We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building in Owensboro, priced from each building's footprint and height, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job and a photo report when we finish. Our crew is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Most of the Owensboro work we take is office, retail and multifamily buildings booked ahead of spring and late fall.
Quoted per building from footage, height and gutter type, in writing, before anyone is dispatched. Scheduled service costs less than a call-out.
Every gutter cleaning service we quote is priced per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. A standard one- to two-story building is the simplest quote we write, and the number climbs from there as the job asks for more, since a thorough cleaning of a taller building takes more crew time. If you are comparing gutter cleaners, ask each one for the same written breakdown so the numbers line up.
What moves the quote on our jobs is height above three stories and the boom or scissor lift it requires under fall-protection rules, compacted debris on a system nobody has cleaned in years, a gutter guard that has to be lifted before the run can be cleared, oversized or box gutters, and roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs. The number of buildings on one site also changes the math, because the crew sets up once and works the whole property. Water that overflows the gutter runs down onto siding and the wall below, so a slow overflow is not a cosmetic problem. 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 knows the building and the dates are set a season ahead. If a building needs gutter protection, that is a separate job with its own quote.
On one Owensboro office building we cleaned, the quote came down to three stories, a low-slope roof with internal drains and two downspouts that discharged onto a walkway with no splash blocks, which is what the photo report flagged. For a property like that, send us the address or a site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who the invoice goes to, and we will put the quote in writing. Text a photo of the roofline to start, or call (866) 435-6328 for a written estimate. The service area covers Owensboro and the surrounding areas, and a commercial property with a clog in the gutter or a slow overflow gets the same thorough gutter cleaning as a new account.
| 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.
Most Owensboro properties we service are on twice a year, spring and late fall, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees on quarterly. The schedule follows what the building actually collects, and we adjust our cleaning services after the first visit.
Across Kentucky, spring storms leave a load of debris in the gutters, and the post-storm call-outs are often the ones that turn up a pulled hanger or a separated seam. Leaf and pollen load from the landscape around a building peaks in the months after the trees leaf out, and that is when a run that looked fine in March starts to back up. Owensboro gets about 47.7 inches of precipitation a year, and March, April and May are the wettest months, so the gutters are working hardest right when the debris is at its peak. On a flat roof the 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 on the flat-roof accounts.
A restaurant on a quarterly plan is a good example of how the cadence works. The grease and fine debris from the kitchen exhaust side builds up faster than the leaves do, so the crew finds a different kind of blockage every second visit. If the grease needs cleaning solutions, say so when you send the address so the crew comes prepared. The gutter cleaning process for that kind of building is the same as for any other, with a closer look at the downspout outlets and a note in the report on what was found. Every visit ends with a final inspection of each run and drain before the report goes out. On residential and commercial properties alike, the goal is the same: a gutter system that drains on the day it rains, not on the day after. To book a date, call (866) 435-6328 and we will set the next visit.
| 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.
For commercial buildings we offer gutter cleaning across the Owensboro business districts and corridors where we have serviced buildings, from single storefronts to multi-building office and retail sites. Scheduling with us works the way a property manager needs it to work. You get one contact for every building in the portfolio, a date confirmed in writing, and a crew that checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. Where tenants or staff need quiet hours, the crew times the work around them.
Our professional gutter cleaning services also handle the blockage and water damage that come from an overflowing system, which is often the reason a manager calls us after a storm. Where a landscape bed sits against the wall, the debris it drops into the run gets cleared on the same visit. We also provide residential gutter cleaning for a homeowner who wants the same crew on a house, because clean gutters protect your home or business from water in the walls and foundation. Between scheduled visits we also cover the gutter cleaning needs of a property and handle the gutter maintenance that comes up in between. If you have a portfolio that mixes buildings, send the list and we will sort it into one schedule and one invoice per building. Text a photo of the roofline or call (866) 435-6328 to book a date.
We price per building, and linear footage is one of the things that goes into it. Height, gutter type and the number of downspouts change the quote too, so the figure is set building by building and comes in writing before we dispatch. Other gutter cleaning companies may quote a different way, so ask what their number covers.
The lease decides, not the rules that apply to apartments. The lease-type breakdown is in the section above, and we bill whichever party the lease names. This is not legal advice, so read the maintenance clause or ask the attorney who drafted it.
On the restaurants and flat-roof buildings we service, quarterly is the schedule that keeps the drains clear. The grease and fine debris from kitchen exhaust and the silent backup at the parapets are what set that cadence.
Yes. Above three stories we work from a boom or scissor lift, and the crew sets it up to match the building. Height is the biggest single factor in the quote, so tell us the stories when you send the address.
Yes. We time the work around tenant hours where asked and check in with the on-site contact on arrival. If the building has an access rule, send it with the address and the crew follows it.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the visit, and the strainer domes get reseated when we are done. A clogged gutter can cause roof leaks, and so can a blocked drain, so catching the leak at the drain is simpler than tracing it through the ceiling below. Anything we find that needs repair is photographed and reported, not fixed.
After a severe storm the post-storm call-outs usually turn up pulled hangers, separated seams and debris packed into the downspouts. We photograph each one and put it in the report, and the crew clears what can be cleared on the visit.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice with the linear footage shown, so an owner or board can check it. A recurring schedule puts the whole portfolio on one calendar with one gutter company.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
