We quote commercial gutter work per building, priced from its footprint and height, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job and a photo report when we leave. Our crew is ours and on a fixed calendar, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. We work on office, retail and multifamily properties across Indianapolis, and most book ahead for the spring and fall visits. Every job ends with a final inspection of the gutter system, and you can book the date by calling (866) 435-6328 or texting a roof photo.
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 from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. The quote is the number you pay.
What moves the quote on our jobs is mostly height and access. Above three stories we bring a boom or scissor lift and set up fall protection, and that changes the crew and the time on site. A clogged gutter on a system nobody has cleaned in years takes longer than one done last season, because the clog has to be broken up by hand before the debris comes out. A gutter guard that must be lifted and reseated adds time. Work near vinyl siding or stucco takes more care with ladder and lift placement, and a run that backs up spills over the edge and leaves overflow staining on the wall below. Oversized box gutters and industrial gutters need more hauling. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs get cleared as part of the job, and a building with several roof sections takes more time than one flat run. The number of buildings on one site matters too, because one mobilization can cover several buildings.
Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are part of every thorough gutter cleaning service, priced 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 measured. Any gutter protection you want is quoted separately, since an installed product is not part of the cleaning.
Take a three-story office building with a flat roof and internal drains. The back run needs a lift, and the quote is built from the footprint, the stories and the state of the drains. Every run gets photographed before the crew leaves.
To quote a property, we need the address or a site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, how many buildings are on the site and who the invoice goes to. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a roof photo for a written estimate, and we will come back with a number.
| 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.
Our cleaning services in Indianapolis run on a fixed calendar. The spring visit lands in late May to June across Indiana, and the fall visit in late October to November. Most properties are on twice a year, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees on quarterly service. Across Indiana, storm season brings supercells with hail and tornadoes, and it is when managers call us most. The post-storm final inspection often turns up debris packed into the downspouts that nobody saw from the ground.
What we pull out of a restaurant gutter every second month is grease, food debris and grit, which is why the interval is shorter there than on an office building. Our crews see the same pattern on residential and commercial properties: a clogged gutter starts with one clog and holds water until it finds a way out. A larger roof works the same way.
On flat roofs, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently. The first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists. When we are on site, we look at the drains as well as the gutters, because a drain that backs up can cause roof leaks, and a leak through the ceiling is the last sign, not the first.
Each property gets its own calendar for cleaning and maintenance, set building by building. One building under heavy trees might be on quarterly, while a standard office building next door is on twice a year. We set the schedule with the property manager, confirm the dates in writing, and the cleaning process ends with a final inspection on each 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 Indianapolis for commercial properties, and our service area takes in the business districts, the corridors and the surrounding areas where we have serviced buildings. For a property manager with several buildings, the gutter cleaning needs are simple: one contact for every building, a date confirmed in writing, and a crew that checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. Where the building has tenants, we time the work around their hours if asked. Where a site has landscape beds under the eaves, we clear the debris out of them too.
Multi-building portfolios are priced and scheduled as one job, with each building invoiced separately so the board or owner can check the footage on each. We provide gutter cleaning and maintenance across a site as one visit, and once it is on the calendar the same crew handles the work on the scheduled date without a new quote.
Our crews also handle residential gutter cleaning for a homeowner. The same team serves homeowners and businesses across commercial and residential properties, whether it is a home or business. For commercial buildings, our professional gutter cleaning services are the same work as on a house: a thorough cleaning of gutters, downspouts and drains, with debris hauled away. Where a gutter shows signs of water damage or a blockage that was not visible from the ground, we photograph it and put it in the report. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a roof photo, and we will confirm the dates for every building in writing.
We price per building, and the number depends on the linear footage, the height and the gutter type. The gutter cleaning process starts with that quote, which we write in advance from a site plan or a measurement, so you have the figure before we are dispatched.
The lease decides, not us. The lease type sets who carries the cost, so check the maintenance clause in yours; the cases are set out in the section above. This is not legal advice, and the attorney who drafted the lease can tell you what it says.
On the restaurants and flat-roof buildings we service in Indianapolis, quarterly is the rule, because grease and debris build up faster, and a clogged gutter or drain can start a leak long before anyone sees it.
Yes. Above three stories we bring a boom or scissor lift and set up fall protection before anyone goes up, and the quote reflects the lift time.
Yes. We schedule around tenant hours and follow the access rules of the building, and the on-site contact gets a call when the crew arrives.
We clear the roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as well as the gutters, and we photograph each one before and after. Clearing them is one of the simplest ways to protect your home or business from water damage. The right cleaning solutions depend on the drain type, and we will name the one that fits in the written quote.
After storms we get calls from managers whose downspouts are packed with debris that was washed in from the roof. Our gutter cleaners clear those runs first and report anything else they find. When clients weigh gutter cleaning companies, the first test is whether the downspouts actually run clear, and we check that on every run.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice with the footage shown, and a recurring schedule for several properties can be set up as one contract with one contact, which covers gutter maintenance for each building. If your property already has a gutter company, send us the building list and we will match the footage.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
