We quote commercial gutter work per building in Livonia, priced from each building's footprint and height. Fall protection or a boom or scissor lift is on every job, and you get a photo report of every run when we finish. Our crew is scheduled and on the ladder ourselves, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. We service office, retail and multifamily properties in Livonia, and most of them book in spring and late fall, when the seed and leaf loads peak.
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 building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. The quote is a number you can check against the building, not a guess made on the phone. Many gutter cleaners and gutter cleaning companies quote a flat visit fee, but a per-building quote shows what each line covers. We price residential and commercial jobs on the same footprint method.
Height moves the number more than anything else on the sheet, because a building past three stories needs a lift, and the lift and its setup are priced into that building. Compacted debris on a system not cleaned in years takes longer to clear, and a gutter guard that has to be lifted and reseated adds time. Oversized box gutters and industrial gutters cost more to run than standard ones, and roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs are cleaned as part of the building. Each extra building on one site is quoted on its own footprint, so a cluster of buildings is never billed as one lump. A homeowner with a single house gets the same written method as a property manager with a campus.
Downspout flushing and debris haul-off come with every building's quote, not as add-ons. A building on a standing schedule usually costs less per visit than a one-off call, because the crew already knows the building and the footage is measured. Our cleaning services cover the full gutter system, and the cleaning process is the same on every building: clear, flush, flow-test, haul, photograph. Flushing with plain water does most of the work, so cleaning solutions are rarely billed on a quote. Every building ends with a final inspection before the crew leaves, and the photos go into the report.
To quote a Livonia property we need the address or site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who the invoice goes to. Send those details, call (866) 435-6328, or text a photo of the roofline, and we will start the 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.
On the Livonia properties we service, most 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, the storm season brings severe thunderstorms, and the post-storm calls we take turn up leaf mats and landscape debris packed behind the downspout elbows. Spring visits across Michigan usually land in late May to June, after the seed and pollen drop finishes. Fall visits in Livonia usually land in late October to November, after the last leaves come down.
Livonia averages 35.1 inches of precipitation a year, and it is wettest in May, June and September, so a gutter that holds debris can overflow fast. Livonia gets 30.8 inches of snow in a typical year, mostly in January, February, March and December, and freeze risk is real here. A blockage that sits through a winter is how water damage starts. What we pull out of a restaurant gutter at each visit is grease-laden debris mixed with grit, which packs faster than leaves on a standard office building. Flat roofs look fine from the parking lot until water backs up behind the parapet, and a clog in an internal drain is how that happens.
Internal drains and scuppers block silently, and the first thing the tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister. That is why the monthly check between cleanings exists on those roofs.
For a schedule that fits the building, we set the frequency on the first visit and adjust it from what we find. A gutter that is clean in November but holds water in March is telling us something about the slope, and we write that into the report rather than sell another cleaning. Homeowners and businesses get the same rule, and the same method runs on residential gutter jobs. We provide gutter cleaning on a set schedule, and we also offer gutter cleaning as a one-off call when a storm hits. Our professional gutter cleaning services follow the building, not a calendar, so gutter cleaning and maintenance are planned rather than reactive. To match a frequency to your gutter cleaning needs, call (866) 435-6328, text a photo of the gutter line, or book a date.
| 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.
Our service area is Livonia, and the crew works across its business districts and corridors, including commercial properties along the main roads. For a property manager with several buildings, scheduling runs through one contact. You get one date per building, confirmed in writing, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact when they arrive. Work can be timed around tenant hours where that is asked for. Call (866) 435-6328 to book a date for each building.
A clogged gutter on commercial buildings often shows up first as a leak at the fascia or a stain on the wall below, and the leak usually traces back to a gutter that overflowed. Clogged gutters can cause roof leaks when water backs up under the edge of the roofing, so we clean the gutter, flush the downspout and report what we see. Our gutter cleaning process is the same for a single office and for a multi-building campus.
We also do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners in the area, and we handle commercial and residential properties under one company, so a manager with a mixed portfolio deals with one gutter company. Keeping clean gutters on the schedule that fits each building lowers the odds of roof leaks, and the gutter maintenance stays the same whether the building is an office or a strip mall. Text a photo of the roofline and we will reply with a quote.
We quote per building, and the number depends on linear footage, height and gutter type. Each building gets its own written quote for a thorough gutter cleaning, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, so you can check the figure against the property before you approve it.
Not to quote the cleaning itself, but we do need to know who the invoice goes to. Tell us which party the lease names, or send the maintenance clause, and we bill that party directly so no one is chasing a payment. What the clause means is a question for the attorney who drafted the lease.
On commercial properties with flat roofs, quarterly visits keep internal drains and scuppers clear. The debris is grease and grit that packs faster than leaves, and a clog in an internal drain can cause overflow that stains a ceiling before anyone sees it. A monthly check between visits catches it early.
Yes. We bring the lift the roofline needs, and the crew is tied off or on the lift before any gutter is touched. Give us the height when you request the quote so the right lift is booked.
The crew checks any gutter protection already on the building, and a lifted or fouled guard gets photographed and described in the report.
We clean roof drains and scuppers as part of the building, along with the gutters and downspouts, and a cracked drain or loose scupper gets photographed and described in the report.
Severe thunderstorms across Michigan are the usual trigger, and after one we get calls about gutters that have pulled away or downspouts that have backed up from debris. A clog that holds water makes the gutter overflow, and the water runs down onto the siding below. We run the same post-storm check in Livonia and the surrounding areas: clear the debris, photograph anything that needs attention, and regular cleaning helps protect your home or business from that kind of damage.
Yes. Each building is invoiced separately, and a recurring schedule can cover several properties under one contact in our service area. You get one date per building confirmed in writing, and the schedule carries the same crew and the same photo report for every visit. To set it up, call (866) 435-6328, text a photo of the buildings, or book a date.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
