We quote commercial buildings in Reno one at a time, priced from each building's footprint and height. Our crew is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. We put fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job, and you get a photo report after. On our Reno work we see most calls come in ahead of the spring and fall visits, when a property manager wants the gutters cleared before the seasons change. Send us the building type, stories and address, and we will write the number.
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 jobs from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. Each building gets a thorough gutter cleaning priced on its own footage, and the final number for your buildings comes in the written estimate.
Height is the biggest single factor on our jobs. Above three stories the crew works from a boom or scissor lift under fall-protection rules, and that setup changes the cost of the visit. Compacted debris or a blockage on a system not cleaned in years takes longer to clear than a run we visit every six months. Debris blown in from surrounding areas adds to it. Gutter protection that must be lifted and reseated adds time, and so does a gutter guard on a long run. Oversized or box gutters and roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs add time too. A site with several buildings is quoted once, with the footage for each building shown separately.
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 dates are booked ahead, and it is the simplest way to protect your home from water damage.
Every quote we write starts from the same questions: how many stories, what roof type, how many buildings on the site, and who the invoice goes to. Send those for a home or business and we will give you the number. A building with several roof levels or internal drains gets its own line on the estimate, and the drains are checked on every visit. Our Reno work on commercial and residential properties is set the same way: address or site plan, stories, roof type, number of buildings. We do not write a number from a guess, and we do not put a price inside a case.
Once the property is measured, the service is set up for the buildings on the site, and the crew comes back on the agreed dates. A clogged gutter found on the walk-through is photographed and listed on the estimate, and a clog in a downspout gets flushed on the spot. A leak at the fascia, an overflow that comes back after cleaning, or siding stained below a run is reported with photos. That usually points to slope or a fastener problem, which is not something we fix as part of the cleaning. We tell you what we found and you decide the next step.
| 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 Reno properties we service are on twice a year, spring and late fall, while restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees are on quarterly. Those are the properties where the cleaning services get used most, and the schedule is set from what we find on the first visit.
On the Reno properties we service, the spring visit pulls seed and pollen out of the downspout elbows, and the fall visit pulls the wet leaf mat that sits on the run. After a storm the managers who call us are usually asking about debris that came down into the system, and the post-storm check is where we see it. Winter ice shows up as sagging runs on any gutter system that skipped the fall visit, which is why the schedule is set before the freeze, not after it.
On a flat roof the parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without any sound. The first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, and by then the water has been running for a while. That is why the monthly check between cleanings exists on the restaurant and flat-roof sites we service.
The gutter cleaning process on a commercial building is the same whatever the schedule, and every visit is a thorough cleaning: the run is cleared, every downspout is flushed until it runs clear, and the photo report goes to the property manager. A final inspection of each run closes the visit. Property managers and facilities leads use the report to check the work against the invoice, and the crew uses the same report at the next visit to see what changed. For many buildings the same report is what the board asks to see at the annual review.
Gutter cleaning companies and gutter cleaners often quote the same schedule for every building, but the schedule we set depends on the roof, the trees and landscape around the building, and how the building is used, which is why the number of cleanings per year is different for a restaurant than for an office. The schedule is confirmed in writing once the property has been walked, and it can be changed after any visit if the photos show a different need. Cleaning solutions are matched to each roof surface during the walk-through.
| 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 for residential and commercial properties across the Reno service area, and we cover multi-building portfolios from one contact. A property manager with several buildings sends one request and gets one written estimate, with each building priced on its own footage and height. Our professional gutter cleaning services are scheduled on confirmed dates, and the crew checks in with the on-site contact when it arrives. Work can be timed around tenant hours where that is asked for.
The commercial buildings we see most are office, retail and multifamily properties, and we offer gutter cleaning and maintenance on the same schedule for each. Some of our commercial jobs are on properties that also need residential gutter work, such as an apartment building with a detached garage, and we handle the two under one invoice where the owner wants that. We also do residential gutter cleaning for every homeowner who asks, and the same crew handles homeowners and businesses on the same route when the schedules line up.
Our gutter cleaning needs for a portfolio are usually the same from one building to the next, but the access and height are not. A site with a courtyard and no vehicle access needs a different setup than a site with a loading dock. Tell us what the site looks like and we will set the crew to match, with the lift or ladder work confirmed before the visit. Call (866) 435-6328, text a photo of the roofline, or book a date, and the written estimate follows.
We price by the building, and the linear footage, stories and gutter type are what set the number. Nothing is priced from a guess, and the figure is written per building before anyone is dispatched. Send us the building address or a site plan and we will put the number in writing.
The lease decides, not state law. The section above sets out how the triple net, gross and silent-lease cases usually read. We see the invoices we write, and we invoice whichever party the lease names. This is not legal advice, so read the maintenance clause of your lease or ask the attorney who drafted it.
On the restaurant and flat-roof sites we service, quarterly is what keeps the internal drains and scuppers clear. The monthly check between cleanings catches the early signs before a tenant sees a stain. The gutter maintenance schedule is confirmed in writing after the first visit.
Yes. Above three stories the crew works from a boom or scissor lift under fall-protection rules, and the lift is matched to the building. Tell us the height and we will confirm the setup in the estimate.
Yes. Work can be timed around tenant hours, and we check in with the on-site contact when the crew arrives. Tell us the access rules when you request the estimate so the crew can plan the visit.
We clean gutters, downspouts, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the building's cleaning, and we check the drains on every visit. Below-grade drain lines are cleared on request and quoted separately.
After a storm the managers who call us are usually asking about debris that came down into the system, and the crew checks the runs and downspouts on the post-storm visit. What we find is written up with photos. A clogged gutter left after a storm can cause roof leaks. Call (866) 435-6328 to book the check.
Yes. Each building is invoiced separately, and one gutter company contact can set up a recurring schedule for several properties. Text a photo of the roofline or ask for a written estimate, and we will set the dates in writing.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
