We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building, priced from the footprint and height of each roof. Our crew is scheduled and employed, not a roofer working between re-roofs. Every job is done tied off or from a boom or scissor lift, with a photo report afterward. We work on office, retail and multifamily properties across Michigan, booking in the spring and late fall.
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 per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement before anyone is dispatched. Height above three stories is the biggest single factor, because it decides the boom or scissor lift and the fall-protection setup the job needs. A clogged gutter that has not been cleaned in years takes longer to clear, because the compacted debris is packed in tight. Where a gutter guard is fitted, the guard has to be lifted and reseated, and that gutter protection adds time to every run. Oversized or box gutters take more time per run, and roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs are cleared as part of the job. The number of commercial buildings on one site also changes the quote, since setup is shared across them.
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 knows the property and the footage is already measured. Our gutter cleaning service covers the clog and overflow problems that build up over a season, and a thorough gutter cleaning keeps water damage off the fascia and the siding. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a site plan, and we will write the quote for your buildings.
Before we can quote a Novi 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. Those five details are what we price from.
| 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 Novi properties we service are on twice a year, with the fall visit in late October to November, while restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover go on quarterly. Across Michigan, the spring visit runs late May to June. Our cleaning services follow a set gutter cleaning process: a walk of the roofline, the runs cleared, every downspout flushed and the outlets checked. The schedule you pick sets how much debris comes down each visit, and a thorough cleaning at each one keeps the cycle short.
After the severe thunderstorms that hit across Michigan, the runs we open usually hold leaf mats, landscape debris and grit, and post-storm inspections often turn up a pulled hanger or a separated seam. On a restaurant gutter we clear fryer grease residue and food debris with degreasing cleaning solutions, which is why those accounts stay on a shorter cycle.
Flat roofs back up quietly, and a blocked drain can cause roof leaks long before anyone sees water. Parapets, internal drains and scuppers fill without any sign at the edge, and the first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, often after a leak has already started. That is why we check internal drains on every visit to a flat roof. On a gutter system that is cleaned on schedule, the gutter cleaners on our crew spot these problems early. If you run a home or business with several sites, our gutter company can set one schedule across them. Text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you which interval your building needs.
| 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 and residential properties across Novi and the surrounding areas. Novi is inside our service area. For a property manager with several buildings, the process runs through one contact: one scheduling conversation, one date confirmed in writing, and one invoice per building with the linear footage shown. Our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival, and we can provide gutter cleaning outside tenant hours when asked.
Routine gutter maintenance is what keeps a clog from forming, so we offer gutter cleaning and maintenance for buildings of all sizes, and we handle the gutter cleaning needs of a portfolio the same way we handle a single site. Our residential gutter work covers both homeowners and businesses, and we also do residential gutter cleaning for each homeowner on the route. The blockage that builds up in a run is the same problem whether the building is a clinic or a house, so we run residential and commercial work on one route and to the same standard. Call (866) 435-6328 to book a date for your buildings, and we will confirm the schedule in writing.
We quote per building, and the number depends on the linear footage, the stories and the gutter type, with the figure coming to you in writing before anyone is dispatched. When you compare gutter cleaning companies, ask for the price per building in writing, because setup, lift time and debris load all change the job. The written quote shows each building separately.
Usually the lease does. The maintenance clause is the part to read, and if the wording is unclear, ask the attorney who drafted it, because we cannot interpret it for you.
On the restaurants and flat-roof buildings we service, quarterly is the schedule that holds, because grease and debris build up faster and internal drains back up without warning. We check the internal drains on flat roofs at every visit. Text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you which interval fits your building.
Yes. Above three stories we work from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection in place, and we bring the lift the roofline needs. Height is the main reason these quotes run higher, so send the stories and roof type with your request.
Yes. We can schedule the work around tenant hours and follow the site's access rules, including check-in with the on-site contact on arrival. Tell us the hours and access requirements when you book, and we will confirm them in writing with the date.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the job, along with the gutters and downspouts. Anything else we find, such as a cracked scupper or standing water, goes into the photo report rather than being repaired without your authorization.
After severe storms the post-storm call-outs usually turn up leaf mats in the runs, grit packed into downspouts and the occasional pulled hanger. Clearing those keeps water moving and helps protect your home or business. We photograph what we find and send the report with the invoice, so you have a record of the damage and what was cleared.
Yes. For commercial properties with several buildings, we invoice each building separately, and each one gets a final inspection before its invoice goes out, with the linear footage shown. We can set one recurring schedule across several properties under one contact. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a site plan, and we will set up the schedule in writing.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
