We quote each commercial building in Fort Wayne separately, priced from its footprint and height. Fall protection or a boom or scissor lift goes on every job, and you get a photo report of every run afterward. Our crew is ours and scheduled, not a roofer working between re-roofs. We service office, retail and multifamily properties across the city, and most of our spring and fall bookings come from property managers planning ahead of the season.
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 building separately from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. The gutter system on each building is measured before the number goes out. Residential and commercial jobs are priced on the same footage-and-height basis, but this page is about commercial work.
On our jobs, the quote moves with height above three stories and the boom or scissor lift that requires under fall-protection rules. Compacted debris on a system nobody has cleaned in years takes longer than a routine run. A clog at a downspout elbow adds time before the run even starts. A gutter guard that has to be lifted and reseated adds time, and so do oversized or box gutters and roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs. Runs that tie into siding or fascia get checked on the photo walk, and anything we find is noted, not repaired without authorization. The number of buildings on one site matters too, because one mobilization can cover several. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras. A thorough gutter cleaning is priced on the footage it has to cover, not on a flat fee. Scheduled semi-annual or quarterly service is priced lower than a one-off call, because we already know the building and the footage is measured.
For a Fort Wayne property, we need the address or a site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and the name of whoever the invoice goes to. The gutter cleaning service is done by our own crew, and the final inspection is a photo walk of every run before we leave the site. We give the same cleaning solutions for a home or business, whether that is one office or a multi-building portfolio, and the number we write is the number we invoice. When you compare gutter cleaning companies, check what the number covers, not only the headline rate, and ask any gutter cleaners for the lift, the photo report and the total in writing. For commercial work we keep it simple: one building, one line, one written figure. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will send that figure back in writing.
| 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 of the Fort Wayne properties we service are on twice a year, spring and late fall, while restaurants, flat roofs and buildings under heavy tree cover run quarterly. Spring visits run late May to June across Indiana, and fall visits land in late October to November, ahead of the first hard freeze. Fort Wayne gets about 38.7 inches of precipitation a year, with May, July and August the wettest months, and its snow months run November through March, about 33.6 inches a year. Freezing is a real risk here, so the fall visit is the one that keeps standing water out of the drains before winter.
Across these properties the cleaning services we run follow the same cleaning process: flush, clear and photograph each run. The gutter cleaning process on a restaurant adds a grease check to the usual flush. What we pull out of a restaurant gutter at each visit is grease-laden debris that looks like a mat, and we would rather catch it early than let it build into a blockage. That is the kind of clogged gutter we want to find on a quarterly visit, not after a busy weekend. Left alone, a blocked run sends water over the edge, and that overflow is where staining and a leak usually start. The managers who call us after a storm are usually reporting debris that came off the roof in one sitting, and our post-storm inspections often turn up a pulled hanger or a split seam before anything else. Across Indiana the storm season brings supercells with hail and tornadoes, so a post-storm check is part of the plan rather than an extra.
Flat roofs are the ones we watch closest. Parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently, and the first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister. Standing water finds the first leak it can, usually at a seam or a fastener, and left alone it becomes water damage on the floor below. That is why the monthly check between cleanings exists, so a homeowner-style surprise never reaches the building manager. Flat-roof buildings have their own gutter cleaning needs, different from a pitched building, so the schedule should reflect that. Our professional gutter cleaning services for these buildings include the drain and scupper clearing, and we offer gutter cleaning on whatever schedule the property needs, whether that is a monthly walk or a quarterly 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 handle commercial properties across the city, from single offices to multi-site portfolios, with the same professional crew on every one. Our service area is Fort Wayne and the surrounding areas, and we provide gutter cleaning per building wherever the portfolio sits. If your properties sit across different parts of Fort Wayne, one scheduling contact covers all of them, and each building gets its own invoice and its own photo report.
A property manager working with us gets one date confirmed in writing for each building. To lock in that first date, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline. Our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival, and work is timed around tenant hours where asked. We keep residential gutter jobs and commercial jobs on separate schedules, so a commercial crew is never pulled off a roof to cover a house. For property owners with mixed holdings, we also do residential gutter cleaning, and we handle the residential and commercial portfolio under one account. Owners who hold commercial and residential properties get one calendar, and we serve homeowners and businesses the same way. For a homeowner in the portfolio, that same schedule helps protect your home from water running down the walls.
Gutter maintenance on a commercial roof is a planned job, and we treat it that way. Scheduling is part of gutter cleaning and maintenance, not a separate job we bolt on. A landscape that drops seeds or needles onto the roof can cause roof leaks if the drains back up, which is why our schedules account for the trees on each site. The crew arrives prepared to clean gutters and drains in one visit, and our gutter company records show the same crew returning to the same property season after season.
We price per building, and the number depends on linear footage, height and gutter type. We do not give figures here; the quote comes in writing for each building before anyone is dispatched. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will return a written estimate.
The maintenance clause of the lease sets the split. Check that clause, or the section above on who pays by lease type. This is not legal advice, so ask the attorney who drafted the lease if the clause is unclear.
On the properties we service, restaurants and flat roofs run on a quarterly schedule. Standard buildings do well twice a year. The restaurant gutters are where grease builds up fastest, so we check them between visits. Left alone, a clogged gutter overflows at the eave, and that overflow is what usually turns into a leak.
Yes. Above three stories we work from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection in place, and the lift is matched to the building. Height is the biggest factor in the quote, so send the stories and roof type when you ask.
Yes. We time the work around tenant hours where you ask, and we follow the site's access rules for gates, parking and roof entry. Tell us the access rules when you book, and our crew will check in with the on-site contact on arrival. Our service area is Fort Wayne and the surrounding areas, and the same access rules apply to every building.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the visit, including the strainer domes. Below-grade drain lines are cleared on request and quoted separately. Blockages we find are photographed and reported. The visit is a thorough cleaning of the drain path, not a surface sweep. Gutter protection such as guards is a separate quote and is not part of the cleaning.
After a severe storm we inspect the runs and downspouts, and the most common finds are debris packed into downspout elbows and a pulled hanger or split seam. We photograph anything we find and report it; repair is your call.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice showing the linear footage, and a recurring schedule can cover several properties under one account. Call (866) 435-6328 to set up the plan, or book a date and we will confirm it in writing.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
