so we catch a slow drain before it can cause roof leaks and water damage. Our crews use the same gutter cleaning process on every building, whether it is a two-story office or a multi-building site, and the schedule is set once the first visit shows us what the gutter system actually holds. Restaurants on quarterly service are the most common case we see in this category, and the schedule is built around the kitchen exhaust and grease load rather than the calendar alone. Our cleaning services for these properties, with cleaning solutions matched to the grease load, are priced to the schedule, and we confirm the next visit in writing before we leave.
| 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 Los Angeles and the surrounding areas for residential and commercial properties, and we handle multi-building portfolios with one point of contact for every building in the portfolio. A property manager sends the list of buildings, their addresses and the gutter cleaning needs for each, and we confirm a date for each in writing before the crew is dispatched. Our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival, and where tenant hours matter we time the work around them. Scheduling is confirmed by email with the crew name and the arrival window. Our professional gutter cleaning services for a portfolio come as a single contract with one invoice per building, so the accounts payable side stays clean. We also provide thorough gutter cleaning for single-site buildings, and we offer gutter cleaning and maintenance on a recurring schedule for owners who want the same crew each season. A homeowner can book residential gutter cleaning with the same crew to protect your home. We serve homeowners and businesses, but the commercial work is the bulk of what we schedule here. Our service area covers the business corridors where we have done commercial work, and we will confirm lead time for your site when you send the address. Whether it is a home or business, call (866) 435-6328, text a photo of the roofline, or book a date and we will confirm it in writing.
We quote per building, not per foot the way many gutter cleaning companies do, and the number depends on linear footage, height, gutter type and what is in the system. The same written format applies to commercial and residential properties, and we will show you what each part of it covers before you approve it.
The lease decides, not the crew. The lease type (triple net, gross or silent) sets who is responsible, and the section above on who pays lays out the three common cases. We put the invoice to whoever the lease names. This is general information, not legal advice, so read the maintenance clause of your lease or ask the attorney who drafted it.
On the restaurants and flat-roof buildings we service in Los Angeles, quarterly is the schedule that keeps the drains clear. Grease and roof debris build up faster than on an office, and a clogged gutter or internal drain shows up as a ceiling stain before it shows up as an overflow.
Yes. We work from a boom or scissor lift on taller commercial buildings, with fall protection on every job. Tell us the height and the roof type when you ask for a quote so we can confirm the lift setup.
Yes. We time the work around tenant hours where asked, and we check in with the on-site contact when the crew arrives. Send us the access rules for the property and we will follow them.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the scope, and we report anything we find that needs repair rather than fixing it ourselves. The drain clearing is quoted per building with the gutters.
Storm call-outs usually turn up debris that washed into the drains during the heavy rain days, and occasionally a downspout or a panel of siding that has pulled loose. We photograph everything in a final inspection and send the report to the property manager the same day, so the next step is clear.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice, and a recurring gutter maintenance schedule is set up once for the whole portfolio. Ask our gutter company for a written estimate and we will set the dates a season ahead.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
