We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning in Dundalk per building, 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. We work on office, retail and multifamily buildings across the city, and spring and late fall are the windows most property managers book.
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 our gutter cleaning service per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement before anyone is dispatched. Our crew has to answer a handful of questions first: how many stories, what roof type, how many buildings on the site, and who the invoice goes to.
Height is the biggest single driver on our jobs. Above three stories the crew works from a boom or scissor lift, which adds setup time under fall-protection rules. A clog of compacted debris on a system that has not been cleaned in years takes longer to clear and haul. Gutter protection that has to be lifted and reseated before the cleaning, oversized or box gutters, and roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs all add time. The number of buildings on one site lowers the per-building cost when they are serviced on the same visit. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off, including what lands on the surrounding areas, are included per building and are not billed as extras, and scheduled semi-annual or quarterly service is priced lower than a one-off call.
Our experience with commercial properties in Dundalk shows the same pattern: the quote follows what the crew finds on the roof, not a fixed rate card, and when a run starts to overflow, water goes down the siding and onto the wall below. To quote your property, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline with the address or a site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings, and the name of the party the invoice goes to. On a mixed-use building the upper floors are someone's home, and a clear system is what protects your home from the same water. A thorough gutter cleaning on every building means the quote holds once we are on the ladder.
| Per building | |
|---|---|
| Standard, one to two stories | from $150 |
| Oversized box or industrial gutters | from $340 |
| Three stories and up, with a lift | from $455 |
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 Dundalk 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 visits. The spring visit lands in mid to late May across Maryland, and the fall visit runs late November to December. Across Maryland, summer thunderstorms and derechos produce the heaviest post-storm call-outs, and the managers who call us after a storm are usually the ones who skipped the fall visit.
Restaurant gutters fill with grease and food particles that gutter cleaners on a standard visit do not reach, so what we pull out of a restaurant gutter at each quarterly visit is different from what we find on an office building. On flat roofs, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently, and when the gutter system backs up, the first thing the tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister. That is why the monthly check between cleanings exists on those properties, and why a gutter guard still needs a check underneath it.
Property managers who have switched from other gutter cleaning companies tell the crew the same thing about scheduling: a shared calendar across all the buildings makes the cleaning services easier to plan than booking each building on its own. We set up the cleaning process around the needs of each home or business and send a final inspection photo set for every building once the crew is down. A homeowner with a residential and commercial building on one lot gets the same single invoice and photo set.
| 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 provide gutter cleaning to commercial properties across the business corridors of Dundalk, and our crew has serviced buildings in the business parks and retail strips the city is known for. Professional gutter cleaning services on a commercial building look different from a residential job, and the scheduling reflects that.
For a property manager with several buildings, we run one contact for all of them. A date is confirmed in writing, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. If we find a blockage on one building, it goes in the photo report with the others, so any water damage risk is visible before it spreads. We offer gutter cleaning and maintenance on a recurring schedule, so the portfolio is handled as one account rather than a set of separate calls.
We serve homeowners and businesses alike, and the same crew handles a commercial building and a residential gutter job in the same service area. The scheduling approach is the same either way: one contact, one invoice, and photos of every run. If the building has landscape beds under the eaves, tell us which cleaning solutions to keep away from them and we will plan the work around that. Tell us your gutter cleaning needs and the building count, and call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline to book a date for the first building.
We quote it per building. The number depends on linear footage, the height and how many stories the building has, and the gutter type. We write the figure per building in writing before we are dispatched.
The lease decides, not us. Read the maintenance clause in your lease and tell us who the invoice goes to, and we bill that party. This is not legal advice, so ask the attorney who drafted the lease if the clause is unclear.
On the restaurants and flat-roof buildings we service, quarterly is what keeps the gutters and internal drains clear. Grease and debris build faster on those roofs than on a standard office building, and a clogged gutter can cause roof leaks, so the monthly check between cleanings catches a backup before the first leak reaches the ceiling.
Yes. Taller commercial buildings are quoted on their height, and the crew sets up the access equipment for the roof before work starts. We confirm the setup when we quote the building.
Yes. We schedule around tenant hours where asked and check in with the on-site contact on arrival. Tell us the access rules when you book, and we will plan the gutter cleaning process around them.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the visit, along with the gutters and downspouts. Anything else we find, such as a cracked scupper or a separated seam, is photographed and reported, not repaired.
After a severe storm, the post-storm call-outs from commercial and residential properties most often turn up debris packed into the downspouts and gutters that were already near capacity. We inspect and clear what we find, then send a photo report so you can see what changed.
As a gutter company, we invoice per building and set up a recurring schedule for gutter maintenance across several properties under one contact. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will put the schedule in writing.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
