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 when we finish. Our crew does this work on a schedule, not as a side job between roof replacements. Across Georgia our commercial work runs through the spring and the late fall, when property managers book their buildings ahead of leaf drop and storm season. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline to book a date.
Quoted per building from footage, height and gutter type, in writing, before anyone is dispatched. Scheduled service costs less than a call-out.
Our gutter cleaning service quotes per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. We confirm the address sits inside our service area first. What moves the quote on our jobs is height above three stories and the boom or scissor lift it needs under fall-protection rules, compacted debris on a gutter system that has not been cleaned in years, a gutter guard or other gutter protection that has to be lifted before the run can be cleared, a clog at a downspout elbow that adds time, oversized or box gutters, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and the number of buildings on one site. A gutter packed with debris will overflow at its lowest point, and the water runs down the siding, so that is where the crew starts. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras. A thorough gutter cleaning process covers the whole run, not just the sections the parking lot can see, so the price is set on the full footage. Buildings in the surrounding areas with heavy tree cover load faster, and they are quoted on the same footage basis. 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 a flat-roof building with internal drains, the quote is set once we have the stories, the roof type and the number of buildings on the site, and the invoice goes to the party the property manager names, one line per building. For a Columbus quote, send us the address or a site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who the invoice goes to, and we will write the number down before we schedule anything. Our protect your home approach is the same method a homeowner gets on a house, adjusted for the building type and the number of runs.
| 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 Columbus properties we service are on twice a year, spring and late fall, while restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover go on quarterly. Across Georgia, tropical remnants bring the storm season that changes the schedule, and the post-storm inspections turn up debris in the downspouts that the spring visit would have missed. Columbus gets about 54.4 inches of rain a year, and March, July and December are the wettest months, so a clogged gutter in any of them can cause roof leaks before the next visit. The month leaves start to load the gutters is the point where a late fall visit pays off, and the freeze risk on the Columbus properties we service is the reason the late fall visit is booked before the first cold week.
Flat roofs are where the schedule matters most. Parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without any warning, and the first thing a tenant notices is a leak, or a stained ceiling tile or a blister in the membrane. That is why the crew checks flat roofs between cleanings, so the managers who call us after a storm are working from what we have already seen rather than what they find on the ceiling. Our approach to a gutter system with mixed roof types is to set the cadence building by building, so one site can run on twice a year for the standard buildings and quarterly for the restaurant next door. Even a building with a gutter guard gets the final inspection, because debris still settles on the guard and into the downspouts below it. Each visit follows the same cleaning process, and the cadence is the working plan for any cleaning services your buildings need. Regular gutter maintenance on that cadence keeps each visit small. Tell us when a building changes use, because that is when the cadence changes too. Whether it is a home or business, the cadence follows the load the building carries, and that is set by the site, not by a calendar.
| 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 run commercial crews across Columbus, and our crew works from one scheduling contact for every building in a portfolio. Whether you run one building or a portfolio, we work as one gutter company with one contact, and the same crew handles residential and commercial jobs on the same route. Each date is confirmed in writing, and the crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival, with work timed around tenant hours when the property manager asks for it. For a multi-building or multi-site portfolio we keep the buildings on a single schedule, so the board or owner sees one invoice per building and one photo report per site. Our professional gutter cleaning services cover standard commercial buildings as well as flat roofs with internal drains, and we offer gutter cleaning on the residential gutter jobs that homeowners and businesses ask us to fit into the same route. We provide gutter cleaning for the landscape around older buildings where leaves pile against the foundation, and we clear the blockage at the downspout outlets before we leave. Where water damage shows up on a wall or a soffit, the crew photographs it and puts it in the report, because our gutter cleaning and maintenance work is the cleaning, not the repair that follows. Share your gutter cleaning needs building by building, and we will match the cleaning solutions to each one, whether that is a one-off visit or a scheduled run. Tell us the building and the date you need, and we will confirm the crew for it. We also do residential gutter cleaning, and a homeowner across Columbus gets the same crew. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline to book a date.
I quote per building from the footage, the height and the gutter type, and the number comes in writing for each building before we schedule it. Some gutter cleaning companies bill by the hour, and some gutter cleaners quote a flat rate per property, so ask what the number covers.
The lease decides, so read the maintenance section and see the lease section above for how each lease type reads. This is not legal advice, and the invoice goes to whichever party the lease names.
On the restaurants and flat roofs we service, we are on quarterly, because grease and internal drains load the gutters faster than leaves alone.
Yes. We bring a boom or scissor lift for those buildings, and the crew works tied off on every job.
Yes. We time the work around tenant hours when the property manager asks, and we check in with the on-site contact on arrival.
We clear both, and the strainer domes get reseated before we leave. Call (866) 435-6328 to set a date.
Our post-storm calls turn up debris in the downspouts and drains that the last visit would have missed, and the crew photographs each one so the gutters come back clean and you know what was found.
Yes. We set up one schedule for commercial and residential properties alike, with one invoice per building. Text a photo of the roofline to (866) 435-6328 and we will set it up.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
