We quote commercial gutter work per building in Lafayette, priced from each roofline's footprint and height, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job and a photo report once we finish. Our crew is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. We service office, retail and multifamily properties across Louisiana, and most managers book us in 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.
We quote each building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. Height is the biggest factor on our jobs. Above three stories we bring a boom or scissor lift matched to the building, and the lift is part of the quote from the start. Compacted debris on a system nobody has opened in years takes longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, oversized or box gutters, and roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs all add time, and we price them when we see them. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are never billed as extras. Scheduled semi-annual or quarterly service comes in lower than a one-off call, because the crew already knows the building. The gutter cleaning service on your property stays the same whether you call once or book a schedule. Clog removal, leaf and grit buildup, and the siding damage that overflow causes below a blocked run are all part of what we check. Our goal is to protect your home or business from water getting behind the fascia, and that is why every run gets a flow test before we leave. On a commercial property, one clear run keeps water damage out of the ceiling, and June, July and August are the wettest months here, so book before summer. We cover the surrounding areas of Lafayette and the nearby service area, and we handle thorough cleaning on each building so nothing gets skipped. Thorough gutter cleaning means every run, every downspout and every drain on the site, not just the sections visible from the parking lot. For a property with several buildings, we set one rate per building and one invoice for the site. Each visit, we explain what we cleared and what we found. Where we see signs of a larger problem, like a pulled hanger or a slope issue that makes water pool, we photograph it and report it. Our crew has cleaned commercial properties in Lafayette where the quote came in under the owner's expectation, and the difference was the lift access and the roof type. Send us a site plan or a few photos and we will tell you exactly what sets the number.
| 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 Lafayette properties we service, most are on twice a year, spring and late fall. Restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover are on quarterly. In Louisiana the storm season runs through hurricane months, and the managers who call us after a storm are usually the ones who had nothing booked. Post-storm inspections turn up debris packed into downspout elbows and water sitting in scuppers, and any blockage in a scupper gets cleared before the crew leaves, which is why we fit a check in after big weather. Leaf, pollen and landscape debris loads are heavy enough in spring that a single visit a year leaves most systems backed up by summer. On the flat roofs we see, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently, and the first thing the tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile, a membrane blister or a leak. That is why we run a monthly check between cleanings on those buildings. Our gutter cleaning process for a restaurant is a little different: grease and food debris build a film inside the gutters, so the crew scrapes and rinses instead of just clearing leaves. Industrial sites often have larger gutter systems that need a longer visit. Whatever the property, and whether it has a gutter guard or not, we match the schedule to what we pull out of the system each time. A homeowner with a clogged gutter and two trees over the roof may need the same frequency as one of our commercial buildings with no trees at all, if the gutter system is the same. We can set up the schedule for a single building or for a portfolio of residential and commercial properties with different cleaning solutions. Book the next date while you are looking at the calendar, and we will confirm it 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.
At city scope, our cleaning services reach business districts and corridors across Lafayette, and we have professional gutter cleaning crews working in the city every week. We provide gutter cleaning for office parks, retail strips and multifamily properties, and we offer gutter cleaning and maintenance on the same visit when a building needs it. Our gutter cleaning needs list for a commercial site starts with the building's age and the roof type, and we build the visit from there. Every property manager gets one contact for all buildings in the portfolio. We confirm the date in writing, our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival, and we time the work around tenant hours when that is asked. Every visit ends with a final inspection of each run before the crew leaves. For a multi-site portfolio we run one schedule across the properties, with one invoice per building. When you compare gutter cleaners and gutter cleaning companies, ask how they reach the upper stories and whether the quote comes per building. The crew also does residential gutter cleaning for homeowners and businesses in the city, though the focus here is commercial. We serve commercial and residential properties, and we will tell you if a building needs a different crew. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the roofline and we will set the date.
Our professional gutter cleaning services are quoted per building, and the number depends on linear footage, height and gutter type. Each building gets its own number in writing, so the board or the owner can see what each one costs.
The lease decides, not state law. Read the maintenance clause in your lease or ask the attorney who drafted it, and see the section above for how the common lease types read. This is not legal advice, but we will write the invoice to whichever party the lease names.
On the restaurants and flat roofs we service, quarterly is the schedule that holds. Grease film and back-up at the parapets build faster than leaves alone, and the monthly check between visits catches a blocked scupper before it stains a ceiling.
Yes. Above three stories we work from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection set up before anyone climbs. Height changes the price, so send us the stories and we will confirm the setup.
Yes. As a gutter company that works on occupied sites, we time the work around tenant hours and check in with the on-site contact on arrival, so access rules are set before the lift comes off the trailer.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the visit, along with the gutters. A blocked drain can cause roof leaks, so we clear it every time. If a drain is cracked or a strainer dome is missing, we photograph it and report it rather than repairing it. Gutter protection is not part of this visit, so the photo report lists what needs fixing and you decide what to install.
After a storm we see debris packed into downspout elbows and standing water in scuppers, and we book a post-storm visit to clear it. Call (866) 435-6328 to get a crew on the schedule.
Yes. We invoice per building and run one recurring schedule across a portfolio, so the manager gets one date and one set of photos per site. Routine gutter maintenance can go on the same schedule, priced per building. Book a date and we will confirm it in writing.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
