We quote commercial gutter service in San Rafael per building, from its footprint and height, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job. The crew doing the work is our own and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Across California we clean gutters, downspouts and roof drains on office, retail and multifamily buildings, and we book them on 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 quote commercial gutter service per 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 quote is what we run into on the property: a building above three stories that needs a boom or scissor lift under fall-protection rules, compacted debris on a gutter system nobody has cleaned in years, a gutter guard that has to be lifted to reach the channel, oversized or box gutters, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and the number of buildings on one site. A clog left in the channel is also how water damage gets into the fascia and siding, so drop cloths and a clear drop zone help protect your home or business while the crew works.
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 building and the footage is measured. A gutter that still overflows after a service visit usually has a slope problem, and we will say so in the report rather than sell a second visit. Whether you want gutter protection added is a separate decision, quoted on its own. Our thorough gutter cleaning service covers every run and every outlet. A thorough cleaning also means the invoice shows exactly what was done.
On a flat roof with internal drains, the quote turns on the stories, the scupper count and the debris load, and the report shows what we found. To quote your property, call (866) 435-6328 with the address or send a site plan, along with the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings, and who the invoice goes to.
| 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 buildings suit a twice-a-year plan, in spring and late fall, while restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees usually go on quarterly. Across California the spring visit lands in mid to late June and the fall visit in late November to December, and the schedule follows what each property actually drops into its gutters. Both residential and commercial accounts run on that same logic, and a home or business on a fixed plan gets a final inspection after each of its cleanings, so a loose gutter guard or a sagging run gets flagged before the next storm.
Our crew sees the storm season and the post-storm inspections as the point where hidden problems surface, since a clogged run that held through the dry months overflows as soon as the rain arrives. Across California, atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days, so a run that held all dry season gets tested all at once. Leaf and pollen load shows up in the gutters in the months that follow the leaf drop, which is why the spring and fall visits are timed around it. Plenty of gutter cleaners only get the overflow call, not the prevention call, and a run that overflows along the eave can cause roof leaks at the fascia.
Flat roofs are where we see problems develop without warning. Parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently, 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. Between visits, gutter maintenance on a flat roof comes down to checking the drains, and a residential job can wait for the next visit while a commercial roof with a blocked drain cannot. Call (866) 435-6328 to book the spring or fall visit, or text a photo of the roofline and we will confirm a date.
| 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 covers San Rafael and the surrounding areas for commercial properties, including multi-building portfolios and multi-site accounts. Scheduling runs through one contact for every building, with a date confirmed in writing before we come out. Our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival and times the work around tenant hours when asked.
We provide gutter cleaning for property managers, HOA boards, facilities leads and triple net tenants who need the same crew on a fixed calendar. As a gutter company, we run commercial and residential properties on that same calendar, and a scheduled account gets one invoice per building, with the linear footage shown, so an owner or board can check it.
We also offer gutter cleaning and maintenance for homeowners and businesses across the region, and we handle residential gutter cleaning needs alongside commercial work. A homeowner with one building gets the same photo report we send to a portfolio. Our professional gutter cleaning services cover standard buildings, sites with landscape beds along the building line, and large sites, and we respond to a blockage or overflow call with the same photo-based report as any scheduled job.
We price it per building, and the number depends on the linear footage, the height and the gutter type. Some gutter cleaning companies price by length and land in a similar place per linear foot, but the number we quote is for the whole building. We send it in writing before anyone is dispatched.
The lease decides, so check the maintenance clause in yours; the lease cases are set out in the section above. We write the invoice to whichever party the lease names. This is not legal advice, so read the clause or ask the attorney who drafted it.
A clogged gutter on a restaurant or flat roof fills fastest, so quarterly is the schedule we run for those buildings. Our gutter cleaning process starts with a site check, and a leak that shows up between visits gets reported before the next scheduled cleaning. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will set a date for your building.
Yes. Above three stories the crew works from a boom or scissor lift, with fall protection in place, and the lift is matched to the building. Send us the stories and the roof type and we will confirm the setup in the quote.
Yes. We time the work around tenant hours when asked, check in with the on-site contact on arrival, and finish with a final inspection of every run. Tell us the access rules and any restricted areas when you book.
We clear the roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as well as the gutters, because a backed-up scupper can cause roof leaks. We photograph each one, and anything that needs repair is reported with the photo and not repaired without authorization.
After a severe storm, the post-storm calls usually turn up a clog in a run that held through the dry months and now overflows. Text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you what we see before a crew is sent.
Yes. We invoice each building separately, and our cleaning solutions cover one building or a whole portfolio under one contact. Ask for a written estimate and we will set the dates a season ahead.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
