We quote commercial gutter service per building, priced from the footprint and height of each roof, and we put fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job. Our crew does this work full time, not as a side job between re-roofs, and every visit ends with a photo report that shows the clean gutters on each run and downspout. For Nashua properties we book the spring and fall visits most often, with the storm and leaf seasons driving the calendar.
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 quote is the figure we invoice against, and the same written measurement covers a home or business. Scope is set by what is on the roof, not by what the building manager remembers about it. A homeowner gets the same written figure, but a commercial quote adds the stories and the drain count.
Several things move a quote on our jobs. Height above three stories means a boom or scissor lift and a longer setup under fall-protection rules. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years carry compacted debris that takes longer to clear. A gutter guard has to be lifted and reseated before the run can be reached. Oversized box gutters and industrial gutters take more time per foot, and a gutter system with mixed profiles takes longer again. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs add their own step, 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 are not billed as extras. Our cleaning solutions are quoted line by line, so you can see which step is driving the number. When you compare gutter cleaning companies and gutter cleaners, ask each one for the stories, the lift and the drain count in writing. 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 set ahead.
On a recent Nashua job, a three-story office building with a low-slope roof and two internal drains came to us with a run still holding a year of grit and a downspout blocked at the elbow. Its quote came from the stories, the linear footage of each run and the drain count, and the invoice went to the building owner, with photos of every drain before and after. To quote your property we need the address or a site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings on the site and who the invoice goes to. A cleaning services request starts with those five things, and the cleaning process runs from there: site check, dispatch, clearing, flushing, photos and final inspection before we leave the lot. Call (866) 435-6328 with those details and we will send the written quote.
| 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 Nashua properties we service, most are on twice a year, spring and late fall, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees on quarterly. The storm and nor'easter season is the reason the managers who call us after a storm are often on a schedule within a month of their first visit. Most of the gutter cleaning needs we see on these buildings come up in those two windows. Across New Hampshire the freeze and snow months are what show us a sagging run, so the late fall visit is the one we book first.
What we pull out of a restaurant gutter every second month is grease-bound leaf and grit, and what we find on a flat roof is standing debris behind the parapet. Our professional gutter cleaning services on those properties follow the same order every visit: runs cleared, downspouts flushed, drains checked. The same logic holds for homeowners and businesses, but commercial gutter service is planned by the building. Buildings with heavy tree cover or landscape beds under the eaves fill the downspouts between visits, and that blockage is why they stay on the shorter cycle. A blocked run will overflow at its lowest point, usually at a corner or a joint.
On flat roofs, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently. The first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists. Left alone, that standing water turns into water damage inside the building. Maintenance on a flat roof starts with checking the drain on schedule, not after the leak. We do not wait for the stain to tell us the drain is blocked.
| 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 commercial buildings across Nashua and the surrounding areas, including the office and retail corridors where most of our commercial properties sit. Ask us for the specific neighborhood and we will tell you whether it falls inside our service area. For a property manager with several buildings, the arrangement is one contact for every building in the portfolio, one date confirmed in writing for each site, and a crew that checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. We provide gutter cleaning and maintenance for multi-building sites on that one shared schedule. Work can be timed around tenant hours where that is asked for. We do not promise a same-day or next-day slot, because the calendar is set by scheduled clients first.
A clogged gutter on one building can leak onto the wall below it and cause roof leaks in the rooms underneath, so we treat a multi-site portfolio as one gutter cleaning process with a shared checklist. Every building gets its own photo report, its own invoice and its own cleaning dates, so the facilities lead can see the whole gutter maintenance picture in one place. We also offer gutter cleaning on both property types, and residential gutter cleaning for homeowners runs on the same crew. Our gutter company serves commercial and residential properties from one dispatch. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a roofline photo, and we will confirm whether the building sits inside the service area.
We quote per building, and the figure depends on the linear footage of each run, the height and the gutter type. A thorough gutter cleaning on a three-story building takes more crew time, and the quote reflects that. The number comes in writing for each building before we are dispatched, so you know what the invoice will say.
The lease decides, not state law. The lease section above shows how each lease type usually reads, and the lease itself is the document to check. This is not legal advice, so read the maintenance clause or ask the attorney who drafted it.
On the Nashua properties we service, restaurants and flat roofs with internal drains are on quarterly. What we pull out of those gutters and drains is grease-bound grit and standing debris, and it builds faster than on a standard building.
Yes. Above three stories we work from a boom or scissor lift, set up for fall protection, and we bring the lift the roofline needs. Tell us the height when you request the quote so the setup is priced in from the start.
Yes. We will schedule around tenant hours and follow the site access rules you give us. Our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival, so access is settled before any ladder or lift goes up.
We clear the gutters, the downspouts, and the roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs. Gutter protection installs are outside this scope, so if the report points to one, that is a separate quote. Anything we find beyond that is photographed and noted in the report, not repaired without your authorization.
After a storm the post-storm calls turn up debris packed into runs and downspouts that were clear a month earlier, and sometimes a hanger that has pulled loose. A clog that forms in a storm can overflow onto the siding below. We inspect, run a thorough cleaning on what is blocked, and photograph anything that needs a repair decision. Clearing runs before the season is how you protect your home, and on a commercial building it protects the structure the same way. For a commercial site, that report is what the facilities lead needs to plan the next step.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice and a recurring schedule, and one contact covers the whole portfolio. Call (866) 435-6328 to set up the schedule once, and we keep the dates, the photo reports and the invoices in step.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
