We quote this work per building in Framingham, priced from each building's footprint and height. Every job is worked with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift, and you get a photo report of every run when we finish. The crew doing the work is ours and scheduled for the job, not a roofer's side work between re-roofs. Most of our Framingham commercial work is in spring and fall, when the seed, leaf and storm loads build up on flat-roof and multi-storey gutters.
Quoted per building from footage, height and gutter type, in writing, before anyone is dispatched. Scheduled service costs less than a call-out.
Our commercial gutter cleaning service is quoted per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. Several things move the number on our jobs. A building over three stories needs a boom or scissor lift and the fall-protection setup that goes with it. Compacted debris on a system nobody has cleaned in years takes longer to clear than a maintained run, and a clog that has sat through a season can back water up over the edge and stain the siding below. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated, and oversized or box gutters take more time per foot. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs are a separate line, and so is the number of buildings on one site. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are never billed as extras. A thorough cleaning takes longer than a quick pass, and we price the thorough gutter cleaning that the building actually needs. Scheduled semi-annual or quarterly service is priced lower than a one-off call, because the crew already knows the building and the footage is on file. Our Framingham commercial cases are quoted the same way: the property type, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings, and what we found on the first visit set the quote. For a Framingham property, we need 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. Send those and we will return a written estimate for each building, with the clog and overflow risks noted where we see them. For a written quote, call (866) 435-6328 or send the site plan.
| 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 commercial properties we service in Framingham are on twice a year, in spring and late fall, and the restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover run on quarterly. On the Framingham properties we service, the managers who call us after a storm are usually the ones who skipped a fall visit. Restaurant and food-service gutters on our jobs are the ones that fill fastest. On a flat roof, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without a sound, and the first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a blistered membrane, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists. Gutter maintenance between visits is a short walk-around, and a gutter guard that has lifted or a gutter protection cover that has shifted gets reseated on the spot. Left alone, a blocked run can cause roof leaks on a flat roof. Our cleaning services for commercial and residential properties follow the same logic: the cleaning process is the same across residential and commercial buildings, and the schedule follows what the gutter system actually collects. We use the same cleaning solutions on every property, and every job ends with a final inspection before the crew leaves the site.
| 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 and maintenance across Framingham and the surrounding areas for commercial properties, and we offer gutter cleaning on multi-building sites as a single scheduled job. Our service area reaches the neighboring towns. For a property manager with several buildings, there is one contact for all of them, a date confirmed in writing, and a crew that checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. Our professional gutter cleaning services are priced by building, not by the hour. Work can be timed around tenant hours where that is asked for. We also do residential gutter cleaning for each homeowner who asks, and we handle homeowners and businesses on the same schedule book. A clean run helps protect your home from water damage at the eaves. Whether it is a home or business, the booking works the same way. Our work covers the blockage, water damage and landscape debris that gutter cleaning needs on a building this size. If you have a portfolio, tell us the buildings and we will set one plan for all of them.
We quote per building and show the linear footage on the invoice so you can check it. Gutter cleaning companies often quote by the foot, but a per-foot price misses height and debris, so the number depends on those and comes in writing before we are dispatched.
The lease decides, not us. See the lease-type section above for how the three common cases usually read. This is general information and not legal advice, so check the maintenance clause of your lease.
On the Framingham properties we service, restaurants and flat roofs with internal drains go on quarterly, because grease, grit and ponding build up faster than on a standard building. A clogged gutter on those roofs is much harder to catch between visits, so a quarterly visit is the cheaper way to catch it.
Yes. Commercial buildings over three stories are cleaned from a boom or scissor lift with the fall-protection setup for the height, and the lift is matched to the roofline.
Yes. We will time the work 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 to clean gutters around them.
Both. Roof drains and scuppers are cleared of debris and the strainer domes are reseated. A gutter company that skips the drains leaves a common cause of roof leaks in place, so our gutter cleaning process includes them. We photograph anything else we find and report it without repairing it.
Across Massachusetts, nor'easters are the storm that fills gutters fastest. After one, the usual finds on our call-outs are downspouts packed with wet leaf mat and gutters pulled loose from the fascia. Water that gets past a packed downspout is how a small blockage turns into a leak at the fascia, so those are photographed and written up in the report, and the cleaning is quoted per building.
Yes. Gutter cleaners often bill a whole site as one line, but each building here gets its own invoice with the footage shown, and we set one recurring schedule across the portfolio. Call (866) 435-6328 or ask for a written estimate to set it up.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
