We quote commercial gutter cleaning per building, priced from each building's footprint and height. Our crew does the work, not a roofer between re-roofs, and every job runs with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift, followed by a photo report of each run. Across Michigan our crews keep scheduled spring and fall visits for office, retail and multifamily properties, and we bring the same setup to every St. Clair Shores site.
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 commercial gutter cleaning per building, from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or satellite measurement before anyone is dispatched. What moves the number on our jobs is height above three stories and the boom or scissor lift it takes to reach the run, compacted debris and any blockage in a gutter system nobody has cleaned in years, oversized or box gutters, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and a gutter guard (a common form of gutter protection) that has to be lifted before we can reach the trough. Count the buildings on one site too, because each one is quoted on its own footprint.
Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are never billed as extras, and every run gets a thorough cleaning. 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 measured.
On the St. Clair Shores properties we service, the commercial gutter cleaning service starts with a thorough gutter cleaning, quoted from what we find at the first walk-around. When a building has a clog that backs water into the fascia or siding, we note it on the report and show the photo, so you see the same thing we see. To quote a St. Clair Shores property we need the address or site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings, and who the invoice goes to. Every quote is priced for one building at a time.
| 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 St. Clair Shores properties we service, most are on twice a year, in spring and late fall, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover or heavy landscape plantings on quarterly visits. Storm season across Michigan is when the post-storm inspections turn up the most debris, and the managers who call us after a storm are usually the ones whose schedule fell behind.
On a flat roof the parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up and overflow without a sound. The first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile, a membrane blister or a leak, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists. A clogged drain left alone can cause roof leaks and water damage, so we walk the roof, clear the drain strainers and note anything that is holding water.
Our cleaning services are scheduled, so the same crew returns to the same property on the same calendar. The gutter cleaning process stays the same from visit to visit: clear the runs, flush each downspout, photograph every section, and send the report before the truck leaves. A property already on a gutter cleaning schedule gets a final inspection on each visit, and the work is logged so the owner can see the history. That matters whether a building is a home or business. A homeowner and a property manager both need the record, and so does every commercial property on the cycle. Owners comparing gutter cleaning companies and gutter cleaners always come back to the same question: does the crew come back on the calendar, and is there a record of it? We keep both, and that is what separates a dependable gutter company from one that shows up when it feels like it.
| 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 crews provide professional gutter cleaning services for commercial properties across St. Clair Shores and the surrounding areas, and we offer gutter cleaning on a per-building basis so a multi-site portfolio is quoted one building at a time. Our service area is St. Clair Shores and the towns around it, and scheduling runs through one contact for every building on the list, with a date confirmed in writing. For multi-building owners, our cleaning solutions cover the whole portfolio on one calendar. On arrival our crew checks in with the on-site contact, and where tenant hours matter we time the work around them. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the roofline and we will book a date.
We also provide gutter cleaning for residential gutter work, for homeowners and businesses that want the same crew on a home. Keeping a home's gutters clear is the simplest way to protect your home from water damage. For a portfolio of commercial and residential properties, the gutter cleaning and maintenance schedule is set up once and billed per building. Tell us the gutter cleaning needs for each site and we will return a written plan.
We quote per building, and the price depends on the linear footage, the height and the gutter type. We put the number in writing for each building before anyone is dispatched.
Your lease decides, not us. The section above lays out who pays by lease type. This is not legal advice, so read the maintenance clause of your lease or ask the attorney who drafted it.
On the flat roofs and restaurant properties we service, quarterly gutter maintenance is the schedule that keeps internal drains clear and stops the silent backup before a tenant sees a stain.
Yes. We work from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection on every job, and the lift is matched to the building's height.
Yes. Tell us the hours and the access rules and we schedule the crew around them, and the on-site contact is checked in with on arrival.
Both. Roof drains and scuppers are cleared of debris and the strainer domes reseated, and each one is photographed in the report.
Storm call-outs usually turn up leaves and grit packed into a clogged gutter that wind has pushed in. We photograph it and report it, and we clear it on the same visit when the lift and access allow.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice with the linear footage shown, and a recurring schedule can be set up for every property on one contact. Call (866) 435-6328 or ask for a written estimate and we will book a date.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
