We quote commercial gutter work in West Bloomfield one building at a time, priced from the footprint and height of each roofline. Our crew is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job squeezed between re-roofs. Fall protection or a boom or scissor lift goes on every job, and you get a photo report of each run after we finish. Spring and fall are the windows most property managers book. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline for a written quote.
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 number on the quote is the number on the invoice. The cleaning process starts with that site plan, and each quote covers one gutter cleaning service visit per building, scoped line by line.
Several things move a quote on our jobs. Height above three stories means a boom or scissor lift and the fall-protection setup it requires. A roof that has not been cleaned in years brings compacted debris that takes longer to clear and haul. A gutter guard or other gutter protection has to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Oversized box or industrial gutters take more time per foot than standard profiles. Flat roofs carry roof drains and scuppers, and each one is cleared as part of the job. A clog at a downspout elbow is cleared on the same visit, not billed separately. The number of buildings on one site also changes the quote, because setup is shared across them. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are never billed as extras. Debris from the surrounding areas gets hauled with the rest, so the quote covers a finished site. Scheduled semi-annual or quarterly service is priced lower than a one-off call, because we know the building and the dates are booked ahead. A thorough cleaning takes longer than a quick clear, and the quote reflects that.
On a West Bloomfield job, one commercial building with a flat roof, internal drains and a long run of box gutter took a full day to clear, because the scuppers were packed with grit and the crew had to open each drain by hand. Send us the address or a site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and the name of the party who receives the invoice, and we will put a written quote back to you. To get the quote moving, call (866) 435-6328 and we will book the site walk.
| 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 West Bloomfield properties we service are on twice a year, spring and late fall, while restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover run on quarterly visits. Across Michigan, spring visits land in late May to June, and the fall visit is booked for late October to November. On the properties we service, the spring visit clears the seed and pollen that packs downspout elbows, and the fall visit clears the wet leaf mat before the first freeze. A blocked run in spring holds meltwater against the fascia, which is why the spring visit comes first. A clean gutter system is one of the simplest ways to protect your home or business from water damage. We run this calendar for residential and commercial properties alike.
After the storms, managers who call us are usually asking about overflow at the low end of a run or a downspout that stopped draining. Storm-season inspections frequently turn up a pulled hanger or a separated seam, which we photograph and report rather than repair. Freeze risk is a factor in our scheduling, since ice that forms in a clogged run can pull it away from the fascia. A leak at a roof seam often starts as a blocked run that backed water up under the edge. Every visit closes with a final inspection and the photo report.
Flat roofs need more attention than they look. Parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently, and the first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists. Cleaning services on these roofs are scheduled around that monitoring, not around a single visit. Our cleaning solutions for flat roofs are built around that monthly check. Between visits, gutter maintenance is a walk-around for debris at the downspouts. Some gutter cleaning companies only come out after a complaint, so we book the calendar first.
| 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 have serviced commercial properties across West Bloomfield, and we handle multi-building portfolios and multi-site accounts through a single scheduling contact. You get one point of contact for every building, a date confirmed in writing, and a crew that checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. Work can be timed around tenant hours when that is what the lease or the site rules call for. The same crew handles commercial buildings of every size, and the single contact keeps the schedule in one place. Our team serves commercial and residential properties on one account. Ask whether the address is inside our service area before you book, so the date is not lost to a travel question. We offer gutter cleaning on a one-off basis or on a fixed calendar.
Our professional gutter cleaning services are built for the scale of a commercial property, from a single two-story building to a campus of several. A residential gutter job and a commercial one use the same crew and the same flush-and-flow-test standard, scaled to the roofline. We also do residential gutter cleaning for a homeowner, which is why we run a crew for homeowners and businesses alike, but the work on this page is for commercial properties. A thorough gutter cleaning follows that same standard, and where a blockage sits in a run, the crew clears it and notes the location in the report.
Landscape around a commercial building affects how much debris reaches the gutters, and a property with a heavy planting bed or a grove of trees along one side will need the crew to plan around that. If a run shows water damage at the fascia or the soffit, we photograph it and note it in the report so the property manager can decide what to do about it. Overflow that runs down the wall can stain the siding, and that gets photographed too. Water that backs up under a clogged run can also cause roof leaks at the edge, so a damp fascia gets flagged first. We provide gutter cleaning on a fixed schedule and on a one-off basis, and we will set up whichever one fits your gutter cleaning needs. For a campus, gutter cleaning and maintenance runs as one contract with one invoice per building.
We price per building, but the quote is built from linear footage, height and gutter type, so the total depends on what each of those comes to. We will not give you a figure over the phone without the stories and footage in front of us. Send a site plan or the address and we will write the number down for each building.
The lease decides, not us, so read the maintenance clause in yours or ask the attorney who drafted it. The lease cases are laid out in the section above. This is not legal advice. Tell us who the invoice goes to and we will address it to that party.
On the restaurants and flat roofs we service, quarterly is the schedule we keep, because grease and grit build up faster and internal drains back up without warning. A blocked run over a service door is a slip hazard and a leak waiting to happen, so that is the first place the crew checks. Flat roofs get a monthly check between cleanings. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will set the dates against your roof type.
Yes. Above three stories we work from a boom or scissor lift, with fall protection set up for the roofline. Commercial buildings over three stories are where the lift decision matters most. Tell us the height when you request the quote so the lift is booked for the right job.
Yes. We schedule around tenant hours and site access rules when the lease or the property manager asks us to, and we check in with the on-site contact on arrival. Our gutter cleaning process runs the same way on every site: check in, clear, photograph, then invoice. Tell us the access window and we will confirm the date in writing.
We clear roof drains and scuppers as part of the job, not as an add-on. Each one is opened and cleared of debris, and the strainer domes are reseated. Anything else we find is photographed and reported to you. Some gutter cleaners only pull the gutters, but the drains are in our scope.
After severe thunderstorms we get calls about overflow, pulled hangers and downspouts that have stopped draining. We inspect the run, photograph the damage and clear what is blocking the flow. Anything structural is reported to you, not repaired by us. Standing water in a clogged gutter can cause roof leaks, so we check the fascia on every storm visit.
Yes. We invoice each building separately with the linear footage shown, so a board or an owner can check it. We are a gutter company that bills each building on its own line, which makes the invoice easy to audit. A recurring schedule can cover several properties under one contact. Ask for a written estimate and we will put the dates on the calendar.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
