We quote commercial gutter cleaning per building in Walnut Creek, priced from each building's footprint and height. Fall protection or a boom or scissor lift goes on every job, and you get a photo report after. Our crew is scheduled and works only on gutter and downspout cleaning, not as a roofer's side job between re-roofs. We service office, retail and multifamily properties across California, and we book the spring and fall visits well ahead.
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. Height is the biggest single factor: above three stories the job needs a boom or scissor lift and the fall-protection setup that goes with it. Compacted debris from a clog that nobody has cleared in years takes longer than a light maintenance run, a gutter guard has to be lifted and reseated, and oversized or box gutters need more time per run. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs add to the job, and so does the number of buildings on one site, plus any downspout that runs down siding and has to be lifted clear first.
Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building, while gutter protection is quoted separately. 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 measured. For a property that needs a thorough gutter cleaning, the quote tells you exactly what is covered, so the gutter cleaning service you pay for is the one you get. If a gutter still shows overflow after clearing, that is usually a slope problem, and we will say so rather than sell a second cleaning. A clear system also helps protect your home or business from water damage. To quote a Walnut Creek building we need the address or site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who the invoice goes to. The work is set up for commercial properties, so the scope and the invoice match the building, and we serve Walnut Creek and the surrounding areas on the same terms.
| 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 Walnut Creek properties we service 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. On the properties we clean, the cleaning process, and the cleaning services with it, follow the building's load, not a fixed calendar. Restaurants and food service sites are the first to block, with grease and debris in the runs every second month. Industrial sites with a lot of dust and grit do the same. Flat roofs with internal drains carry the most risk, because parapets and scuppers back up silently. The first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a leak, and by then a clogged gutter can already cause roof leaks, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists.
On a multi-building site, the gutter system on each roofline is checked at the visit, and the crew confirms each downspout runs clear after a thorough cleaning. Gutter cleaning companies that quote by the foot tend to miss the height, and gutter cleaners who do the same can end up on a second visit, so we check height first. A homeowner with one house and a commercial owner with ten buildings get the same discipline, but the commercial owner gets one invoice per building. Whether the property is a residential and commercial mix or all office, we set the interval to what the building actually does. Our crew has learned that the managers who call us after a storm are usually the ones who skipped a visit the season before, so we set the schedule at the start and close each visit with a final inspection. If a building needs a different interval, we set one that fits how it actually gets dirty, and the schedule is adjusted after each 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.
We provide gutter cleaning for commercial properties across the Walnut Creek business corridors and business parks where we have serviced buildings before, and our professional gutter cleaning services run the same way on every site. Our service area is Walnut Creek and the surrounding areas we already know. For a property manager with several sites, scheduling runs through one contact: one call covers every building, and the date is confirmed in writing. Our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival and works around tenant hours where asked. Lead time depends on the season and the size of the portfolio, and we give the date in writing rather than promising a day. Residential gutter work is part of what we do for homeowners and businesses alike, and a site with mixed buildings can be booked on one schedule. The same crew handles gutter cleaning and maintenance, so the gutter maintenance record for each building stays in one place, and we offer gutter cleaning on the same terms across the portfolio. Your gutter cleaning needs set the interval, so a landscape with heavy tree cover gets a different schedule than a flat-roofed office, and we set it building by building. Where the roof shows water damage at the edge, we photograph it and report it, and the blockage we clear is logged so the next visit starts from the same record. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a roofline photo, and we will book a date in writing.
We quote per building for commercial and residential properties alike. The number depends on linear footage, height, gutter type and how much debris is in the system, and residential gutter cleaning follows the same method. Each quote is in writing before we dispatch, so you see what drives the price on your property.
The lease decides, not us. Read the maintenance clause in your lease, which sets who pays for the cleaning, and we will invoice the party it names. This is not legal advice, so ask the attorney who drafted the lease if the clause is unclear.
On the restaurant and flat-roof commercial buildings we service, quarterly is the schedule that holds up, because grease, debris and internal drains back up faster than a standard roof. Parapets and scuppers fail quietly, and a backed-up scupper can cause roof leaks, so we check between visits.
Yes. Above three stories we work from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection in place, and we confirm the setup for your building before we schedule the job.
Yes. We schedule around tenant hours and follow the site's access rules. Our gutter cleaning process starts with a check-in with the on-site contact on arrival, so the work stays out of the way.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the job, along with the gutters and downspouts. Anything we find that needs repair gets photographed and reported, not fixed.
After a severe storm the call-outs usually turn up leaf mats and debris packed into the runs, plus downspouts that have pulled loose. We inspect the system, clear it, and photograph what we find for the report.
Yes. We invoice per building, and one gutter company can cover several properties on one recurring schedule, with one contact and one confirmed date per visit. Call (866) 435-6328 to set it up.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
