We quote commercial gutter jobs per building in Alpharetta, priced from the footprint and height of each roofline, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job and a photo report after. Our crew does this work on a schedule, not as a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Our Alpharetta properties are office, retail and multifamily buildings, and most of them book for 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 jobs per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. What moves the number on our jobs is height above three stories and the boom or scissor lift it takes to work safely under fall-protection rules, a clogged gutter packed with compacted debris on a system nobody has cleaned in years, a gutter guard or other gutter protection that has to come off to reach the gutter underneath, oversized or box gutters, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and how many buildings sit on one site. A clog at the bottom of a downspout means the water has nowhere to go, and it can overflow onto the siding before anyone notices. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are never billed as extras. A scheduled semi-annual or quarterly plan is priced lower than a one-off call, because the footage is already measured and the dates are booked ahead. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline, and we will send a written number for each building.
Our Alpharetta work for commercial properties starts with the building itself: a multi-tenant office with a flat roof and internal drains is a different job from a single-story retail strip with a long run of standard gutter. We need the address or site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who the invoice goes to before we set a gutter cleaning service date. On the properties we have cleaned here, the quote that held was the one that accounted for the roof drains and the lift access, not the footage alone. Thorough gutter cleaning takes longer than a quick pass, and a thorough cleaning of each building is priced for the time it takes. Clean gutters help protect your home or business from water running down the walls, so the quote is built from the building up. If you are comparing gutter cleaning companies, ask each one how they reach a four-story roofline and whether their price covers the surrounding areas under the drop points.
| 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 Alpharetta properties we service, most are on twice a year, spring and late fall. Restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover are on quarterly. What we pull out of a restaurant gutter every second month is grease, fryer exhaust residue and fallen leaves packed into the elbows. Storm season brings the managers who call us after a bad week of rain, and the post-storm inspections often turn up a loose hanger or a downspout that is backing up at the bottom. Leaves, pollen and landscape debris load the gutters hardest in spring and early fall, which is why those two visits are the core of the schedule. A blockage that sits through a wet season is how a small leak at a seam turns into water damage inside the building.
Flat roofs behave differently from pitched ones. Parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently, and the first sign a tenant sees is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister. That is why the monthly check between cleanings exists on flat-roof properties. Our crew also maintains a simple log of every visit so the cleaning services, the cleaning process and the final inspection line up for the property manager, whether the building is a single site or part of a larger portfolio. The same log covers gutter maintenance for residential and commercial accounts, so a homeowner's house and a restaurant on the same route are tracked the same way. The cleaning solutions we use are matched to the gutter system on each building, and we do not apply a blanket schedule to a property that does not need 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.
Our crew works the commercial corridors of Alpharetta where we have cleaned properties before, and we schedule a multi-building or multi-site portfolio through one contact. We work commercial buildings and the landscape around them, from the parking lot edge up to the roof, and the crew checks every drop point for water damage on each visit. A property manager gets one point of contact for every building, a date confirmed in writing, and a crew that checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. Work is timed around tenant hours where that is asked for. We provide gutter cleaning for commercial properties, and we also do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners and businesses with several sites, using the same professional gutter cleaning crew. A single homeowner with one house is booked the same way, and the same crew can take a mixed portfolio of offices and houses on one schedule. The service area covers the buildings we can reach in a single route, and we offer gutter cleaning and maintenance on a recurring calendar for any building that needs one. Tell us your gutter cleaning needs by calling (866) 435-6328 or texting a photo of the roofline, and we will book the date in writing.
We quote per building, and the number depends on the linear footage, the height and the gutter type on that building. Some gutter cleaners price by the foot, and the total lands in a similar place once height and access are counted. The number comes to you in writing for each building before we schedule the work.
The lease itself sets that, not state law. Read the maintenance clause and see which lease type you hold, then send us that clause and we will invoice the party it names. We do not give legal advice on leases, and the lease cases are set out in the section above.
On the restaurants and flat roofs we service, quarterly gutter maintenance is the schedule that holds. The grease and the internal drains clog faster than a standard gutter, and the monthly check between visits catches a blockage or a leak before a tenant sees a stain.
Yes. Buildings over three stories are done from a boom or scissor lift, and we set up fall protection on every job. Tell us the height when you request the quote so the right lift is booked for the date, because a gutter company that quotes without knowing the height is guessing.
Yes. We schedule around tenant hours where that is asked for, and we check in with the on-site contact on arrival. The gutter cleaning process starts with the access rules, so send them and the contact name with the request, and the crew follows them on the day.
We clear the roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the job, not as an add-on. A blocked scupper can cause roof leaks, so anything we find that needs repair is photographed and reported, and what to do about it is your decision.
Storm season brings managers to us after a bad week of rain, and the post-storm inspections often find a pulled hanger, a leak at a seam, or a clogged gutter backing water up at the downspout. We photograph each run and report what we find, then schedule the cleaning on the building's normal calendar or sooner if the damage calls for it.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice with the footage shown, and a recurring schedule can cover commercial and residential properties under one contact. Call (866) 435-6328 or send your site list and we will set up the calendar.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
