We quote commercial gutter work per building in Lawrence, priced from each building's footprint and height. Our crew is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Fall protection or a boom or scissor lift goes on every job, and you get a photo report of every run when we finish. Spring and fall are the seasons most of our Lawrence properties book. Call (866) 435-6328 for a written estimate.
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. The number on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Height is the biggest single factor on our jobs. Above three stories the building needs a boom or scissor lift and fall-protection setup, and that changes the crew and the time on site. Compacted debris on a system nobody has cleaned in years takes longer than a routine run. A gutter guard or other gutter protection that has to be lifted and reseated, oversized or box gutters, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and the number of buildings on one site all move the quote. 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 already knows the building and the footage is already measured. Each building on a site is its own gutter cleaning service line on the quote, so the owner can see what each one costs.
On a commercial job the question is usually what it takes to clear the system without a second visit. The gutter cleaning process starts with the address or a site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who the invoice goes to. For a property that has had gutter cleaners out before, we can see what was cleared last time and what came back. Commercial properties with a clogged gutter that causes overflow onto siding or walkways are the ones we see most often, and a thorough gutter cleaning with a flow test catches that before it becomes water damage. A gutter that still overflows after cleaning, even with the clog cleared, usually points to slope, and we say so in the report instead of selling a second cleaning. Our crew covers the surrounding areas we service around Lawrence and the service area for commercial work is set building by building. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will put the figure in writing.
| 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 residential and commercial buildings we service in Lawrence, most are on twice a year, in spring and late fall, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover or with landscape debris on quarterly. Those are the cleaning services we see the most schedules built around.
What we pull out of a restaurant gutter every second month is grease-laden debris that the managers would not expect from the outside, and the cleaning process on those runs is longer for that reason. The managers who call us after a storm tend to book the next visit sooner, because the post-storm inspection turns up separated seams and packed downspouts that did not show before. Between cleanings the gutter system on a flat roof can back up without a sound, so we check drains on the schedule the plan sets.
On flat roofs, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently. The first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile, a membrane blister or a leak at a seam, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists. Our gutter maintenance schedule is set per building so the cleaning solutions match what the property actually loads up with, whether that is leaves, pollen or grit. A final inspection goes into the report at the end of every 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.
Our crew works on commercial and residential properties across Lawrence, and we also run residential gutter cleaning for the homeowner who wants the same crew on a house. The same team serves any home or business that wants one schedule. Scheduling works one way: one contact for every building on the site, a date confirmed in writing, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. Where asked, we time the work around tenant hours, so a property manager does not have to be on the lot for it.
A portfolio of buildings is handled as one account. We can set up a recurring plan for several properties under one invoice, and each building still gets its own report with photos of every run. For the gutter cleaning needs of a multi-site owner, that means one gutter company and one schedule instead of a call for each building. Lead time is set when the date is booked, and we will tell you the next open date when you call. We provide gutter cleaning on a building-by-building basis and offer gutter cleaning and maintenance on the same schedule where a plan is in place. The professional gutter cleaning services we run are the same across every building on the account, and the blockage we clear from a run is what we report if it comes back. Call (866) 435-6328 or book a date, and we will confirm it in writing.
We price it per building, and the number depends on linear footage, height and gutter type. Per-linear-foot pricing is how a lot of gutter cleaning companies quote, and it lands in a similar place, but we write the figure per building in advance so the invoice matches it.
The lease decides, not us. The lease type sets who is responsible, and the section above on who pays lays out how each lease type usually reads. This is not legal advice, so read the maintenance clause of your lease or ask the attorney who drafted it.
On the restaurants and flat-roof properties we service, quarterly is the schedule that holds up. Grease and debris build up faster in a restaurant gutter, and flat roofs back up silently, so the monthly check between cleanings matters on those buildings.
Yes. On commercial buildings above three stories we use a boom or scissor lift with fall-protection setup on every job, and we confirm the height and access when we quote. The lift is matched to the building before the date is booked.
Yes. We time the work around tenant hours where asked and follow the on-site access rules you give us. Our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival so the work fits the building's day.
We clear the roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the visit, along with the gutters and downspouts. Anything else we find is photographed and reported in the report, not repaired.
After a storm, the post-storm call-outs most often turn up packed downspouts, separated seams and a clogged gutter. We inspect the runs and drains, photograph what we find, and clear the blockage before it can cause roof leaks or overflow onto walkways, because that is how you protect your home.
Yes. We invoice per building, so an owner or board can check each one, and we set up a recurring schedule across several properties under one account. Call (866) 435-6328 to set up the schedule, or text a photo of the roofline and we will give you a written estimate.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
