We quote commercial work per building in Lafayette, priced from each building's footprint and height. Fall protection or a boom or scissor lift goes on every job, and you get a photo report of every run when we finish. Our crew is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Across Indiana, we book the most commercial work for the spring and fall service windows, when property managers want the drains clear before the weather turns.
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. Each building gets its own number, so a multi-building site is never billed as one lump sum that hides what each roof cost. The method is the same for residential and commercial buildings, so a home or business gets a gutter cleaning service quote built from the same measurements.
Height is the biggest single factor on our jobs. Above three stories we bring a boom or scissor lift and set up fall protection under the federal rules, and that equipment is priced into the quote. A clog that has sat for years, packed into a gutter system nobody has cleaned, takes longer to clear. A gutter guard has to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run. Oversized or box gutters take more time per linear foot, and roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs are their own line item. Water that spills over a full run can stain the siding below the eaves, and we note that on the report. The number of buildings on one site changes how we stage the crew.
Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras. Some jobs call for cleaning solutions, because water alone won't always cut grease or algae in a run. Scheduled semi-annual or quarterly service is priced lower than a one-off call, because the crew knows the property and the footage is already measured. Every job ends with a final inspection of each run before the crew leaves.
On a multi-story building, the roof type and the number of drains often move the price more than the footage alone. Our quotes follow the same logic every time: the site plan or satellite measurement, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings, and the address of the party the invoice goes to. Send us those and we will return a written number for each building. Ask any of the gutter cleaners you compare for the same per-building number 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.
On the Lafayette properties we service, most are on twice a year, spring and late fall, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover on quarterly. Cleaning services should match what the roof actually sheds, and gutter cleaning needs change with the trees around the building, so we set the interval from what we pull out on the first visit.
Storm season is where our calls spike. The managers who call us after a storm usually find leaves and debris packed into runs that were clear in the spring, and the post-storm inspections turn up pulled hangers and standing water behind the fascia. Across Indiana, storm season brings supercells with hail and tornadoes, and a clogged gutter can overflow and lead to water damage at the foundation. The month leaves or pollen load the gutters is the signal we use to time the second visit, and that changes from building to building.
Flat roofs need a different cleaning process than a pitched roof, because the water has nowhere to go but the internal drain or the scupper, and a single blockage there holds the whole roof. Parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently, and the first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister. That is why the monthly check between cleanings exists, and why we point it out in every report.
Our crew handles the buildings under the heaviest tree loads on the quarterly schedule, and we flag the ones that need a monthly check during leaf drop. A homeowner with a house under heavy trees can follow the same quarterly logic, and we set the interval for homeowners and businesses the same way, since the roof sets the schedule rather than the type of property. Property managers ask us for a schedule across a portfolio, and we set it up as one plan with each building priced separately, so gutter cleaning and maintenance run on one calendar.
| 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 and residential properties in Lafayette and the surrounding areas, and our crew works the business corridors where we have already serviced buildings. Lafayette sits inside our service area. Scheduling with us is one contact for every building in the portfolio, so a property manager never has to call a different number for each site. Once a date is set, we confirm it in writing, and the crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival.
For a multi-site portfolio, we can time the work around tenant hours where asked, which is often the difference between a clean start and a complaint in a shared lobby. We also provide gutter cleaning for homeowners, and residential gutter cleaning runs on the same crew, so a manager with a mixed portfolio gets gutter maintenance from one gutter company.
Our landscape crews and our gutter crews sometimes share a site visit, so a property manager can book both on one day, and we also offer gutter cleaning on its own when a property doesn't need landscape work. Gutter cleaning companies bid these jobs differently, so ask each one for the same scope and the same footage. The gutter cleaning process is the same on every building, from the first run to the final flush, and a thorough cleaning takes the same care on one building as on twelve. The photo report comes to the same inbox every time. We keep the schedule by building so the invoice matches the work, and the record shows which runs were cleared on which date.
If you are a property manager who has been calling a different gutter company for each building, put the list of addresses in one message and we will return a single written plan. Gutters left full can cause roof leaks at the fascia and flashing. Clean gutters on a schedule cost less over a year than a one-off call every time a leak shows up, and a planned visit is the cheapest way to keep a flat roof off the repair list. Call (866) 435-6328 to set the first date.
We quote per building, and the number depends on linear footage, height, gutter type and what is in the gutters. We do not quote a range over the phone because the number comes in writing after we measure the building. Gutter protection, such as guards, is quoted separately and is not in this number. Ask for the written estimate and it will show each building on its own line.
The lease decides, not us. The lease section on this page shows how triple net, gross and silent leases usually read, and this is general information, not legal advice. Read the maintenance clause of your lease, and we will bill the party you name on the invoice.
For commercial properties like restaurants and flat roofs, quarterly is the schedule that keeps the internal drains clear. The grease and grit from a kitchen exhaust and the debris on a flat roof build up faster than a standard pitched roof. A monthly check between cleanings catches the early signs of a blocked drain or a clogged gutter.
Yes. We bring a boom or scissor lift and set up fall protection for the height, and that equipment is part of the quote. Send us the stories and the roof type and we will confirm the setup before the date is booked.
Yes. We schedule around tenant hours where asked, and we check in with the on-site contact on arrival so the access rules are followed. Tell us the hours and the access requirements when you request the quote.
We clear roof drains and scuppers as well as gutters. They are priced as their own line item on the quote, and the photo report shows each one before and after. A clogged scupper is one of the fastest ways to get a leak, so we treat them as part of the same thorough gutter cleaning job.
After a severe storm, the post-storm calls we take usually turn up leaves and debris packed into runs that were clear in the spring, and sometimes pulled hangers or standing water behind the fascia. We photograph what we find and report it. Clearing the runs quickly helps protect your home or business from the water that follows. Call (866) 435-6328 to get a crew on the schedule.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice and its own line on the schedule, so the accounts match the work. We set one plan across the portfolio, with each building still invoiced on its own. Send the list of addresses and we will check each one against our service area before we return one written plan covering every building.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
