We quote each commercial building from its footprint and height, and put the figure in writing before we schedule anything. Our crew does the work ourselves, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job, and after a final inspection you get a photo report of every run. Our fall visits run October to early November, and spring visits across Colorado run late May to June. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we'll return a written quote.
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. The quote is the number we bill, so you know the figure before the truck rolls.
On our jobs, height is the biggest single factor. Above three stories we bring a boom or scissor lift and set up fall protection to match, and that setup is part of the quote. Compacted debris on a gutter system nobody has cleaned in years takes more crew time than a routine run, and a gutter guard that has to be lifted and reseated adds time on every section. Oversized box gutters and industrial gutters need heavier tools and more passes. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs get cleared as part of the job, and the number of buildings on one site changes how we stage the work.
A thorough gutter cleaning includes downspout flushing and debris haul-off per building, and none of it is billed as an extra. Any gutter protection installs are 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 on file.
Property managers comparing gutter cleaners and gutter cleaning companies often ask what separates a written estimate from a verbal one. Our estimate lists the buildings, the linear footage, the access method and the disposal, so the invoice matches the quote line by line. Many of the cleaning services we're asked to compare against bill for add-ons after the fact, and some cleaning solutions do too. We don't. A homeowner calling about a single house gets the same written approach for residential and commercial work, but this page is about commercial buildings. Tell us the address or send a site plan, the number of stories, the roof type and who the invoice goes to, and we'll return the estimate for your home or business in writing before the date is set.
| Per building | |
|---|---|
| Standard, one to two stories | from $150 |
| Oversized box or industrial gutters | from $295 |
| Three stories and up, with a lift | from $395 |
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 Denver properties we service are on twice a year, spring and late fall, while restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees are on quarterly. That split holds because it matches what we pull out of each roof.
Across Colorado, hail season along the Front Range dents gutters and washes shingle grit into the runs, and the managers who call us after a storm usually find that grit packed in the downspout elbows. Our professional gutter cleaning services are scheduled around that load, so the spring visit lands after the worst of the grit has settled.
On the properties we clean, the seed and leaf load in spring and fall is what fills a run to the point of overflow. A residential gutter fills at a similar rate, but a commercial run covers far more footage, and one blockage at a roof drain can send water behind the fascia across several bays. Managers with landscape contracts see this most in the months after the crew trims the trees.
Flat roofs are where the schedule matters most. On a flat roof the parapets and scuppers back up without a sound, and the first sign a tenant gets is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, which is why we do a monthly check between cleanings. That check is part of our gutter maintenance schedule. Water damage on a flat roof is rarely dramatic at first. It shows up as a stain and then as a soft patch, and by then the drain has been holding water for weeks.
We can offer gutter cleaning and maintenance on any schedule the property needs. Once a building is on the calendar, we provide gutter cleaning at the agreed interval. Our crew keeps every building on one schedule with one contact, so the gutter cleaning needs of a multi-site portfolio stay in one place. Homeowners and businesses both get the same approach, although this page is written for commercial properties.
| 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 Denver and the surrounding areas, and we run commercial crews across it. We keep the schedule for each property in one place, so a property manager with several buildings deals with one contact. A date is confirmed in writing, and to book one call (866) 435-6328. Our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival, and the work is timed around tenant hours wherever the building requires it.
We handle a clogged gutter on a commercial building the same way we handle any other run: the crew clears it, flushes the downspout and checks the flow. A leak we find during the visit is photographed and reported with its location, and we tell you whether the cause looks like a clog, a seam, or the slope of the roof itself. Our gutter cleaning process is written so you can check every step against the invoice.
Commercial buildings often share one roofline across several tenants, which is why we bill per building and keep the footage on file. The same crew handles the residential gutter cleaning work we do on the side for homeowners, and the same paperwork covers commercial and residential properties. Any site where we have cleaned clean gutters before is easier to schedule, because the crew already knows the access.
Each property gets a named account contact on our side, so a gutter company that cares about the building can answer questions without a call tree. If a clog from one roof is sending water down the siding onto a neighbor's wall, we say so and tell you when the crew can come back. Standing water on a flat roof is one of the common ways a neglected building can cause roof leaks inside a tenant space.
We price per building from its linear footage, height, gutter type and access, and we write the number down before the visit. The figure depends on those inputs, and it arrives in writing for each building.
The lease decides, not us, and the section above on who pays walks through the common lease types. We send the invoice to whichever party the lease names, and this is general information, not legal advice.
On the restaurants and flat roofs we service, quarterly is the usual schedule, because grease, leaves and grit settle faster there than on a standard building. The check between cleanings catches the first sign of a clogged drain.
Yes. We bring a boom or scissor lift and set up fall protection to match the building, and that setup is written into the quote. Tell us the height and we will confirm the access method in writing.
Yes. We schedule around tenant hours, check in with the on-site contact on arrival, and follow the building's access rules. Call (866) 435-6328 and tell us the hours you need.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the same visit, with a thorough cleaning and a before-and-after photo of each one. Anything we can't clear gets reported with its location.
After hail or heavy wind, managers usually find grit packed in the downspout elbows and debris blocking the drains on the lower roofs. We schedule post-storm call-outs as a separate visit and photograph what we find before any work begins. Clearing those runs quickly is how you protect your home from water coming through the fascia. Text a photo of the roofline to us and we will tell you what we see.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice and its own line in the schedule, and a recurring plan covers the whole portfolio from one contact. Ask for a written estimate for the first building and we will set the rest up from there.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
