We quote commercial gutter service per building in Mount Prospect, priced from each building's footprint and height. Every job gets fall protection or a boom or scissor lift, and you get a photo report of each run after the crew leaves.
Our crew is ours and scheduled. We do not fit gutter work in between roofing jobs. Across Illinois we clean office, retail and multifamily buildings, usually on a spring and late fall calendar.
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 each gutter cleaning service per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched.
Four things move the quote on our jobs. A building above three stories needs a boom or scissor lift and the fall-protection setup that goes with it. Compacted debris on a system nobody has cleaned in years takes longer to clear than a seasonal load. Gutter protection, such as guards that have to be lifted and reseated, adds time, and so do oversized or box gutters. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs are priced separately from the gutter runs. Overflow that runs down the wall also gets checked for staining on the siding below each run. The number of buildings on one site matters too, because we set up once and clean several.
Gutter cleaning companies price the same building in different ways, so we put the basis in writing. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not 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 already measured.
On a Mount Prospect job, what sets the quote is the property type, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and what we find when we get on the roof. To quote your building we need the address or a site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings, and the name of the party the invoice goes to. Once we have that, a clog or an overflow problem gets diagnosed on the same visit, and the thorough gutter cleaning is scoped to what the system needs.
| 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 Mount Prospect properties we service are on a twice-a-year schedule, spring and late fall, and the restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover go on quarterly. Each gutter system gets its gutter maintenance on that calendar, so the dates are booked before the season starts.
The cleaning services we schedule follow one gutter cleaning process on every visit: clear each run, flush each downspout, check the drain outlets and send the photos. On a restaurant gutter we pull out grease-bound debris every second month. Where a gutter guard is fitted, the guard is lifted for the run and reseated. The managers who call us after a storm usually want a final inspection of the runs before the next season, and that is where a loose hanger or a split seam turns up.
On a flat roof, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without any warning, and the cleaning solutions we pick depend on what is clogging the drain. The first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists. A property manager with a mixed portfolio of commercial and residential properties can run one schedule for all of it, and whether it is a home or business, the same photo report comes with the job.
| 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 provide gutter cleaning for commercial properties across Mount Prospect, and our professional gutter cleaning services reach the business corridors where we have serviced buildings. Mount Prospect sits inside our service area, along with the surrounding areas we already cover. A property manager gets one contact for every building in the portfolio, and a date is confirmed in writing before the crew goes out. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will set the date.
On arrival our crew checks in with the on-site contact, and if a tenant or a board asks for work timed around business hours, we schedule it that way. Residential gutter cleaning on a single house runs on the same booking process as a multi-site order, and a clean run helps protect your home from water damage, so a homeowner who also has a commercial site gets one invoice format.
We cover the landscape of tree-lined lots and open parking fields alike, and we know that a single blockage at a downspout can mean water damage inside a unit. Our crews serve homeowners and businesses alike. We offer gutter cleaning and maintenance on one schedule for each site, sized to the gutter cleaning needs of that building.
We price per building. Linear footage, height and gutter type set the number, and we put it in writing for each building before anyone is dispatched. Gutter cleaners price from measured footage, so we do not give a figure over the phone without measurements.
The lease decides, not us. The responsibility section above sets out how the three lease types usually read. This is not legal advice, so check the maintenance clause of your lease or ask the attorney who drafted it. On our invoices we name whichever party the lease points to.
On the restaurants and flat roofs we service in Mount Prospect, quarterly gutter maintenance is the schedule that holds. Grease and debris build up faster on a restaurant run, and a clogged gutter there can cause roof leaks before anyone notices. Internal drains on a flat roof stop draining without warning, and the first sign is often a leak.
Yes. Commercial buildings above three stories get the job done from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection set up before anyone climbs. Tell us the height when you request the quote so the lift is booked for the right job.
Yes. We schedule around tenant hours and site access rules when you tell us what they are. As a gutter company, we confirm those rules before the crew arrives, and on arrival our crew checks in with the on-site contact and keeps the work area clear of walkways.
Both. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs are cleared of debris and the strainer domes reseated, and they are quoted separately from the gutter runs so you see each line.
After a severe storm we get calls about gutters pulled from the fascia, a clogged gutter with overflow running down the wall, and downspouts blocked with debris. We come out, clear the blockage and photograph what the storm did so you have a record for any claim.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice showing the linear footage, and a recurring schedule for several properties is set up once with one contact, so the portfolio is one account on our side. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of each roofline and we will put the dates in writing.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
