We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building in Upland, priced from each building's footprint and height. Our crew is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Every job gets fall protection or a boom or scissor lift, and you get a photo report of every run when we finish. Most of our Upland work is on office, retail and multifamily buildings that book in spring and late fall.
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 commercial gutter cleaning service per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or satellite measurement before anyone is dispatched. What moves the quote is what we run into on the roof: buildings above three stories that need a boom or scissor lift under fall-protection rules, compacted debris and a clog at a downspout elbow on a system nobody has cleaned in years, a gutter guard that has to be lifted and reseated along with any gutter protection on the run, oversized or box gutters, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and the number of buildings on one site.
Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras, and every building gets a thorough cleaning from the first run to the last downspout. 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 already measured. Some gutter cleaning companies quote a flat rate per foot, but that number hides the lift and the roof type, so each building gets a thorough gutter cleaning at its own price. A gutter that still shows overflow after cleaning is usually a slope problem, and water running over the siding is the first sign of it. We say so in the report rather than selling a second cleaning.
On one Upland office property, the quote came down to three stories, a flat roof with internal drains, and two buildings on one site, which is why it was written per building instead of per foot. To quote your property we need the address or a site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who the invoice goes to. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a site plan and we will put the number in writing.
| 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.
Our cleaning services on the Upland properties we service come in two intervals: most are on twice a year, in spring and late fall, while restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees go on quarterly. Across residential and commercial buildings in California the same split holds, but the storm and leaf calendar is what sets the timing for your property.
What we pull out of these buildings tells the schedule, and our gutter cleaning process records it on every visit. After a storm, the managers who call us are usually dealing with a clogged gutter, blocked downspouts, sagging runs and water behind the fascia, and the post-storm inspections are where we find the hangers that have pulled loose. Leaves and pollen load the gutters on a predictable calendar, and a blockage that builds up between visits is exactly what the spring and fall visits are timed to catch, so the timing follows that load rather than the calendar year.
Flat roofs are the ones that surprise people. 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, sometimes a leak. That is why the monthly check between cleanings exists on those roofs, and why the crew logs the drain condition on every visit. Between visits, our gutter maintenance on those roofs is a drain check and a look at the runs, and every visit ends with a final inspection before the crew leaves. Call (866) 435-6328 to set up a schedule, or text us a photo of the roofline and we will tell you which interval fits.
| 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 crew works across Upland and surrounding areas, and our cleaning services cover commercial properties, meaning office, retail and multifamily buildings in the business districts and corridors where we have serviced properties. Our service area is Upland and those surrounding areas. For a property manager with several buildings, the arrangement is simple: one contact for every building in the portfolio, a date confirmed in writing, and a crew that checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. Where the tenants ask, we time the work around their hours, and we keep crews and equipment off the landscape beds and walkways.
We provide gutter cleaning for commercial and residential properties, and our professional gutter cleaning services run on the same crew for both. We also offer gutter cleaning and maintenance on a schedule, so a portfolio can be planned a season ahead. Homeowners and businesses get the same written quote, and any home or business in Upland with residential gutter cleaning needs gets the same per-building logic. A homeowner with a single house gets one building priced from its footprint, and a clear gutter system is how you protect your home from water damage. Text a photo of the roofline or ask for a written estimate and we will confirm the next open date.
Our number comes in writing for each building, and it depends on the linear footage, the height and the gutter type rather than on a single rate. Most gutter cleaners quote a rate per foot, which hides the lift and the roof type, so we do not quote a flat figure without a site plan or satellite measurement. Any gutter company that quotes without measuring is guessing.
The lease decides, not us, so check the maintenance clause in your agreement and follow the section above on who pays by lease type. This is not legal advice, and we send the invoice to whichever party the lease names.
On the flat roofs and restaurant buildings we service, quarterly is what keeps the internal drains clear, because grease and debris build up faster than on a standard building, so those roofs need to clean gutters four times a year rather than twice. Between visits we check the drains and report what we see.
Yes, we use a boom or scissor lift and fall protection on every job above three stories. Tell us the height when you request the quote and we will confirm the setup in writing.
Yes, we schedule around tenant hours and follow the on-site access rules you give us. The gutter cleaning process starts with a check-in with the on-site contact on arrival, so nothing catches anyone off guard.
Both. Roof drains and scuppers are cleared of debris and the strainer domes reseated as part of the visit, and the crew picks cleaning solutions to suit the roof surface. Any problem we find is photographed and reported.
Across California, atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days, so the post-storm load on a gutter system can be heavy. We run post-storm call-outs, and what we most often find is blocked downspouts, sagging runs and water behind the fascia. Left alone, a clog like that can cause roof leaks and water damage, and catching a small leak early is cheaper than opening drywall later. We photograph every problem so you know exactly what the storm did.
Yes, each building gets its own invoice with the linear footage shown, and we can set up a recurring schedule covering all of them. Call (866) 435-6328 or ask for a written estimate and we will book the first date.
