We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building, priced from the footprint and height of each one, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job and a photo report when we finish. Our crew is ours and scheduled around your property, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. On Gainesville properties we see office, retail and multifamily buildings book us most often in spring and late fall, and after storm season.
Quoted per building from footage, height and gutter type, in writing, before anyone is dispatched. Scheduled service costs less than a call-out.
We offer gutter cleaning for commercial buildings, quoted per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. Nothing goes on a truck until you have the number, and that written figure covers the whole gutter cleaning process for the building.
What moves the quote is what we run into on the property. Height above three stories means a boom or scissor lift and the fall-protection setup that goes with it. A clog of compacted debris on a system that has not been cleaned in years takes longer to clear and to haul. A gutter guard or other gutter protection has to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleaned. Oversized or box gutters take more time per foot. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs are cleared as part of the job, and the number of buildings on one site changes how the crew is staged. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building for every gutter system we clean, and are not billed as extras. Any cleaning solutions a run needs are part of the per-building price. 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 already measured.
On the Gainesville properties we service, the first visit usually turns up one or two things the owner did not expect, such as a downspout discharging onto a walkway, where water damage can start, or a run that sags because a hanger has pulled. We photograph them and put them in the report. Each one goes through a final inspection before the crew leaves the site. What to do about them is your decision.
To quote a Gainesville 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. Call (866) 435-6328 or send those, and we will return a written quote per building, in the cleaning services format your accounts payable team expects.
| 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 Gainesville properties we service, most standard commercial buildings are cleaned twice a year, in spring and late fall, and that is the schedule we set up for most owners. Restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover go on a quarterly schedule, the tightest gutter maintenance interval we run.
What we pull out of these gutters tells us the timing. Storm season sends the managers who call us after a storm, and each post-storm inspection turns up debris that washed into runs and downspouts. Leaves, pollen and landscape debris load the gutters in the months that follow, and on the buildings with heavy canopy a blockage forms faster than on the open lots.
Flat roofs are the ones that surprise people. Parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up with no warning, and the overflow shows up only once water is standing on the membrane. The first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, and by then the water damage has already started, which is why the monthly check between cleanings is part of our gutter cleaning and maintenance on those buildings.
A restaurant gutter needs more frequent attention than the same run on an office, since grease and food debris bind with leaf mat and build a layer that our crew has to scrape out by hand. That is the reason restaurants sit on the quarterly list, not the semi-annual one.
| 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 services for commercial properties across Gainesville and the surrounding areas, including the business corridors and office parks where we have serviced properties. For a portfolio of several buildings, we provide gutter cleaning on one schedule, and one contact handles all of them: we confirm each date in writing, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. Tell us the gutter cleaning needs of each site and we work the calendar around them. Where the tenants ask, we time the work around their hours.
Lead time depends on the calendar and the size of the job. As a dedicated gutter company, we give you a date when we confirm the booking rather than promising one ahead of time. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you the first open day for your buildings.
We also do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners and businesses, and we work on commercial and residential properties under the same scheduling terms. A homeowner with one blocked run gets the same photo report as a property manager with ten buildings. Both residential and commercial jobs run on the same measurement rules. A clogged gutter that is left alone can start a leak into the fascia and siding within a season, and a blocked downspout can cause roof leaks at the seam where it meets the eave. Keeping the runs clear is how you protect your home or business from that damage, and the ask is the same on either kind of building.
We price it per building, and the number comes in writing for each one. Our quote depends on the linear footage of gutter, the height and the gutter type, and we tell you how each of those moved the number. Other gutter cleaners and gutter cleaning companies price differently, and ours is per building from measurements, so we do not quote a flat rate until we have them.
The lease decides, not us. Read the maintenance clause in your lease, which sets out who carries exterior upkeep, and the invoice goes to whichever party it names. This is not legal advice, so if the clause is unclear, ask the attorney who drafted it.
On the restaurants and flat-roof buildings we service in Gainesville, quarterly is the schedule that holds. Grease and debris bind in restaurant gutters, and flat roofs back up without warning, so the monthly check between cleanings matters on those buildings.
Yes. Above three stories we work from a boom or scissor lift under fall-protection rules, and we match the lift to the roofline. Tell us the height when you request the quote so the right equipment goes on the truck.
Yes. We schedule the work around tenant hours and any access rules you give us. Our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival so nobody is surprised by a ladder in the lot.
Both. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs are cleared as part of the job, because a thorough gutter cleaning that skips them leaves water with nowhere to go. A thorough cleaning means the drains get the same attention as the runs. We note anything we find in the photo report, and we do not repair it; the report gives you what we saw.
After a storm we see debris pushed into runs and downspouts and sometimes a pulled hanger or a split seam. We photograph each one and write it into the report so you can decide what to fix. Storm season is when most managers call us for an extra visit.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice with the linear footage shown, and we set up a recurring schedule across the properties you manage. Send the list of addresses and we will confirm the dates in writing for every building. If a building sits outside our service area, we will tell you before any dates are set.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
