We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building in Tustin, priced from the footprint and height of each roofline. Every job runs with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift, and you get a photo report of every run when we finish. Our crew is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. We work spring and fall on most of the commercial properties we service here, and we book storm follow-ups as soon as the managers call us.
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 work per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. Every gutter cleaning service quote from us arrives in writing before we schedule.
On our jobs the same handful of things moves the quote. Height above three stories means a boom or scissor lift and the fall-protection setup that goes with it. A clog, or a blockage of compacted debris on a system nobody has cleaned in years, takes longer to clear and haul, and where the trough has been running over, water can overflow onto the siding below. A gutter guard or other gutter protection has to be lifted and reseated, and oversized or box gutters run more footage per hour than standard ones. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs add their own work, and a site with several buildings across our service area is quoted building by building so the invoice matches the work done.
Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building, because a thorough gutter cleaning is not finished until every outlet runs clear, and that thorough cleaning is not billed as an extra. Scheduled service on a semi-annual or quarterly calendar is priced lower than a one-off call, and that is the cheapest way to protect your home or business over a year.
On one Tustin property we quoted recently, the building had two stories, a low-slope roof with internal drains and a gutter system that had not been opened in several years. The manager sent a site plan and two roof photos, and the quote followed from those. Tell us the address or send a site plan, the stories, the roof type, how many buildings sit on the site and who the invoice goes to, and we will write the quote from there. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roof to start.
| 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.
Across California, the twice-a-year visits land in mid to late June and late November to December, and most Tustin properties we service are on that pair, while restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees go on quarterly. Those schedules come from what we pull out of each kind of building, not from a rule we apply to every roof, so call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roof and we will book a date.
Storm season is what sends managers to us between visits. Across California, atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days, and Tustin averages 12.5 inches a year, with January, February and December the wettest months. After a heavy storm our crew checks the runs and downspouts, and what they find is usually a pulled hanger or a downspout packed with grit or leaves bridged across the outlet. Pollen, fallen leaves and landscape debris load the gutters every season, and that is why the June and late fall visits are timed around them.
Flat roofs on commercial buildings need closer watching than most. Parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently and can cause roof leaks and water damage, and the first thing a tenant usually notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister that has started to leak. That is why the monthly check between cleanings exists on flat roofs, and why a gutter company that only shows up twice a year can miss a problem that is already inside the wall.
Every homeowner with a single house asks us the same thing, but commercial work runs on a different calendar. On a commercial site with several buildings, the cleaning services and the cleaning process repeat per building, so the schedule covers the whole property instead of one roof at a time. For residential and commercial jobs alike, the crew hauls the debris, flushes every downspout and photographs each run. Once a property is on a schedule, we check that the cleaning solutions still fit the building and that the final inspection still shows clean runs.
| 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 run professional gutter cleaning services for commercial properties across Tustin and the surrounding areas, and gutter maintenance is scheduled per building. For managers with several sites we set up one scheduling contact covering every building. Each property gets its own quote and its own invoice, so the board or owner can check the footage and the work building by building.
The gutter cleaning process goes like this. A date is confirmed in writing before the crew is dispatched, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact when they arrive. Where a tenant needs quiet hours or access is restricted, we time the work around those hours when asked. Residential gutter cleaning is available to homeowners and businesses alike, and we offer gutter cleaning on houses too, so if you want residential gutter work on a house rather than a commercial building, ask us.
We understand that a multi-building portfolio has its own schedule and its own gutter cleaning and maintenance calendar. One contact, one written schedule, and a photo report for every building keep the work straight across the portfolio. If you have gutter cleaning needs across several Tustin properties, send us the list and we will provide gutter cleaning per building, with a quote and a schedule that matches the portfolio.
We quote per building for commercial and residential properties alike, and the number depends on linear footage, height, gutter type and what is in the gutters when we arrive. Per linear foot is one way gutter cleaners quote, but the building as a whole is what we price. Before you compare gutter cleaning companies, ask each one for a per-building figure in writing. The figure comes in writing before we schedule the work.
The lease decides. Read the maintenance clause in your lease, which sets who carries the work under a triple net, gross or silent lease, and see the section above for how those cases usually read. This is general information, not legal advice, so ask the attorney who drafted the lease if it is unclear.
On the restaurants and flat-roof buildings we service, quarterly is the schedule that keeps the runs and drains clear. Grease, grit and debris build up faster on those roofs, and the scuppers back up without warning when they do. We set the first date after we see the building.
Yes. Above three stories we work from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection set up, and the lift is matched to the roofline. Tell us the height when you request the quote so we bring the right equipment.
Yes. We time the work around tenant hours and access rules when asked, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact when they arrive. Give us the access rules and the quiet hours in your first message.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the job, along with the gutters and downspouts. Anything else we find is photographed and put in the report, and what to do about it is your call.
After a severe storm we check the runs and downspouts on the properties that call us, and what we usually find is a pulled hanger or a clogged gutter with a downspout bridged by grit and leaves. We photograph everything and report it. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will schedule the follow-up.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice, and a recurring schedule can cover every property in the portfolio under one contact. Send us the list of buildings and we will set up the schedule and the invoices.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
