We quote commercial gutter cleaning in Lynn one building at a time, priced from footprint and height. Every job runs with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift, and you get a photo report of each run afterward. Our crew is scheduled and employed, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Across Massachusetts we clean office, retail and multifamily buildings, booked for the spring and fall visits.
Quoted per building from footage, height and gutter type, in writing, before anyone is dispatched. Scheduled service costs less than a call-out.
Our gutter cleaning service is quoted per building, from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or satellite measurement before anyone is dispatched. Thorough gutter cleaning is priced on the full footage, including the runs you can't see from the parking lot. A quote for a Lynn building is the number on the invoice.
What moves a quote on our jobs is height. A building above three stories needs a boom or scissor lift under fall-protection rules, and that changes the setup. A clog of compacted debris on a system nobody has cleaned in years takes longer. A gutter guard or gutter protection that has to be lifted and reseated adds time, and so do oversized or box gutters and roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs. Where water has overflowed onto the siding, the crew checks the wall below the run before it leaves. A thorough cleaning on a big system takes the crew longer than a quick pass. The number of buildings on one site also changes the math. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building, 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 measured.
On a recent Lynn job for a multi-tenant office building, the quote came down to stories, roof type and the number of buildings on the lot, plus what the crew found in the gutters. The owner's invoice went to the management company, which is the detail we ask for first. To quote a Lynn property we need the address or site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, how many buildings are involved, and who the invoice goes to.
| 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 Lynn 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 tree cover on quarterly. Across Massachusetts, spring visits run late May to June and fall visits late October to November. The storm season drives the post-storm call-outs, and the managers who call us after a nor'easter usually find debris packed into the downspout elbows. Gutter cleaners who wait for a call usually arrive after the overflow, which is why the schedule is set in advance.
What we pull out of a restaurant gutter every second month is grease-laced leaf mat and food packaging that the cleaning services above the kitchen vent never reach. Heavy tree cover and landscape debris fill the gutters faster, so those properties come back sooner. The gutter cleaning process is the same on every building, but the interval is set by what the gutters actually hold, whether it is a home or business.
On a flat roof, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without any sound. The first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, which is why the monthly check between cleanings, part of gutter maintenance, exists on those roofs. A gutter system that looks clear from the ground can still be holding water behind the fascia, which is why every visit ends with a final inspection of the downspouts and drains. Both residential and commercial properties need a clear path for runoff. Gutter cleaning companies that only book one-off visits leave the interval to chance, and a building manager with one of each usually asks for a single schedule across the portfolio.
| 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 for commercial properties across the business districts of Lynn where our crews have already serviced buildings, and for a single building or a whole campus. Our service area takes in Lynn and the surrounding areas, so buildings across town still run on one booking. For a property manager with several buildings we set one contact for all of them, confirm each date in writing, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact when they arrive. Work can be timed around tenant hours if you ask. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline to book a date.
Our professional gutter cleaning services cover the same scope for every building in the portfolio, so a multi-site owner gets one invoice per building with the footage shown. We also offer gutter cleaning for residential gutter systems, so a homeowner gets the same crew and photo report that a business does, and one schedule can cover homeowners and businesses in the same town. Our cleaning solutions are scoped per building from the site plan. Whatever the gutter cleaning and maintenance needs of the site, the first call sets the calendar. Choosing a gutter company that keeps the same crew on the same building is how a schedule holds. A water damage claim often traces back to a blockage that could have been cleared on a scheduled visit, so we keep the calendar tight for properties with a history of overflow. Keeping that calendar is how you protect your home or business from the same risk.
We price per building from footage, height and gutter type. The gutter cleaning process starts with that quote, and the number comes to you in writing before the crew is dispatched. Per linear foot and per building are both ways to see the cost, and the quote tells you which one applies to your site.
The lease decides. The section above lays out how triple net, gross and silent leases read, and we invoice whichever party the lease names. This is not legal advice, so check the maintenance clause of your lease.
On the Lynn properties we service, quarterly is the rule for restaurants and flat roofs with internal drains, because grease and debris build up faster than on most commercial buildings.
Yes. Taller commercial buildings, above three stories, are worked from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection set up for the building, and the lift is confirmed on the quote so there are no surprises on the day.
Yes. Tell us the access window and any rules for parking, deliveries or entry, and the crew follows them. Call (866) 435-6328 to set the schedule.
Both. Roof drains and scuppers are cleared of debris and the strainer domes are reseated. A blocked scupper is a common source of a leak. We don't repair them; anything we find is photographed and reported.
The post-storm call-outs usually turn up debris packed into downspout elbows and leaf mats that let water sit behind the fascia. A clogged gutter can cause roof leaks, so we clean gutters on the affected runs and send photos of every run so the manager has a record.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice with the footage shown, and a recurring schedule can cover the whole portfolio. Text a photo of the roofline to start, or ask for a written estimate.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
