We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building, priced from each building's footprint and height. Fall protection or a boom or scissor lift goes on every job, and you get a photo report of every run when we finish. We are the crew that does the work, scheduled to your property, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Across Florida, our commercial clients book us in spring and late fall, before the wet season and the autumn leaf drop.
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 professional gutter cleaning services per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. Height is the biggest single factor: above three stories we bring a boom or scissor lift and set fall protection before the crew climbs. A clog that has built up for years in a system nobody has cleaned takes longer to clear and haul, and a gutter guard that must be lifted and reseated adds time on each run. The size of the gutter system, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and the number of buildings on one site all move the number. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are never billed as extras. 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.
On commercial properties, the quote starts with a walk of the property, or a site plan if you have one. We need the address, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings, and who the invoice goes to. Once we have those, the quote arrives in writing, with the linear footage shown for each building so a board or an owner can check it. The cleaning process is the same on every building: fall protection set, gutters cleared by hand or vacuum, every downspout flushed until it runs clear, roof drains and scuppers checked, and debris bagged and removed from site. Our crew's final inspection photographs each run before we leave, so the manager has a record of what was done.
Gutter cleaners price a commercial site differently from a single house, and we say so on the quote. Many gutter cleaning companies quote one flat number for a whole site; we price per building, so a property manager can see exactly what each building costs and approve it building by building. Cleaning solutions for gutters are rarely the issue; the cost is in access, height and time on the ladder or lift. We provide gutter cleaning for residential and commercial work on the same crew and the same fall-protection rules, which is why a homeowner with one house and a property manager with a portfolio get a quote built the same way. If you run a home or business portfolio across the county line, one written quote covers every building on the list.
| 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 of the Margate properties we service are on a twice-a-year schedule, spring and late fall, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover moved to quarterly. Across Florida the hurricane season and the storm months are the dates managers call us after, when we are asked to check the gutters on every building in a portfolio. On our jobs, the spring visit clears the seed and pollen load, and the fall visit clears the wet leaf mat before the rain season ends. Margate gets about 56.5 inches of rain a year, with June, August and September the wettest months, and a clog that forms in those months is what makes a gutter overflow. Professional gutter cleaning services on a set calendar keep the roofline clear before those months arrive.
What we pull out of a restaurant gutter every second month is grease-laden debris and fryer exhaust residue, which packs the downspouts faster than anything else on our route. A standard office building, by comparison, mostly sheds leaves and grit. Gutter maintenance on a residential gutter runs on the same schedule logic, and the landscape around a building sets much of the load: a building beside heavy trees needs more visits, while a building in open ground can go a season longer. A thorough gutter cleaning stops the water damage that shows up when a schedule slips, usually at a fascia board or a soffit where a blocked run has backed water behind the gutter.
Flat roofs deserve their own note. Parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently, and the first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile, a membrane blister, or a dark streak down the siding. That is why the monthly check between cleanings exists on those buildings, and why the quarterly visit includes a look at every drain outlet. We offer gutter cleaning and maintenance on that basis, and we will tell you which buildings need the monthly check and which do not, because gutter maintenance follows the building. Gutter cleaning needs differ by building, and the schedule should follow the building rather than a fixed rule.
| 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 covers the business corridors and commercial blocks of Margate and the surrounding areas, and we service commercial buildings and commercial and residential properties on the same route. For a property manager with several buildings, scheduling runs through one contact: you give us the list, we confirm each date in writing, and the crew checks in with the on-site contact when they arrive. Work can be timed around tenant hours where that is asked for, so a retail or office tenant is not disrupted during open hours. If a building has a clogged gutter that is already leaking, we flag it on the quote so the leak is addressed on the day, not a second visit later. Ignoring a blockage in the gutter system is how a gutter becomes a leak that can cause roof leaks inside the building, which is the call most managers want to avoid.
Multi-site commercial properties work the same way. One quote lists every building with its own footage and height, and one invoice can be split by building if the owner or the tenant is billed separately. We are a gutter company that does one job at a time, and every building gets a thorough cleaning, so the crew on your buildings is the crew that cleaned them last season, and the photos from that visit are on file for comparison. Residential gutter cleaning for homeowners is available on the same route, and this route serves homeowners and businesses alike with the same gutter cleaning process we follow on commercial work. To set up a site, call (866) 435-6328 or send a site plan and the list of addresses.
We price per building on commercial properties, with the linear footage shown on the quote, so you can check each building against the rest. The number depends on the building's height, the gutter type and how much debris has built up. You get the figure in writing before we are dispatched.
The lease decides, not us. Read the maintenance clause in your lease, or ask the attorney who drafted it, and send us the name of the party the invoice should go to. This is not legal advice, and the lease section above covers the common lease types.
On the Margate restaurants and flat roofs we service, quarterly is the schedule that holds. Grease and debris pack the downspouts faster than leaves do, and flat-roof drains back up without warning. We add a monthly check on flat roofs between cleanings.
Yes. Above three stories we bring a boom or scissor lift and set fall protection before anyone climbs, so the height is handled by the equipment. Tell us the stories when you request the quote and we will confirm the lift we need.
Yes. We will time the work around tenant hours and sign in with the on-site contact on arrival. Send us the access rules for the building and we will follow them on every visit.
Both. We clear the gutters, flush the downspouts, and check and clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the same visit. Anything we find that needs repair is photographed and reported, and gutter protection such as a guard is not part of this visit.
Storm call-outs are where we most often find a clog of debris packed into downspouts and drains that were clean three months earlier. We clear what the storm dropped, photograph each run, and flag any hanger, seam or siding that needs a look. Clearing the drains after a storm helps protect your home or business from water damage. Call (866) 435-6328 to book the post-storm visit.
Yes. We invoice per building, and one recurring schedule can cover several properties with one contact. Text us a photo of the roofline and the building list, and we will send back a written estimate and a schedule you can approve.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
