We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building in Gary, priced from the footprint and height of each one, 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 ahead, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Across Indiana our crews clean office, retail and multifamily properties, and most of our bookings come in spring and late fall.
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 commercial gutters per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. The quote covers the cleaning services a building actually needs, so you know the number before the crew arrives. Some gutter cleaning companies price a whole site as one number, so we split it per building to keep each invoice checkable.
Height is the biggest single factor. Above three stories the job is done from a boom or scissor lift, and the lift and its fall-protection setup are priced into the building. Compacted debris on a system nobody has cleaned in years takes longer than a light seasonal load, and a gutter guard that has to be lifted and reseated adds time. Every gutter system is measured on its own, and oversized or box gutters, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and the number of buildings on one site each change the scope of the job. Greasy debris needs cleaning solutions, and that is priced in as well. Our crew reads the cleaning process on each property the same way every time, so the quote is repeatable.
Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are part of a thorough cleaning, included per building and not billed as extras. Scheduled semi-annual or quarterly service is priced lower than a one-off call, because the crew already knows the property and the dates are booked ahead. We offer gutter cleaning on either basis. Gutter protection is a separate job and is not in this number.
When we write a quote for a Gary property we need the address or 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 those, the final inspection on each building confirms the scope before we bill, so the invoice matches what we quoted. The quote sheet is the same for residential and commercial work, and a homeowner with one house gets the same written format. Whether it is a home or business, the number is in writing before the crew goes up.
| 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 Gary properties we service, most get two cleanings a year, spring and late fall, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover on quarterly service. Landscape debris from the trees piles into the gutters, which is why tree-covered buildings go quarterly. Across Indiana, the spring visit usually lands in late May to June, and the fall visit in late October to November. Storm season across Indiana brings supercells with hail and tornadoes, and it is when the managers call us most, because the post-storm inspections turn up loose hangers and packed outlets that a normal visit would have caught. A clog at a downspout during a storm is how water damage usually starts inside the building.
Schedules follow the load, not the calendar, so a standard building with light exposure does fine on two visits a year, while a restaurant gutter comes down every second month with grease-laden debris. Every building has its own gutter cleaning needs, and gutter cleaning and maintenance is planned around them. Freeze risk is real on Gary properties, so an outlet packed with leaves in late fall gets cleared before winter, before water backs up behind the siding. When an outlet packs up, the first sign is overflow down the wall. Our crew handles residential gutter work as well, and the same discipline carries over to commercial jobs, because the water still needs somewhere to go.
Flat roofs are where the schedule matters most. Parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently, and the first thing the tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister. That is why the monthly check between cleanings is part of our gutter maintenance, so a blockage is caught before it becomes a leak.
| 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.
Our professional gutter cleaning services cover commercial buildings across Gary, including the business corridors where we have serviced buildings. We provide gutter cleaning per building, and Gary is inside our service area. A multi-building portfolio gets one contact for every property, so the property manager is not juggling a separate scheduler for each site. We confirm each date in writing and our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival, with work timed around tenant hours when that is asked for. Call (866) 435-6328, text a photo of the roofline, or book a date and we confirm it in writing.
A thorough gutter cleaning on one building matters to the building next to it, since a clogged gutter can cause roof leaks when the same runoff sheets across a shared lot, so we treat a multi-site order as one job. The gutter cleaning process is the same on every building, and each one gets its own photo report. We also do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners and businesses in the surrounding areas, and our commercial and residential properties run on the same crew discipline. If your portfolio mixes both, one invoice covers the lot. Our gutter company is set up to handle that kind of order without a second contract.
We quote per building. Some gutter cleaners price by the foot alone, but our price depends on linear footage, height and gutter type, and the number comes in writing for each building before we dispatch anyone.
The lease decides, so check the maintenance clause in yours; the lease-type breakdown is printed above on this page. This is not legal advice, and the attorney who drafted your lease is the right person to read it with you.
On our Gary restaurants and flat-roof buildings, quarterly is what keeps the internal drains clear, and the monthly check between visits catches a blocked scupper early. Grease and grit build up faster than leaves do on those roofs.
Yes. Above three stories we work from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection in place, and we set the lift to the building's footprint and height before the crew goes up.
Yes. We schedule around tenant hours when asked, and we check in with the on-site contact when we arrive so access rules are followed before the lift goes up. Gary is inside our service area, so the same crew and the same access checks apply to every building.
We clear both. Roof drains and scuppers are part of the scope on flat roofs, and debris is hauled off the site rather than blown into a parking lot.
After a storm, the post-storm call-outs most often turn up loose hangers and packed outlets. Keeping the gutter system clear helps protect your home or business from water damage, so we photograph each finding and put it in the report, and what to do about it is your decision.
Yes. We invoice per building with the linear footage shown, and a recurring schedule runs on one contact across the portfolio. Call (866) 435-6328 or ask for a written estimate to set it up.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
