Our crew quotes commercial gutter and downspout work per building in Cary, priced from the footprint and height of each property. Every job runs with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift, and you get a photo report once we finish. We are our own scheduled crew, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Across North Carolina and in Cary, we book most of our commercial work for the spring and the fall, when the seed, pollen and leaf loads are heaviest. Call (866) 435-6328 to book a visit.
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 work per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. A quote covers each building separately, so a multi-building site gets one written number per property, and you know what each one costs before the crew arrives, which is the number to hold against the bids from other gutter cleaners.
Height is the first thing that moves the number. Taller buildings take longer to reach and clear, and the lift they need is priced into the quote. Compacted debris matters too: a system that has not been cleaned in years takes longer to clear than one we see every few months. Any gutter guard or gutter protection has to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared, and oversized or box gutters take more time per linear foot than standard profiles. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs add their own steps, and the number of buildings on one site changes how we set up the crew.
Downspout flushing and debris haul-off come with every building, along with the cleaning solutions the run needs, on residential and commercial jobs alike. Recurring visits cost less per trip than a one-off call, because the work is planned ahead. Call (866) 435-6328 to set one up.
On a multi-building site with flat roofs and internal drains, the quote is built from the number of buildings, the stories on each, the roof type, and what the crew finds in the drains when we open them. That is the same set of inputs we use for every quote on this kind of property. To quote a Cary property we need the address or a site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings, and the name of the party the invoice goes to.
Every quote we write runs through the same cleaning process: we measure, we confirm the access, and we set the day. The number on the phone is the number on the invoice, and each building gets a final inspection before the crew leaves the roof. Owners and managers who manage several sites through one gutter company get the same format for every building, so the invoices line up.
| Per building | |
|---|---|
| Standard, one to two stories | from $150 |
| Oversized box or industrial gutters | from $295 |
| Three stories and up, with a lift | from $395 |
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 North Carolina the spring visit runs late April to May, and in Cary the fall visit is set for November to early December. How often a given building needs a visit depends on what grows and falls around it, so we set the interval property by property. Hurricanes and tropical storms across North Carolina are a separate reason to book a visit, and the managers who call us after a storm are usually the ones whose flat roofs back up first.
What we pull out of a commercial gutter system tells us the schedule. Seeds and pollen paste clog the downspout elbows in spring. In late fall it is the wet leaf mat that packs the runs and the flat-roof drains. On buildings under heavy trees, grit and needles collect between visits, so a semi-annual schedule is not enough for those properties.
Flat roofs need more attention than the gutters alone show. Parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently, and the first sign a tenant sees is usually a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister. That is why the monthly check between cleanings exists on flat-roof properties, so we catch a blocked drain before water reaches the ceiling below.
On a flat-roof site, a drain packed with grit or a scupper full of leaves is the kind of problem the crew clears on every cleaning. Professional gutter cleaning services on a commercial building mean the crew works the full run, since a residential gutter pass would leave the drains and scuppers untouched. The landscape around a building often sends debris back onto the roof, and water left in a clogged run can cause water damage to fascia, soffits and interior finishes, so every visit is a thorough cleaning of each run. A blockage in one downspout can back water across a whole run, and that is the most common call we answer. That is why we provide gutter cleaning on a fixed schedule for homeowners and businesses alike, and the gutter cleaning and maintenance plan follows the building rather than the calendar. Tell us the gutter cleaning needs of the property and we will set the interval to match.
| 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 offer gutter cleaning for commercial buildings across Cary, including office, retail and multifamily properties, and our service area covers the business districts and corridors in Cary and the surrounding areas where we have cleaned for property managers before. A single contact handles every building in a portfolio, and every date is confirmed in writing before the crew arrives. When the crew arrives, they check in with the on-site contact, and where tenant hours matter we time the work around them.
If a clogged gutter is causing an overflow on one building, we clear it first and photograph what we find. A leak that follows a storm is often the result of a run that backed up over a season, so we note it in the report. Our commercial buildings work follows the same gutter cleaning process we use across the portfolio, whether it is one building or twelve. We also do residential gutter cleaning for the homeowner, and we serve commercial and residential properties through the same scheduling system. Managers who book regular cleanings through us get a dated gutter maintenance calendar and a single invoice format per building. Our goal is to keep the gutters clean enough that the runs stay open between visits. A poorly maintained run can cause roof leaks into the top floor and stain the siding below, so a planned schedule helps protect your home or business and the tenants inside it. If you are looking for a gutter company that keeps the runs clean and the paperwork simple, clean gutters on every building is the standard we hold.
We price per building, and the number comes in writing once we have the linear footage, the height and the gutter type. Pricing per linear foot is one way to compare bids from gutter cleaning companies, but the number that matters is the total for each property. Each building gets its own quote, so you know what it costs before the crew is dispatched.
Lease wording decides it, so check the maintenance clause before you assume either way. Send us a copy with the booking and we will bill the party it names. This is general information, not legal advice, so ask the attorney who drafted the lease if the clause is unclear.
On the restaurants and flat-roof buildings we service in Cary, quarterly is the schedule that keeps the drains open. Grease and debris build up faster in a restaurant, and flat-roof drains back up without warning. A monthly check between cleanings catches a blocked drain before it reaches the ceiling below.
Yes. Taller commercial properties are quoted with the lift they need, and fall protection stays in place for the whole job. The equipment is confirmed before the crew is dispatched, so there are no surprises on the roofline.
Yes. We time the work around tenant hours and follow the on-site access rules you give us. Our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival and keeps the work area clear of the entrances and walkways.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs along with the gutters, because a blocked drain is what causes water to back up silently. That is what thorough gutter cleaning looks like on a flat roof. Each drain is cleared and the strainer domes are reseated before the crew leaves the roof.
After a storm, the common problems are runs that have pulled a hanger and downspouts blocked by debris pushed off the roof. We photograph what we find and report it. Storm season across North Carolina is a good reason to book a post-storm visit, and we can schedule it on the same calendar as your regular cleanings.
Yes. Each building is billed on its own line, and a recurring schedule covers every property in the portfolio through one contact. You get one dated calendar and one invoice format for every building, so the paperwork stays simple.
