We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building in Dearborn, priced from the footprint and height of each roofline. Our crew is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Every job runs with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift, and you get a photo report of every run once the work is done. Call (866) 435-6328 or book a date 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.
Some gutter cleaning companies quote by the foot alone. 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 priced to the building, and the cleaning process is the same on every property: gutters cleared, downspouts flushed, debris hauled off site. The cleaning solutions for flushing are part of the per-building price.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what we actually run into. Commercial buildings above three stories need a boom or scissor lift and fall protection set up before anyone climbs. Compacted debris in a gutter system not cleaned in years takes longer than a light seasonal load. Each gutter guard or other gutter protection that must be lifted and reseated adds time, and oversized or box gutters take more linear footage to clear. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs are scoped separately, and the number of buildings on one site changes the setup. 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.
Every property we take on starts with one question: what does the building need? A homeowner with one gutter run and a property manager with six buildings get the same written process, because residential and commercial jobs are quoted the same way, building by building. Dearborn offices, retail and multifamily buildings get quoted that way too, and a third-story roofline, a built-up flat roof or blocked elbows each push a quote up. To quote a Dearborn property, we need the address or site plan, whether it is a home or business, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who the invoice goes to. The final inspection happens before we leave the site. Call (866) 435-6328 or book a date for a written quote.
| Per building | |
|---|---|
| Standard, one to two stories | from $150 |
| Oversized box or industrial gutters | from $295 |
| Three stories and up, with a lift | from $395 |
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 Dearborn properties we service are on twice a year, spring and late fall, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees on quarterly. Across Michigan, severe thunderstorms bring a round of post-storm call-outs, and the managers who call us after a storm are usually looking at debris that has been sitting in the system since the last visit. Spring pulls seed, pollen and grit from nearby landscape beds into the downspouts, and a single clog there can send water over the gutter line. Fall brings the wet leaf mat that sits on the gutter line through the freeze.
On a flat roof the parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently, and a blockage at one drain can go unnoticed until a tenant sees it. The first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, which is why we check the drains between cleanings. The professional gutter cleaning services on these buildings are scheduled around that check, not around a calendar date alone.
A restaurant gutter gets grease and food-service debris on top of the leaves, and what we pull out every second month would surprise most owners. The same is true of an industrial site with an overhead run: the debris is heavier and the access is tighter. Our approach is to set the interval from what the building is doing, so the schedule follows the property rather than the other way round. Gutter cleaning and maintenance on a schedule costs less over a year than emergency calls, and scheduled gutter maintenance keeps an overflow from damaging the siding below. Gutter cleaning needs change with the building, so we provide gutter cleaning on the interval each building needs, and we would rather adjust the plan than let a run go a season without a look. Text a photo of the roofline to (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you which interval fits.
| 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.
Dearborn sits inside our service area, and we work the business districts and corridors, including flat-roofed retail, multi-story offices and older brick buildings with built-in gutters. Scheduling works through one contact for every building in a portfolio. A date is confirmed in writing, the crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival, and work is timed around tenant hours where that is asked for. Every run gets a thorough cleaning. When a clogged gutter has already caused a leak through the wall, we note it in the report, because a leak like that usually means the gutter cleaning process alone will not fix it.
For a multi-site owner, we set up one invoice per building with the linear footage shown, so each property can be checked against its own line. We offer gutter cleaning for homeowners and businesses, and residential gutter cleaning is booked from the same office as our commercial and residential properties, so a mixed portfolio runs on one calendar. Our gutter cleaners also cover the surrounding areas, and the same written process applies there. Clean gutters on every building are a maintenance decision, and a thorough cleaning is one way to protect your home from water running down the wall. Regular service from a gutter company that knows the building is how a clogged gutter stops turning into the kind of problem that can cause roof leaks over the year. Call (866) 435-6328 or book a date to get every building on one schedule.
We price per building, from the linear footage, the height and the gutter type, and we put the number in writing before anyone is dispatched. Per-foot pricing gives a rough idea, but the building's height and debris load decide the final figure, so we quote from a site plan or satellite measurement.
The lease decides, not us, and the section above on who pays lays out how each lease type usually reads. This is not legal advice, so check the maintenance clause of your lease or ask the attorney who drafted it. We invoice whichever party the lease names.
On the restaurants and flat roofs we service in Dearborn, quarterly is what keeps the drains clear. Grease and roof debris build up faster on those buildings than on a standard two-story office. We check the internal drains between cleanings for the same reason.
Yes. We work from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection set up before anyone climbs, and we bring whichever lift the roofline needs. Height is the biggest single factor in a commercial quote, so tell us the stories when you call.
Yes, we time the work around tenant hours and sign in with the on-site contact on arrival. Tell us the access rules when you book, and we will confirm the schedule in writing. Text a photo of the roofline to (866) 435-6328 if the access is complicated.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the building's scope, and the strainer domes are reseated afterward. A drain left blocked is how water damage starts on a flat roof, so we clear them on every visit. Anything beyond clearing, such as a broken drain or a failed scupper, is photographed and reported, not repaired by us.
After a severe storm the call-outs usually turn up debris packed into the downspouts and gutters pulled loose from their hangers. A thorough cleaning after the storm clears that debris, and we photograph every affected run and send the report before we leave, so you know what the storm left behind. Ask for a written estimate for the post-storm visit at (866) 435-6328.
Yes. For commercial properties with several buildings, we invoice each building separately with the linear footage shown, and a recurring schedule can cover them all on one calendar with one contact. Book a date for the first visit and we will set the rest of the plan from what the buildings need.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
