We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building in Georgetown Township, priced from each building's footprint and height. Fall protection or a boom or scissor lift goes on every job, and you get a photo report of every run when we finish.
Our crew is scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Each visit is booked a season ahead and handled by the people who will be on the ladder or the lift. Spring and late fall are the windows most of our Georgetown Township properties use. Call (866) 435-6328 or book a date, and we will put your quote in writing.
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 a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. A thorough cleaning of each building is what the number covers.
On our Georgetown Township jobs the quote moves with a few things we run into on properties. Height above three stories means a boom or scissor lift and the fall-protection setup that goes with it. A clog low in the downspout, or compacted debris on a system not cleaned in years, takes longer than a light seasonal load. A thorough gutter cleaning on long runs takes more crew time than a quick clear. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated, oversized or box gutters, and roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs all add time. Gutter protection such as guard installation is quoted separately. Overflow that has run down the wall for seasons can stain siding, and we photograph it for the report. The number of buildings on one site matters too, since we can often schedule them in one visit. 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 quote we write for a commercial property starts with the same information: the address or site plan, stories, roof type, number of buildings, and who the invoice goes to. On a Georgetown Township property we ask for those first so the number we send is the number we invoice. Across the work we do for property managers, the quotes that take the longest are the ones where the site plan is missing and we measure from the ground. Buildings in surrounding areas are quoted the same way, from the same site plan.
| 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 of the Georgetown Township properties on our cleaning services list go twice a year, spring and late fall. Restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover go quarterly. A gutter guard changes the work, since the cleaning becomes a lift-and-reseat job. The schedule runs the same way for residential and commercial buildings, and a homeowner with one house gets the same logic as a property manager with several.
What we pull out of gutters after a storm season is the first thing that shows the schedule is right. The post-storm inspections we run turn up loosened hangers and debris packed into the downspouts, and the managers who call us after a storm usually have a building that went longer than it should have. Across Michigan, severe thunderstorms are the storm season we plan around, and the spring window runs late May to June. Pollen and leaf load are heavier in some months than others, which is why the spring and fall windows are set the way they are. Georgetown Township's wettest months are April, May and June.
On flat roofs, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently. The first thing a tenant notices is a leak, a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, not a gutter. That is why the monthly check between cleanings exists on those roofs, so a blocked drain is found before it reaches the ceiling below. Each visit follows the same cleaning process, and it ends with a final inspection of every drain before the crew leaves. The right cleaning solutions depend on the roof, and the frequency follows from that.
A gutter system on a flat roof drains through scuppers and internal drains, so a missed visit shows up there first. Gutter cleaners are usually called after the damage shows, and gutter cleaning companies that run a schedule catch it earlier. Whether it is a home or business, the schedule is set by the roof and the trees, not by the calendar alone.
| 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.
For commercial properties in Georgetown Township we work the business districts, corridors and business parks in our service area where we have serviced buildings, and we can schedule a portfolio across several sites from a single contact.
For a property manager with several buildings, scheduling runs through one person. We confirm each date in writing, our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival, and we time the work around tenant hours where that is asked for. A blockage is the usual reason water runs over the edge and into the fascia, so that is the first thing the crew clears, and with about 42.7 inches of precipitation a year in Georgetown Township, water damage from a blocked system is a real risk. Leaves and landscape debris from the trees along the building line are bagged and hauled off site with the rest. Lead time depends on the season and the number of buildings, so we give the date when we quote the job.
Our crew handles professional gutter cleaning services at the commercial level, and the same crew runs residential gutter jobs on the same terms. Whatever your gutter cleaning needs, the same crew and the same photo report come with each job, and we offer gutter cleaning and maintenance on a schedule set building by building. We serve homeowners and businesses alike, and a clean system helps protect your home or building from water. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of your roofline, and we will book a date and put the quote in writing.
As a gutter company we quote per building, and the figure depends on linear footage, height and gutter type. We will tell you what your buildings need in writing before anyone is dispatched.
The lease decides, not state law. Read the section above on who pays by lease type. This is not legal advice, so check the maintenance clause of your lease or ask the attorney who drafted it.
On the properties we service, restaurants and flat roofs with internal drains go on a quarterly schedule. Between visits we check the drains and scuppers as part of gutter maintenance, so a blocked drain gets caught early.
Yes. Above three stories we work from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection in place. Send us the stories and roof type and we will confirm the setup for your building.
Yes. The gutter cleaning process is the same at every site: tell us the hours and access rules, we schedule the crew around them, and the 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, because a blocked one can cause roof leaks. Anything beyond that, such as a cracked scupper that could start a leak, is photographed and reported in the photo report rather than repaired.
After severe thunderstorms we get calls from managers with a clogged gutter, pulled hangers or debris packed into the downspouts. Send us a photo of the roofline and we will tell you whether a visit is needed.
Yes. We invoice per building and can set up a recurring schedule across commercial and residential properties under one contact. Call (866) 435-6328 or ask for a written estimate to set up your portfolio.
