We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning in San Diego per building, priced from each building's footprint and height. Fall protection or a boom or scissor lift goes on every job, and you get a photo report once we finish. Our crew is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. We work across California on office, retail and multifamily properties, and most San Diego sites book in the spring and fall.
Quoted per building from footage, height and gutter type, in writing, before anyone is dispatched. Scheduled service costs less than a call-out.
Every gutter cleaning service we quote is priced per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will return a written estimate.
Height is the biggest factor on our jobs. Above three stories we bring a boom or scissor lift, and that setup changes the crew size and the time on site. A clog in a gutter that hasn't been cleaned in years takes longer to clear than a maintained run. A gutter guard or other gutter protection that has to be lifted and reseated moves the quote, and so do oversized or box gutters, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and the number of buildings on one site. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building, so a thorough gutter cleaning never shows up as an extra line. Scheduled semi-annual or quarterly service is priced lower than a one-off call, because the crew already knows the property and a thorough cleaning goes faster on a return visit.
Our experience with commercial properties in San Diego shows the same pattern. A three-building office site on a schedule costs less per visit than the same site cleaned once after a storm, because the crew arrives knowing the access and the drain layout. To quote a property we need the address or site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who the invoice goes to. A leak at the eave, or water damage on the fascia and siding below it, usually traces back to the same neglected run, so we check every outlet while we are up there and report what we find.
| 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 San Diego properties we service are on twice a year, spring and late fall, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees on a quarterly schedule. Across California, spring visits land in mid to late June and fall visits in late November to December. San Diego gets 9.8 inches of rain a year, with January, February and December the wettest months. Across California, atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days. Storm season brings call-outs for overflow and debris, and our post-storm inspections turn up the same blocked outlets each time. Call (866) 435-6328 or book a date and we will put the next visit on the calendar.
On a flat roof the parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently. The first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists. Restaurant gutters pull grease and grit that a standard run never sees, so the cleaning process on those buildings runs more often. A homeowner whose gutter system dumps water onto siding or a walkway sees the problem from the ground first. The crew chooses cleaning solutions to suit each gutter system and the debris in it. Every job ends with a final inspection, and the crew logs each visit so the next one starts from the last one's photos.
| 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 gutter cleaning to commercial properties across San Diego, including office buildings, retail strips and multifamily sites. Our service area reaches the surrounding areas, and the crew handles residential and commercial work on the same route. For a property manager with several buildings, we run one contact for every building, confirm each date in writing, and check in with the on-site contact when the crew arrives. Work can be timed around tenant hours where that is asked for. Leaves and landscape debris that block a downspout get cleared on the same visit. We also do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners and businesses, and clearing the gutters helps protect your home. A mix of commercial and residential properties can sit on one calendar.
Our professional gutter cleaning services cover maintenance across multiple sites, and we offer gutter cleaning and maintenance on one invoice per building so a board or owner can check the work. Whether it is a home or business, the photo report and the invoice come per building. Owners comparing gutter cleaning companies can check gutter maintenance costs line by line. The crew handles blockage at roof level, clears downspouts and reports water damage or a failing gutter system without repairing it. Call (866) 435-6328 to set up a schedule that fits your portfolio. Tell us your gutter cleaning needs, and ask any gutter company or gutter cleaners you are comparing what each invoice shows per building.
We price per building, and the number comes in writing. What each way of pricing depends on is the footage, the stories and the gutter type. Ask us for the per-building figure and we will show you how it breaks down.
The lease decides, not us. Read the maintenance clause in your lease, and see the lease-type breakdown above for how responsibility usually reads. This is not legal advice. We write the invoice to whichever party the lease names.
On the restaurants and flat-roof commercial buildings we service, quarterly is the schedule that holds. Grease and grit build up faster than leaves, and a clogged gutter or internal drain fails without warning. The monthly check between cleanings catches a problem before it can cause roof leaks.
Yes. We work from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection on any building above three stories. The lift is matched to the building, and we bring whatever setup the roofline needs.
Yes. Tell us the hours and the access rules when you book, and the gutter cleaning process runs to them. We check in with the on-site contact on arrival so nobody is surprised by a truck in the loading zone.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, along with the gutters and downspouts. Anything else we find is photographed and reported in the job file, not repaired without authorization.
Our post-storm call-outs most often turn up blocked outlets, pulled hangers and standing water that points to a slope problem. We photograph each one, and any water damage inside gets listed in the report. Call (866) 435-6328 after a storm and we will schedule the crew.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice with the linear footage shown, and a recurring schedule keeps every property on one calendar. Text a photo of the roofline or ask for a written estimate to get started, and we will set up a gutter maintenance plan for the portfolio.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
