We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building in Muncie, priced from each building's footprint and height. Every job is done with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift, and you get a photo report of the work afterward. Our crew is scheduled to this work all season, not fitted in between roof jobs. On our Muncie properties we most often see office buildings, retail strips and multifamily sites booking ahead of the spring and fall seasons.
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 gutter work per building, from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. The number on the quote is the number on the invoice. The cleaning process is the same for any home or business, from a homeowner's rental duplex to a retail strip: measure, quote, dispatch, clean, then a final inspection before the crew leaves. Several things move that quote on Muncie properties: a building above three stories, which needs a boom or scissor lift under our fall-protection setup; compacted debris in a gutter system nobody has cleaned in years; a gutter guard that has to come off before we can reach the channel; oversized or box gutters; roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs; and the number of buildings on one site. Downspout flushing with mild cleaning solutions and debris haul-off are included per building, unlike the surcharges some gutter cleaning companies add. Scheduled semi-annual or quarterly cleaning services are priced lower than a one-off call, because the crew already knows the building and the footage is on file.
On a recent commercial job, a three-story office building with a flat section and internal drains needed a lift for the front run and hand work on the flat roof edge. The quote was built from the site plan and the number of stories, and it was the same number the invoice showed. To quote a Muncie property, residential and commercial alike, we need the address or a site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings, and who the invoice should go to. Tell us those and we will put the figure in writing, and ask the other gutter cleaners you are comparing for the same.
| 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 Muncie properties we service are on twice a year, in spring and late fall. Restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover go on a quarterly schedule of gutter cleaning and maintenance. On the restaurant properties we service, what comes out of the gutters every second month is grease-laden debris that a semi-annual visit would never catch. Our professional gutter cleaning services are a simple one-visit job on standard buildings, but these property types need a tighter calendar to keep water moving. Where residential gutter cleaning sits on the same route as a commercial building, we schedule both the same way, since the flow problems are identical.
On a flat roof, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently, and a blocked gutter will overflow at the low corner first. The first thing a tenant usually notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, which is why we include a monthly gutter maintenance check between cleanings on those accounts. Water damage from a blocked drain shows up inside before it shows up outside, so we look at the drains, not just the gutters. Several of the managers who call us after a storm are reacting to exactly that kind of blockage, and we would rather provide gutter cleaning on a scheduled visit than in an emergency. We also see landscape debris from nearby beds washed into the gutters after heavy rain, so a property's gutter cleaning needs depend on its planting as much as its roof, and the spring visit matters.
| 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 service area is Muncie and the surrounding areas, and we offer gutter cleaning on commercial buildings along the business corridors, for homeowners and businesses alike, whether it is a single building or a multi-site portfolio. We run commercial and residential properties on the same route, so a property manager with a mixed portfolio does not need two vendors. Managers with several properties get one contact for every building from the gutter company, and each visit is confirmed in writing with a date and the buildings included. Our gutter cleaning process starts with a check-in with the on-site contact on arrival and, where asked, times the work around tenant hours so customers are not disturbed. A clogged gutter on one building can leak into the interior of the next, so we treat a multi-building site as one job with one schedule.
A building neglected long enough to leak through the fascia gets a written photo report from us, and repair is not our work, but we will flag what can cause roof leaks so you can plan the next step. Call (866) 435-6328, text a photo of the building, or book a date, and we will confirm the visit in writing.
We price per building, and the number comes from linear footage, stories, roof type and what is in the gutters, because a thorough cleaning of a packed system takes longer than a light one. Each way of pricing depends on those inputs, so we give the figure in writing for each building rather than a rate. Ask for it and we will put it in the next email.
The lease decides, not us, and the lease type sets the answer. The breakdown by lease type is in the section above, and we cannot give legal advice on your contract. Tell us which lease you have and we will address the invoice to the right party.
On the restaurants and flat roofs we service, quarterly is what keeps the drains clear. The grease and grit build up faster than a semi-annual visit can handle, and the parapets back up without warning. We schedule a monthly check between cleanings on those accounts, which is how you protect your home or business from a slow leak.
Yes. Commercial properties above three stories are done from a boom or scissor lift, with fall protection set up for the crew before anyone climbs. We will confirm the lift and the setup when we quote the building, and the thorough gutter cleaning covers every run once the lift is in place.
Yes. We schedule around tenant hours and on-site access rules where asked, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. Tell us the access rules when you book and we will plan the visit around them.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs during the same visit, strainer domes included, and anything damaged goes into the photo report.
After severe storms we get calls about a clog of debris packed into the gutters and downspouts, and about water that has run down the siding or backed up over the parapet. Our crew clears what is blocked, photographs the runs, and notes where gutter protection has been pulled or bent, so you have a record of what the storm left behind.
Yes. We invoice per building and set up one recurring schedule across a portfolio, with a confirmed date for each visit in writing. Call (866) 435-6328 or send us your building list and we will set it up.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
