We are the crew that does the work, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Each commercial building gets its own quote, built from its footprint and height, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job and a photo report when we finish. We book spring and late fall, the two windows when debris and seed load are heaviest, and we keep the same schedule for every building on your list.
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 thorough 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. The number on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Height is the biggest single factor. Above three stories the job needs a boom or scissor lift under fall-protection rules, and that changes the crew size and the setup. Compacted debris in a clogged gutter, on a system nobody has cleaned in years, takes longer to clear, and a gutter guard has to be lifted and reseated before the run can be flushed. A blockage low in a downspout can also push water onto siding below, and that adds time. Oversized or box gutters, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and the number of buildings on one site all move the quote as well.
Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included in every gutter cleaning service we quote, 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.
Our Bowling Green commercial work is mostly multi-building and multi-tenant sites. What sets those quotes is the property type, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and what we find in the gutters on the first walk-through. To quote a Bowling Green property we need the address or a site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings, and the name of the party the invoice goes to.
Every quote covers a thorough cleaning: the clog removal, the flushing of every downspout, and a check for overflow points where water runs behind the fascia. Keeping the gutters clear is how you protect your home or business from that water. Gutter protection products are a separate job and are not part of this quote. Where we find something outside the scope, such as a pulled hanger or a separated seam, we photograph it and put it in the report. We do not repair it unless you ask.
We keep the same surrounding areas in mind when we quote, because a building near a storm drain or a parking lot needs its downspouts checked again after the rain. If you want a full walk-around of your service area before any work starts, ask for it in writing.
| Per building | |
|---|---|
| Standard, one to two stories | from $150 |
| Oversized box or industrial gutters | from $280 |
| Three stories and up, with a lift | from $375 |
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 Bowling Green properties we service, most 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. Scheduled gutter maintenance is what keeps those drains open between storms, and clean gutters on a flat roof are the cheapest way to avoid a leak.
The cleaning services we run follow the same gutter cleaning process every visit: a visual check from the ground, the debris cleared by hand or vacuum, every downspout flushed until it runs clear, and a final inspection with photos of each run. Managers who call us after a storm usually want that first check done before the next rain.
Flat roofs are the building type that surprises property managers most. Parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without any warning. The first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists.
Most of the gutter cleaners we send out have been on this schedule for years, and the crew logs what they pull from each system so the next visit starts from a known baseline. If you are comparing gutter cleaning companies, ask to see that log before you sign. Whether your building is on the gutter system schedule or a one-off call, the report goes to the same contact.
| 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.
On commercial properties around Bowling Green we offer gutter cleaning, running professional gutter cleaning services for office parks, retail strips and multifamily sites, with dates set in writing for every building on the list. A property manager gets one contact for the whole portfolio, one confirmed date per site, and a crew that checks in with the on-site contact on arrival.
Where tenants ask for work to be timed around business hours, we schedule it that way. Lead time depends on the season and on the building count, so we give you the date in writing rather than promising a fixed turnaround. Call (866) 435-6328, text a photo of the roofline, or book a date to get started.
We also do residential gutter cleaning, and we provide gutter cleaning to the homeowner who shares a property with a business. For a multi-site portfolio that mixes commercial and residential properties, we run one schedule across both.
Our crew handles the residential gutter and landscape-adjacent work the same way, with the same photo report, and we treat any water damage we see from the outside as a finding to report, not a job to bid on. Whatever your gutter cleaning needs are for the year, we can set up gutter cleaning and maintenance as one set of cleaning solutions, with every building on one invoice.
We price per building, but the number is built from the linear footage, the height and the gutter type. Each building gets its own figure in writing before we are dispatched.
The lease decides, not us; see the lease section above for how responsibility usually reads. This is not legal advice, so check the maintenance clause of your lease or ask the attorney who drafted it.
On our jobs, quarterly. A restaurant pulls grease and grit into the gutters faster than any other building type we see, and a blocked flat-roof drain is how a leak starts, so the flat roof needs the same visit to keep the drains open.
Yes. As a gutter company that works commercial buildings, we work from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection on those jobs, and the lift is matched to the building.
Yes. Tell us the hours and the access rules when you book, and the crew will work to them. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the roofline to start the scheduling.
Both. Roof drains and scuppers are part of the same visit, and we report anything we find in them.
Storm season across Kentucky brings spring severe storms, hail and tornadoes, and the post-storm calls we take turn up debris packed into downspouts and gutters pulled loose. A clogged gutter can cause roof leaks when water backs up under the edge, so clean gutters after a storm come first. We check the whole system and send photos of each finding.
Yes. Each building is invoiced separately, and a recurring schedule can run across all of them from one contact. Ask for a written estimate, and book your first date from the same call.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
