We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building in Thornton, priced from the footprint and height of each structure. Every job runs with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift, and you get a photo report of every run when we are done.
The crew is ours and scheduled. We do not fit gutter work in between re-roofs for a roofing company, so the person who quotes the building is the person who climbs it.
We have worked across Colorado for office, retail and multifamily properties, and most of our commercial bookings come in before 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 each commercial building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched.
Four things move the quote on our jobs. Height is the first: a building above three stories needs a boom or scissor lift and fall protection set up before the crew can work the back runs. The second is compacted debris, because a system that has not been cleaned in years takes longer to clear and haul than a maintained one. A gutter guard that has to be lifted and reseated adds time, and so do oversized or box gutters and the roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs. The number of buildings on one site also matters, since a multi-building property is quoted as one visit with one set of setup costs.
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 footage is already measured and the dates are booked ahead. A homeowner with one building gets the same written per-building quote, with the footage and height shown.
On a Thornton office property we serviced, the quote came from three stories, a flat roof with internal drains and four buildings on one site. The crew found a clogged scupper on the rear building and photographed it for the property manager, with the full report at the case link.
To quote a Thornton property we need the address or site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings, and who the invoice goes to. Our cleaning services cover the full cleaning process from the first measurement through the final inspection, and we bring the same approach to our cleaning solutions for residential and commercial work, whether it is a home or business. Plenty of gutter cleaning companies quote from a phone call, but we quote from the measurement, in writing, and our gutter cleaners work from the gutter system up, so nothing is left to guess at on the day. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the building and we will send the written quote.
| 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.
On the Thornton properties we service, most are on twice a year, spring and late fall, while restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover run quarterly.
What we pull out of these gutters tracks the season. Across Colorado, hail season dents gutters and washes shingle grit into the runs, and the managers who call us after a storm usually have a downspout that is packed solid. Spring brings the pollen load and seed drop, and in the fall the wet leaf mat settles into the elbows before the first freeze.
A flat roof is different. Parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without any warning, and water can overflow the parapet before anyone notices. The first thing a tenant usually sees is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister. That is why we do the monthly check between cleanings on those buildings, not just the scheduled visit.
On a restaurant gutter we clear every second month, because the grease and food residue that gets carried up into the runs builds up faster than any other property type we see. Where it is a standard office or retail building, twice a year covers the load.
Our crews run professional gutter cleaning services for residential gutter jobs as well, and the landscape around a building often decides how fast a run fills. Water damage starts at the fascia, the siding and the foundation when a blockage goes unnoticed, and we would rather catch it on the schedule than on the invoice. We provide gutter cleaning and maintenance on whatever cadence the property needs, and we offer gutter cleaning for homeowners and businesses alike, with each schedule set for the property rather than a single template. Tell us about your gutter cleaning needs and we will set the first 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 have serviced commercial buildings across Thornton's business corridors and office clusters and the surrounding areas, and our crews know the access patterns of these sites, including loading docks, rear lots and tenant entries.
For a property manager with several buildings, scheduling runs through one contact. We confirm each date in writing, and the crew checks in with the on-site contact when they arrive. Where a tenant needs work timed around business hours, we set the start time to suit them. A clogged gutter that goes unchecked can leak into a suite, and a single missed run can cause roof leaks that show up months later, which is why the portfolio view matters. Call (866) 435-6328 to book a date for your portfolio, and we will confirm it in writing.
For a commercial buildings portfolio we handle the scheduling, the measurement and the invoice per building, so the gutter company work reads cleanly in your records. We also do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners on the same per-building approach. The gutter cleaning process is the same across commercial and residential properties, whether it is a single office or a multi-site portfolio.
Lead times vary by property and season, so we confirm the first available date when you call. Holding gutter maintenance to a fixed calendar keeps clean gutters from slipping between visits.
We price per building, and the number depends on the linear footage, the height and the gutter type. The quote covers a thorough cleaning of each building and comes in writing before anyone is dispatched.
Whichever party the lease names gets the invoice, and we confirm the billing party for each building in writing when we quote it.
On the restaurants and flat roofs we service in Thornton, the work runs quarterly, because grease and internal-drain blockages build faster than on a standard building. A clog left for a season can back up into the scupper and reach the ceiling below.
Yes. We set up a boom or scissor lift and fall protection for taller buildings, so a thorough gutter cleaning of the back runs is possible, and we confirm the setup for your building when we quote it.
Yes. Tell us the access rules and tenant hours and we will schedule the crew to fit them, and we check in with the on-site contact on arrival. We confirm up front whether your building falls inside our service area.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the visit, and we photograph anything we find that needs repair rather than repairing it ourselves. Gutter protection is a separate job and is not part of the cleaning quote.
After hail season and heavy storms, the call-outs we get most often turn up packed downspouts and grit-filled runs, and we clear them on the same visit. Clearing them fast helps protect your home from water running down the siding. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you what the crew needs.
Yes. We invoice each building separately and set one recurring schedule across your commercial properties, so the managers and owners on your side see clean records. Ask for a written estimate and we will set the dates.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
