We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building in Topeka, 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 every run when we finish. Our crew is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Across Kansas we book most commercial visits for spring and late fall, when the gutters have taken the most load.
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 cleaning per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. What moves the quote on our properties is height above three stories and the boom or scissor lift it requires under fall-protection rules, compacted debris on a system not cleaned in years, a gutter guard, a common form of gutter protection, that has to be lifted to reach the channel, oversized or box gutters, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and the number of buildings on one site. 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. To quote a Topeka property, home or business, we need the address or site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings, and the name of the party the invoice goes to. Each gutter system is measured and written up before the first visit, and a homeowner gets the same written figure as a property manager, so the number you approve is the number on the invoice. Our crews are our own gutter cleaners, and the final inspection happens before we leave the lot. Send the site plan and we will return a written estimate for each building, with the cleaning services, the cleaning process, the cleaning solutions and any roof drains listed line by line. Call (866) 435-6328 or send the site plan by email, and ask for a written estimate.
| 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 commercial properties we service in Topeka are on twice a year, in spring and late fall, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees on quarterly visits. Across Kansas the spring load comes from seed and pollen, and the fall load from the leaf drop. Storm season brings a second call-out, and the managers who call us after a storm usually find debris packed into the first run of the roofline. Every professional gutter cleaning visit starts with a look at the last visit's photos, so we know which runs filled fastest. Some buildings only need an occasional check, and we will say so in writing. A residential gutter on a house is a different job, but the same drainage logic applies to any gutter system. Property managers handling several buildings tell us their landscape crews see the overflow first, along the walkways. Water damage at a commercial building usually starts at a blocked downspout that has been overflowing for a season. Our crew bags the debris, flushes every downspout until it runs clear, and reports anything that holds water. Flat roofs with internal drains are where we see the most blockage. Schedule a quarterly visit for those buildings and the first check of the year is a short one. Crews on a restaurant gutter find grease and fryer dust mixed into the debris every second month. We provide gutter cleaning on an alternate schedule as well, and the crew still gets back up the gutter in the same visit. On a flat 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, which is why we check between cleanings. Professional gutter cleaning services on commercial buildings are most useful when the schedule is set before the first storm, so we offer gutter cleaning on a calendar your facilities team can plan around. The gutter cleaning and maintenance on a quarterly plan is often less than one emergency call, and regular gutter maintenance keeps that bill down. Tell us your gutter cleaning needs for each building and the crew will set the visit dates in writing.
| 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.
Topeka and the surrounding areas make up our service area for commercial properties, including the business corridors and business parks where we have already serviced buildings. A property manager with several buildings gets one contact for the whole portfolio, and one date confirmed in writing for each site. Our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival and works around tenant hours when that is asked. Lead time depends on the season and the schedule, and we will give you the first open date when you call. A clogged gutter left past the storm season can leak into a wall or cause roof leaks at a parapet, which is why most managers book the full portfolio at once. We offer residential gutter cleaning and commercial work on the same crew schedule, so a mixed portfolio stays on one invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will set up a plan for the commercial and residential properties you manage. Our commercial work runs on the same schedule as the residential route, and the crew you book is the one that comes back, which matters when you compare gutter cleaning companies and ask whether the gutter company keeps the same crew. Ask for one service calendar across the portfolio and we will send a written summary of every building on it. The gutter cleaning process is the same on every property: the crew bags the debris, flushes the downspouts and photographs each run. For clean gutters across a multi-site portfolio, text a photo of the roofline and we will reply with the next available date.
We quote per building, and the number depends on the linear footage, the height and the gutter type; we write it down before anyone is dispatched. You will not get a rate card for this, only a quote for each building.
The lease decides, not us. Read the maintenance clause in your lease and the section above for the three common lease types. This is not legal advice, so check the lease with the attorney who drafted it.
On the restaurants and flat roofs we service in Topeka, quarterly is the schedule that holds. Grease and fryer dust collect fast, and internal drains back up without warning.
Yes. We use a boom or scissor lift on those jobs, with fall protection on every run, and we confirm the reach when we measure the building.
Yes. Tell us the access windows and the crew will work inside them and check in with the on-site contact on arrival.
We clear both on flat roofs. Roof drains and scuppers are cleared of debris and the strainer domes are reseated, and anything else we find is photographed and reported.
After a storm, expect a clog of debris packed into the first run of the roofline and downspouts pulled loose from the siding, which means overflow down the wall. The crew photographs it, clears it, and reports the damage in writing, which is how we protect your home.
Yes, for homeowners and businesses alike. You get one invoice per building with the linear footage shown, and a recurring schedule across the portfolio on one calendar. Call (866) 435-6328 to set it up, or text a photo of the roofline for a quick reply. Every visit includes thorough cleaning, and you get a thorough gutter cleaning record for each building.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
