We are the crew that does the work, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Every commercial job in Norwalk is quoted per building from the footprint and height, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every run, and a photo report goes to your inbox when we are done.
Our crew is scheduled and on the same route, so the person who quotes your building is the person on the lift. Most of our Norwalk work is for office buildings, retail strips and multifamily properties that book us in spring and late fall.
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, and we put the number in writing from a site plan or a satellite measurement before anyone is dispatched.
What moves the quote on our jobs is height. Anything above three stories needs a boom or scissor lift and the fall-protection setup that goes with it. Compacted debris on a system nobody has cleaned in years takes longer than a routine run, and any gutter guard has to be lifted and reseated before the gutter can be cleared. Oversized or box gutters, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and the number of buildings on one site all show up in the quote. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras. Scheduled semi-annual or quarterly service is priced lower than a one-off call, because we already know the building and the dates are booked ahead.
Our Norwalk experience is with commercial properties that run several buildings on one site and want one invoice per building. We need the address or site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who the invoice goes to, and we will have the written quote back before the crew is scheduled. A downspout clog or blockage is the most common reason a building overflows after a storm, and the water runs down the siding and pools in the surrounding areas around the foundation. The cleaning clears those areas along with the gutter itself. A thorough gutter cleaning starts with the gutter and ends with a flow test, so you know the gutter system will carry water the way it should. A gutter cleaning service that stops at the gutter leaves the water to find its own way, which is why we run every downspout to the ground before we leave. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will send the written quote. The service area for these quotes covers Norwalk and the neighboring towns we already work in, and a clear system is how we protect your home or business from the next storm.
| 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 Norwalk properties we service are on two visits a year, mid to late June and late November to December across California, while restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover run quarterly, so when you compare a gutter company, gutter cleaning companies or gutter cleaners, ask which interval each one quotes.
Across California, atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days, and after those storms we get call-outs from managers whose parapets have backed up and whose ceiling tiles have started to stain. The post-storm inspections almost always turn up a downspout that discharged onto a walkway. Leaves and pollen load the gutters in the months around the fall visit, and the wet leaf mat is the hardest thing we clear. The wettest months here are January, February and December, so the runs that matter most are the ones cleaned before that stretch.
On flat roofs the parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently, and a blocked scupper can cause roof leaks before anyone sees the ceiling. 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 the water first. A restaurant gutter is on quarterly service because a clogged gutter fills with grease and food debris faster than leaves do, and the cleaning services we run on those buildings are scheduled around the kitchen's hours. The gutter cleaning process on a commercial building is the same as on a house, but the cleaning solutions we use are matched to the surface, and each building gets a final inspection before we leave. Text a photo of the roofline or book a date at (866) 435-6328.
| 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 the business districts and corridors of Norwalk, and we keep one schedule for a property manager who has several buildings on the same account. One contact handles every building, the date is confirmed in writing, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact when they arrive. If the building has tenant hours or access rules, we time the work around them and plan the route so the lift moves once per site.
Our professional gutter cleaning services cover commercial buildings, and we handle residential and commercial work from the same crew and service area, because a property manager often has both. Our residential gutter cleaning is for the homeowner or business in a single-family or small multifamily building, and our commercial side covers landscape strips and parking lots under the gutter line, where water damage from an overflow shows up first. The crew is set up to provide gutter cleaning on whatever building the portfolio includes. We offer gutter cleaning and maintenance on a fixed calendar, and our scheduled gutter maintenance keeps the gutter cleaning needs of each building planned a season ahead. Call (866) 435-6328 to book a date, and tell us the number of buildings and the access rules so we can set the dates to match.
We price per building on commercial and residential properties alike, and the number depends on the linear footage, the height and the gutter type. The quote comes in writing for each building, so you can see exactly what each one costs.
The lease decides. Read the section above on who pays for the lease type you have, and if the clause is unclear, ask the attorney who drafted it. This is not legal advice.
On the restaurants and flat roofs we service, quarterly is the schedule that keeps the grease and debris from building up between visits.
Yes. We use a boom or scissor lift and the fall-protection setup on every job above three stories, and we will confirm the setup for your building when we quote it.
Yes. Tell us the hours and the rules, and we will schedule the crew around them and check in with the on-site contact on arrival.
Yes, we clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the job, and any blockage that needs repair comes back to you with a photo.
After a storm the call-outs usually turn up debris in the downspouts and standing water on the flat roofs, and we clean gutters and clear both on the same visit.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice, and a recurring schedule can cover every property on the account. Text a photo of the roofline or call (866) 435-6328 to set it up.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
