We quote commercial gutter work in Severn per building, from its footprint and height, and give you the number in writing before anyone is dispatched. Our crew does the work, not a roofer between re-roofs, and every job runs with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift. You get a photo report of every run when we finish. Property managers, HOA boards and facilities leads book us for spring and fall visits, and we keep the same crew on the same buildings.
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 a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. Our cleaning services are scoped to what is on the roof, and the gutter cleaning process starts with a look at the gutter system before we clear a foot of it.
Height is the biggest mover. Above three stories we run a boom or scissor lift under fall-protection rules, and that changes the crew, the time and the number. Compacted debris on a system nobody has cleaned in years takes longer than a light leaf load, and a clog at a downspout elbow means the crew has to open the run to reach it. A gutter guard that must be lifted and reseated adds time. Oversized or box gutters and roof drains with scuppers on flat roofs add time too. The number of commercial buildings on one site sets how we schedule the crew.
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 footage is already measured and the dates are booked ahead. Every job ends with a final inspection of each run and drain before the crew leaves. When you compare gutter cleaning companies or gutter cleaners, ask what each number covers. Where a run is greasy, the cleaning solutions are matched to the buildup. We tell you the number on the phone and it is the number on the invoice.
The experience paragraph is scoped to what we can show. We need an address or site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and the name of who the invoice goes to to quote a Severn property. We measure residential and commercial properties the same way, so a homeowner gets the same written number a property manager does. The same method goes to any home or business we clean. Send those and we write the quote for each building separately, so a board or owner can check each line.
Call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the roofline and we will reply with a written estimate.
| 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.
On the Severn properties we service, most are on twice a year, in spring and late fall, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees on quarterly. Those are the ones that fill fastest, and professional gutter cleaning services should follow what the roof is doing, not a calendar. A plan for homeowners and businesses starts on this rhythm, and it changes once a building shows what it sheds.
After storms we pull seed, grit and whole leaf mats out of runs that looked clear from the ground. Spring brings pollen paste into the downspout elbows, and fall brings the wet leaf load. A building next to a heavy landscape of trees fills fastest in fall. Where there is no freeze, the buildup runs through the year; where there is a freeze, the ice behind a blockage is what sags the hangers.
On flat roofs the parapets and scuppers back up without a sound. The first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile, a membrane blister or water damage in the space below, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists on those roofs. Our crew photographs the drains each time so the manager sees the condition, not a guess.
Gutter cleaning needs on a restaurant or tree-covered site come around sooner than the calendar suggests, and gutter cleaning and maintenance is set with the property manager once the first visit shows what is in the system. We offer gutter cleaning on that schedule for each building, and we provide gutter cleaning across the portfolio with one contact.
Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the roof to book a date.
| 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 Severn and the surrounding areas, and Severn is the core of our service area. We handle a multi-building portfolio on one schedule with one contact. A property manager gets one name, one calendar and one invoice per building, with the linear footage shown on each. We confirm each date in writing, and the crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival.
Work is timed around tenant hours where asked, and we plan access so the ladders and lift do not block a loading dock or a lot in use. Every run gets a full cleaning, not a quick look from the ground. If a building has a clogged gutter that holds water against the fascia, we photograph it and say so in the report, because a clogged gutter that overflows onto a sidewalk becomes a complaint.
Our gutter company crews clean gutters the same way on every site, from the first walk to the final photo report. We do not sell repairs on the way out, and gutter maintenance decisions stay with you. If a run leaks or a seam is open, we write it down, because standing water and open seams can cause roof leaks that get expensive.
We also do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners in the area, so the same crew serves commercial and residential properties on the same route, and any home or business we serve gets the same schedule. Commercial buildings are the focus, and the schedule stays the same whether the building is an office or a plaza. Call (866) 435-6328 to book a date for the first visit.
We quote per building, and the number depends on the linear footage, the height and the gutter type, so the price moves with those three things. We put the number in writing before we are dispatched. Pricing per linear foot gets you a different total, so we ask what the building needs and quote that. A thorough gutter cleaning is priced on the whole run, not the part that is easy to see. Gutter protection is a separate job and gets its own quote.
The lease decides, and the section above on who pays lays out the cases. We do not give legal advice. We write the invoice to whoever the lease names, so the property manager is not stuck between the two parties.
On the restaurants and flat roofs we service, quarterly is what keeps the internal drains clear. Grease, grit and leaves back up those systems faster than a standard building, and a clog in an internal drain shows up as a stain on the ceiling below, long after it started.
Yes. Above three stories we work from a boom or scissor lift under fall-protection rules, and the lift is matched to the building. The lift is part of the quote, so ask for it when you send the roofline photo.
Yes. We schedule around tenant hours and access rules where asked, and we plan the ladders and lift so they do not block a dock or a lot in use. Tell us the rules when you book.
We clear the gutters, the downspouts and the roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs. Where a drain is blocked below grade we say so and quote it separately. Roof drains on a flat roof are the part most often missed by a standard visit. On commercial properties, the missed drain is the one that turns into a leak.
After a storm we get calls from managers whose gutters pulled loose or filled with debris that was not there the month before. We inspect the runs, clear what is blocking flow, and photograph any siding stained where a run let water overflow. Keeping the runs clear is how you protect your home at the eaves. Storm season is when those calls come in most, so book early.
Yes. We invoice per building with the footage shown, and we set up one recurring schedule across the properties. One contact, one calendar and one set of photos for the whole portfolio. Each visit is a thorough cleaning of every run and drain, with the photos to prove it. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us the list of addresses to start.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
