We quote commercial gutter cleaning per building in Lakeville, priced from the footprint and height of each structure. Fall protection or a boom or scissor lift goes on every job, and you get a photo report of each run when we finish. A clogged gutter gets cleared the same way on every building in the portfolio.
Our crew is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job squeezed between re-roofs. We are a gutter company built around one job: clean gutters on a fixed calendar, spring and fall, so the managers who book us know who will be on the ladder.
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 a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. The gutter system on each building is measured run by run, and the quote is a gutter cleaning service priced for that building, not a rate copied from one job to the next. Ask for the written estimate and we will send it the same day we measure. Each job ends with a final inspection of every run before the crew leaves the site.
What moves the number on our jobs is height. Anything over three stories needs a boom or scissor lift and the fall-protection setup that goes with it. Compacted debris on a system nobody has cleaned in years takes longer than a light seasonal load, and a clog at a downspout elbow adds time to that run. A gutter guard has to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the channel. Where the finish calls for it, we use cleaning solutions that will not stain the siding, and the crew protects the siding wherever a section is lifted off the fascia. Oversized or box gutters carry more volume per run, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs add their own time, and the number of buildings on one site changes how we stage the crew. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and not billed as extras. Scheduled semi-annual or quarterly service is priced lower than a one-off call, because the crew knows the building and the dates are set a season ahead.
On the Lakeville properties we have serviced, the quote is set by the property type, the stories, the roof type and the number of buildings. Whether it is a home or business, the estimate lists the same inputs, and when you compare gutter cleaners, check that the lift and the haul-off are in the number. One supplied case shows how that works in practice, with its link. To quote a Lakeville property we need the address or a site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings, and who the invoice goes to. Send those and we will put the estimate in writing.
| 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 Lakeville 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. Across Minnesota the spring visit lands in mid to late June, and the fall visit runs October to early November in Lakeville. Those are the property types where the cleaning services and the cleaning process wear out fastest, so the schedule follows the building rather than the calendar alone. Our gutter cleaning and maintenance visits are set by the gutter cleaning needs of each building.
What we pull out of a restaurant gutter every second month is grease-laden debris that cannot wait for a seasonal visit. The managers who call us after a storm are usually looking at the same downspouts we flush on every scheduled pass, which is why the cleaning process on a storm call is the same as on a planned one. Across Minnesota, storm season brings severe storms and straight-line winds, and the post-storm inspections turn up the loose hangers and the leaf mat that the wind pushed into the channel. Landscape debris from the beds and trees along the building ends up in the gutter too, and we provide gutter cleaning that clears it before it reaches the downspout. We also offer gutter cleaning on a storm call when a building needs it sooner.
On a flat roof the parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without a sound. The first thing the tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, and a slow leak often shows at the ceiling before anyone thinks to look at the drain. A clog left alone turns into water damage at the fascia and the soffit, and on a flat roof it can cause an overflow over the parapet, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists, and why a blockage on a flat roof is more costly to find than to clear. With freeze risk in Lakeville, a clog that holds meltwater at the eave is the one to clear before the first hard freeze, and the fall visit clears the channel ahead of the snow. Lakeville gets about 32.3 inches of precipitation a year, and June, July and August are the wettest months, so the spring visit lands just as the wet season starts. Where a commercial case is supplied for a standard building on twice a year, a restaurant, or a flat-roof or tree-covered property on quarterly, we name it here with its link.
| 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 run professional gutter cleaning services for residential and commercial properties in Lakeville, and the crew works the same way on each site. Our gutter cleaning process is the same on every building in our service area, which covers the surrounding areas around Lakeville. For a property manager the scheduling is simple: one contact covers every building in the portfolio, the date is confirmed in writing, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. To book, call (866) 435-6328 and we will put the date in writing. Where the tenants need quiet hours or a restricted route through the lot, we time the work around them.
A multi-building portfolio is handled as one account. Each building gets its own invoice with the linear footage shown, so an owner or a board can check it line by line. The crew keeps a photo record of every run and every drain, which becomes the file a facilities lead needs when the question comes up again next season. Between cleanings the portfolio gets the same photo file, and the clean gutters on each building are easy to compare from one season to the next.
We also do residential gutter cleaning for each homeowner across the same service area. A standard commercial building on a clean schedule is the most common job we run, and it is what this page is built around. Gutter maintenance on a long-running system means we keep the notes on the building, so the next visit starts where the last one stopped. Where landscape beds sit against the foundation, we note the runoff path in the photo report. A poorly cleared run is one of the things that can cause roof leaks, and a clear gutter helps protect your home or building from water running down the siding. Every visit is a thorough cleaning of each run, and the photos are how we show you the difference.
Per building, or per linear foot across the building's runs, depending on the site. Either way the number depends on the footprint, the height, the gutter type and whether guards must be lifted. We put it in writing per building before we dispatch, and when you compare gutter cleaning companies, check that the lift and the haul-off are in the number.
The lease decides, and it is set out in the section above. We send each invoice to whoever the lease names. 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 restaurants we service, quarterly. The grease and the internal drains are what drive it, and a monthly check between visits catches a backed-up scupper before it causes a leak or a ceiling stain.
Yes, on buildings across Lakeville and the surrounding areas. We set up a boom or scissor lift and run fall protection on every job above three stories, and the lift is matched to the building.
Yes. Tell us the quiet hours, the loading routes and the access rules, and we schedule the crew around them and check in with the on-site contact on arrival.
Both. Our thorough gutter cleaning covers the gutters and downspouts, and the roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs get the same treatment, each one photographed in the report. Gutter protection such as guards is lifted and reseated, not replaced, and that is noted in the report.
The post-storm call-outs most often turn up loose hangers, leaf mat pushed into the channel and downspouts blocked by debris the wind carried. A clogged gutter after a storm usually means one of those. We photograph what we find and clear it, and we do not repair anything without your authorization.
Yes, for commercial properties and for homeowners and businesses alike. Each building gets its own invoice, and a recurring schedule covers all of them under one contact. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the roofline and we will set the dates.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
