We quote commercial gutter and downspout service per building, priced from its 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, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. We work the spring and fall visits for property managers and facilities leads across California, and we send a written estimate before anyone is dispatched.
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 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 takes to reach the run, compacted debris on a system nobody has cleaned in years, gutter guards that have to be lifted to clear the channel, 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 and are not billed as extras. Quotes assume a thorough cleaning of every run, and a thorough gutter cleaning on a long building takes more hours than a quick clear. Gutter protection that has to come off to reach the channel is a line on the quote. 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 on file. A gutter that still overflows after the crew clears it usually points to slope, and we say so in the report rather than selling a second cleaning. Siding under a blocked run takes the overflow, so a clog left alone usually costs more than the visit. For a Newport Beach property we need the address or a site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings, and who the invoice goes to. Each gutter cleaning service call is priced from the site plan, and the figure we write for your building is the one we invoice. Our work on commercial properties in the surrounding areas follows the same method, so a clog on one roof and a clog on another are priced by the same rules. Contact us for a written estimate at (866) 435-6328 and we will send one for your service area.
| 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 Newport Beach 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 are the schedules our crew keeps for cleaning services across the city, and they follow what we pull out of the system each visit. The storm season brings the heaviest runs, and the managers who call us after a storm are usually the ones who skipped the fall visit. Leaves and pollen load the gutters on a predictable calendar, so the spring and fall dates are set a season ahead. Heavy landscape beds against the wall drop their debris into the same runs. On a flat roof the parapets and scuppers back up without a sound, and the first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists. Routine gutter maintenance between visits is a walk-around, a look at the downspouts, and a note of anything that changed. A clear run is how you protect your home or business from water damage, and a blocked run is the first thing that turns into one. Gutter cleaning companies that quote a single visit and leave the rest to the owner are where the schedule gaps start. A homeowner with one house and a property manager with twelve buildings need the same method, and the schedule is set by what the property sheds. We do not discuss price or who pays here; the quote and the lease are handled separately. Whether it is a home or business, the crew asks for the same photos before the first visit so the schedule starts from an honest baseline. Gutter guard and gutter system questions are answered on the site visit, and we do not sell them as a product.
| 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 for commercial properties across Newport Beach, and for a property manager with several sites we set up one schedule and one contact for every building in the portfolio. A date is confirmed in writing, our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival, and work is timed around tenant hours when asked. Lead time depends on the season and is confirmed when you book, so we do not promise a same-day visit. Our gutter cleaning process starts with the site plan, ends with a final inspection, and the photo report follows. The same crew handles professional gutter cleaning services for residential gutter jobs too, and we also do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners and businesses who need one stop. We provide gutter cleaning for residential and commercial buildings, and a mixed route of commercial and residential properties runs on one schedule. We ask for linear footage and building height before the visit, so the quote matches the job rather than a guess. A blockage on one roof is handled the same way as a blockage on ten. We offer gutter cleaning and maintenance across the service area and can match the visits to a site plan for each building. The quote covers the cleaning services and the report, not cleaning solutions sold off the shelf. Tell us how many buildings you have and what the gutter cleaning needs are, and we will send a written plan for the portfolio.
We can price it either way, but the number we write is per building, because the crew, the lift and the setup belong to the building. What the number depends on is linear footage, height, gutter type and how many buildings share the site. You get it in writing before we are dispatched.
The lease decides, not us. Read the maintenance clause in your lease, and see the section above on who pays for each lease type. This is not legal advice, so ask the attorney who drafted the lease if the clause is unclear.
On the restaurants and flat-roof buildings we service in Newport Beach, quarterly is what keeps the internal drains clear. Grease and grit build up faster on a restaurant run, and a flat roof backs up without warning. We check between visits so a problem is caught before it reaches a ceiling.
Yes. Above three stories we work from a boom or scissor lift matched to the roofline, tied off under fall-protection rules. The lift and setup are part of the quote, so tell us the height when you call at (866) 435-6328.
Yes. We time the work around tenant hours and check in with the on-site contact when we arrive. Send us the access rules and we will plan the visit to fit them.
We clear the gutters, downspouts, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and we report anything we find that needs repair rather than fixing it. On commercial buildings the flat-roof drains are where we look first. Text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you what the crew will cover.
After a storm we get calls from managers who find debris in the gutters or water where it should not be. A clogged gutter can cause roof leaks, and a leak that shows up after a storm usually started as a blocked run. The crew inspects the runs, clears what came down, and photographs anything that looks loose. Book a date as soon as the weather allows.
Yes. We invoice per building with the linear footage shown, and we can set up a recurring schedule across several properties under one contact. Ask for a written estimate and we will put the schedule in writing.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
