We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building, priced from the footprint and height of each structure. Every job is done 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. We are not a roofer working a side job between re-roofs, and the person who quotes your building is the person who is on the ladder.
Across California we service office, retail and multifamily properties, and most of our commercial clients 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 commercial gutter cleaning per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. A thorough gutter cleaning is quoted this way, and the written number is the number you are billed. The gutter cleaning process starts with the measurement, not the truck.
Height is the largest single factor on commercial work. Above three stories the job is done from a boom or scissor lift under fall-protection rules, and the lift adds setup time. A clogged gutter full of compacted debris on a system that has not been cleaned in years takes longer to clear than a seasonal load. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated, oversized or box gutters, and roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs all change the time on site, and we price each of them as we find them. Gutter protection work is outside this quote and is priced on its own. The number of buildings on one site matters too, since several buildings on one visit share mobilization.
A thorough cleaning includes downspout flushing and debris haul-off per building, and neither is billed as an extra. Scheduled semi-annual or quarterly gutter cleaning service is priced lower than a one-off call, because the crew already knows the property and the footage is measured. Clearing the system on schedule is how you protect your home and the building under it. A homeowner with a single-story house gets the same written method, from footage and height. When you compare gutter cleaning companies, check that the quote from any gutter company shows the footage, height and drain count.
On our Woodland work, one commercial property we cleaned was a two-story office building with a flat roof and internal drains, where the crew found the internal drain strainers packed and the parapet scuppers backed up. That property was quoted per building from its footprint and drain count. To quote a Woodland 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 Woodland 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 are on quarterly. Those are the cleaning services we see the most, and the schedule follows what the building actually collects. The schedule works the same way for residential and commercial buildings.
What we find comes from the storm season and from the leaf and pollen loads. The post-storm inspections are where managers call us to clean gutters, and what we pull out is usually the heaviest load of the year. Pollen and leaf debris build up through the seasons, and a gutter system that skips the fall visit tends to show sagging runs by early spring. Overflow from a clog runs down the siding and stains the wall below, so a clog is cheaper to clear than to repaint.
On flat roofs, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently, and that is how a clogged drain can cause roof leaks. The first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, which is why the monthly check between cleanings is one of the cleaning solutions we use on flat roofs. Good gutter cleaners check the parapet and drain strainers, not only the gutter run, because a gutter guard or a clogged drain can look fine from the ground while the flat roof is holding water.
Each property type on this schedule follows the same cleaning process: measure, clear, flush, flow-test and photograph before the final inspection. The schedule is a plan for each home or business, not a generic interval, and it is set building by building.
| 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 professional gutter cleaning across the business districts and corridors of Woodland where we have already serviced commercial properties. Woodland is our core service area, and we take the surrounding areas on request, quoted by building. For a property manager with several buildings, the arrangement is simple: one contact for every building, a date confirmed in writing, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact when they arrive. Where tenants need quiet hours or restricted access, we time the work around them. Sites with landscape beds or heavy tree litter get a longer crew time on the quote. We provide gutter cleaning on a fixed schedule for each building, matched to the gutter cleaning needs of that site.
We cover commercial and residential properties, and residential gutter cleaning is available from the same crew, which serves homeowners and businesses alike, so one company can handle a mixed portfolio. Our professional gutter cleaning services are built for a property manager who wants one visit, one invoice and photos to file.
A multi-site portfolio is handled as a single schedule. Each building keeps its own quote and photo report, and the blockage, leak and water damage history of each roof is tracked so the next visit starts from what we already know. We offer gutter cleaning and maintenance on a recurring basis, which is what most portfolio owners need. To book a date, text a photo of the roofline or call (866) 435-6328.
We quote per building, and the number depends on the linear footage, the height and the gutter type. We write the figure out for each building before we dispatch anyone.
The lease decides, and the lease type sets the answer; see the section above on who pays. This is general information and not legal advice, so read the maintenance clause of your lease.
We put restaurants and flat-roof buildings on a quarterly schedule, because what we pull from those gutters builds up faster than a standard building, and gutter maintenance between visits is what keeps it from backing up.
Yes, we clean gutters on commercial buildings over three stories from a boom or scissor lift under fall-protection rules, with the lift matched to the roofline.
Yes. We schedule around tenant hours and access requirements, and we confirm the date with the on-site contact in writing before we arrive.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the cleaning, not as an add-on, and we photograph each one.
Our call-outs after a severe storm most often turn up a clogged gutter with hanger damage or a downspout blocked with storm debris, and we photograph and report it, because we do not repair, replace or install gutters or guards.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice and photo report, and a recurring schedule can cover every property in one agreement. Text a photo of the roofline or call (866) 435-6328 and we will set up the first visit.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
