We quote commercial cleaning per building in Brooklyn, priced from each building's footprint and height, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job and a photo report when we finish. The crew doing the work is ours and scheduled around your site, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Across New York we service office, retail and multifamily properties, booking mainly in spring and in the fall. Send us the address and stories and we will reply with a written quote.
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 buildings one at a time from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. Our gutter cleaning service starts with that measurement, and for commercial properties the number on the phone is the number on the invoice.
What moves the quote on our jobs is height. Anything above three stories needs a boom or scissor lift to keep the crew tied off, and that setup is priced into the building. A clogged gutter with compacted debris that has not been cleaned in years takes longer to clear than a clog caught early, and any gutter guard or gutter protection that must be lifted and reseated adds time on every run. A run that is allowed to overflow can soak the siding and the wall behind it. Oversized or box gutters and roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs are quoted separately, and the number of buildings on one site changes the crew's setup. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building on both commercial and residential properties and are not billed as extras, and scheduled semi-annual or quarterly service is priced lower than a one-off call. A thorough cleaning is priced on the time it takes, and a thorough gutter cleaning is not priced on the footage alone.
On a recent Brooklyn job, a three-story multifamily building with a flat roof and internal drains needed the lift and two crew members for a full day. The quote was set by stories, roof type and the drains, which we flagged in writing before the visit. A building with landscape debris from nearby trees is quoted on the same basis. For a building like this we ask for the address or a site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who the invoice goes to, so the first quote is accurate. Anywhere in our service area is quoted the same way, and a plan on file makes each repeat visit faster to schedule for your property. Tell us your gutter cleaning needs by calling (866) 435-6328 or texting a roofline photo, and we will reply with a written quote. Ask any gutter cleaning companies or gutter cleaners you call how they price a building over three stories, and compare the answer to ours.
| 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 Brooklyn 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. The crew sees this schedule play out on the cleaning services it runs every season. The schedule works the same for residential and commercial buildings.
After a storm, the managers who call us are usually the ones who had a clear view of the roof and the downspouts. Each visit follows the same gutter cleaning process: the crew checks the whole run, and the final inspection photographs each drain before the truck leaves. Across New York, storm season is when the most debris and standing water show up.
On flat roofs, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently. A blocked drain on a flat roof backs up at the parapet before anyone sees water on the pavement, and the first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister. That is why the monthly check between cleanings exists, and gutter maintenance between cleanings is a check of the downspouts and drains, not a full clean. A restaurant gutter that we clean every second month pulls out grease and debris that a semi-annual schedule would let build up. A gutter guard and other cleaning solutions slow that buildup, but neither replaces the cleaning. We do not decide the schedule for you; we tell you what we pull out of the gutter system on each visit and set the interval from that.
| 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 across Brooklyn's business corridors and the surrounding areas, and we have serviced properties in the districts where office and multifamily buildings cluster. For a property manager with several buildings, the scheduling works through one contact: one date confirmed in writing for each building, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. Where tenant hours matter, we time the work around them.
We also do residential gutter cleaning for each homeowner who calls, and we offer gutter cleaning to homeowners and businesses on the same written terms. The same crew handles mixed portfolios of commercial and residential properties, and any home or business in the service area gets the same written quote. Clear gutters protect your home from the same water damage a commercial roof sees. Our commercial work covers office, retail and multifamily properties, and the residential work is the same service applied to smaller homes. Lead time depends on your schedule and is confirmed when you book.
This is a lot of work for a single crew, so we keep the buildings on a calendar and send the dates ahead. Each visit we note any blockage we cannot clear from the ground and photograph it, because a missed blockage is how water damage starts at the fascia and the ceiling below. Whether you need one building cleaned or a portfolio scheduled over the year, we provide gutter cleaning and maintenance on the same terms and bill each building on its own invoice.
We price each building from its linear footage, stories and gutter type, and the number comes in writing for that building. Per linear foot is one input, but height and debris load change the time on site, so we do not quote the footage alone.
The lease decides, not us. Read the maintenance clause in your lease, and send us the invoice address you need on the quote so the bill goes to the right party. This is not legal advice; see the lease section above for how each lease type reads.
On the restaurants and flat-roof buildings we service, quarterly is what keeps the drains clear. We find grease and debris in those gutter systems that a semi-annual schedule lets build up, and that buildup can cause roof leaks before the stained ceilings show up.
Yes. Commercial buildings above three stories are done from a boom or scissor lift with the crew tied off, and the lift is part of the quote for that building. Send us the stories and we will confirm the setup in writing.
Yes. We schedule around tenant hours and building access rules when you tell us what they are, and the on-site contact is told the day before. Our process runs the same way in every building, and our crew checks in on arrival so nobody is surprised by the ladders or the lift.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the job when they are on the scope, and they are quoted separately from the gutter run. Anything we find that needs repair, such as a leak at a scupper, is photographed and reported, not fixed.
After a severe storm in Brooklyn we get calls to check gutters that were pushed by debris or overflowed during heavy rain. What we usually find is packed material in the downspouts and standing water behind the fascia. A clogged gutter that can overflow runs water down the siding and into the wall, which is where water damage starts. We photograph it and tell you what is clogged and what is a slope problem.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice, and as a gutter company that keeps one file per property, we set a recurring schedule that keeps clean gutters on every building in the portfolio with one contact. Text a photo of the roofline or call (866) 435-6328 and we will set up the calendar and send a written estimate for each building.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
