We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building, priced from each building's footprint and height, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job and a photo report when we finish. The crew doing the work is ours and scheduled around your property, not a roofer's side job squeezed between re-roofs. Our Sandy Springs crew services office, retail and multifamily properties, mostly booking 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.
Every gutter cleaning service we sell is quoted 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 requires under fall-protection rules, compacted debris on a system nobody has cleaned in years, a gutter guard that has to be lifted to reach the channel, oversized or box gutters, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and how many buildings sit on one site.
Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras, and any overflow stain on the siding below the eave is noted in the photo report rather than sold as a separate job. A scheduled semi-annual or quarterly service is priced lower per visit than a one-off call, because the crew already knows the property and the footage is already measured. Gutter protection on the building is counted in the quote, not added later, because it has to come off before the channel can be reached. A gutter that still overflows after a clean usually has a slope problem; we photograph it and report it rather than selling a second cleaning, because a clear run is how you protect your home from water damage at the foundation. Left alone, that overflow often shows up as a leak at the fascia before anyone sees it from the ground.
On a recent Sandy Springs office building with two stories and a flat roof, the quote turned on the internal roof drains and the debris packed into the scuppers, which needed a second pass. The number was set from the building's linear footage and the drain count, and the photo report listed each drain before and after. Send us the address or a site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who the invoice goes to, and we will write the quote from there. A thorough cleaning clears the clog and the blockage at the scupper outlets, which is the usual surprise on flat roofs, and a thorough gutter cleaning is what keeps the overflow off the property manager's desk.
| 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 Sandy Springs properties we service, most are on twice a year, spring and late fall, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees on quarterly. The cleaning services we run on a schedule follow the same gutter cleaning process each visit: the runs are cleared, every downspout is flushed, and a final inspection is photographed before we leave. Across the commercial and residential properties we handle here, the ones that need the most frequent visits are where the gutter system drains into a small number of outlets.
What we pull out of a restaurant gutter every second month is grease-laden debris that a twice-a-year visit would let set hard. Post-storm call-outs from our crew after tropical remnants come through across Georgia tend to show downspouts packed with wet leaf mat, and the managers who call us after a storm usually want the same crew back on the next scheduled date. Store-bought cleaning solutions do not loosen packed leaf mat, which is why the work is physical clearing rather than a spray. Pollen and leaves load the gutters through the spring and fall, and most gutter cleaners time their big visit to that load, so our twice-yearly visit is timed around it too.
On flat roofs, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently. The first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, which is why we run the monthly check between cleanings where the property calls for it. Gutter cleaners who only come out after an overflow miss that slow build-up, and a clogged gutter on a flat roof can stay quiet until water reaches a ceiling. Most gutter cleaning companies price a one-off call without the footage in hand, which is how bills get revised on site. A homeowner with a single gutter line may need only one visit a year, but a multi-building site with flat roofs is a different schedule, and we set the gutter maintenance building by 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 the business districts, corridors and business parks of Sandy Springs and the surrounding areas where we have already serviced properties, and we handle commercial properties and multi-site portfolios the same way: one contact for every building, a date confirmed in writing, and our crew checking in with the on-site contact on arrival. Where tenants are in the building during work, we time the job around their hours if asked. A gutter that overflows at the same spot every storm is how water damage starts at the foundation, so we flag it in the report. Properties set in a dense landscape, with trees overhanging the roofline, are on the quarterly schedule described above. Commercial buildings get the same fall-protection and lift setup whether there is one or twenty of them. Our professional gutter cleaning services run the same procedure on each building in a portfolio, so the invoices match the buildings.
We also offer gutter cleaning and maintenance for residential and commercial properties, and we provide gutter cleaning on single buildings as readily as on portfolios. Our commercial work is the focus of this page, but we also do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners and businesses in the same service area, and the same crew handles commercial and residential properties. For a landlord with a mixed portfolio of commercial units and residential buildings, one schedule covers both, and the photo report is sent for each building separately. Whether it is a home or business, you get the same written quote and the same photo report. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline to book a date, and tell us your gutter cleaning needs and building count so the quote comes back in writing.
We price it per building, and the number depends on the stories, the total linear footage and what is actually sitting in the gutters. 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 see the section above for how each lease type is usually read. This is not legal advice.
Most buildings stay on a twice-a-year schedule to keep clean gutters in place. On our Sandy Springs jobs, restaurants and flat-roof buildings with internal drains are on a quarterly schedule, because grease and debris build up faster than a twice-a-year visit can keep up with.
Yes. We work from a boom or scissor lift matched to the building, with fall protection on every job. Tell us the height when you call at (866) 435-6328 and we will confirm the setup in the quote.
Yes. Send us the access rules and the hours you need, and our crew will schedule and check in on arrival.
Both. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs are cleared of debris and the strainer domes reseated, and each one is photographed in the report.
The post-storm call-outs most often turn up downspouts packed with wet leaf mat and sagging runs that held standing water. Left like that, a clogged gutter can cause roof leaks, and a leak at the fascia is usually the first sign. Text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you whether it is a cleaning job or something to report.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice and photo report, and a recurring schedule can be set for the whole portfolio. Any gutter company worth hiring for a portfolio should be able to do the same. Ask for a written estimate or book a date at (866) 435-6328.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
