We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building, priced from the footprint and height of each one. Fall protection or a boom or scissor lift goes on every job, and you get a photo report after.
Our crew is ours and on a schedule, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. We work spring and fall, and the properties we service in Trenton are offices, retail and multifamily buildings, booked around storm season and leaf drop.
Quoted per building from footage, height and gutter type, in writing, before anyone is dispatched. Scheduled service costs less than a call-out.
Every gutter cleaning service we quote is priced per building, from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, after a site plan or satellite measurement and before anyone is dispatched.
What moves the quote is what we run into on the property. Height above three stories means a boom or scissor lift and the fall-protection setup that comes with it. A system not cleaned in years means compacted debris that takes longer to haul. A gutter guard has to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleaned, oversized or box gutters take more time per run, and roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs get cleared as part of the job. The number of buildings on one site changes how we staff and schedule it.
Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building, not billed as extras. A 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. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a site plan, and we will return a written number.
Where a clog or overflow has already shown up on a commercial roofline, we clear it and photograph the cause. A gutter that still spills after cleaning usually has a slope problem, and we say so in the report rather than selling a second cleaning. A blocked run can cause roof leaks at the eave, and clearing it helps protect your home from water damage running down the siding and into the walls below. A leak at the eave is usually the first sign, so we clear the run before it reaches the ceiling. We flag any gutter protection issue we see without quoting it as a job for us.
To quote a property in the Trenton area, we need the address or site plan, stories, roof type, number of buildings and who the invoice goes to. We cover the surrounding areas and the service area around the city, and we keep the thorough cleaning and thorough gutter cleaning steps identical on every building so the quotes compare cleanly.
| 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 Trenton properties we service are on twice a year, spring and late fall, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees on quarterly. Plenty of gutter cleaning companies only quote a single visit, so the schedule is the part to ask about.
After storms the calls come in, and the post-storm inspections often turn up debris packed into the downspout elbows and sagging runs that need a rehang. Leaves, pollen and landscape debris load the system on a seasonal schedule, which is why the visit timing follows the calendar more than the building's age. A homeowner with a gutter guard still needs a late fall check, since the guard slows debris but fine pollen can still work into the run.
On flat roofs 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, and that is why the monthly check between cleanings exists. The monthly check works the same for residential and commercial roofs with flat sections, so a commercial gutter system gets looked at between visits for that reason.
Restaurant and food-service properties run on quarterly because grease and fine debris build up faster than in a standard office gutter. Gutter cleaners who only book one yearly visit leave this property type exposed, and on a twice-yearly schedule it usually ends up with a clogged gutter by the next visit.
Whether it is a home or business, we keep the cleaning services and cleaning process the same from one visit to the next, so a manager who has us on a schedule knows what the crew will check. The cleaning solutions we use are matched to the debris, and the final inspection is photographed and sent with the invoice. Ready to book? Call (866) 435-6328, text a photo of the roofline, or book a date and we will confirm it in writing.
| 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 commercial properties across the business districts and corridors of Trenton where we have serviced buildings. Most of the commercial buildings we clean here are offices, retail and multifamily properties, and the crew plans each one around its own roofline. For a property manager with several sites, one contact covers every building, and the crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. To start, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the building.
Tell us your gutter cleaning needs and any tenant hours to avoid, and the work gets timed around them. We schedule the way a facilities lead would want it scheduled, one visit per building per date, with the invoice broken out by property.
We also do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners, and the same crew handles both kinds of building. Our professional gutter cleaning services cover homeowners and businesses alike, and we offer gutter cleaning and maintenance on the same visit schedule for the buildings that need it. If a run is blocked badly enough to cause a blockage or a water damage risk, we say so in the report.
We price commercial gutter cleaning per linear foot or per building depending on the property, and the number depends on stories, footage and what is in the gutters. The gutter cleaning process starts with a site plan, and the figure comes in writing per building before we dispatch.
Who pays depends on the lease: the lease decides, not us. Read the lease section above for the three common cases, and if the clause is unclear, ask the attorney who drafted it. This is not legal advice.
On a restaurant or a flat-roof building in Trenton, quarterly is what we find works, because grease and parapet debris build up faster than on a standard office. A clogged gutter on those properties tends to show up between visits, and the first sign is often a leak at the eave.
Yes, we clean gutters on commercial buildings over three stories, using a boom or scissor lift with fall protection on every job. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will confirm the setup for your roofline.
We can work around tenant hours and on-site access rules. Tell us the hours and the gate or badge process, and the crew will plan the visit around them.
Keeping clean gutters is only half the job on a flat roof, so we clear roof drains and scuppers along with the gutters, and the report shows each one.
Debris left sitting in a clogged gutter can cause roof leaks at the eave. After a severe storm in Trenton, the post-storm call-outs most often turn up debris in the downspouts and runs pulled loose from their hangers. We inspect and report what we find on each building.
Yes, we invoice per building and set up a recurring schedule for several properties. Text a photo of the roofline to start, or book a date with the number (866) 435-6328 and we will confirm it in writing.
Our commercial and residential properties work runs through the same crew, so one gutter company can keep clean gutters on both. Our gutter maintenance is cleaning and inspection. We do not repair, replace or install gutters, and we do not install guards.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
