We quote commercial gutters one building at a time, from its footprint and height, and we put the number in writing before anyone is dispatched. Every job runs with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift, and you get a photo report of every run when we finish. The crew doing the work is ours and on a schedule, not a roofer fitting gutters in between re-roofs. We service office, retail and multifamily properties and book most of our calendar around the spring and fall visits, when commercial buildings are most in need of a clean.
Quoted per building from footage, height and gutter type, in writing, before anyone is dispatched. Scheduled service costs less than a call-out.
We provide gutter cleaning on a per-building basis, quoted 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 biggest single factor on our jobs. Above three stories the crew works from a boom or scissor lift, and that setup adds time and equipment cost to the quote. Compacted debris on a system nobody has cleaned in years takes longer to clear, a clog in an internal drain adds more, and a gutter guard or other gutter protection that has to be lifted and reseated adds to the hours. Oversized or box gutters on industrial buildings, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and a site with several buildings all change the quote, so we ask about each before we write it. A thorough gutter cleaning costs more than a quick clear, and the quote shows where the extra hours go.
Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras. A gutter overflow sends water down the siding and into the planting beds below. Scheduled gutter cleaning service on a semi-annual or quarterly plan is priced lower than a one-off call, because the crew already knows the building and the footage is measured.
On a Santa Ana commercial property we have cleaned, the quote came out of three things: the number of stories, a flat roof with internal drains, and four buildings on one site. What we found was a clogged internal drain and scuppers packed with grit, which the crew cleared and photographed, with the report sent to the property manager. To quote your property we need the address or a site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, how many buildings, and who the invoice goes to. Send them and we will return a written estimate for each building.
| 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 properties we service, residential and commercial, in Santa Ana are on twice a year, in spring and late fall, while restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover go on quarterly. That split is what we see on the job, and whether it's a home or business, your building will tell us which group it belongs to on the first visit.
After storms we see the managers who call us for a post-storm check, and those visits usually turn up debris pushed into the gutters and downspouts that a regular cleaning would have caught. Leaf load peaks in fall, and pollen and landscape debris from spring add a second layer that packs the downspout elbows.
Flat roofs deserve the closer attention. Parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without a sound, and the first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister. A blocked drain can cause roof leaks before anyone sees standing water. That is why the monthly check between cleanings exists on those roofs. Good gutter cleaners check flat roofs between visits, not only on the calendar date.
Our crew can set up a recurring schedule for gutter maintenance across your properties, with the same crew, the same dates and one contact. Before the first visit we ask which cleaning services and cleaning solutions your buildings already use, so the schedule covers everything without overlap. Restaurant and food service sites get a thorough cleaning first because grease and grit load the gutter system fastest there.
| 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 offer gutter cleaning across Santa Ana and the surrounding areas for commercial properties, and on several business corridors where we have already serviced buildings for managers and owners. Our service area for commercial work covers the same corridors. For a property manager with several buildings, the scheduling runs through one contact, with one date confirmed in writing for each building. The crew checks in with the on-site contact when it arrives, and work can be timed around tenant hours if you ask.
We do professional gutter cleaning services for commercial and residential properties, and residential gutter cleaning for a homeowner, which helps protect your home, is a separate service with its own quote. Gutter cleaning and maintenance for homeowners and businesses follows the same per-building method. Blockage on a flat roof or a clogged gutter can lead to water damage inside the building, so we schedule the cleaning ahead of the wettest months, January, February and December, where we can. Our schedule is built for managers and owners who need predictable dates, not for emergency calls, and we confirm lead time when we quote. Call (866) 435-6328 to set up a site visit, or tell us your gutter cleaning needs and send your building list, and we will return a quote for each property.
Our gutter cleaning process prices each building on its own, using linear footage, height and gutter type. The number is written, not spoken, and it comes from a site plan or a satellite measurement before we are dispatched. Ask any gutter cleaning companies you're comparing for the same per-building written quote.
The lease decides, not state law. Read the maintenance clause in your lease, which sets who carries gutter and downspout cleaning, and we will bill the party named there. This is general information, not legal advice.
Restaurants and flat-roof buildings are usually on a quarterly schedule with us. On flat roofs the internal drains and scuppers back up silently, so the monthly check between cleanings is what catches a leak or a clog before a tenant sees a stain.
Yes. Above three stories the crew works from a boom or scissor lift under fall-protection rules, and the lift is set up before the first run is cleared. Tell us the stories when you request the quote.
Yes. We will time the work around tenant hours and follow your on-site access rules, and the crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. The crew does a final inspection before leaving the site. Send us the access requirements when you book.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs along with the gutters, and we list each one in the photo report. Anything we find that needs repair is photographed and reported, not fixed.
After a severe storm the post-storm calls usually turn up debris packed into gutters and downspouts, and sometimes a pulled hanger or a separated seam. A clogged gutter left after a storm can lead to a leak, so we photograph each finding and send the report to the property manager.
Yes. We invoice each building separately and can set up a recurring schedule for several properties under one contact. Call (866) 435-6328 or send your building list for a written estimate and a date booked on the calendar, and check it against any other gutter company's quote.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
