We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building in Plymouth, priced from the footprint and height of each building, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job and a photo report when we finish. Our crew is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. We work spring and fall, and across Minnesota we service office, retail and multifamily properties that book us after storm season.
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 building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement before anyone is dispatched. What moves the number on commercial properties is height above three stories and the boom or scissor lift it requires under fall-protection rules, compacted debris on a system nobody has cleaned in years, gutter guards that have to be lifted before the runs can be cleared, oversized or box gutters, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and the number of buildings on one site.
Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are 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 on file. Our thorough gutter cleaning service starts with a walk of the roofline, and when a building shows a clogged gutter that will overflow again soon after we leave, or a leak already staining the wall below, we say so in the report.
To quote a Plymouth property we need the address or site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings, and who the invoice goes to. Send those and we will return a written quote per building. A property that has had thorough cleaning on its gutters for a full season will usually show less compacted material on the next visit, which keeps the quote steady. Our crew handles the surrounding areas of each site the same way, so the parking lot and walkways under the work get swept as part of the job, and any siding below an overflowing downspout is checked and noted.
We do not install gutter protection products or roof cleaning solutions, so call (866) 435-6328 to talk through what a building needs before you decide.
| 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 Plymouth properties we service are on twice a year, spring and late fall, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees on quarterly. Across Minnesota the storm season is severe storms and straight-line winds, and the managers who call us after a storm are usually asking us to check the downspouts for debris that came off the roof.
Our gutter cleaning process is the same on every building: clear, flush, then inspect. Once a cleaning is done we also run a final inspection so the report shows what was cleared and what was still standing water. A homeowner with a single house follows the same logic, and clearing the gutters is how you protect your home from water sitting at the foundation, but commercial buildings collect more debris per run, which is why the schedule shifts for them.
What we pull out of a restaurant gutter every second month is grease-laden leaf and seed paste, and it packs the downspout elbows into a clog fast. On a flat roof the parapets and internal drains back up without a sound, and the first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister. That is why the monthly check between cleanings is part of our gutter maintenance, and why we report any blockage we find between visits.
We also do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners in the area, and our crew knows how the gutter system on a house differs from one on a multi-tenant building. For a property manager the schedule is the thing to settle first. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the roofline and we will set the frequency for the 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.
Our professional crew works across Plymouth's commercial corridors, and we handle multi-building portfolios and multi-site accounts the same way: one contact, one scheduled date confirmed in writing, and one invoice per building. Our crew checks in with the on-site contact when we arrive and times the work around tenant hours where asked.
We provide gutter cleaning for homeowners and businesses, residential and commercial properties alike, in the Plymouth service area. For a larger portfolio we offer gutter cleaning and maintenance on a shared calendar, so a property manager sees every building on one schedule. Where a site has a water damage history we note it in the report rather than guessing at the cause.
Because our crew covers every home or business in the service area, the gutter cleaning needs of a commercial site are scheduled around its occupancy, not around the weather alone. For a property with a landscape crew on site we coordinate arrival so the two do not block each other. Our professional gutter cleaning services for a building are sized to the building, not to a flat rate. Call (866) 435-6328 to set up a walk-through and a written schedule.
We price per building, and linear footage is one of the inputs. Height, gutter type and the number of downspouts also go into the figure, and the number comes to you in writing for each building before we are dispatched, so you can check it against what other gutter cleaners quote for the same scope.
The lease decides, not us. Read the maintenance clause in your lease, and see the section above for how the three common lease types usually read. This is general information and not legal advice, so ask the attorney who drafted your lease if it is unclear. When we write the invoice we address it to the party the lease names.
On the restaurants and flat-roof buildings we service in Plymouth, quarterly is the schedule that holds. Grease and seed paste pack the elbows fast, and internal drains back up without warning, so the monthly check between cleanings is part of the plan.
Yes. Above three stories we work from a boom or scissor lift set up under fall-protection rules, and we bring whatever lift the roofline needs. Tell us the height when you request a quote so the right equipment is booked.
Yes. Tell us the hours and the access rules and our crew works within them, and ask the same question of any gutter cleaning companies you are comparing. We check in with the on-site contact when we arrive and sign in wherever a building requires it.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the scope and flush the downspouts that run off them, because a blocked drain is what backs water up and can cause roof leaks.
After a severe storm the call-outs we take usually turn up debris pushed into the downspouts and runs pulled loose from their hangers. We inspect the runs, clear what is blocking flow, and photograph anything that needs attention.
Yes. You deal with one gutter company for every commercial and residential property on the schedule, we invoice each building separately, and we can put several properties on one recurring schedule. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will set it up in writing.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
