We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building, priced from its footprint and height, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job and a photo report when we leave. Our crew is scheduled and on our own payroll, not a roofer working between re-roofs. We service office, retail and multifamily properties in Clay and book them on the spring and fall schedule most of them keep.
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 commercial work per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. Nothing is billed until you have the number. The main thing that moves a quote is height. Above three stories we bring the boom or scissor lift the roofline needs, and the lift time is priced into the building. A clog that has packed solid for years takes longer to clear than a run that is maintained, so we ask when it was last opened. A run that has been left alone will overflow at its lowest point, and we plan the crew time around that. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, oversized or box gutters, and roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs each add time. The number of buildings on one site also changes the price, because the crew moves once for the whole property instead of once per building.
Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras. Any staining where a run has overflowed onto siding is photographed in the report. Scheduled semi-annual or quarterly service is priced lower than a one-off call, because the property is already measured and the dates are already booked. Every quote covers a thorough gutter cleaning of each run. Thorough cleaning means the downspouts are flushed too, not just the gutter. If a building has a gutter service area that spans two or more roof levels, we say so in the written quote before work starts. If it already has gutter protection, we say in the quote whether that has to come off and go back on, since it adds time. Clearing the run before the rain is the simplest way to protect your home from water damage.
On our Clay jobs the quote usually comes down to one question: how the roof drains. A client with a two-story office and a standard run gets a quote in minutes from a satellite measurement. A multi-building site with internal drains needs a walk of the roof, and the quote follows that walk. To quote a property we need the address or a site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who the invoice goes to. To get a number, call (866) 435-6328, text us a photo of the roofline, or book a date and we will quote from there.
| 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 Clay properties we service are on twice a year, in spring and again from October to early November, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees on quarterly. The cleaning services we run follow the same gutter cleaning process on each: a gutter-by-gutter clear, a flush of every downspout, and a final inspection with photos before we leave. To set the schedule, call (866) 435-6328, text a photo of the roofline, or book a date and we will confirm it in writing.
What we find after storm season is the main reason the schedule moves. Across New York, nor'easters are the storms that fill gutters with grit and wet leaves, and downspouts packed at the elbow are what we find after them. A clogged gutter on a restaurant fills with grease-darkened debris, and we pull it out about every second month, which is why those properties stay on quarterly. Gutter cleaners who run the same route each visit notice the change from one season to the next. Our crew checks each property at the same stage of the year so the schedule stays predictable for the site manager.
On flat roofs the water does not announce itself. Parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently, and a backed-up drain can cause roof leaks before anyone sees water. The first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists. Gutter maintenance on a flat roof is that monthly look, and it is the step gutter cleaning companies that only clear the visible run tend to skip. A gutter system that is cleared on schedule catches the problem early, and a neglected one is how a leak starts. Both residential and commercial properties benefit from the same discipline, and the schedule is set around the home or business, not the other way round. For restaurants and flat roofs, quarterly gutter cleaning is the interval that keeps pace with the debris. If the building has a gutter guard, the quarterly visit still applies, since the guard has to be lifted to reach the debris under 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.
We provide gutter cleaning for commercial buildings across the business corridors of Clay where we already have serviced buildings. We also take on surrounding areas when a portfolio spans two towns. A property manager with several buildings deals with one contact on our side for all of them. We confirm each date in writing, and the crew checks in with the on-site contact when it arrives. If the building has tenant hours or access rules, we time the work around them and ask for the access instructions before the date is set.
We are a gutter company, not a general contractor, so the scope stays to gutters, downspouts, drains and scuppers. For a portfolio, scheduling multiple sites in one visit is the main way to keep the per-building cost stable. Our professional gutter cleaning services cover residential gutter work too, so a homeowner who also has a house on the same account can book it through the same contact. We serve homeowners and businesses in Clay, and residential gutter work is a separate job from this page.
We offer gutter cleaning and maintenance on a recurring basis, and most of the buildings we take on sit on a standing gutter maintenance schedule. If you have gutter cleaning needs across several sites, send us the list and we will quote each building separately, so the invoice matches the work on each property. Any site with a serious blockage, possible water damage, or water running across the landscape is photographed and reported, not repaired by us.
We quote per building, but the number is built from linear footage, height and gutter type, so the quote reflects both. The total depends on those inputs and comes to you in writing before work starts. Ask for the quote and we will send the breakdown for each building.
The lease decides, not us. Read the maintenance clause in your lease, or the attorney who drafted it can confirm it. We send the invoice to whichever party the lease names, so the property manager is not caught in the middle. This is not legal advice.
On the restaurants and flat roofs we service in Clay, we run quarterly, because grease and internal drains back up faster than a standard run. Schedule it in writing so the dates are fixed. Text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you which schedule fits.
Yes. Above three stories we work from a boom or scissor lift, and the fall protection setup is part of the job. The lift is matched to the building, so tell us the height when you call (866) 435-6328 and we will confirm the setup in the quote.
Yes. We time the work around tenant hours where asked and follow the access rules you give us. Send the rules before the date is set, and the crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the job, along with gutters and downspouts. We do not repair or replace them. If a drain is cracked or a seam has pulled, we photograph it and put it in the report.
Across New York, nor'easters fill gutters with grit and wet leaves, and downspouts get packed at the elbow. Those call-outs are why the schedule moves for some properties. Book a date and we will clear the run, flush the downspouts and send the photos.
Yes. We invoice per building, so each property has its own line, and we set up a recurring schedule for the portfolio. Call (866) 435-6328 or email us the list, and we will confirm the schedule and the first date in writing.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
