We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building in Hammond, priced from each building's footprint and height. Fall protection or a boom or scissor lift is on every job, and you get a photo report after. We are a gutter company with our own crew on a set schedule, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Our Hammond crew books each home or business property for spring and late fall, with a storm call-out when the managers need one.
Quoted per building from footage, height and gutter type, in writing, before anyone is dispatched. Scheduled service costs less than a call-out.
Our gutter cleaning service quotes each building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. A thorough gutter cleaning starts with that measurement, not the crew's guess. A single building often costs less per foot than a stacked site, and we will tell you which one you have before the truck rolls. When you compare gutter cleaners, compare the scope line by line, not just the price. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will take the stories, the roof type and the number of buildings and send you the figure in writing.
What moves the quote on our jobs is mostly height and access. A building over three stories needs a boom or scissor lift and the fall-protection setup that goes with it, and a flat roof with internal drains takes longer than a pitched run of gutter. Compacted debris on a system nobody has cleaned in years adds time. Gutter protection or a gutter guard that has to be lifted off first, an oversized gutter system or box gutters, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and the number of buildings on one site all go into the number. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building, and a clog or overflow found on the walk is cleared, not billed as an extra. 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 Hammond property we took on this season, the quote came down to three things the managers did not expect: a flat roof with internal drains, a parapet that hid two scuppers from the parking lot, and a second building on the same lot that shared a downspout line. Send us the address or a site plan and we will tell you what sets your quote the same way.
| 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 Hammond properties we service 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 follow the same gutter cleaning process on every building, so a quarterly account and a semi-annual account get the same inspection and the same final inspection at the end. Each visit is a thorough cleaning of every run and drain, not a quick pass. The schedule you choose is the one we keep to.
What we pull out of a restaurant gutter every second month is grease film and fryer-vent grit mixed into the leaf and seed load, and a standard office building rarely shows that. The cleaning solutions on a restaurant job are chosen for grease film, not the same product for every roof. Storm season is the other driver: the managers who call us after a storm are usually asking about a run that held water through the last hard rain, and the water damage is often already in the ceiling below. Freeze risk on Hammond gutters is real in the winter months, which is why the late fall visit matters for the sag we see by spring. When a run lets water overflow in a storm, it runs down the siding and into the wall below.
On flat roofs the parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without a sound. The first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists. For a homeowner the gutter system runs in plain view; on a commercial roof the problem is usually hidden until it is inside the building. Whichever schedule your site needs, we will set up the gutter maintenance for every building in one contact.
| 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 do professional gutter cleaning services across Hammond and the surrounding areas for commercial properties. Our crew works the business corridors and the office and retail sites we have serviced before, and Hammond is inside our service area. Multi-building sites and portfolios are the common case: one contact for all buildings, one date confirmed in writing, and a crew that checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. Where a tenant needs quiet hours or a lot needs to stay open, we time the work around them.
For a property manager that means one invoice per building with the linear footage shown, so the board can check it, and one schedule that repeats each season. We also offer gutter cleaning and maintenance on the same calendar, so a portfolio of different building types gets one planned visit instead of a string of separate calls. We provide gutter cleaning for industrial and light-commercial sites too, and the landscape around the building is part of the walk.
We take residential gutter jobs too, so the same crew handles commercial and residential properties on one schedule when a manager also owns a house. Regular cleaning helps protect your home from water damage, and we work with homeowners and businesses alike, but the crew's day is set around commercial buildings and their managers. Lead time depends on the site and the season, and we give it in writing when we confirm the date. Tell us your gutter cleaning needs and the number of buildings, then call (866) 435-6328, text a photo of the roofline, or book a date, and we will confirm the crew and the date in writing.
We quote per building, but the number is built from linear footage, height and gutter type, so the same building can come in on either basis. What moves it is how many stories, how the roof drains, and how much debris is packed in. Ask any gutter cleaning companies you compare for the footage and height basis in writing. Our figure for each building comes the same way, before we schedule it.
The lease decides, not us, and the section above covers the three common lease types. What we see on the invoices we write is whichever party the lease names, so we bill that party directly. This is general information and not legal advice; check the maintenance clause of your lease or ask the attorney who drafted it.
On the Hammond restaurants and flat roofs we service, quarterly is the schedule that keeps the parapets and internal drains clear. A restaurant sheds grease film and grit that a standard roof does not. Between visits the monthly check catches a backed-up scupper before it stains a ceiling.
Yes. A building over three stories is worked from a boom or scissor lift, with fall protection set up for the crew before anyone climbs. The lift is matched to the building, and the setup is confirmed on site before the first run is cleared.
Yes. We time the work around tenant hours and access rules when the property manager asks for it, and we check in with the on-site contact on arrival. Tell us the hours and the gate or badge rules when you book and we will plan the crew around them.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the job, along with the gutters and downspouts. Debris is removed from the roof and the strainer domes are reseated. Anything else we find is photographed and put in the report.
After a severe storm the calls we get are usually about a clogged gutter that held water through the rain, a downspout that backed up, or debris blown onto a flat roof. We clear the blockage, flush the downspouts and photograph the runs so the manager has a record. Call (866) 435-6328 after the storm and we will tell you what the crew can take on.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice with the footage shown, and a recurring schedule can cover every building on the account in one contact. Text a photo of the roofline and we will confirm the schedule in writing, so a missed season does not let a clog turn into a roof leak.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
