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. Our crew is ours and scheduled year-round, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Across California we book commercial properties in spring and late fall, and we ask for the same address and stories information on every quote so the number you get is the number you pay.
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. What moves the number on our jobs is height above three stories and the boom or scissor lift it requires under fall-protection rules, compacted debris on a system nobody has cleaned in years, a gutter guard that has to be lifted and reseated, oversized or box gutters, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and how many buildings sit on one site. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building, along with the cleaning solutions the roof material calls for, and are not billed as extras. Scheduled semi-annual or quarterly service is priced lower than a one-off call, because the crew already knows the building and the footage is already measured.
Whether it is a home or business, gutter cleaning service starts with the same three questions every time: how many stories, what roof type, and who the invoice goes to. Clog problems are the ones that surprise managers most, since a run that looks clear from the parking lot can be packed solid at the elbow. Siding below a blocked run is the first thing to show water staining, and that is what we photograph before we leave. We quote residential and commercial runs as separate jobs, so a site with a residential gutter on one wing and commercial runs on the other is quoted as two jobs, one per building class.
For a commercial building we need the address or site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and the billing contact. Our experience in Murrieta is with office, retail and multifamily sites, and we quote those from supplied cases only, with no client named here. Before we leave, the final inspection walks every run and downspout with the on-site contact so nothing is left open. Gutter cleaners on other crews often skip the flat-roof drains, which is the gap to check when you compare gutter cleaning companies. We do not skip them, and the quote lists every one.
| 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 Murrieta properties we service are on twice a year, spring and late fall, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover on quarterly. That is what we see after the storm season and the leaf drop, not a generic guideline. Our cleaning services schedule follows what we pull out of each gutter, and it runs as one gutter cleaning and maintenance plan per site. The cleaning process is the same on every visit: clear, flush, flow-test, photograph, which makes it a thorough gutter cleaning rather than a quick pass.
On flat roofs, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without any sound, and an overflow at the parapet edge can run for weeks before anyone sees it. The first sign of a leak is usually a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, so the monthly check between cleanings is there to catch it early. A restaurant gutter gets grease and food grit that a standard run never sees, which is why it moves to a quarterly schedule.
We provide gutter cleaning for homeowners and businesses alike. A homeowner with one building follows the same logic, with the interval set by the trees and the roof. The landscape around the building matters as much as the roof, so our gutter cleaning needs assessment covers the roof type, the drains and the trees before we put a date on the calendar. Storm season brings blockage that a fall visit alone will not catch, and a run that backs up in the rain is how water damage reaches the fascia and the wall below, so we offer gutter cleaning outside the usual visits and schedule post-storm call-outs as needed. Call (866) 435-6328 to set the first date, or book a date online.
| 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 run professional gutter cleaning services for commercial properties across the Murrieta business corridors where we have serviced buildings, and the crew assigned to your site is the same crew that knows its roofline. A property manager with several buildings gets one contact for all of them, and each building is quoted and invoiced on its own line. The date is confirmed in writing, the crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival, and work is timed around tenant hours when that is asked for.
Our crew handles residential gutter work too, so the same company that cleans a restaurant's flat-roof drains can handle a neighboring residential gutter cleaning job without a second quote process. For a portfolio that mixes commercial and residential properties, the scheduling runs through one calendar. A gutter cleaning process that leaves a run half clear is how a gutter company loses a repeat client, so we do not close a site until every run is confirmed flowing.
Gutter maintenance between visits is what keeps a building's gutter system from becoming a clogged gutter by the next season, and it is the difference between a quick annual cleaning and a repair bill. A blocked run that is left alone can cause roof leaks, and a single missed downspout can cause roof leaks along the wall below. We clean gutters on a schedule so that does not happen, and to set the first date call (866) 435-6328 or book a date online.
We quote per building and show the linear footage on the invoice, so you can check it. What the number depends on is height, gutter type, roof type and how much debris is packed in, and we give you the figure in writing before we book.
The lease decides, and the section above on who pays walks through the three common lease types. We write the invoice to whoever the lease names. This is not legal advice, so read the maintenance clause or ask the attorney who drafted it.
On the restaurant and flat-roof sites we service, quarterly is what keeps the drains clear, because grease and grit build up faster than leaves do. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will set the first date.
Yes. We work from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection set up for the building, and the height is confirmed on the site plan before the crew is scheduled. Gutter protection already on the roof is lifted and reseated for the clean, and the quote notes it.
Yes. Tell us the hours and the access rules and we build the schedule around them, with the on-site contact confirmed in writing.
Both. Roof drains and scuppers get a thorough cleaning, cleared of debris with their strainer domes reseated, and that is included in the quote for the building.
The post-storm call-outs most often turn up blocked downspouts, pulled hangers and standing water behind the fascia. We photograph each one and report it, and send a text a photo of the roofline if you want a second look before we arrive.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice and one recurring schedule covers the portfolio. Ask about your service area when you call, and if your site sits in surrounding areas outside the city limits, we confirm the date in writing before booking. Ask for a written estimate and we will put the whole portfolio in one place. We also do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners, which is handled separately, and a clean run is how you protect your home from the same water damage.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
