We quote each commercial building in San Leandro on its own, priced from the footprint and height. Fall protection or a boom or scissor lift goes on every job, and you get a photo report of every run when we finish. We are the crew that does the work, scheduled on our own calendar, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Our San Leandro work covers office, retail and multifamily buildings, and most of those properties book in the spring and the late fall, before the rain and after the leaves drop.
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 building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement before anyone is dispatched. A building that is two stories with standard gutters and a walkable roof is a short quote. Height is the first thing that changes it: above three stories the job runs from a boom or scissor lift, and the lift and its setup are part of the number. The second is debris. A system that has not been cleaned in years packs down and starts to overflow at the low joints, and a clog of grit and seed mat takes longer to clear and haul than a yearly run. A gutter guard or other gutter protection that has to be lifted and reseated, oversized or box gutters, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and the number of buildings on one site all move the figure. Siding that sits close to the gutter line also adds setup time, because the crew has to protect it from the ladder or lift. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras, and scheduled semi-annual or quarterly service is priced lower than a one-off call. Each building gets a thorough cleaning, and thorough gutter cleaning is what the per-building price pays for, which is what helps protect your home from water damage.
On our San Leandro jobs the quote usually turns on the same few facts we ask for first: the address or site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who the invoice goes to. For a property we have not serviced before, that is what we need to put a number in writing. Our gutter cleaning service is quoted per building, and our commercial work here has been on properties where the building manager wanted one invoice per building and a record of what was found, not a single lump sum for the site. We set the quote so the invoice matches it, and the final inspection checks each run before the crew leaves. The photos show what we cleaned. Call (866) 435-6328 for a written quote, or text a photo of the building and we will tell you what to expect.
| 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 Leandro properties we service are on two cleanings a year, in the spring and again in late fall. A homeowner with one house usually lands on the same calendar. Restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover are on a quarterly schedule. On the properties we clean, the storm season in this part of California is the reason the late-fall visit matters: the rain that comes in the winter months washes the grit down into the downspouts, and the managers who call us after a storm are usually calling about a run that backed up in the first heavy rain. What we pull out of a restaurant gutter every second month is grease, seed and food debris that does not wash out on its own. Cleaning solutions poured into a downspout do not move that kind of build-up, which is why it has to be cleared by hand, and the cleaning services we run there are timed to that.
On a flat roof the parapets and internal drains back up without any sound, and the first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister. Water damage on those roofs usually starts at a blockage in an internal drain, which is why the monthly check is part of the gutter maintenance on those properties: we look at the drains and scuppers, photograph them, and report what we find before it reaches the ceiling. Our cleaning process on those roofs includes the strainer domes, which get reseated at the end of each visit. On a property with a gutter system this large, the schedule is set for each building, so the invoice and the visit line up. A home or business with a flat roof gets the same schedule logic.
| 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.
Our service area is San Leandro and the surrounding areas, and we run professional gutter cleaning services for commercial properties there, including the business districts and corridors where our crews have already serviced buildings. For a property manager with several buildings, the arrangement is simple: one contact for every building, one date confirmed in writing, and a crew that checks in with the on-site contact when it arrives. Where the tenants need quiet hours, we time the work around them. We also provide gutter cleaning for industrial and warehouse sites, and we offer gutter cleaning and maintenance on a schedule for portfolios that run across more than one site. How much leaf load a site carries depends on the landscape around it, so a building under heavy tree cover gets a closer look at the quote. Lead time depends on the calendar, so we confirm the date in writing rather than promising one. Call (866) 435-6328 with your gutter cleaning needs and we will set the next step from there.
We also do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners and businesses in San Leandro, on the same crew and the same photo report. Our crews handle residential and commercial jobs alike, and we serve commercial and residential properties, including multifamily buildings and HOA common areas. A home or business gets its own quote and invoice, separate from the commercial sites.
We price per building, and the number comes from linear footage, height, gutter type and the number of buildings on the site. Some gutter cleaning companies and gutter cleaners quote per linear foot, and we work out that figure internally, but what you see on the invoice is one line per building. The quote is in writing before anyone is dispatched.
The lease decides it, not us, so check the maintenance clause in yours; the section above on who pays lists the three common lease types. We see the invoices come out both ways, and we send the bill to whoever the lease names. This is not legal advice, so ask the attorney who drafted the lease if the clause is unclear.
On the restaurant and flat-roof commercial buildings we service, quarterly is the schedule that holds. Grease and seed in a restaurant gutter, and the internal drains on a flat roof, build up faster than a twice-a-year visit can keep up with. Between the quarterly visits, the monthly check is what catches a backed-up drain before the ceiling shows it, and it keeps clean gutters flowing between visits.
Yes. Above three stories we work from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection on the crew, and the lift is part of the quote. Send us the stories and the roof type and we will tell you what setup the building needs before we schedule it.
Yes. We schedule around tenant hours where the property asks for it, and we check in with the on-site contact when the crew arrives. If the building has access rules, send them with the site plan and we will confirm the crew's entry and parking in writing.
Both. On a flat roof the roof drains and scuppers are part of the gutter cleaning process, cleared of debris with the strainer domes reseated. Anything we find that needs repair is photographed and reported, not repaired, so you decide what happens next.
After a heavy storm the calls we take are mostly about runs that backed up in the first rain, and the cleanup usually turns up grit and seed packed into the downspouts. A clogged gutter that backs up in a storm can cause roof leaks, and a leak near the fascia is often the first sign. We clear those runs, flush the downspouts and report anything the storm loosened, like a pulled hanger or a separated seam. Post-storm work is scheduled on the same written quote as a regular visit.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice, and a recurring schedule can cover several properties under one contact. As a gutter company, we keep the schedule and the invoice lined up, so a board or an owner can check each building's visit against its bill. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will set up the calendar.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
