We quote commercial gutter cleaning per building in Peabody, priced from each building's footprint and height. Our crew is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs, and every job is done with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift, with a photo report afterward. We work through the spring and fall visits for office, retail and multifamily properties on our Peabody route.
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 this commercial 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. Before you compare gutter cleaning companies, line up the quotes on the same basis: per building, with the footage and stories listed. Our number comes from what the building actually needs, and we put it in writing so the invoice matches the quote.
What moves the quote is what we run into on properties. A building above three stories needs a boom or scissor lift and the fall-protection setup that goes with it, which is why gutter cleaners price height into the quote. Compacted debris, or a clog at a downspout elbow, on a system nobody has cleaned in years takes longer to clear and dispose of. A gutter guard on the run has to be lifted and reseated, and a run pulled away from the siding is noted on the report. Oversized or box gutters, or a gutter system with long runs, take more time per run, and roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs need their own clearing. The number of buildings on one site also changes the total, because setup is shared across them. A thorough cleaning means every run gets done, not only the ones visible from the parking lot. Downspout flushing, debris haul-off and a final inspection are included per building and are never 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 dates are booked ahead.
On a recent Peabody job, a four-story office with a low-slope roof and two rows of box gutters came in on a lift setup because the back run could not be reached from the ground. The quote was driven by the height, the lift time and the number of downspouts to flush. To quote a Peabody property we need the address or a site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who the invoice goes to. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will send 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 Peabody properties we service, most are on twice a year, in spring and late fall, while restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees go on quarterly. That schedule comes from what we pull out of the gutters on each visit, not from a rule of thumb. Regular cleaning is the simplest way to protect your home or business from water damage.
The managers who call us after a storm see the same pattern: loose debris, landscape debris from nearby beds, pulled hangers and standing water on flat roofs. Spring brings the seed and pollen load into the downspout elbows, where a blockage often starts, and a clogged gutter there can back water up onto the siding. The fall brings the wet leaf mat that sits in the runs until the first hard freeze. Our cleaning services, and the thorough gutter cleaning they include, are timed around those two loads so the drains stay open through the season.
Flat roofs need more attention than sloped ones. Parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without any warning, and the first thing a tenant usually notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, often the first sign of a leak. That is why the monthly check between cleanings exists on these properties. Our cleaning process on a flat roof includes clearing the strainer domes, checking the scupper outlets and noting any water that is pooling, with cleaning solutions chosen for the debris on site. A professional gutter cleaning services visit on these buildings is planned around the drains, not only the visible gutters. Water damage on a commercial building usually starts at a blockage at the outlet, which can overflow onto the roof, so the drains get as much attention as the gutters.
| 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.
As a gutter company, our crew works on commercial properties across Peabody, which is our service area, including business districts and corridors where we have serviced buildings before. Portfolios that reach into surrounding areas get the same scheduling. A property manager with several buildings works with one contact for the whole portfolio, and the dates are confirmed in writing before the crew arrives. Our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival and can time the work around tenant hours where that is asked for. This is the same professional gutter cleaning process we use on single buildings, scaled to a site with multiple roofs.
For a multi-site portfolio, we set up one scheduled plan for gutter cleaning and maintenance covering every building, with the footage and stories measured once and reused for each visit. That keeps the gutter maintenance consistent across properties and makes the invoices easy to check against the work done. Residential gutter cleaning for a homeowner is handled by the same crew, and scheduling works the same for homeowners and businesses. We also do residential gutter cleaning on mixed-use lots where the property is part of a larger portfolio. We provide gutter cleaning for residential and commercial properties under one contract when a portfolio includes both. A company managing both kinds of building can use one schedule for all of them, and we offer gutter cleaning on the same calendar. Blocked gutters on a flat roof or an office building can cause roof leaks, so each cleaning is documented with photos of every run. Lead times are set when the date is booked, not promised in advance. To set up a portfolio, call (866) 435-6328 or book a date.
Tell us your gutter cleaning needs and we price per building, using the linear footage, the height and the gutter type together. The number comes in writing for each building before the crew is dispatched, so you can compare it to other quotes on the same basis.
The lease decides, so check the maintenance clause in yours or ask the attorney who drafted it. The lease types and who they usually put on the hook are set out in the section above. This is not legal advice, and we bill whichever party the lease names.
On the restaurants and flat roofs we service, quarterly is the schedule that keeps drains open, because grease and debris build up faster than on a standard building, and a clogged gutter can overflow sooner. A spring and fall visit is enough for most office and retail properties.
Yes. Buildings above three stories are done from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection in place on every job. The lift is matched to the building height at the time of the quote.
Yes. We schedule around tenant hours and follow the on-site access rules the property manager gives us. Our crew checks in with the on-site contact when they arrive.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the job, along with the gutters and downspouts. Gutter protection work such as guard installation is not part of the visit, and any problem that needs repair is photographed and reported rather than fixed on the spot.
After a severe storm, the post-storm call-outs usually turn up debris in the runs, pulled hangers and water standing on flat roofs. We photograph each finding and send the report with the invoice so the property manager has a record.
Yes. We invoice per building and set up one recurring schedule covering all of the properties in a portfolio, with the dates confirmed in writing. Call (866) 435-6328 to book a date or set up the schedule.
