We quote commercial gutter cleaning per building in Great Falls, priced from each building's footprint and height. Our crew is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Every job runs with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift, and you get a photo report of every run and downspout after the visit. We work the office, retail and multifamily buildings we service in Great Falls, mostly in spring and late fall.
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 gutter cleaning service quotes each building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. Height is the biggest single factor. Above three stories the job needs a boom or scissor lift and fall protection, and that changes the number. Gutters nobody has opened in years arrive packed with compacted debris, and that adds time on the ladder or the lift. Gutter guard or other gutter protection has to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the channel. Oversized or box gutters take more linear feet per hour. Flat roofs bring roof drains and scuppers into the scope, and a multi-building site adds setup time for each building. A downspout that empties against siding or a foundation gets marked on the site plan, because that is where a clog turns into water damage. Price follows the thorough cleaning each building needs, not a flat rate, and a thorough gutter cleaning on a tall building runs longer than the same job on a single story. The quote also covers the walkways and surrounding areas under the drip line, since that is where the debris lands.
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 knows the building and the footage is already measured. If a building has a clog that is still causing overflow after the cleaning, we photograph it and report it, and we do not sell a second cleaning to fix it. A clogged gutter that keeps overflowing after a cleaning is a repair question, and the report says so in plain words.
For commercial buildings in Great Falls, the quote needs four things from you: the address or site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, and how many buildings sit on the site. Outside city limits? Check our service area when you call, and we will confirm it in writing. Tell us who the invoice goes to and we will put the quote in their name. That is the whole intake, and the number we quote is the number on the invoice.
| 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 Great Falls properties we service, most are on twice a year, spring and late fall, while restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover go quarterly. Across the cleaning services we run here, the schedule follows the building, not a fixed calendar. Every visit runs the same cleaning process, but the interval is set building by building. Across Montana, the spring visit window runs late June to July, after the April to June rain peak. In Great Falls, fall visits run October to early November, which clears the leaf load before freeze-up, and with about 66 inches of snow a year a blocked gutter has little room to drain. We run residential and commercial buildings on the same schedule logic, so a homeowner with a standard roof usually stays on the twice-yearly plan. Choosing among gutter cleaning companies comes down to whether the schedule fits the building, so ask any gutter cleaners you compare whether the lift is included in the number.
On a flat roof the parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without a sound. The first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists. A flat roof gutter system with internal drains is where a backup usually starts, so the drains get the same attention as the gutters. Our crew looks at the drains on every visit, and a restaurant gutter is pulled and flushed every second month because of the grease and food debris that build up. Where grease builds up, the drain gets cleaning solutions as well as water. A building with landscape beds against the wall sheds mulch and leaves into the gutter faster, so it moves up a tier. A building with a gutter guard gets the guard lifted and checked on each visit, because debris can settle on top of it. Every visit ends with a final inspection of each drain and downspout before the crew leaves. Whether it is a home or business, the interval comes from the roof, the trees and the drains. If you are not sure which interval fits, call (866) 435-6328, text a photo of the roofline, or book a date, and we will set the schedule.
| 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 run professional gutter cleaning services on commercial properties around Great Falls and the surrounding areas, and where a city-scope case is on file it sits in the coverage record for that district. A property manager gets one contact for every building in the portfolio, and a date confirmed in writing for each visit. Our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival, and work can be timed around tenant hours when asked. Tell us your gutter cleaning needs and the access rules when you book.
We also provide gutter cleaning on residential gutter systems for homeowners, and clean gutters are how you protect your home from water damage. Our crew serves homeowners and businesses on one schedule, so a mixed portfolio runs under a single contact. We handle gutter cleaning and maintenance on a set schedule for multi-building sites, and we offer gutter cleaning on one-off calls when a storm, a backup or a blockage needs attention. Call (866) 435-6328, text a photo of the building, or book a date, and we confirm it in writing.
We price per building, and the number comes in writing for each one. The gutter cleaning process starts with that quote, and the figure depends on linear footage, stories, gutter type and whether the building has roof drains or scuppers on a flat roof. We send the quote before anyone is dispatched.
Yes. A clogged gutter that overflows can cause roof leaks, because water backs up under the edge of the roof covering and runs inside the wall. A slow leak often shows first as water staining on the soffit or a ceiling stain near an exterior wall.
On the restaurants and flat-roof buildings we service, quarterly is the rule. Grease and debris build up faster there, and parapets and internal drains back up without warning. A gutter maintenance check between cleanings catches a problem early.
Yes. Above three stories we work from a boom or scissor lift on commercial buildings with fall protection tied off, and the lift is matched to the building. Height is confirmed per building when we quote.
Yes. We time the work around tenant hours when asked and check in with the on-site contact when we arrive. Tell us the access rules when you book so the crew arrives ready.
Both. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs are cleared of debris, and the strainer domes are reseated. Gutters on the same building are cleared on that visit too, so the whole roof drains together.
Across Montana, storm season brings thunderstorms with hail, and the worst of it sits around Billings and the east. We handle commercial and residential properties after a storm the same way: post-storm inspections turn up pulled hangers and blocked downspouts, and each one gets a photo in the report.
Yes. We invoice each building separately with the linear footage shown, so an owner or a board can check it. Before you hire any gutter company, ask for that breakdown in writing. A recurring schedule is set up building by building with one contact for the whole portfolio.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
