We clean commercial gutters and downspouts in Burnsville, quoted per building from its footprint and height. Our crew does the work on a schedule, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job, and sends a photo report when we finish. This is our crew, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. We service office, retail and multifamily properties in Burnsville, and most of them book in 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 this commercial gutter cleaning service per building, from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. Thorough gutter cleaning is what the per-building number buys, and a thorough cleaning runs to the outlet on every line. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will send the written estimate.
Four things move the quote on our jobs. A building above three stories needs a boom or scissor lift and the fall-protection setup that goes with it. Compacted landscape debris and a full clog on a system nobody has cleaned in years take longer to clear than a maintained run. A gutter guard that must be lifted and reseated adds labor, and so does any other gutter protection on the run, plus cleaning overflow off the siding. Oversized or box gutters add time too. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and the number of buildings on one site, round out the list. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building, 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.
On a Burnsville property we will want the address or site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who the invoice goes to. We do not quote a commercial building from a description alone. Once we have those, the number comes back in writing, and the work matches it. Ask any gutter cleaners you compare us with to do the same.
| 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 commercial properties we service in Burnsville are on twice a year, spring and late fall, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover on quarterly. On the Burnsville properties we service, that cadence matches the storm and leaf load we actually see. Each gutter system is judged on its drains and runs, not on the calendar alone. The managers who call us after a storm are usually the ones who skipped the last cleaning.
Restaurant gutters are the clearest case. What we pull out of a restaurant gutter every second month is grease-laced debris that a twice-a-year visit would let set. On flat roofs, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without any warning, and a single blockage at one drain can back up the whole roof. Debris left in a drain can cause roof leaks, not just gutter overflow. The first sign a tenant gets is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, and by then water damage may already be spreading, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists.
The gutter cleaning process itself is the same whatever the cadence: clear, flush, flow-test, photograph. A residential visit and a commercial one follow the same steps, and the commercial one is billed per building. Property types differ in how fast debris builds, not in what the crew does, so the frequency follows the building, whether it is a home or business, rather than the category. We will also talk through cleaning solutions for runs that fill every season, including whether a gutter guard suits them.
| 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 Burnsville, including the business districts and corridors where we have serviced buildings. Burnsville sits inside our service area, and the surrounding areas can be quoted the same way. Our cleaning services are booked per building, so each site has its own date. A portfolio of several buildings gets one contact for every site, one date confirmed in writing, and a crew that checks in with the on-site contact when it arrives. Each building closes with a final inspection before the crew leaves the site. Where a building has tenant hours or access rules, we time the work around them when asked.
We also offer gutter cleaning and maintenance on a schedule for owners who want the same crew on each building. Ongoing gutter maintenance is set up once and runs on its own dates. We provide gutter cleaning for a single building as readily as for a portfolio. Our commercial work covers the gutter cleaning needs of multi-site owners, property managers and facilities leads. We do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners and businesses alike, and our crew handles residential and commercial work on one schedule. A homeowner with a larger building gets the same written quote. If you already have a gutter company on some sites, we can take the rest on the same schedule. We will look at a single small building the same way we look at a portfolio. Tell us what you manage and where, and we will say which of our crews can take it. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the site to book a date.
We price per building and show the linear footage on the invoice, so you can check the run count. What the number depends on is stories, roof type, gutter size and how much debris is in the system. The figure comes in writing per building before the crew is dispatched. If you are weighing gutter cleaning companies against each other, ask every one for the same footage and stories so the numbers line up.
The lease decides it, not state law. The section above sets out how the common lease types read. This is general information, not legal advice, so read the maintenance clause of your lease or ask the attorney who drafted it. Whoever the lease names, we put that party on the invoice.
On our Burnsville jobs, restaurants and flat roofs with internal drains are on quarterly. The grease and debris build faster than a twice-a-year visit can handle, and the drains back up without warning. A backed-up drain is how a leak starts on a flat roof.
Yes. Above three stories we work from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection, and we bring whatever lift the roofline needs. Height is the biggest single factor in the quote, so tell us the stories when you call.
Yes. We will schedule around tenant hours, parking and access rules when you tell us them in advance. Our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival.
Both. On flat roofs we clear roof drains and scuppers of debris and reseat the strainer domes, along with the gutter runs. A clogged gutter on a parapet line gets the same treatment. Anything else we find, such as a cracked scupper, gets photographed and reported.
After severe storms and straight-line winds across Minnesota, the post-storm call-outs most often turn up packed downspouts and gutters pulled loose by debris. Clearing the runs before the wettest months, June, July and August, helps protect your home and the building under it. We photograph every run and tell you what needs attention.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice, and a recurring schedule covers all of them under one contact, with each visit confirmed in writing ahead of time. The same setup works for commercial and residential properties in one portfolio. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will set up the schedule for your portfolio.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
