We quote commercial gutter work in Whittier per building, priced from the footprint and height of the structure, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job and a photo report once we finish. The crew doing the work is ours and scheduled on a calendar, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Across California we work the spring and fall visits for offices, retail and multifamily buildings, and the Whittier properties we service book the same way.
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 gutter work per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement before anyone is dispatched. What moves the quote on our jobs is height above three stories and the boom or scissor lift it needs under fall-protection rules, compacted debris on a system nobody has cleaned in years, gutter guards and other gutter protection that have to be lifted to reach the channel, oversized or box gutters, and roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras, and a scheduled semi-annual or quarterly plan is priced lower than a one-off call. On our Whittier jobs the gutter cleaning service is the same crew on the same calendar, so one clog, or a blockage, found on one run is photographed and cleared, not quoted as a separate visit. On a building with several stories and more than one roof type, the quote goes up once the lift is set, and the photo report covers every run, including any spot where the gutter would overflow onto the siding. To quote a Whittier property we need the address or a site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings on the site and the name of the party the invoice goes to. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will confirm the number. Sites that cover wide surrounding areas or a campus inside our service area are quoted as one scheduled route, and the thorough gutter cleaning is the same on every building on it. Each quote is written with its inclusions and what we did not touch, so you can check it against the work. For commercial properties that need a protect your home style of planning around water damage, we flag the leak risk and leave the rest to the manager.
| 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 Whittier properties we service are on twice a year, spring and late fall, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees on quarterly. The cleaning services that pay off most are the ones on a fixed date, because a crew that knows the building has the footage and the lift already sorted. On a flat roof the parapets and scuppers back up without a sound, 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 clogged run will overflow at the joints and send water down the siding, so it gets checked before the next storm. The gutter cleaning process is the same on each visit: clear the run, flush each downspout, photograph the result and note any hanger that has pulled. Gutter guard and gutter system questions come up often, and we only note what we see, never sell a product. Managers of residential and commercial buildings tend to treat gutter maintenance like a home or business line item, and a homeowner usually does the same. The cleaning solutions that hold up are the ones tied to the storm season. After a storm, the final inspection turns up the debris load we were not there to see. Other companies run gutter cleaning companies and gutter cleaners on the same schedule, and the difference we see on our own sites is a single named crew that comes back to the same roofline. To book a date, call (866) 435-6328 and the next visit goes on the calendar.
| 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 across the business corridors of Whittier and the commercial properties along them, and we keep the same crew on the same route. One contact handles every building in a portfolio, a date is confirmed in writing, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. Work can be timed around tenant hours where asked, and we set the schedule with the property manager before the truck is booked. Provide gutter cleaning for a multi-building site means one route, one invoice per building and one photo report that covers the whole site, and each building gets a thorough cleaning. A residential gutter job on a neighboring house is a different job, and we handle it separately. We serve commercial and residential properties, and we do residential gutter cleaning for the homeowner too, but this page is about commercial buildings. Our work touches the landscape around the building, and where a blockage backs up the drains we flag the water damage risk in the report. The gutter cleaning and maintenance schedule is set by the building, and we keep the gutter cleaning needs of each property on file so a second visit does not start from zero. We offer gutter cleaning to homeowners and businesses across our service area, and the commercial work is scheduled apart from it. To book a date for your portfolio, call (866) 435-6328.
We price per building, and the number depends on the linear footage, the height and the gutter type. The figure comes in writing for each building before we are dispatched. Ask for the quote by address or send a site plan, and the gutter cleaning process starts from there.
On commercial buildings the lease usually settles it, not the state. Send us the party named in the maintenance clause and we will bill that party directly, with the linear footage on the invoice.
On the restaurants and flat roofs we service in Whittier, quarterly is the schedule that keeps the internal drains clear. A clogged gutter on a flat roof can cause roof leaks before anyone sees water on the ceiling.
Yes. We set a boom or scissor lift and work under fall-protection rules on every one of our commercial cleanings above three stories. Send the number of stories and the roof type and we will confirm the setup for your building.
Yes. Tell us the access rules and the hours we can work, and we will schedule gutter maintenance visits to match. Our crew checks in with the on-site contact when they arrive.
Yes. The gutter cleaning process on flat roofs covers the roof drains and scuppers along with the gutters, and we flush each downspout so the clean gutters drain away from the building. Anything found beyond that is photographed and reported, not repaired without authorization.
After a storm, residential gutter cleaning calls and commercial call-outs alike most often turn up debris packed into the downspouts and drains. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will schedule the crew.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice and the recurring schedule is set for every commercial and residential property in the portfolio. One gutter company contact covers all of them, so ask for a written estimate and we will book the first date.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
