We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building, priced from the footprint and height of each one. Fall protection or a boom or scissor lift goes on every job, and you get a photo report when we finish. Our crew is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. We do this work across California, with the heaviest booking 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.
Every gutter cleaning service we quote is priced per building, from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. Our figures show a starting point, and the number on the quote is the number on the invoice. Some gutter cleaning companies quote by the hour and some gutter cleaners by the foot, which makes totals hard to compare. The same per-building method covers residential and commercial jobs, so a homeowner, or any home or business, gets a number it can check against the building itself.
Four things move the quote most. Height above three stories means a boom or scissor lift and more setup under fall-protection rules. A clog of compacted debris on a gutter system nobody has cleaned in years takes longer to clear. A gutter guard that must be lifted and reseated adds labor, and so do oversized box or industrial gutters running along siding. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs need their own pass, and a site with several buildings is quoted building by building. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are never billed as extras. Every building ends with a final inspection, and any cleaning solutions for a stained fascia appear as their own line on the quote, not buried in the total. Scheduled semi-annual or quarterly service is priced lower than a one-off call, because the crew knows the building and the dates are booked a season ahead.
On a recent multi-building job, the property manager asked for one quote covering a row of single-story offices. What set the number was the linear footage on each building, the flat roof sections with internal drains, and the debris that had built up on one run that had not been opened in years. We wrote a quote per building and sent it before anyone was scheduled. To quote a Vacaville 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.
| 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 of the Vacaville properties we service are on twice a year, spring and late fall, and restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover are on quarterly. Tell us your gutter cleaning needs for each building and we will tell you which group it falls into after one look at the roofline.
What we find between visits follows the season. Storm season brings debris into the gutters fast, and the managers who call us after a storm are usually asking about blockage that started a few weeks earlier. Leaves, pollen and landscape debris load the runs at the turn of each season. Where the roof drains back up, the first sign is often water staining a ceiling tile or a membrane blister, and that is usually the start of water damage, not an overflow at the edge.
Flat roofs need closer attention than pitched ones. Parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently, with no gutter visibly overflowing, and that can cause roof leaks before anyone sees water. That is why the monthly check between cleanings exists on those buildings. We do that check from the roof edge and report what we see.
Our professional gutter cleaning services run on this kind of schedule for many commercial buildings across one property portfolio. If you have no cases to compare against, the simplest starting point is twice a year for a standard building and quarterly for anything with a restaurant kitchen, a flat roof or heavy tree cover.
| 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 gutter cleaning across Vacaville and the surrounding areas for property managers and facilities leads who need the same crew on every building. Vacaville is the core of our service area. Multi-building sites and portfolios are handled through one contact, and each building is quoted and invoiced separately so the paperwork matches the property. Our crew works the same way in every part of our service area.
Our gutter cleaning process starts with one contact for all buildings, a date confirmed in writing, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. Where tenants need quiet hours, we time the work around them. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you the earliest date we can hold, and we confirm it in writing rather than promising a fixed lead time.
We also offer service to homeowners and businesses, and residential work follows the same method as the commercial work. When a portfolio mixes commercial and residential properties, the same crew handles them on one schedule. Ask us about gutter maintenance for either type, since gutter cleaning and maintenance can run on the same calendar. Clear runs also help protect your home from water getting behind the fascia.
We quote per building, and the price depends on the linear footage, the height and the gutter type. Get a per-building number in writing from any gutter company you talk to. Some quote per linear foot, and that gets you close, but a thorough gutter cleaning depends on access and debris, so we write the number per building. You get it in writing before we are dispatched.
The lease decides, not state law. Read the maintenance clause in your lease, and the section above on who pays lays out the three common lease types. This is not legal advice, so ask the attorney who drafted the lease if the clause is unclear.
On the restaurants and flat roofs we service, we see enough debris between visits that quarterly is the schedule that holds. A flat roof with internal drains can back up without any visible overflow, so the monthly check between cleanings matters as much as the cleaning itself.
Yes. Above three stories we work from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection in place, and we set the lift to the building. The setup is part of the quote, so tell us the height when you call.
Yes. We will schedule around tenant hours when you ask, and we check in with the on-site contact on arrival so access is clear before the lift goes up. Send us any access rules in writing when you book, or call (866) 435-6328 and we will take them down on the phone.
Both. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs are cleared as part of the same visit and photographed with the gutter runs. If something needs repair rather than cleaning, we photograph it and describe it in the report and leave the decision to you.
After a storm we get calls for a clogged gutter packed with debris and water standing on flat roofs, along with a leak that shows up at the first heavy rain. We do a thorough cleaning of each run, flush the downspouts and report anything that looks like damage. Storm season is the busiest time of year for these call-outs, so book early if you want clean gutters before the rains start, and if the building has gutter protection, tell us what it is so the crew knows what to lift.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice, and a recurring schedule can cover several commercial properties under one contact. Tell us the buildings and their addresses, and we will set the dates and send the invoices to whoever is responsible for each one.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
