We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning in St. Petersburg per building, priced from footprint and height. Fall protection or a boom or scissor lift goes on every job, and you get a photo report of every run once we finish. The crew is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Most of our St. Petersburg work is commercial buildings: offices, retail and multifamily. Most of them book with us ahead of 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 commercial gutter work per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. Each building class starts from its own base rate, and the written quote is the final number for a thorough gutter cleaning of every run.
Four things move the quote on our St. Petersburg service jobs. Height above three stories means a boom or scissor lift and the fall-protection setup that goes with it. Compacted debris and a clog in a gutter system nobody has cleaned in years take more time per run. A gutter guard that has to be lifted and reseated adds labor, and so does gutter protection that has to come off a whole run. Oversized or box gutters cost more per foot than standard profile. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs and the number of buildings on one site change the crew time as well. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras, and a clog found at a downspout gets cleared on the same visit. Any overflow onto siding costs more to fix than the cleaning itself, so the back wall gets checked first. 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 measured.
On one of our commercial jobs, the quote was set by a three-story office building with a flat roof, internal drains and four separate downspout runs on the back wall, where the back gutter had not been opened in years. The number went in writing before the truck left, and the crew cleared the internal drains along with the gutters before a final inspection of the drains closed out the visit. The first thing the property manager needs from us is the address or a site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and the name of who receives the invoice. With those, we can write the quote for a St. Petersburg property the same week.
| 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 St. Petersburg properties we service are on twice-yearly cleaning services, and across Florida the spring visit lands in mid to late April and the fall visit in November to December. Restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees usually run quarterly. Plenty of gutter cleaners only offer one visit a year, but the schedule that fits your building depends on what it sheds and what it drains onto.
Storm season across Florida is when the post-storm inspections turn up the most damage, from bent hangers to downspouts pulled from the wall, and the managers who call us after a storm usually want the runs checked before the next rain. Leaves, pollen and landscape debris load the gutters on a seasonal cycle. St. Petersburg averages about 56 inches of rain a year, and the wettest months, July through September, are when a blockage first shows up as overflow down the wall.
On flat roofs, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without any warning. The first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, and that is how water damage starts, which is why the monthly gutter maintenance check between cleanings exists. On restaurant buildings, what we pull out of a gutter every second month is grease-laden debris that does not wash out with water alone. Ask us which cleaning solutions are safe for your roof membrane before the crew arrives.
One standard office building on twice-yearly service and one restaurant on quarterly service are the pattern we see most in St. Petersburg. Each scheduled visit is a thorough cleaning of every run, not a rinse. Each is set up with the building type and the schedule in writing, and the invoice is per building.
| 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 cover St. Petersburg and the surrounding areas, the business districts and corridors where we have serviced commercial properties, and we bring the same crew, lift and fall-protection setup to each site. Our professional gutter cleaning services are scheduled with the property manager, and a multi-building portfolio gets one contact for every building. Anything at the edge of our service area is confirmed against the address before we quote.
Scheduling works like this: one contact handles all the buildings, the date is confirmed in writing, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. Where the building has tenants during business hours, we time the work around tenant hours if you ask us to. Lead time is set when we confirm the date, so the schedule is not promised in advance.
We also handle residential and commercial work for each homeowner and business in the area. A residential gutter gets the same written quote as a commercial one, and the same crew serves commercial and residential properties alike. Clear runs help protect your home or business from water damage, but this page is about the commercial work. For a multi-building site, the invoice is per building, and the crew works through the portfolio on one visit, where we provide gutter cleaning for every building the lift and access allow. We offer gutter cleaning and maintenance on a recurring schedule, and the needs of each property are logged so the next visit starts from what we found last time. Tell us your gutter cleaning needs and call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline, and we will book a date in writing.
We price per building, and the number depends on the linear footage, the height and the gutter type. Some gutter cleaning companies quote one flat figure for the whole site, but each building gets its own written quote before we are dispatched, so you see the number for every structure on the site.
The lease decides, not us. The maintenance clause in your lease sets who receives the invoice, and the lease-type breakdown above shows how the common cases read. This is not legal advice, so ask the attorney who drafted the lease if the clause is unclear.
On the St. Petersburg restaurants and flat-roof buildings we service, quarterly is the pattern, because grease and debris build up faster than on a standard building. Internal drains and parapets are checked between cleanings for the same reason.
Yes. Above three stories we bring a boom or scissor lift matched to the roofline, and the crew works tied off. Height is the biggest single factor in the quote, so tell us the stories when you request a price.
Yes. We time the work around tenant hours when you ask us to. The gutter cleaning process starts with a check-in with the on-site contact on arrival, so the access rules are followed from the start.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs along with the gutters, removing debris from the strainer domes and the scupper openings, because a blocked drain can turn into a leak and, over time, cause roof leaks inside the building. Anything else we find is photographed and put in the report.
After a severe storm, the post-storm call-outs usually turn up bent hangers, downspouts pulled from the wall and runs packed with storm debris, plus a clogged gutter run or two. We clear the runs and send photos of what we found, and what to repair is your decision.
Yes. Each building is invoiced separately, so no gutter company bill lands as one lump sum, and a recurring schedule for several properties runs through one contact with the dates confirmed in writing. The invoice for each building shows the linear footage so the owner or board can check it. To book a date, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the building.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
