We quote commercial work per building in Modesto, priced from each building's footprint and height. Fall protection or a boom or scissor lift is on every job, and you get a photo report of every run when we finish. Our crew is scheduled for this work and is not a roofer's side job between re-roofs.
On the properties we service, most of the work is spring and fall, and the buildings that book us after a storm are the ones that stay on a fixed calendar.
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 gutter cleaning service per building from the linear footage, the height and the gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched.
Height is the biggest single factor on commercial work. Anything above three stories needs a boom or scissor lift under fall-protection rules, and that is set up before the crew climbs. Gutters that have not been opened in years arrive with compacted debris and a clog at the downspout, which takes longer to clear than a seasonal load. A gutter guard has to be lifted and reseated, and that gutter protection work is part of the cleaning visit. Oversized or box gutters take more time per run, and roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs are checked and cleared as part of the same visit. A run that has sat in overflow for years also stains the siding below it, and we note that in the photo report. The number of buildings on one site also changes the setup, so a multi-building property is quoted as one job with a line for each building.
Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras, so a thorough cleaning covers the whole run and not a partial pass. 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 ahead.
On a recent Modesto job, a multi-story office building with a flat roof and internal drains was quoted from its site plan. What set the price was the stories, the roof type and the number of buildings on the parcel, and what we found was a backed-up drain line that we flagged in the photo report. For a quote on your property, send us the address or a site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who the invoice should go to. Our service area in Modesto covers the business districts and surrounding areas we already work in, and we can confirm coverage on the phone the same day you ask.
| 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 Modesto properties we service are on twice a year, spring and late fall, and the restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees are on quarterly. Those cleaning services are the routine we set up with the property manager at the first visit.
On the properties we service, the spring visit clears the seed and pollen load, and the fall visit clears the leaf mat before the wet months. After the storm events that hit the valley, the post-storm inspections turn up the most blockage we see all year, which is why the storm call-out is part of the schedule. The gutter cleaning process is the same every time: we open each run, flush each downspout and check the outlet, then photograph the result.
On flat roofs, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently. The first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, often after a leak has already started, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists on those roofs. Regular gutter maintenance is what keeps those drains open between visits. Keeping the drains clear is how we protect your home or business from water getting in.
A restaurant we service in Modesto is on quarterly because of the grease and food debris that reaches its gutter system, and the photo report shows the gutter system before and after each visit. Those cleanings are booked on the schedule so the building never waits for a complaint. Our crew treats the gutter cleaners' job as a schedule the property already runs, which is why a managed calendar is the cheapest way to keep a portfolio of commercial and residential properties dry. Gutter cleaning companies that run a fixed calendar catch the blockage early, and a homeowner with one roof gets the same written quote and photo report as a property manager with several buildings. Whether it is a single office or a site with many buildings, the final inspection is the photo set we send before we leave, so you can check the work from the office. Call (866) 435-6328, text a photo of the roofline, or book a date, and we will confirm the schedule in writing.
| 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 across the business districts of Modesto where we have serviced commercial properties, and the crew is booked from the same calendar for every building on your list. A property manager gets one contact for all buildings. We are a gutter company that confirms each date in writing before the crew arrives, and we provide gutter cleaning for each building on the list under that one contact.
When the crew arrives, it checks in with the on-site contact, and work is timed around tenant hours if you ask us to. Landscape debris that falls from the trees around the building is bagged and hauled as part of the same visit, which is included in our cleaning solutions. For multi-building portfolios we handle the setup as one job, so the invoice goes to one party, with a line for each building and the linear footage shown. Call (866) 435-6328 to book a date for the first visit.
We also do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners and businesses alike, and the same crew handles both kinds of property. Our gutter cleaning and maintenance work covers the blockage that causes water damage on a roof edge, and we offer gutter cleaning on a schedule that matches the building's needs, not a generic one. Tell us your gutter cleaning needs and we will tell you the schedule that fits it. We offer thorough gutter cleaning on every visit, so the run is cleared end to end.
We price per building, and for commercial buildings the linear footage, height and gutter type set the number. The figure comes in writing for each building before we are dispatched, so you know what each building costs before the crew arrives.
The lease decides. Read the maintenance clause in your lease, and check the section above for how each lease type is usually read. This is general information, not legal advice, so ask the attorney who drafted the lease if the clause is unclear.
Quarterly is what we run on restaurants and flat roofs with internal drains, because the debris reaches the drains faster than it does on a standard building. On the properties we service, that interval keeps the drains open between the storm inspections.
Yes. We set up a boom or scissor lift for buildings above three stories, under fall-protection rules, before the crew climbs. The setup is confirmed for each building when we quote it.
Yes. We time the work around tenant hours and follow the site's access rules when you give them to us. The crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival so the schedule stays clear for everyone on the property.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the same visit, and we photograph each one. A drain that stays blocked can cause roof leaks. Anything we find that needs a repair is written into the report, and what to do about it is your decision.
After a severe storm, a clogged gutter is the blockage the post-storm call-outs turn up most often, so we schedule inspections as soon as the crew can get to the site. Those visits are where we find the blocked runs and the downspouts that need flushing.
Yes. We invoice per building with the linear footage on each line, and we set up one recurring schedule for several properties. Call (866) 435-6328, or text a photo of the roofline, and we will send a written estimate for the whole portfolio.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
