We quote St. Louis commercial gutters per building, priced from footprint and height, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job and a photo report after. The crew that quotes the job is the crew that climbs it, scheduled on our own calendar and not squeezed in between re-roofs. We work on office, retail and multifamily properties across St. Louis, and most of our book runs through the spring and fall windows.
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 commercial building on its own, from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will put the number on paper.
Height is the first thing that moves the number. Above three stories the crew works from a boom or scissor lift, set up under fall-protection rules, and that setup costs more time than a ladder job. A roof with compacted debris in the gutters, on a system nobody has cleaned in years, takes longer to clear and flush, and a blockage that has sat that long is what sends water over the edge and into the siding. A gutter guard or other gutter protection that has to be lifted and reseated, oversized or box gutters, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and the number of buildings on one site all show up on the quote.
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 already measured.
On our St. Louis commercial jobs, the quote for a multi-building office site came in higher than the owner expected until we showed the lift time for the three-story sections and the number of roof drains on the flat portions. Once the footage and access were itemized per building, the owner could see where each dollar went and approved the schedule. That is the kind of breakdown we send with every quote, so a property manager can take it to a board without guessing. Tell us the address or send a site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings, and who the invoice goes to, and we will write the price per building.
Every quote covers the gutter cleaning service itself: clearing the runs, flushing each downspout so a clog does not hide behind a clean-looking run, and checking outlets for overflow. A thorough cleaning keeps water off the fascia and out of the roof edge. A thorough gutter cleaning like that helps protect your home or business from water damage.
| 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 St. Louis properties we service, most are on twice a year, spring and late fall, and the restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees go on quarterly. We keep our cleaning services on that calendar because it matches what we pull out of these buildings, and a fixed schedule is the easiest gutter maintenance to budget.
Our gutter cleaning process starts with the same check every visit: the runs, the downspouts, the outlets and the drains, photographed before we touch them. That is the final inspection the manager gets in writing, and it tells us whether the schedule should tighten. A gutter system on a building under heavy trees fills faster than one in an open lot, and the managers who call us after a storm usually find the drains packed with the same debris we cleared the season before.
On a flat roof the parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without a sound. A backed-up drain can cause roof leaks, and the first sign a tenant usually sees is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, by which point the leak has been running for a while. That is why the monthly check between cleanings exists, and it is one of the cleaning solutions we add when a roof is flat and drains internally.
We also run the same schedule on home or business properties where the two share a lot, and unlike some gutter cleaning companies and gutter cleaners, our crews check first, clean second, and photograph everything.
| 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 cover residential and commercial properties across St. Louis with professional gutter cleaning services, and a multi-building site gets one contact for every building in the portfolio, with a date confirmed in writing. Our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival and times the work around tenant hours where that is asked for. Lead time is confirmed on the quote rather than promised here. If a building sits in surrounding areas outside city limits, ask when you call and we will confirm whether it falls inside our service area.
Professional gutter cleaning and maintenance for a portfolio is mostly scheduling work, and we handle it as one job. A property manager gets one written schedule covering every building, with the footage, the lift requirements and the landscape around each site noted, so the gutter cleaning needs of every site are covered and nothing gets missed between them. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the building and we will book a date in writing.
We also do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners and businesses in the St. Louis area, the same crew and the same photo report. We offer gutter cleaning on the same terms as the commercial work. For a homeowner who has a clogged gutter that is pulling away from the fascia, the crew handles it the same way it handles a commercial run: clear it, flush it, and report what it finds without selling a repair.
We quote per building. For commercial buildings the price depends on the linear footage, the height, the gutter type and whether there is a lift, and we put the number in writing before anyone is dispatched.
The lease decides, not us. Read the maintenance clause in your lease, or ask the attorney who drafted it. We are not giving legal advice here, and the cases for each lease type are in the section above.
Quarterly. On the restaurant and flat-roof properties we service, the drains and downspouts fill faster, and a monthly check between cleanings catches a backup before the tenant sees a stain.
Yes. We provide gutter cleaning on taller buildings from a boom or scissor lift set up under fall-protection rules, and we bring the lift the roofline needs. Call (866) 435-6328 with the stories and the roof type so we can plan the setup.
Yes. We time the work around tenant hours when asked and check in with the on-site contact on arrival. Tell us the access rules when you book so the crew arrives ready.
Both. The crew clears the roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs along with the gutters, and reports anything it finds in the photo report.
Storm call-outs come in fast, and the post-storm checks usually turn up debris packed into drains and downspouts, which is the first thing we clear. Text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you what needs attention.
Yes. We invoice per building for commercial and residential properties alike, and we set up one recurring schedule covering every property in the portfolio, so the manager gets one contact and one written calendar from a single gutter company.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
