We quote commercial gutter cleaning per building in Fort Lauderdale, priced from each building's footprint and height, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job and a photo report when we leave. Our crew is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. We work across Florida, and property managers and facilities leads book us in the spring and fall, when the seed, pollen and storm debris are heaviest on the roofline.
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 every commercial gutter cleaning service per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. The number we quote is the number on the invoice, for every one of our cleaning services. To get that number, call (866) 435-6328 for a written quote.
What moves the quote on our jobs is height, since a thorough gutter cleaning on a tall building needs a lift. Above three stories we bring a boom or scissor lift, and the setup time goes into the price. A clogged gutter, packed solid on a system nobody has cleaned in years, takes longer to clear than a maintained run. Gutter protection, meaning a gutter guard that has to be lifted and reseated, adds time, as do oversized or box gutters and the roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs. The number of commercial buildings on one site matters too, because a scheduled site is priced differently from a single building called in alone. 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, since the crew already knows the building and the footage is already measured.
On a recent commercial job we quoted a multi-story office building where the height and the lift set the price more than the footage did. The crew cleared the runs, flushed every downspout and photographed each section for the property manager. The case is linked from our project pages. For any Fort Lauderdale property, we need the address or a site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings, and who the invoice goes to. We also need to know whether the gutters have gone without cleaning for a long time, since that changes the time on the ladder.
Our service area takes in the surrounding areas, and the same quoting method covers each building in a multi-site portfolio. A clean gutter system is how you protect your home or business from overflow, so on every visit we run a thorough cleaning of each downspout and drain, and if a gutter is showing signs of overflow onto the siding or a clog, we say so in the report.
| 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 Fort Lauderdale properties we service are on twice a year, in spring and late fall, while restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover go on quarterly. On the properties we clean, the spring visit clears the seed and pollen that packs the downspout elbows, and the fall visit clears the wet leaf mat that sags gutters under load.
Hurricane season across Florida is the other trigger. The managers who call us after a storm usually want the runs checked for pulled hangers and debris, and that is where the post-storm inspections turn up the most work. Flat roofs are a different problem. Parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without a sound, and Fort Lauderdale gets 64.2 inches of rain a year, with June, September and October the wettest months, which is when a blocked drain on a flat roof gets tested hardest. The first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile, a leak at the parapet or a membrane blister. A blocked scupper is one of the quickest ways to cause roof leaks. That is why the monthly check between cleanings is part of our gutter maintenance, and why we walk the roof rather than only the gutter line.
When we clean a restaurant gutter, the grease and cooking residue we pull out every second month is the reason the schedule is shorter. On a restaurant roof the grease needs its own cleaning solutions, a step the leaf-mat visits do not need. Our crews clean the gutter system the same way on every property, and the gutter cleaning process is the same whether the client is a homeowner or a business, residential and commercial alike. Each visit ends with a final inspection and a photo report, so the property manager can see what changed since the last cleaning.
| 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 professional gutter cleaning services cover commercial properties across Fort Lauderdale, and for the surrounding areas we cover from the same crews. We provide gutter cleaning for every building in a portfolio through one contact, so a property manager with several sites deals with one person and gets a date confirmed in writing. Our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival, and work can be timed around tenant hours where asked. Lead time depends on the schedule, so we give the date when we book it rather than promising a fixed slot. To book, call (866) 435-6328.
We offer gutter cleaning and maintenance for multi-building sites, and the same crew handles the gutter cleaning needs of a single office or a row of retail units. We serve homeowners and businesses alike, and residential gutter jobs run on the same crews, but this page is about commercial work. Where a problem sits outside the gutter line, such as a blockage behind a scupper or water damage at the fascia, we photograph it and describe it in the report so the building owner can decide what happens next. Our crew works around the landscape and the parking lots, so debris stays off the beds.
We price it per building, and the number depends on the linear footage, the height and the gutter type. Some gutter cleaning companies quote a per-foot rate over the phone, and that usually leaves out the lift and the setup, so we write the total from a site plan or a satellite measurement and you see it before we dispatch anyone.
The lease decides, not us. Read the maintenance clause in your lease, and see the lease-type breakdown in the section above. This is general information, not legal advice, so ask the attorney who drafted the lease if the clause is unclear.
On the restaurants and flat-roof properties we service, quarterly is the schedule that keeps the drains and scuppers clear. A blocked scupper is one of the quickest ways to cause roof leaks, and the grease we pull from restaurant gutters every second month is the reason for the shorter interval.
Yes. Above three stories, which is common on commercial buildings, we bring a boom or scissor lift and work under fall-protection rules, so the crew is tied off or on the lift for the entire job. The lift setup is part of the quote for the building.
Yes. We time the work around tenant hours where asked and check in with the on-site contact when we arrive. Send us the access rules with the quote request so the crew knows the gate, the parking and the entry points before the truck arrives.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the visit, along with the gutters and downspouts. Our gutter cleaners clear any blocked drain or scupper, and a clogged gutter on the same roof gets the same treatment. If a component is cracked or failed, we photograph it and put it in the report.
Hurricane season across Florida is when the post-storm call-outs come in, and the same inspection applies to commercial and residential properties. The most common findings are pulled hangers, debris packed into the runs and downspouts pulled from their outlets, any of which can lead to a leak at the fascia. We inspect the runs, clear what we can, and report anything that needs repair.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice with the linear footage shown, so a board or an owner can check it. For several properties we set up one recurring schedule under a single contact, which is easier to manage than booking each building with a different gutter company. The dates are booked a season ahead.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
