We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building in O'Fallon, 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 ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Our O'Fallon work runs on the spring and fall visits, which is when property managers book us most.
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. A single one-off call and a scheduled plan are quoted on the same measurements, and the written number is the number on the invoice. Every gutter cleaning service quote follows that method, and our service area takes in O'Fallon and the surrounding areas.
Height is the largest single driver on our jobs. A building above three stories needs a boom or scissor lift and a fall-protection setup, and the lift time goes into the quote. A flat roof with internal drains and scuppers takes longer than a standard run, because every drain is cleared by hand. A run that has sat in overflow for a season takes more time to clear than one that is only starting to back up. A clog at a downspout elbow adds time too, since it has to be opened before the run can be cleared. Gutters that have not been opened in years arrive packed with compacted debris, which adds time on every section. Oversized box or industrial gutters are quoted line by line, and so is gutter protection that has to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Runs that sit close to siding need more care on the ladder work to avoid marking the finish, and that care is part of the time on the quote. A thorough gutter cleaning opens every run end to end, and that is the work the written quote covers. The number of buildings on one site changes the quote too, since one mobilization can cover several buildings.
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 property and the footage is measured. Our commercial work in O'Fallon often covers a mixed portfolio, and the quote lists each building separately so the board or owner can check it. Keeping the gutters clear is how you protect your home or building from water running behind the fascia, and every quote is for a thorough cleaning of the whole building, not a spot check of the easy runs.
When we write a quote for an O'Fallon property, we need the address or a site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings, and the party the invoice goes to. Send those and you get a written estimate, not a verbal range.
| 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 O'Fallon properties we service are on twice a year, spring and late fall, while restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees go on quarterly. Those are the cleaning services our crew sets up most often, and the schedule follows the property rather than a calendar rule. Accounts for residential and commercial properties follow the same logic, so a home or business on our list gets its interval set by the roof, the trees and the drains. A homeowner with a gutter guard still gets the spring check, because a guard cuts down on leaves but pollen and grit still build up under it.
On the properties we service, the spring visit clears the seeds and pollen that pack the downspout elbows, and the fall visit clears the wet leaf mat before the first freeze. Storm season brings post-storm inspections on several of our accounts, and those visits usually turn up pulled hangers and downspouts knocked loose by wind. A restaurant gutter we pull debris from every second month is a different job from an office gutter, because the grease and the food grit do not wash out with rain. Gutter cleaners on a fixed calendar tend to miss the building that backs up first, and we don't work that way.
Flat roofs are where a missed cleaning shows up last. Parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently, and the first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister. That is why the monthly check between cleanings exists on those properties, and why our crew logs the drain condition on every visit. We track which gutter system runs need the closer schedule so the property manager is not guessing from the ceiling.
Our crew treats the cleaning process as a checklist that ends in a final inspection on every building before we leave the site, and the photos of that inspection go to the property contact the same day. Where a run needs more than a flush, the crew checks with you before using any cleaning solutions on the roof. To set the interval for your building, call (866) 435-6328, text a photo of the roofline, or book a date and we will work it out from there.
| 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 work across O'Fallon for commercial properties, and when a portfolio spans several buildings we run one schedule for the whole site. The property manager gets one contact, one written date and one invoice per building. Our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival and times the work around tenant hours when that is asked for. Lead time depends on the season and the size of the job, so we give you the date in writing when we confirm it rather than promising a fixed turnaround. We offer gutter cleaning as a one-off visit or on a schedule, whichever suits the building.
We also do residential gutter cleaning, and we serve homeowners and businesses in the same area on the same schedule. On business sites we provide gutter cleaning on a recurring plan for managers who carry several properties, and each building keeps its own cleaning history. Professional gutter cleaning services for a multi-tenant building are set up building by building, so the board can see which run was cleared on which date. Our gutter cleaning and maintenance work on commercial sites is documented with photos, and the same record answers the gutter cleaning needs a facilities lead will have a year later.
For blockage that is caused by a building issue rather than debris, we report it and leave the fix to the owner. Water damage from an overflowing run is something we see on the ground, and we photograph it and describe it plainly in the report. Debris from the landscape around a building is often what blocks a run early, and the crew notes it in the report. To get a date on the calendar for your sites, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline, and we will book it.
We price it per building from the linear footage, the height and the gutter type, and you get the number in writing before we dispatch. Pricing per linear foot and pricing per building land in a similar place, but the per-building figure is the one we put on the invoice. Nothing is added after the crew arrives, and the gutter cleaning process is the same on every job.
The lease decides, not state law, so read the maintenance clause in your own lease. We write the invoice to whichever party the lease names, which keeps the property manager out of the middle. This is not legal advice; ask the attorney who drafted the lease if the clause is unclear.
On the restaurants and flat-roof buildings we service in O'Fallon, quarterly is the schedule that holds up, because grease, debris and internal drains back up faster than a standard run. The monthly check between cleanings catches the early signs before a tenant sees a stain, because a drain that backs up can cause roof leaks that show up first on the ceiling.
Yes. Above three stories, commercial buildings get a boom or scissor lift with a fall-protection setup on every job, and the lift time is included in the quote. Tell us the height and the roof type when you request the estimate so we can plan the equipment.
Yes. We time the work around tenant hours and follow the site's access rules, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. Send us the access hours when you request the quote and we will put them on the schedule.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the job, and the strainer domes get reseated when we finish. Any drain we find cracked or separated is photographed and reported rather than repaired, since a leak at a drain is a roofing call.
After a severe storm our post-storm calls turn up pulled hangers, downspouts knocked loose and debris packed into the drains. A clogged gutter after a storm usually has a loose hanger or a pulled downspout behind it. As a gutter company, we inspect every run and photograph what we find, then give the property manager a written list. Storm season brings most of those calls.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice and its own cleaning history, and a recurring schedule covers the whole portfolio under one contact. That schedule is what gutter maintenance looks like on a multi-building site, and the history shows what was found on each visit. We run it the same way for commercial and residential properties. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will set up the schedule and send the written estimate.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
