We quote commercial work per building in Eagan, priced from each building's footprint and height. Fall protection or a boom or scissor lift goes on every job, and you get a photo report of every run when we finish.
Our crew is scheduled to this work, and this is what we do all season, not a side job between re-roofs. Across Minnesota we service office, retail and multifamily properties on a spring and fall calendar, and the managers who book us tend to do it before the first storm.
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 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.
On our jobs, four things move the quote most. Height above three stories means a boom or scissor lift and the fall-protection setup that goes with it. Compacted debris and a blockage on a system nobody has cleaned in years take longer to clear than a run that was done last season. A gutter guard, which is one form of gutter protection, has to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the channel. Oversized box gutters and industrial gutters carry more material per foot, and roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs need to be cleared as their own line. Where a gutter has an overflow, the crew also checks the siding and the fascia below for staining. The number of commercial buildings on one site matters too, because mobilizing once for four buildings costs less per building than four separate visits.
A thorough gutter cleaning includes downspout flushing and debris haul-off, both included per building and not billed as extras. Clean gutters help protect your home or business from water damage, so the cleaning is not the place to cut corners. 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 on file, and thorough cleaning on the plan is the same scope each visit.
On a recent commercial job in Eagan, a three-story office building with a low-slope roof and two internal drains, what set the quote was the lift height and the drain clearing, in the words of our field note: the internal drains had not been opened in years and the scuppers were packed with grit. The full job is described in the case link. For a quote on your property, send the address or a site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings, and who the invoice goes to. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will come back with a written estimate.
| 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 Eagan properties we service, most are on twice a year, spring and late fall, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover on quarterly. Our cleaning services for residential and commercial gutters follow the property's load, not a fixed rule. Across Minnesota, the storm season brings severe storms and straight-line winds, and the managers who call us after a storm usually find the same thing: debris pushed into the channel and downspouts that were already running slow.
What we pull out of a restaurant gutter every second month is grease-laden debris mixed with leaves and grit, and it packs the downspout elbows fast. Grease-laden debris needs more than a rinse, so the cleaning solutions on restaurant outlets are chosen for grease. In the cleaning process we follow on those buildings, the first thing we check is whether the outlet is still discharging, then we clear the run from the far end toward the outlet. Under heavy tree cover and a busy landscape, the same pattern holds, but the load comes back faster, so the visit interval is shorter.
On flat roofs, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently. The first sign is usually a stained ceiling tile, a membrane blister, or a leak at a drain, long after the water started moving the wrong way. That is why the monthly check between cleanings exists: it is a walk around the roof edge and the drain dome, with photos, so the next visit starts from a known condition. That monthly check is part of gutter maintenance, not an extra.
Within this kind of schedule, the frequency question is also a question about the gutter system as a whole: a clean run that still overflows usually points to slope, not a blockage. We say so in the report and leave the decision with you.
| 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 to commercial properties in Eagan and cover the surrounding areas in the service area with the same crews. Where a property manager runs several buildings, we set up one schedule and one contact for all of them, so a board or a regional office is not juggling a separate vendor per site. We offer gutter cleaning and maintenance on that schedule, and the work order lists every building with its linear footage and invoice line.
Our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival, and work can be timed around tenant hours where that is asked for. We provide gutter cleaning on the building's own calendar, not ours. A date is confirmed in writing before the truck is booked. To lock in a date, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the building.
We also take residential gutters for a homeowner. Across the service area we serve homeowners and businesses, and commercial and residential properties are both on the calendar, though the commercial crews are scheduled separately.
We price per building, and the number depends on linear footage, stories and gutter type, with the difference between buildings shown on the same invoice. We do not quote a figure here; the number comes in writing for each property. Ask any gutter cleaning companies you compare with for a per-building figure in writing, and check it against the footage.
The lease decides, not us, and the lease section above shows how each common lease type usually reads. We write the invoice to whichever party the lease names. This is not legal advice, so read the maintenance clause or ask the attorney who drafted it.
For restaurants and flat roofs among our commercial buildings, quarterly cleanings are the schedule that holds. Grease and grit build up in the outlets, and the internal drains back up without warning, which can cause roof leaks. A monthly check between visits catches the early signs.
Yes. Above three stories we work from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection in place, and the lift is matched to the roofline. Some gutter cleaners only work from a ladder, so tell us the height when you send the address and we book the right equipment.
Yes, we can schedule around tenant hours and sign in with the on-site contact on arrival. Tell us your gutter cleaning needs and the access rules when you book, and we will confirm them in the written schedule.
We clear both. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs are cleared of debris and the strainer domes are reseated, and the photo report shows each one before and after. A final inspection closes every job before we leave.
After a severe storm the post-storm call-outs usually turn up debris packed into the channels and downspouts that were already running slow, and a clogged gutter is often the reason. We inspect, clear, and photograph what we find, and we flag any hanger or seam that needs repair without touching it.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice line, and one gutter company contact can cover every property in the portfolio. Send the list of addresses and we will set it up.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
