We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building in Kokomo, priced from each building's footprint and height, 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, not a roofer fitting gutters in between re-roofs. We work across Indiana on office, retail and multi-unit buildings, and most property managers book us for the spring and the 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 each commercial building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. A service priced this way is a thorough cleaning, not a quick rinse. The number on the quote is the number on the invoice, and we do not add a debris charge after the crew leaves.
What moves a quote on our jobs is mostly height. Above three stories we bring a boom or scissor lift and set it up under fall-protection rules, which changes the crew time and the equipment. A thorough gutter cleaning on a system nobody has cleaned in years takes longer than a light seasonal load. Gutter protection that has to be lifted and reseated before the gutter can be reached, oversized or box gutters, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and the number of buildings on one site all add time. A clog at a downspout elbow adds time because it has to be opened before anything flushes through. 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 and the footage is measured.
On the commercial properties we service, the quote is written after the first look at the roofline. For a Kokomo property, we need the address or a site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who the invoice goes to. That is enough to put a figure in writing. We keep the photos from every building we clean, and they go with the report so the manager can check what was done against what was quoted. If a building sits in the surrounding areas outside city limits, ask whether it falls inside our service area before you request a quote. The same quote format covers a house, so the cost to protect your home is in writing too.
| 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 Kokomo properties we service, most are on twice a year, spring and late fall, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees on quarterly. Across Indiana, spring visits land in late May to June, and the pattern holds for residential and commercial buildings alike, with the fall visit falling in late October to November.
Across Indiana, storm season brings supercells with hail and tornadoes, and what we pull out of a gutter after that tells us the schedule. The managers who call us after a storm usually have a run that held water or a downspout that backed up during one hard rain, and a gutter system that has been sagging since the last storm. Leaves and pollen load the system in the spring and again in the fall, and that is what sets the twice-a-year rhythm for most standard buildings. A homeowner with one house and a property manager with several buildings want the same thing from a cleaning: the system working. Our cleaning services run on a calendar the manager sets, and the cleaning process is the same on each visit, so the notes from the last visit set the start of the next one.
Flat roofs need more attention than the gutter alone suggests. Parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently, and the first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists. A clogged drain upstairs becomes a roof leak below before anyone sees the gutter overflow. Water that overshoots a blocked run also stains the siding below the eave. Gutter cleaners who only work the gutter miss the drain, and gutter cleaning companies that quote the gutter alone leave the scuppers untouched. A gutter guard on a run that is never checked holds debris in place until the drain backs up. Each cleaning closes with a final inspection of the drains and downspouts before the crew leaves, and the cleaning solutions are matched to the debris on each run. A home or business owner who sees water at the eave should call before the next rain.
| 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 run professional gutter cleaning services for commercial buildings across the city, and for a property manager with several buildings we set up one contact for the whole portfolio. A date is confirmed in writing, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. Where tenants need quiet hours or the lot needs to stay open, we time the work around them. Trees and the landscape around a building decide how fast a gutter fills, and we factor that into the schedule.
Multi-site portfolios are handled the same way: one invoice per building with the linear footage shown, and one schedule across all of them. We provide gutter cleaning for each building separately so a board or an owner can check what was done at each address. A blockage at the elbow is the first thing the crew clears, because it is usually where the overflow starts, and a run that overflows does more than make a mess: it leads to water damage at the fascia and soffit. Gutter cleaning and maintenance on a set schedule keeps the cost predictable, and the crew keeps notes on every building so the next visit starts from what was found last time.
We also offer gutter cleaning for homeowners and businesses alike, and for mixed sites with a residential gutter run on the same parcel we quote each building on its own terms. Lead times depend on the season and the size of the portfolio, so we confirm the first date when we send the quote rather than promising one in advance. Tell us your gutter cleaning needs and the building type, and the quote comes back in writing. Call (866) 435-6328, text a photo of the roofline, or book a date and we'll confirm it in writing.
We price it per building, from the linear footage, the height and the gutter type, and the number comes in writing before any crew is dispatched. Some gutter cleaners quote per linear foot, and we use that footage as one input, but the building is the unit on the invoice.
The lease decides, not us. The lease type sets which party carries exterior upkeep, and the section above on who pays walks through the common cases. This is not legal advice, so read the maintenance clause of your lease or ask the attorney who drafted it.
On the restaurants and flat-roof buildings we service, quarterly is what keeps the internal drains clear. A restaurant gutter carries grease and grit that a standard run does not, and a flat roof backs up without a sound, so gutter maintenance between cleanings is what catches a clogged gutter before it turns into a leak.
Yes. Above three stories the crew works from a boom or scissor lift set up under fall-protection rules, and we bring the lift the building needs. Give us the height and the roofline when you request the quote so the right setup is priced in.
Yes. We schedule around tenant hours where asked, check in with the on-site contact on arrival, and follow the access rules for the site. If a gate or a loading area needs a key or a code, we confirm that before the date.
As part of the gutter cleaning process, we clear the roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and we photograph the strainer domes so you can see the condition. What we find that needs repair gets photographed and reported, not fixed by us.
After a storm we get calls from managers whose gutters held water or whose downspouts backed up during one hard rain. The post-storm call-outs usually turn up debris packed at the elbows and a run that sagged under the weight. A packed elbow can cause roof leaks when the water has nowhere to go. We send photos of each one so you know what we found before anything else is decided.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice with the footage shown, and a recurring schedule can cover all of them on one calendar, from one gutter company you can call instead of several. The same setup works for commercial and residential properties on one account. Tell us the addresses and the building types and we set the cadence per property, quarterly or twice a year, based on what each one needs. Call (866) 435-6328, text a photo, or book a date and we'll set it up.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
