We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning in Columbia per building, priced from the footprint and height of each one. Every job runs with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift, and you get a photo report of each run when we finish.
Our crew is scheduled and does this work every day, rather than squeezing it in between roof jobs. For property managers, HOA boards and facilities leads, that means one contact across every building on your site. We book the spring and fall visits in advance so your calendar stays fixed. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the roofline and we will send a written quote.
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 service per building, from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement before anyone is dispatched. The number we quote is the number on the invoice. Buildings in surrounding areas outside Columbia are quoted only after we confirm they sit inside our service area.
Height is the biggest single driver on our jobs. Above three stories we bring the boom or scissor lift the roofline needs, and fall protection is set up for every crew member. A thorough gutter cleaning service on a system nobody has cleaned in years takes longer than a routine run, and a clog at the bottom of a downspout makes the gutter overflow and sends water onto siding and the soil at the foundation. Gutter protection that has to be lifted and reseated adds time, and so do oversized or box gutters. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs get cleared as part of the job, and the number of buildings on one site changes how we schedule the crew.
Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building, and a thorough cleaning is never billed as an extra. Scheduled semi-annual or quarterly service on commercial properties is priced lower than a one-off call, because the crew already knows the property and the footage is measured. Keeping clean gutters is one of the cheapest ways to protect your home or business.
Four things set a commercial quote: the number of buildings on one site, the stories on each, the roof type, and the drains that have to be cleared, not just the gutter run. If you send us an address or site plan, the stories, roof type, number of buildings and who the invoice goes to, we can quote your property the same way.
| 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 Columbia properties we service, most are on twice a year, in spring and late fall, while restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees go on quarterly. We keep residential and commercial buildings on the same calendar, and our cleaning services run on that schedule with storm call-outs in between. The managers who call us after a storm, and the homeowner with a tree over the roof, are usually the ones who skipped the last scheduled visit.
After a severe storm we pull debris out of a gutter system that was clear a few months earlier, and on flat roofs we often find internal drains backed up with grit. Across Missouri, the spring visit window runs late May to June, after the wettest stretch from April through June has washed debris into the downspouts. Fall visits run late October to November, ahead of the December to March snow months in a city that gets about 17.4 inches of snow a year. Freeze risk is real in Columbia, so a run still full of wet leaves in November is the one most likely to hold ice.
On flat roofs, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without any warning. The first thing a tenant usually notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, which is why we include a monthly check between cleanings on those buildings. A restaurant gutter we service every second month fills with grease-laden debris that a twice-yearly visit would never keep up with, so the cleaning solutions we use there are chosen for grease, not just leaves. Our cleaning process ends with a final inspection of every drain before the crew leaves. A gutter guard slows the buildup but does not replace a scheduled visit, and when you compare gutter cleaning companies, ask whether they clear the drains too, since many gutter cleaners only look at the runs they can see from the ground.
| 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 gutter cleaning across Columbia for commercial properties, and we handle multi-building portfolios and multi-site accounts as one job. Buildings set into heavy landscape collect more debris, and a blockage left in a downspout is the usual route to water damage at the foundation. For property managers the scheduling is simple: one contact for all buildings, a date confirmed in writing, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival.
If work needs to be timed around tenant hours, tell us when and we will plan the crew around it. Our professional gutter cleaning services are built for commercial buildings where access and noise matter. The same crew handles the gutter cleaning and maintenance schedule for each property, so the record of past visits stays in one place.
We also handle residential gutter cleaning needs for homeowners and businesses who want the same crew on a home, though this page covers commercial work. Tell us the schedule that fits and we will offer gutter cleaning on it. Call (866) 435-6328 to confirm a date in writing.
We quote per building, and the figure depends on linear footage, height, and gutter type. Our gutter cleaning process starts with a site plan or satellite measurement, and the number comes in writing for each building before we are dispatched. Ask for the quote in writing and it will say what it covers.
Your lease decides, not us, so read the maintenance clause in your lease or ask the attorney who drafted it. The section above on who pays covers the usual lease types. This is not legal advice.
On the restaurants and flat-roof buildings we service, quarterly is what keeps internal drains and scuppers clear. A clogged gutter on a flat roof can lead to a leak through the membrane, and those properties show grease and grit buildup faster than a standard building.
Yes. We set up a boom or scissor lift and fall protection for every crew member on taller buildings. Between visits, regular gutter maintenance keeps the lift time short. Give us the stories and roof type and we will confirm the setup in the quote.
Yes. Tell us the hours and access rules and our crew plans the visit around them. We check in with the on-site contact on arrival.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the job, along with the gutters and downspouts. A clogged gutter and a blocked scupper both send water the wrong way, so we clear both. Anything else we find is photographed and reported, not repaired.
After a severe storm we often pull debris out of runs that were clear a few months earlier and find internal drains backed up with grit. Backed-up drains and gutters can cause roof leaks, so we photograph each one and send the report with the invoice.
Yes. We invoice per building and set up one recurring schedule across a portfolio, with the dates confirmed in writing. We are one gutter company for the whole portfolio, with one contact and one invoice per building, and the same setup works for commercial and residential properties. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the roofline and we will set it up.
