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 finish. Our crew is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. On our Santa Clarita jobs we service office, retail and multifamily properties, and most managers book us for spring and late fall. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will send a written estimate.
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 commercial 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 number on our jobs is height above three stories, which means a boom or scissor lift and the fall-protection setup it requires, compacted debris or a clog at a downspout on a 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 how many buildings sit on one site and how much gutter system each one carries. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are never billed as extras. A thorough gutter cleaning runs the full length of every channel and ends with a flush of each downspout, because a thorough cleaning that skips the downspouts is how a blockage comes back before the next visit. An overflowing gutter pours water down the siding and onto walkways and the surrounding areas, which is why every run gets checked. Gutter protection, meaning guards or screens, is quoted separately. Scheduled semi-annual or quarterly service is priced lower than a one-off call, because we already know the building and the dates are booked a season ahead.
On one Santa Clarita office job, a three-story building with a flat roof and internal drains, the quote came from the site plan, the stories and the roof type, and the invoice went to the property manager, who had asked for it per building. Send us the address or a site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who the invoice goes to, and we will put a per-building figure in writing. Santa Clarita is our service area for these quotes, for commercial properties and multi-building sites alike. The gutter cleaning service stays the same whether the building is on a schedule or booked once; what changes is how far ahead we can plan the crew. When you compare gutter cleaning companies, ask whether downspouts and debris haul-off are in the figure and whether the quote is written per building. A gutter that still overflows after cleaning usually has a slope problem, and we will say so in the photo report rather than sell a second cleaning. Clearing the channel is what helps protect your home from overflow. Every quote explains what it covers, and the number we give you is the number on the invoice.
| 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 Santa Clarita properties we service, most are on twice a year, spring and late fall, while restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover go on quarterly. Our experience with commercial and residential properties is that the schedule follows what comes out of the gutters, not a calendar date, and our cleaning services are booked to match, with the same cleaning process on every visit. Across California the storm season is what shows up in our post-storm inspections, and the first pass after a hard rain is usually the one that finds the debris that got washed into the downspouts. On residential and commercial buildings alike, a homeowner or a property manager usually notices the same first sign, a section of the gutter system pulling away from the fascia or a stain under the eave.
On flat roofs the parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without a sound. The first thing a tenant notices is a leak, a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists on those roofs. A blocked drain can cause roof leaks when water backs up under the membrane, so between visits gutter maintenance on those roofs is mostly the drains. A gutter guard can hide a clog from the ground, and gutter cleaners or gutter cleaning companies that only look at the channel from below can miss the strainers. Our crew photographs the drain strainers at each visit so the manager can see the condition without climbing up. Each visit ends with a final inspection of the drains, whether the property is a home or business. Cleaning solutions for drain staining are priced on their own. Call (866) 435-6328, text a photo of the roofline, or book a date for the next visit.
| 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 Santa Clarita and the surrounding areas, and we provide gutter cleaning on business corridors and business parks where we have already serviced properties. We handle a multi-building portfolio as one account. Our professional gutter cleaning services take one contact for every building, confirm each date in writing, and check in with the on-site contact when they arrive. We time the work around tenant hours where asked, and we work with building owners on access, parking and the landscape. Commercial and residential gutter cleaning needs get the same written quote process. We also do residential gutter work for homeowners and businesses across the valley, so a single property or a whole site can be booked the same way. Cleaning solutions for staining are quoted separately from the gutter work. We offer gutter cleaning and maintenance on a fixed calendar, with the property's history kept in one file so the next visit starts where the last one ended. A blockage left for a season is how water damage starts, so each visit ends with a final inspection. Call (866) 435-6328, text a photo of the roofline, or book a date for the next visit.
We price it per building. The process starts with the quote, and the number depends on linear footage, height and gutter type. We will tell you what each of those costs in our quote, in writing, before the crew is dispatched.
The lease decides, not us, and you will find the answer in the maintenance clause. We will send the invoice to whichever party the lease names, and the section above sets out how the common lease types read. This is not legal advice.
On the restaurants and flat roofs we service in Santa Clarita, quarterly is what keeps the internal drains clear, because grease and debris build up faster than on a standard building. Gutter maintenance between those cleanings is mostly checking the drains, and a clogged gutter on those roofs is the first thing to fix, since a blocked drain can cause roof leaks.
Yes. Above three stories we work from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection, and we bring the lift the roofline needs.
Yes. Tell us the hours and the access rules and we will schedule the crew around them. The cleaning process stays the same, and the crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival.
We clear both. Roof drains and scuppers are cleared of debris and the strainer domes are reseated, which is part of the gutter cleaning process, and we photograph each one in the report.
After a hard storm we see debris pushed into downspouts and drains, and a clog left there can start a leak. We can schedule a post-storm call-out to clean gutters and clear the downspouts before the next rain. Call (866) 435-6328 to book the date.
Yes. We invoice per building and set up a recurring schedule for each property in the portfolio, with one contact and dates confirmed in writing. Both commercial and residential properties get that per-building invoice, including residential gutter cleaning on multi-unit buildings. For a gutter company working across several sites, per-building billing is the easiest invoice to check. Ask for a written estimate and we will set it up.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
