We quote commercial cleaning in Schaumburg 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 of each run when we finish.
The crew doing the work is ours and scheduled on a fixed calendar, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. We service commercial buildings across the city, from offices and retail to multifamily, and most of our Schaumburg bookings come in before the spring and fall visits. Text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you what to expect.
Quoted per building from footage, height and gutter type, in writing, before anyone is dispatched. Scheduled service costs less than a call-out.
Our cleaning services are quoted per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, working from a site plan or a satellite measurement before anyone is dispatched. Ask for a written estimate on professional gutter cleaning services and the crew sends it with the scope spelled out for each building.
Height is the first thing that moves the number on our jobs. Above three stories the crew sets up a boom or scissor lift under fall-protection rules, and that setup takes time and equipment. After that comes compacted debris: a system that has not been cleaned in years takes longer than one cleaned every six months. A gutter guard that must be lifted and reseated, oversized or box gutters, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and the number of buildings on one site all add to the scope. 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.
For a home or business you have not had us on before, the quote starts with the address or a site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and the name of the party the invoice goes to. The same crew then runs the cleaning process and closes with a final inspection on each building, so you see what was cleared before you sign off. On a commercial gutter system with several downspouts per building, that inspection is where we catch a clog the quote did not show. Our cleaning solutions are matched to the material of the gutter, so a steel run and an aluminum run are not handled the same way.
We also run residential and commercial jobs for facilities teams that manage more than one site, and the quote shows each building on its own line. Call (866) 435-6328 for the number on a specific building.
| 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 Schaumburg properties we service, most are on twice a year, spring and late fall, while restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover run quarterly.
Across Illinois the storm season brings summer derechos and severe thunderstorms, and the managers who call us after a storm are usually asking about debris that washed into the downspouts overnight. Post-storm inspections turn up pulled hangers and shingle grit packed into the outlets. Leaves, pollen and landscape debris load the gutters on a predictable schedule, which is why the spring and fall visits are timed to them, and a blockage that builds between visits is what the schedule is meant to catch. Freezing is a real factor here, so the late fall visit is the one that keeps standing water from freezing in the runs and causing water damage over winter.
Flat roofs are where we see the most trouble that nobody notices. Parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently, and the first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister. That is why the monthly check between cleanings exists on the quarterly plans. A restaurant gutter, on the other hand, is a grease and debris problem every few weeks, which the quarterly visit is sized for. We provide gutter cleaning on these schedules for both homeowners and facilities teams who want one contact across the portfolio.
Gutter cleaning and maintenance on a schedule costs less per visit than a one-off call, because the crew already knows the building and the footage is measured. Tell us your gutter cleaning needs by building and we will set the dates. Homeowners and businesses on a schedule get the same photo report on every visit.
| 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 commercial properties across Schaumburg and handle a multi-building or multi-site portfolio under one contract. Schaumburg is our service area, and we also cover the surrounding areas for portfolios that span more than one town. You get one contact for every building, a date confirmed in writing, and a crew that checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. Where asked, we time the work around tenant hours and keep the ladders clear of entrances during business time.
Gutter maintenance is handled per building, so a property manager with six sites gets six scoped quotes and one invoice per building. We run the same gutter cleaning process on every site, which keeps the photo reports consistent across the portfolio. Each building gets a thorough clean on every visit, and the report confirms the work run by run. For a clogged gutter that is already causing an overflow onto a walkway, we flag it in the first visit so the next scheduled visit is not the first time anyone sees it. A leak that shows up after cleaning is usually a slope or seam problem, and we photograph and report it rather than promising a fix. Where a building already has gutter protection fitted, the crew lifts it, clears beneath, and reseats it.
We are a gutter company that also does residential gutter cleaning for each homeowner, and our gutter cleaners handle commercial and residential properties on separate invoices. Clean gutters on a commercial roof cut down on the water that can cause roof leaks inside the building, which is the failure most facilities teams are trying to prevent. The crew books by building, so a site with a short window still gets cleaned in one visit.
Call (866) 435-6328 to set the first date, or send the building list and we will return a scope for each one.
We quote per building for a thorough gutter cleaning, and the number depends on linear footage, height, gutter type and the number of downspouts. Some gutter cleaning companies price per linear foot, and that lands in a similar place once the building is measured. The figure comes in writing for each building before any crew is dispatched.
The lease decides, not us. The lease type and its maintenance clause set who gets the invoice, so check the section above for how each lease type reads, and ask the attorney who drafted yours if the clause is unclear. This is not legal advice.
On the restaurants and flat roofs we service, quarterly is the schedule that holds, because grease and internal drains back up faster than a standard gutter. Between visits the monthly check catches a blocked scupper before it causes an overflow down the siding or stains a ceiling tile.
Yes. Above three stories the crew works from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection in place. Tell us the stories and roof type when you send the address and the scope will show the lift needed.
Yes. We schedule around tenant hours where asked and keep the ladders and lift clear of entrances. Send the access rules with the building list and the crew follows them on every visit.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the scope, along with the gutter runs. A thorough cleaning means every drain is checked, not just the visible ones. Anything we find that needs repair is photographed and written into the report, not repaired without authorization.
After a severe storm the post-storm calls usually turn up debris washed into downspouts, and a clog of shingle grit packed into the outlets. We inspect and clear the affected runs and send photos of each one, so you know what was found. Clearing them quickly is how you protect your home from the next rain.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice and its own scope, and we offer gutter cleaning on a recurring schedule across several properties under one contact. Text a photo of the roofline or call (866) 435-6328 to start the list.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
