We quote commercial gutter cleaning per building in Kentwood, priced from the footprint and height of each structure, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job and a photo report once we finish. Our crew is ours and scheduled. We are not a roofer's side job squeezed between re-roofs. We work on office, retail and multifamily properties across Michigan, and most of our Kentwood bookings come in before the spring and late 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 a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. Call (866) 435-6328 with the address and we will send the number.
What moves the quote on our jobs is the height above three stories and the boom or scissor lift it requires under fall-protection rules, compacted debris, a clog, and a blockage on a system that has not been cleaned in years, a gutter guard or other gutter protection that must be lifted to reach the channel, oversized or box gutters, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and the number of buildings on one site. 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 and the footage is already measured.
A clogged gutter left alone turns into an overflow at the next storm, and the water that comes over the edge lands on the siding, the landscape and the surrounding areas below, and that is how water damage starts. We price for thorough cleaning across every run, not a surface sweep of the visible sections, since only a thorough gutter cleaning stops that from happening. Our commercial properties are quoted on the same basis, so a multi-building site gets one written quote per building and one invoice per building. Text a photo of the roofline to the number above and we will tell you which factors apply.
Recent work on a three-building office site in Kentwood came in higher than the first estimate because two of the buildings had flat roofs with internal drains that had not been opened in several seasons, and the crew needed a lift on the back run. The estimate was adjusted in writing before work started, and the owner signed off on the revised number.
| 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 Kentwood properties we service, most are on twice a year, spring and late fall, while restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover are on quarterly. On our jobs the spring visit clears seed and pollen from the downspout elbows, and the fall visit clears the wet leaf mat before the first freeze. The storm season across Michigan brings the managers who call us after a severe thunderstorm, and what the post-storm inspections turn up is usually a gutter pulled from its fascia or a downspout that backed up onto the walk.
A restaurant gutter fills with grease-laden debris faster than any other property type we see, which is why the schedule is every second month. Flat roofs with internal drains back up silently. The parapets and scuppers hold water without a sound, and the first sign of a leak is usually a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, which is why we run a monthly check between cleanings as part of our gutter maintenance, and our crew sends photos of each check so the facilities lead can see the drain before it becomes a repair.
Scheduling should follow the property rather than a fixed calendar. Our gutter cleaning process starts with the building type, the number of stories and what the gutter system looks like at the first visit, then sets the interval from there. Some owners request a final inspection after each visit, and we include it in the report. Gutter cleaners on commercial jobs have to plan around tenant hours, and we book the visit to fit the schedule the property manager gives us. For a property manager comparing bids from gutter cleaning companies, the practical point is the report: photos of every run and every drain, noted on the invoice, so the next visit starts where the last one ended.
| 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 professional gutter cleaning services for commercial buildings across Kentwood, including office buildings, retail strips and multifamily sites, and we provide gutter cleaning on the same per-building basis for every one of them. Kentwood is our service area, and we offer gutter cleaning and maintenance, billed per building. Our crew has serviced properties in the business corridors of Kentwood, and the portfolio work we handle most often involves several buildings on one parcel or one owner's list of properties.
A recurring schedule is one of our cleaning solutions for a portfolio, and scheduling works through one contact. A property manager gives us the list of buildings, we confirm each date in writing, and the crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. Work is timed around tenant hours when asked, so the lift is not running over occupied parking during the morning rush. We do not promise same-day or next-day service; the confirmed date is the one that matters.
We serve homeowners and businesses alike. Residential gutter cleaning is a smaller part of our work, and we also do it for a homeowner with one house or a shop owner with one building. For a homeowner, clean gutters are how you protect your home from overflow. Our commercial and residential properties follow the same process, though the quoting is different, and residential and commercial jobs both start from a written quote. Whether it is a home or business, a single call covers the gutter cleaning needs of a multi-site owner, and the report comes back for every building. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline, and we will book a date and confirm it in writing.
We price per building, but the linear footage, height and gutter type are what the number depends on. We measure the building from a site plan or a satellite image and write the quote before anyone is dispatched. Ask for the written quote for each building and it will show the factors we used.
The lease decides, not us. The lease type sets who carries exterior maintenance, so read the maintenance clause or ask the attorney who drafted it. We write the invoice to whichever party the lease names. This is not legal advice.
On the restaurants and flat-roof buildings we service in Kentwood, quarterly is the schedule that holds. Grease and debris build up faster on a restaurant, and flat roofs with internal drains back up without any warning. The monthly check between cleanings catches a drain problem before it reaches a ceiling tile.
Yes. Above three stories we work from a boom or scissor lift, with fall protection in place for the crew on every job. The lift is matched to the roofline, and the height is part of the quote from the start.
Yes. We schedule the crew around the hours the property manager gives us, and we check in with the on-site contact when we arrive. If the building has access rules for contractors, send them with the quote request and we will follow them.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the visit, because a blocked drain can cause roof leaks, and we note their condition and photograph it in the report without repairing the drain.
After a severe thunderstorm across Michigan, the post-storm calls we take usually involve a gutter pulled from the fascia or a downspout that has backed up onto a walkway, and that is where water damage starts. The crew inspects the affected runs and reports what they find. Text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you whether it needs a visit.
Yes. We invoice each building separately, so the cost can be assigned to the right tenant or owner, and we set up a recurring schedule across the portfolio. Call (866) 435-6328 or email us to set up the schedule, and we will confirm the dates in writing.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
