We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building in Minnetonka, priced from footprint and height, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job and a photo report after. Our crew is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. We work through the spring and fall windows for offices, retail and multifamily properties, and we can hold a standing date for a portfolio of buildings.
Quoted per building from footage, height and gutter type, in writing, before anyone is dispatched. Scheduled service costs less than a call-out.
Our commercial cleaning services are quoted per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. Those three inputs decide the number, so a quote from us is never the kind of guess a homeowner gets from the curb.
On our Minnetonka jobs, height is the largest single driver. A building above three stories needs a boom or scissor lift under our fall-protection setup, and that lift changes the crew size and the time on site. Compacted debris also moves the quote: a gutter system that has not been cleaned in years takes longer to clear than one on a seasonal schedule. A gutter guard that has to be lifted and reseated, oversized or box gutters, and roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs all add time. A multi-building site is quoted building by building, so you can see where the cost sits.
Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras. Cleaning solutions are not billed as a separate line. Gutter cleaners and gutter cleaning companies that bill by the hour leave the final number open, and a per-building quote closes that gap. Scheduled semi-annual or quarterly service is priced lower than a one-off call, because the crew already knows the building and the dates are set a season ahead.
On a recent commercial job, the property type, stories, roof type and building count set the quote, and the notes we wrote for the property manager list what we found on the roof. We keep that case on file and can share it on request. To quote a Minnetonka property, we need the address or a site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings, and the name of the party the invoice should go to. We follow the building's cleaning process from the first measurement through final inspection, and each building gets its own invoice line so the number on the quote is the number you pay.
| 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 Minnetonka properties we service, most are on twice a year, spring and late fall, and restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover are on quarterly. The gutter cleaning and maintenance schedule follows what the building does to its gutters, not a generic rule.
Professional gutter cleaning services are most useful right after the season that loads the gutters, so we time visits to the storm and leaf periods the city sees. The managers who call us after a storm usually find the same thing: a downspout that held through the rain but has been slowly collecting grit for months. That kind of water damage starts small and is cheaper to prevent than to fix.
On a flat roof, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without any sound. The first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, which is why the monthly check between cleanings is part of our gutter maintenance. A restaurant gutter fills with grease-laden debris faster than a standard office gutter, and we see that every second month.
Where a property is on the schedule, the crew works from the same notes each visit, so a residential gutter cleaning need on an adjacent building or a landscape change on site shows up in the file before the truck rolls. We provide gutter cleaning on this schedule to property managers and HOA boards who want one contact for every building.
| 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 serve commercial buildings across Minnetonka, from single offices to multi-building sites, and we handle residential and commercial properties under the same scheduling. Whether it is a home or business, the crew asks for the same inputs: footage, height and roof type. A clogged gutter on a retail strip and a leak at a corner unit can both be on one contract, with one invoice per building.
Scheduling with us works the same way for commercial and residential properties, whether you are a property manager or one of the homeowners and businesses we serve: one contact for all buildings, a date confirmed in writing, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. We time work around tenant hours where asked, and we set a standing date for a portfolio so the calendar stays predictable.
We can clean gutters on a building that has been neglected, and we will tell you when a problem goes beyond cleaning. Our gutter cleaning process is built to clear debris that can cause roof leaks if it sits, and each run is photographed so the next visit starts from what we found. Our crew works as a gutter company that stays on the same buildings, which is what keeps the clean gutters on the calendar rather than a one-time event.
Minnetonka is the core of our service area, and we offer gutter cleaning in the surrounding areas for portfolios that span city lines. Whatever your gutter cleaning needs are across the portfolio, call (866) 435-6328 or book a date and we will confirm it in writing. Gutter protection installs are quoted separately, not as part of cleaning.
We price per building, and the number depends on linear footage, height and gutter type. Each building gets its own written quote before we are dispatched, so you see the cost before the work starts.
The lease decides, not us. Read the maintenance clause in your lease, and see the section above for how the common lease types usually read. This is not legal advice, so ask the attorney who drafted the lease if the clause is unclear.
On the restaurants and flat roofs at commercial properties we service, quarterly is what keeps internal drains clear. We see grease and debris build up faster on those roofs than on a standard office gutter.
Yes. We work from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection on every job above the reach of a ladder. The lift is matched to the building, and we quote it in the building's price.
Yes. We schedule around tenant hours where asked and check in with the on-site contact on arrival. Tell us the access rules when you request the quote so the date is set correctly.
A clog or blockage in a roof drain is what makes water back up, so we clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the building's service and photograph each one. Thorough cleaning is the standard on every visit, and thorough gutter cleaning covers the gutter runs too. Anything beyond clearing is reported, not repaired.
After severe storms and straight-line winds across Minnesota, the post-storm calls we take usually turn up debris pushed into downspouts, wind-driven grit against siding, and loose hangers. A gutter packed with debris can overflow in the first heavy rain, so clearing it before the next storm helps protect your home or building. We inspect and photograph what we find and schedule the cleaning from there.
Yes. Each building is invoiced separately, and a recurring schedule keeps all of them on one calendar. Call (866) 435-6328 or ask for a written estimate to set one up.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
