We quote commercial gutter work per building in Sunnyvale, priced from each building's footprint and height, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job and a photo report after. Our crew is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. We run spring and fall visits across California for office, retail and multifamily buildings, and we book them ahead so the dates hold.
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. Thorough gutter cleaning is priced on the full measured footage, and thorough cleaning on a multi-building site is quoted building by building. The number on the quote is the number on the invoice.
What moves the quote on our jobs is height, since taller rooflines take a lift and more setup time, compacted debris on a system nobody has cleaned in years, gutter protection, such as guards, that has to be lifted before we can clear the run, oversized or box gutters, and roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs. A clog at a downspout elbow is the usual reason a gutter will overflow at the corners after rain, and a run that has overflowed for a season can leave the siding and fascia wet underneath. The number of buildings on one site matters too. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras. A repeat customer on a recurring schedule pays less per visit than a first-time call, because the crew already has the layout on file.
On a Sunnyvale site we need the address or site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who the invoice goes to. With those we can give you a surveyed estimate for each building. Sunnyvale sits inside our service area, and most of our work here is office and multifamily commercial properties on a fixed calendar, each quoted from its own measurements rather than a template. Call (866) 435-6328 or send us the site plan and we will reply with a written quote 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.
On the Sunnyvale properties we service, most buildings are on two visits a year, while restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees go quarterly. Across California the spring visit runs mid to late June and the fall visit late November to December, and the cleaning services follow that calendar, so the gutter cleaning process we run is the same whatever the building type.
What we pull out of a restaurant gutter on a quarterly cycle is grease film and fryer dust mixed with leaves, which packs the elbows within weeks. Across California atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days, and a blockage that holds through one of those days is where water damage starts. The managers who call us after a storm usually have a downspout that backed up during the heavy rain days, and our post-storm inspections turn up a lot of standing water on flat roofs. Leaves and pollen load the gutters from late spring into fall, so the spring visit is the one that clears the seed.
Flat roofs need closer attention than pitched ones. 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. A gutter guard on a flat roof edge still traps grit, so every visit ends with a final inspection of the gutter system. Between visits, gutter maintenance is simplest with a single contact for all of your gutter cleaning needs, whether it is a home or business, and keeping the water moving off the roof helps protect your home. Roofs that need more than the standard visit can get cleaning solutions scoped to the building.
| 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 professional gutter cleaning services across Sunnyvale's commercial districts and the surrounding areas, on the same schedule as the buildings around them. Property managers with several buildings get one contact for all of them, and each building gets its own invoice with the linear footage shown, so the owner or board can check it line by line.
Scheduling works like this: we confirm a date in writing, our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival, and the work is timed around tenant hours where asked. Our commercial clients also use us for residential gutter cleaning at homes they manage, so the same crew can handle a single-family unit next to a multifamily building. A homeowner with one house gets the same written quote a portfolio gets. We do residential and commercial work on one gutter cleaning and maintenance schedule. Heavy landscape around a building, such as overhanging trees, adds leaves and needles to the run, and we note it on the quote.
For a multi-site portfolio we provide gutter cleaning on one schedule across every building, with a single service line item per site. Lead time depends on the season and the number of buildings, so ask for the booking window when you request the quote. To book a date, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline, and we will confirm the first visit in writing.
We price it per building. Our process starts from the linear footage, the height and the gutter type, and some gutter cleaning companies quote per linear foot instead. A building with three stories and a lift costs more to clean than a one-story building of the same length, so the number comes in writing for each building.
The lease itself answers that, not us, and our invoice follows whichever party it names. Settle it before you book, so the invoice goes to the right party the first time.
On the restaurants and flat-roof commercial buildings we service in Sunnyvale, quarterly is the schedule that holds. Grease and grit pack the elbows, so a clogged gutter on a restaurant can back up within weeks, and the internal drains back up between visits too. Buildings under heavy tree cover follow the same quarterly schedule, and that gutter maintenance is what keeps the drains clear.
Yes. Taller buildings get a lift-based quote, and our crew sets up for the roofline in front of them. Call (866) 435-6328 with the stories and the roof type and we will tell you what setup the job needs.
Yes. We time the work around tenant hours and follow the site's access rules for gates, badges and parking, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact when they arrive.
A blocked drain is one of the things that can cause roof leaks, and a slow leak at a parapet often shows up first as a stain. We clear roof drains and scuppers as part of the visit, removing debris and reseating the strainer domes. Where a drain line below grade is blocked, we clear it on request and quote it separately.
After a severe storm our post-storm call-outs usually turn up debris packed into downspouts and standing water on flat roofs. Gutter cleaners who inspect each run catch that early, and we photograph what we find and report it, without repairing anything unless you authorize it.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice with the linear footage shown, and as a gutter company that works from a schedule, we set one recurring plan across all of your properties. We offer gutter cleaning on that plan for commercial and residential properties alike, with one contact for the whole portfolio. Text a photo of the roofline or call (866) 435-6328 to book the first date.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
