We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building in Staten Island, priced from each building's footprint and height. Every job runs with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift, and you get a photo report of the roofline when we finish. We are the crew that does the work, not a roofer fitting gutters in between re-roofs. Our Staten Island crew books spring and fall, so most managers set one date a season and keep it.
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 cleaning per building, from linear footage, height and gutter type, and the quote is in writing before anyone is dispatched. Our gutter cleaning process starts with a site plan or a satellite measurement across the service area and the surrounding areas, so you get the number without a crew on the roof first.
Four things move the quote on our jobs. Height is the big one, because every extra story adds lift time and setup before the first run is touched. Compacted debris matters too, because a system that has not seen a thorough cleaning in years takes longer than one we cleaned last season. A gutter guard or other gutter protection that has to come off first adds time, and so do oversized or box gutters and roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs. The count of buildings on one site matters as well, since a single mobilization can cover several.
Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are both in the per-building price, and clearing the system on schedule is the simplest way to protect your home or business from water damage, whether you are a homeowner or a property manager. A gutter cleaning service on a set calendar is priced lower than a one-off call. A clog, overflow or blockage on a commercial run usually traces back to an outlet, and we clear that as part of the job before water reaches the siding. Where water is spilling over the front edge of a run, that points to a slope or hanger problem, and we say so in the report rather than selling a second cleaning.
The quote usually comes down to stories, roof type and the number of buildings on the lot, with debris on the flat roof drains setting the time. We write every quote the same way for commercial properties, because a thorough gutter cleaning starts with a number you can check: send the address or site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who the invoice goes to, and it comes back in writing. Call (866) 435-6328 or book a date and we will start 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.
Across New York, the spring visit runs late May to June and the fall visit lands November to early December, before the freeze. On the Staten Island properties we service, most go on the twice-a-year schedule, while restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover are on quarterly. That split comes from what we pull out of each home or business, and commercial buildings with heavy debris move up to quarterly, so the schedule is set per building, not by a general rule.
After the storms across New York, nor'easters included, the post-storm inspections turn up loose hangers, separated seams and debris packed against the downspout outlets, and that is the first thing our cleaning process checks. A restaurant gutter system that handles grease and food debris fills faster than a standard office gutter, so our cleaning services for restaurants run every second month. A gutter guard does not remove the need for a cleaning on those properties either.
Flat roofs are where the trouble starts without a sound. Parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently, and the first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister. That is why the monthly check between cleanings is part of our gutter maintenance on those properties, so the drain gets looked at before the water finds the ceiling. A blocked drain is a gutter problem, and clearing it is one of our cleaning solutions, while a failed membrane is a roofer's job. Call (866) 435-6328 or book a date and we will set the monthly check on your calendar, with a final inspection closing out each visit.
| 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 have serviced commercial properties across the business districts and corridors of Staten Island, and we schedule them as one account when a property manager has several buildings. One contact covers every building on the list, and each visit gets a date confirmed in writing. Call (866) 435-6328 or book a date to get on the schedule. Our crew checks in with the on-site contact when they arrive, and where a building has tenant hours or access rules, we time the work around them.
We offer gutter cleaning and maintenance across commercial and residential properties in the borough, and the same crew handles a multi-site portfolio the way it handles a single building, bagging the leaf litter that washes out of any landscape bed under a downspout. Each building gets its own invoice with linear footage shown, so an owner or board can check it line by line.
Our professional gutter cleaning services serve homeowners and businesses alike, and every professional gutter cleaning job on a commercial account gets the same photo report. A residential gutter job follows the same written quote, with residential gutter cleaning booked on the same calendar. Tell us your gutter cleaning needs building by building, and the quote comes back in writing.
Property managers comparing gutter cleaning companies usually ask the same things: who carries the lift, what the photo report shows, and whether the invoice splits by building. We answer all three in writing, so you can line us up against other gutter cleaners and any other gutter company on the bid list.
We quote per building, and the number depends on the linear footage, the height and the gutter type. The quote comes in writing, so you see exactly what drives it before anyone is booked.
Tell us how the crew gets onto the roof when you request the quote, whether that is a key, an access code or a building engineer on site, and we plan the visit around it. The on-site contact is checked in on arrival either way.
On the restaurants and flat-roof properties we service, quarterly is what keeps the drains clear. Between cleanings a monthly check catches a backed-up scupper before it reaches a ceiling.
Yes. Send the stories and the roof type with your request, and we match the lift and the fall protection to the building before the crew is dispatched.
Yes. Tell us the tenant hours and the access rules when you request the quote, and we schedule the work to match, with the on-site contact checked in on arrival.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the job, along with the gutter and downspout runs. Anything we find that needs repair is photographed and reported, not sold.
After storms across New York, nor'easters included, we see loose hangers, separated seams and debris packed against the downspout outlets. A clogged gutter that backs water over a roof edge can cause roof leaks, and catching a leak early is easier on the budget than repairing the ceiling under it. Those are the calls we schedule first, and we photograph every run before we leave.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice, and a recurring schedule covers all of them with one contact and dates confirmed in writing. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline to start.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
