We quote commercial gutter work in Flint per building, from the footprint and height of each property, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job. Our crew does the work ourselves, on a schedule, not as a roofer's side job between re-roofs. We work Flint commercial properties, from office and retail sites to multifamily buildings, and most of them book us 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.
We quote each 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. Height is the biggest factor on our Flint jobs. Above three stories the crew works from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection, and that changes the setup and the quote. A clog packed with compacted debris, on a system nobody has cleaned in years, takes longer than a light seasonal load. Gutter protection that has to be lifted and reseated, oversized or box gutters, and roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs all add time, and we price each one on the building in front of us.
Downspout flushing, debris haul-off and cleaning solutions are included per building and are not billed as extras. A thorough gutter cleaning runs every gutter and downspout on the building, not just the visible runs, and thorough cleaning is what keeps the drains from backing up in the next storm. Cleaning near the siding and trim means the crew protects the surfaces under the run, and that adds setup time. Scheduled semi-annual or quarterly service is priced lower than a one-off call, because the crew already knows the property and the footage is measured. Some gutter cleaning companies quote a flat number before they see the roof and add the lift later, so ours is written after the site plan or measurement.
Our Flint experience is with real properties, and each quote is written for the building it covers. What we need to quote a Flint property is the address or a site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings on the site and who the invoice goes to. A flat roof with internal drains that backs up quietly is a different job from a pitched roof with open gutters, and the written quote says which one you have. Flint and the surrounding areas make up our service area, and a property outside city limits gets the same written quote. Our Flint crew sets up to protect your home or business during the work. We clean gutters, flush every downspout, and send photos of every run so you can see the work before you sign off on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline, and we will send a written estimate per building.
| 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.
On the Flint properties we service, most sites 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 visits. Spring visits across Michigan usually land in late May to June, and our fall visits run October to early November. Our cleaning services are scheduled around those two visits, and the schedule works the same for residential and commercial buildings. Every gutter system we service, whether a homeowner or a building manager is paying, gets the same check, and a gutter guard that has lifted or shifted is reseated before the crew leaves. Gutter cleaners who book one-off calls usually show up after the problem, while a scheduled visit catches it first. Across Michigan the pattern holds: the severe thunderstorm season and the post-storm inspections are what bring the managers back to us, because storm debris lands in the gutters and downspouts on the same afternoon the roof takes the hit. Leaves, pollen and landscape debris load the runs every spring and fall, and that is the cleaning the schedule is built around.
On a flat roof, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without a sound. A clogged gutter that starts to overflow at the eaves is often the first sign, and a leak usually shows up as a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists. Our crew books that check into the same schedule so the property never goes a full season without someone looking at the drains. That check is part of our gutter maintenance routine. The cleaning process itself is the same on every visit: clear, flush, bag the debris, then photograph each run and drain. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline to book a date for your next 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.
We cover Flint's business districts, corridors and business parks where we have serviced commercial properties, and we handle multi-building portfolios and multi-site accounts as one job. For a property manager that means one contact for every building, a date confirmed in writing, and a crew that checks in with the on-site contact when it arrives. We can time the work around tenant hours where that is asked for, and we set the same schedule across every property on the account.
Our crew does professional gutter cleaning services on commercial buildings, and we also provide gutter cleaning for residential properties through the same crew. A residential gutter cleaning visit runs on the same written quote, so a portfolio of commercial and residential properties can be handled under one invoice. We offer gutter cleaning and maintenance on a recurring basis for homeowners and businesses, and we can match the schedule to your gutter cleaning needs building by building. A clogged roof drain can lead to water damage inside a building, and we flag any blockage we find in the report so the on-site contact knows what to watch. We do not promise same-day or next-day dates; lead time is confirmed when you book.
We price per building, and linear footage, height and gutter type all feed into the number. Each property gets its own written quote, and the gutter cleaning process behind it is the same on every building, so you can see what each factor contributes.
Your lease decides, not us. The lease section on this page covers the common lease types, and the invoice goes to whichever party the lease names. We can't give legal advice here, so check the maintenance clause in your lease or ask the attorney who drafted it.
On the restaurants and flat-roof buildings we service in Flint, quarterly is the schedule that keeps the drains clear. Between visits we check the roof drains and scuppers so a backup does not go unnoticed.
Yes. Above three stories the crew works from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection, and the lift is matched to the building. We confirm the setup in the written quote.
Yes. We time the work around tenant hours where that is asked for, and we check in with the on-site contact on arrival so access rules are followed before the lift goes up.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the building visit, since a backed-up drain is one of the ways a flat roof starts to cause roof leaks. Each one gets a photo in the report. Repair of any problem we find is not part of the visit.
After a severe thunderstorm the post-storm call-outs most often turn up debris packed into downspouts and gutters that were already loaded. When you call, we schedule the final inspection and send photos of every run in the report.
Yes. We invoice per building, and we set one recurring schedule across a portfolio so every property is on the calendar. Call (866) 435-6328 to set it up, or ask for a written estimate per building. One gutter company contact covers the whole portfolio, so the property manager deals with one contact instead of one per site.
