We quote commercial gutter work per building, from the footprint and height of each one, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job and a photo report when we leave. Our crew is ours and scheduled; we are not a roofer's side job squeezed between re-roofs. We work on office, retail and multifamily properties across California, and property managers usually book us for the spring and fall visits.
Quoted per building from footage, height and gutter type, in writing, before anyone is dispatched. Scheduled service costs less than a call-out.
We price each building as a separate gutter cleaning service, from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement before anyone is dispatched. The number on the quote is the number on the invoice.
Height is the first thing that moves a quote. Above three stories the job 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 to clear than a seasonal load, and a single clog at a downspout elbow can hold up a whole run. Where a gutter guard is fitted, it has to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the channel, and any gutter protection on the building adds the same step. Oversized or box gutters take more time per run, and gutter runs that meet siding need extra care around the finish. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs add their own step, and the number of buildings on one site changes how the day is planned.
The crew does a thorough cleaning on every run, and 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 the crew already knows the property and the footage is measured. Keeping the system clear is how you protect your home or building between visits.
On properties we have cleaned across California, the quote that surprised a manager most was a two-building site where one roof had its scuppers blocked and the drains had not been opened in years. We wrote the quote from the site plan, photographed the blocked scuppers before any work, and the manager had the report the same day. Send us the address or site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings, and who the invoice goes to, and we will write a quote for a thorough gutter cleaning on your property, with every building in the surrounding areas you manage priced the same way. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will get back to you with 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.
On the residential and commercial properties we service in San Bernardino, most of our cleaning services run twice a year, in spring and late fall. Across California, spring visits usually land in mid to late June and fall visits in late November to December. Restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover are on quarterly.
Spring is when the seed and pollen load packs the downspout elbows. Late fall is when wet leaves mat across the gutters before the rain starts. Across California, atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days, and the post-storm inspections often turn up separated hangers and debris dams that were not visible from the ground.
On a flat roof the parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without any warning. The first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists. Our crew does the check and photographs the drains for the file, and the manager sees the result before anything is wrong inside the building. Where a drain is already backed up, the crew photographs it and lists the cleaning solutions it needs for the next visit.
Every property gets a final inspection before we leave, with the photo report sent the same day. That report is what tells you the gutter system is running clear and where the next visit should go, so the maintenance calendar matches what the building actually needs. Whether it is a single office, a homeowner's duplex or a portfolio of home or business sites, the schedule is set the same way, one property at a time. If you are comparing gutter cleaning companies, ask each one how it would handle the drains and what it would put in the report, and ask the gutter cleaners you talk to the same question so the bids are comparable. Call (866) 435-6328 to set the spring or fall visit for your properties, or text a photo of the roof and we will confirm the calendar 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 cover commercial properties across San Bernardino and work with property managers who have several buildings on one site. We provide gutter cleaning on office parks, retail strips, multifamily complexes and light industrial sites. Sites with a landscape bed along the eave tend to send more mulch and needles into the gutters, so we check those runs first. We offer gutter cleaning and maintenance on a set calendar so the work does not depend on who remembers to call.
For a multi-building site you get one contact for all of the buildings. We confirm the date in writing, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact when they arrive. If tenant hours matter, we time the work around them, and if a loading dock or a parking area has to stay open, we plan the staging with that in mind. Any blockage we find on the walk-around goes into the report with a photo, and a blockage left to back up toward overflow can lead to water damage inside a building. Lead time depends on the season and the size of the portfolio, so tell us your gutter cleaning needs when you call and we will confirm the date when we quote rather than promising one in advance.
The professional gutter cleaning services we run on commercial sites follow the same process as our residential work, scaled to the property. We also serve homeowners and businesses across the service area with residential gutter cleaning, and that work is quoted on the same terms. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the site plan and we will confirm the crew and the date in writing.
We price it per building, and the way the number is reached depends on the linear footage, the height of the roofline and the type of gutter on that building. The gutter cleaning process starts with a site plan or satellite measurement, and the quote for each building comes out of that measurement, so you know the number before we start.
The lease decides, not us. Read the maintenance clause in your lease, or ask the attorney who drafted it, and the answer is in the section above. We write the invoice to whichever party the lease names, and this is not legal advice.
On the restaurant and flat-roof properties we service, quarterly is what keeps the drains clear. Grease and debris build up faster on those roofs, and a clogged gutter or drain can cause roof leaks before anyone sees the stain. The first symptom a tenant usually notices is a stained ceiling tile, and by then the leak has already started.
Yes. On commercial buildings above three stories, we work from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection in place, and the setup is planned from the site plan before the day. Tell us the height when you request the quote.
Yes. We schedule the work around tenant hours where you ask us to, and we follow the site access rules you give us. Send them with the quote request so the crew arrives ready.
We clear roof drains and scuppers as well as gutters on flat roofs. The cleaning process for roof drains follows the same steps as the gutters: clear, check, photograph. The strainer domes get reseated after clearing, and any cracked scupper gets photographed and reported instead of repaired.
Across California, atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days, and after a severe storm the post-storm call-outs most often turn up separated hangers, debris dams and downspouts that have pulled loose. We photograph each one and report it, and we clear what is blocking the gutter. Regular gutter maintenance between storms catches many separated hangers before the next rain does, and a set calendar is the simplest way to clean gutters before a storm arrives. Call (866) 435-6328 after the storm and we will schedule the crew.
Yes. As a gutter company that works on commercial and residential properties, we invoice per building with the linear footage shown, and we set up a recurring schedule across several properties under one account. Call (866) 435-6328 or ask for a written estimate and we will set the calendar for your portfolio.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
