We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building in Louisville, priced from each building's footprint and height. Every job gets fall protection or a boom or scissor lift, and every property gets a photo report when we finish. We are the crew that does the work, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Our Louisville work runs across office and multifamily properties that book us ahead of the spring and fall visits.
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. Every gutter cleaning service we price, residential and commercial alike, starts with a measured gutter system and a number that matches the invoice.
Height is the biggest factor on our jobs. Anything above three stories needs a boom or scissor lift to meet fall-protection rules. Compacted debris or a clog at a downspout elbow on a system not cleaned in years adds crew time, a gutter guard that must be lifted first adds more, and oversized or box gutters need more handling. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs get cleared as part of the job, and on any property, home or business, the number of buildings on one site changes the setup. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras, and any spill onto the siding gets wiped down before we leave. Scheduled semi-annual or quarterly service is priced lower than a one-off call, because the crew already knows the building.
On a recent Louisville office job, the quote came from three stories, a low-slope roof with internal drains and four buildings on one site. The managers wanted one invoice per building, which we set up before the first visit. To quote a Louisville property we need the address or site plan, stories, roof type, number of buildings and who the invoice goes to. When you compare gutter cleaning companies or gutter cleaners, ask each one to put the lift, the footage and the report in writing. Cleaning solutions and the final inspection are included in every quote, and we walk the roofline with the on-site contact before we leave the building. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and ask for a written estimate.
| 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.
Across the Louisville 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 Kentucky, spring visits run late May to June, and in Louisville the fall visit runs November to early December. We provide gutter cleaning on that calendar and fit the frequency to your gutter cleaning needs.
The storm season in Kentucky brings spring severe storms, hail and tornadoes, and the managers who call us after a storm usually need the gutters checked for bent sections and pulled hangers. Spring rain runs heaviest in March, April and May, which is when the downspouts carry the most water and a first leak usually shows up as water damage. A clog in an internal drain backs up silently, and a clogged gutter on a flat roof can overflow onto the membrane. The first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists.
What we pull out of a restaurant gutter every second month is grease-bound grit and food debris that a standard cleaning misses. Our crews clear it by hand before flushing each downspout. Gutter cleaning and maintenance on these properties is a short, scheduled visit, and a late-fall visit in November to early December clears the drains before freeze risk sets in. Our cleaning services cover every run on the building, not just the sections visible from the parking lot, and the gutter cleaning process ends with a photo of each run on the property.
| 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 cover commercial properties across Louisville and handle professional gutter cleaning services for office, retail and multifamily sites. We also do residential gutter cleaning for the single homeowner as readily as for a property manager, and we work across commercial and residential properties with the same crew and the same photo report. Our crew serves homeowners and businesses across the Louisville service area, and the same booking desk handles residential and commercial work.
Scheduling works through one contact for every building in the portfolio, and a portfolio that crosses into surrounding areas gets that same single point of contact. We offer gutter cleaning for each building on its own schedule. A date is confirmed in writing, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. Where tenants need quiet hours, we time the work around them, including a thorough gutter cleaning on an occupied site. Lead time is set per property at the time you book, so we confirm the date in writing rather than promising a fixed number of days.
Landscape work on the same site, such as trimmed trees over the roof line, is worth scheduling before a cleaning visit, because leaves and needles pack the downspouts between visits. A gutter company that keeps clean gutters on a fixed calendar catches a blockage before it reaches the fascia, and that regular gutter maintenance is the cheapest way to protect your home or building from water. Gutter protection on its own won't fix a slope problem, so a gutter that still overflows after cleaning usually points to slope, and we say so in the report rather than selling a second cleaning. Clogged runs left untreated can cause roof leaks, which is why the scheduled visit is worth keeping.
We price per building, using linear footage, height and gutter type. Whether the job is billed per linear foot or per building depends on the site, and the number comes to you in writing for each building before we schedule.
The lease decides. Our invoices follow whatever the lease names, so we ask for the lease before we quote. This is not legal advice, so read the maintenance clause or ask the attorney who drafted the lease. The lease-type breakdown is printed above on this page.
On the restaurants and flat roofs we service, quarterly is what keeps the internal drains clear. Grease-bound grit and debris build up between visits, and a standard cleaning misses it, so the monthly check between visits catches early backups.
Yes. We work from a boom or scissor lift on buildings above three stories, with fall protection set up before anyone climbs. The lift is matched to the building, and we confirm the setup with you when we quote.
Yes. We time the work around tenant hours and follow the access rules you give us, including sign-in and parking. Send the rules with the quote request so the crew arrives ready.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the job, along with the gutters and downspouts. Each drain gets a thorough cleaning, and we photograph it before and after and note anything we find in the report.
After a severe storm, the post-storm call-outs usually turn up bent sections, pulled hangers and debris packed into downspouts, and a clogged gutter that can overflow may mean water damage behind the siding, so we photograph and report each one and only repair what you authorize, since we do not do gutter repair ourselves.
Yes. We invoice per building and set up one recurring schedule across all the properties in a portfolio. Each building gets its own invoice with the linear footage shown, so a board or owner can check it. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline to book a date for each building.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
