We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building, priced from its footprint and height. Fall protection or a boom or scissor lift goes on every job, and you get a photo report of every run afterward.
Our crew does this work on its own schedule, not as a side job between roofing projects. Each building gets the same people and the same checklist, so the work on one property matches the next.
We work on office, retail and multifamily buildings, and property managers book us in spring and late fall, ahead of the leaf and storm season.
Quoted per building from footage, height and gutter type, in writing, before anyone is dispatched. Scheduled service costs less than a call-out.
Our gutter cleaning service quotes each building from its linear footage, its height and the type of gutter, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched.
Four things move a quote on our jobs. Height above three stories means a boom or scissor lift and more time on the roofline. A clog built up over years in a system nobody has cleaned takes longer to clear than a seasonal load. Gutter protection, such as a gutter guard, has to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Oversized box gutters, and roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, add their own labor. A building cluster on one site is quoted as a single visit with one setup.
Downspout flushing and haul-off of debris from the surrounding areas are included per building and are never 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 measured, so a thorough gutter cleaning needs less setup.
On a Passaic property we recently quoted, the building was a three-story office with a flat roof and internal drains, and the gutters had not been opened in about two years. The quote turned on the lift and the drain clearing, and what we found is in that job's record. To quote your Passaic building we need the address or a site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who receives the invoice.
| Per building | |
|---|---|
| Standard, one to two stories | from $150 |
| Oversized box or industrial gutters | from $340 |
| Three stories and up, with a lift | from $455 |
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 commercial buildings we service in Passaic are on twice a year, in spring and late fall, while restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover run on a quarterly schedule.
We see the leaf load build through the fall and the pollen and seed load in late spring, and every gutter system we service feels it. Passaic gets 46.3 inches of precipitation a year, heaviest in June, July and August, so a clogged gutter will overflow at the first heavy storm. After a storm, the post-storm inspections turn up loosened hangers, sagging runs and downspouts blocked at the elbow, and those are the visits that bring a property manager to us on short notice.
On flat roofs, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without any warning. The first sign a tenant gets is usually a stained ceiling tile, a leak above a window or a blistered membrane. Water that spills over the gutter edge also runs down the siding and stains it, which is why we run a monthly check between cleanings on those buildings, and that check is one way to protect your home or building from water damage.
Our cleaning services on commercial jobs follow the same process as our residential gutter cleaning jobs, with cleaning solutions matched to the roof type. The gutter cleaning process starts with a walk of the roofline and ends with a thorough cleaning, a final inspection and a photo set. We run this across commercial and residential properties alike, so the crew knows the steps whether it is a home or business. Call (866) 435-6328 to book a date, or text a photo of the roofline and we will schedule it.
| 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.
Passaic sits inside our service area for commercial properties, and we serve the business districts and corridors where we have already cleaned buildings. Ask us which stretch your property sits on when you call, or whether it falls in the surrounding areas.
For a property manager with several buildings you get one contact for all of them, and a homeowner with one house gets the same confirmed date. The date is confirmed in writing, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact when they arrive. Where tenants need quiet hours, we time the work around them.
We also provide gutter cleaning for homeowners and businesses, and our professional gutter cleaning services on residential jobs come with the same photo report as every commercial job. Our landscape crews keep the drainage paths clear so water does not return to the building, which is the usual cause of water damage after a clean.
Our service covers the blockage cases that come up after storms and the ordinary seasonal load alike, and we offer gutter cleaning and maintenance on a schedule for properties that need it. Gutter maintenance is quoted the same way as a cleaning, in writing, per building. If your building has gutter cleaning needs beyond a single visit, tell us the count of buildings and the roof types. Call (866) 435-6328 to set it up, or text a photo of the roofline and we will book the date.
We price per building, and the number depends on the linear footage, the height and the gutter type. The quote comes in writing for each building before we schedule the work, so you can compare it side by side with bids from other gutter cleaners and gutter cleaning companies.
The lease decides this, not us. Read the maintenance clause in your lease or ask the attorney who drafted it, because this is not legal advice and the section above on who pays shows how each lease type usually reads.
On the restaurant and flat-roof buildings we service in Passaic, we run quarterly gutter maintenance visits, because grease and debris build faster and internal drains back up quietly between cleanings.
Yes. We set up a boom or scissor lift and use fall protection for the work, and we bring the lift the roofline requires.
Yes. We schedule around tenant hours and follow the access rules for the building, and we confirm the window in writing before the crew arrives.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as well as the gutters and downspouts, and each one is photographed in the report, so you can see exactly what our gutter company cleared on each roof.
After a severe storm the post-storm calls we get often turn up loosened hangers, sagging runs and downspouts blocked at the elbow, and we inspect and clear them and report what we find, since a blocked run can cause roof leaks.
Yes. We invoice each building separately and set up a recurring schedule for several properties under one contact, with each visit confirmed in writing before the crew is sent out. Call (866) 435-6328 to set up the schedule, or text a photo of the roofline and we will book a date.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
