We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building, priced from each building's footprint and height. Our crew does the work, not a roofer between re-roofs, and every job gets fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on the roofline. You get a photo report after each visit so the property file shows what was cleaned and what was found. Property managers, HOA boards and triple net tenants usually book ahead of the spring and fall visits.
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 number on our jobs is height above three stories and the boom or scissor lift it requires under fall-protection rules, compacted debris and landscape waste on a system nobody has cleaned in years, a gutter guard that has to be lifted to reach the channel, oversized or box gutters, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and how many buildings sit on one site. A thorough cleaning covers the channel, the hangers and the downspout outlet, and the per-building figure pays for that thorough work, not a quick pass from the ground. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras. Scheduled semi-annual or quarterly service is priced lower than a one-off call, because the crew already knows the building.
Our Yorba Linda commercial buildings are mostly office, retail and multifamily, and the quote for any of them starts with the same questions: the address or site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings, and who the invoice goes to. Send those and we return a written estimate for each building. The cleaning services we provide for commercial owners follow the same gutter cleaning process from quote to final inspection, and the crew photographs each run before it leaves the roofline. On a multi-building site the gutter system is quoted building by building, so a property manager can see which roofs carry the most debris and budget accordingly. Our residential and commercial work runs on the same crew, so we can speak to what a homeowner or a building manager actually sees after a storm. Some gutter cleaners quote one flat price per visit, but a home or business with three roofs is three different jobs, so we quote each building on its own. Our crew is the one on your invoice, so the person who quoted the building is the one who cleans it. Put our quote next to the ones from gutter cleaning companies and check the lift line first. Cleaning solutions for a flat roof with internal drains are a separate conversation, and we will tell you on the phone if your property needs one. Ask for the written estimate and book a date once the number works for your building.
| 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.
Across the Yorba Linda properties we service, most are on twice a year, spring and late fall, and restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover run on a quarterly schedule. We pick the interval from what we pull out of each roofline on the first visit, not from a rule of thumb. Professional gutter cleaning services on a commercial roof are mostly about the first pass, because the gutter and the downspout hold what the storm carried in. A clog in the first run is the cheapest thing to fix and the easiest to miss. After a severe storm, the post-storm call-outs turn up the same things every time: leaf mats in the back runs, grit packed into the downspout elbows, and a scupper that was never opened in the first place. When a run backs up, the overflow runs down the fascia and onto the siding below, and water damage starts there. Landscape debris from mature trees is the main load on buildings with planting, and a single blockage in one downspout can hold a whole run full.
Flat roofs deserve their own schedule. 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 on the floor below. That is why the monthly check between cleanings exists, and why a building on a flat roof with internal drains usually goes on the quarterly list. A residential gutter on a pitched house can wait longer, but a commercial roof collects more water and more debris per square foot, so the interval shortens. We provide gutter cleaning across the Yorba Linda properties on one plan, whether it is a restaurant grease line or a multifamily roof over a parking structure, and we offer gutter cleaning and maintenance on the same calendar for homeowners and businesses alike. The gutter cleaning needs of an office park are different from a restaurant row, and the frequency should match the building. Commercial work is where the schedule matters most, so call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will book a date that suits the 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.
Our service area is Yorba Linda's commercial corridors and business districts, along with the surrounding areas, and we set one point of contact for every building in the portfolio. A date is confirmed in writing, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival, with work timed around tenant hours where that is asked. We are not promising same-day or next-day service, because the lead time depends on the calendar and is confirmed when you book. A clogged gutter on a shared roof can cause roof leaks, and a single leak into a tenant suite is the call every manager dreads, so on multi-site portfolios of commercial buildings we schedule the worst roofs first. We also do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners in the same area, and the booking works the same for homeowners and businesses. Our commercial and residential properties are scheduled on one calendar, and commercial properties get the same written confirmation. Scheduled gutter maintenance keeps the plan predictable for the property manager who has to answer to an owner, with the cleanings on the calendar ahead of the wettest months, January, February and December. Some managers ask us to take over a portfolio from a gutter company that stopped answering the phone, and we do that when the route fits. Whether it is a home or business, call (866) 435-6328 to add a building or to move a date, and we will send the confirmation in writing.
We quote per building, and the number depends on the linear footage, the height and the gutter type, so each building gets its own written estimate. Per linear foot is one way the math is done, but the stories and the debris load change the final figure. A thorough gutter cleaning is priced on the whole building, and gutter protection work is quoted separately. Send the address and stories and we return the quote.
The lease decides, not us. The section above lays out who pays under triple net, gross and lease-silent terms, and the invoice goes to whichever party the lease names. This is not legal advice, so read the maintenance clause of your lease or ask the attorney who drafted it.
On the restaurant and flat-roof properties we service, quarterly is the schedule that keeps the parapets and internal drains clear. A single clog in an internal drain can make a flat roof overflow onto the floor below, and it does so silently, so the monthly check between cleanings matters as much as the visit itself.
Yes. Above three stories the job is done from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection, and the crew brings the lift the roofline needs. Send the stories and the roof type so we can confirm the setup before the date is booked.
Yes. We time the work around tenant hours and follow the access rules you give us, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. Tell us the hours when you call and we will write them into the booking.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as well as the gutters and downspouts. Anything we find that needs repair is photographed and reported, not repaired by us. Call (866) 435-6328 if you want the flat-roof drains added to the visit.
After a severe storm the post-storm call-outs usually turn up leaf mats in the back runs, grit in the downspout elbows, and scuppers that were never opened. Overflow from one blocked run can soak the siding and fascia below, and clearing those runs is how you protect your home or business from the water that follows. We photograph each one and send the report to the property manager. Text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you what the crew expects to find.
Yes. Commercial properties with several buildings get one invoice per building, and a recurring schedule across them is set up with one contact and one calendar. Ask for a written estimate covering all the buildings and we will book the first date for you.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
