We quote commercial gutter work per building in Charlotte, priced from each building's footprint and height. Fall protection or a boom or scissor lift goes on every job, and you get a photo report when we finish. Our crew is scheduled for this work, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. We run spring and fall visits across North Carolina, and we work around your tenants' hours.
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 satellite measurement before anyone is dispatched. Call (866) 435-6328 or send the address and we will put the number on paper.
What moves the quote on our Charlotte jobs is mostly height. Above three stories we bring a boom or scissor lift, and the setup time goes up with it. Compacted debris on a gutter system nobody has cleaned in years takes longer to clear and flush. A gutter guard has to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the channel. Oversized or box gutters need more time per run, and roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs are a separate pass. The number of buildings on one site also changes the crew plan, so a campus with four buildings is priced as a campus.
Downspout flushing, cleaning solutions for greasy runs and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras. 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 on file. The same method prices residential and commercial jobs, so a quote for a home or business reads the same way. Ask about a schedule when you call. When you compare gutter cleaning companies and gutter cleaners, ask each for the footage and height behind its number.
We keep the cost of a clog low by catching it early. A clogged gutter on a scheduled visit is a short job; the same clog left through a storm can overflow at the fascia and cause water damage at the soffit or a leak at a window head. The gutter service is also the time to look at the fascia and siding, where we will photograph any staining or loose trim and note it in the report without repairing it.
On a Charlotte property we ask for the address or a site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who the invoice goes to. A recent commercial job in the area was a two-building medical office where the gutters had not been opened in several years; the quote came down to the second building's height and the amount of compacted debris, both written into the estimate before the truck left the yard. Give us the same details for your property and we will write the quote to match.
| 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.
On most Charlotte properties we service, the gutters go on a twice-a-year schedule, spring and late fall. Restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover run quarterly. That is what our gutter cleaning and maintenance schedules show, not a guideline from anywhere else. We offer gutter cleaning on both cycles, and spring visits run late April to May across North Carolina.
Restaurants fill their gutters faster than other buildings because of the grease-laden exhaust and the dust off the parking lot. Our cleaning process for a restaurant starts at the downspouts, because that is where a blockage shows first, and we pull grit and cooking residue out of the gutter every second visit. Storm season is the other driver: the managers who call us after a storm are usually looking at debris that came down in one event and sat in the channel until the gutters began to overflow at the wall.
Flat roofs are the ones that catch people off guard. 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 exists on flat-roof sites, so a backed-up drain is found before it reaches the ceiling. We provide gutter cleaning on flat roofs that covers the drains as well as the troughs.
Our crew writes a short note on each visit about what came out and how quickly it built up, so the next interval matches the building's gutter cleaning needs. Buildings under heavy tree cover tend to need more frequent visits, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. A building with few trees may only need the fall visit, and we say so after the first cleaning rather than guessing up front. Every visit ends with a final inspection of the drains, and the result goes into that note.
| 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 on commercial and residential properties across Charlotte, and this page is written for commercial work. We also handle residential gutter cleaning for a homeowner in the same area, because a clear system helps protect your home, and that work is quoted separately. Our service area covers the business districts and corridors where our commercial clients have buildings. To confirm your street, call (866) 435-6328, text a photo of the roofline, or book a date.
For a property manager with several buildings, scheduling runs through one contact. You get one date per building, confirmed in writing, and the crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. Where the tenants want quiet hours, we time the work around them. Our crew keeps the landscape clear of the debris we pull and hauls it off the site rather than leaving it on the walk.
A portfolio gets one invoice per building with the footage shown, so a board or an owner can check it line by line. Gutter maintenance across several sites is easier when the crew is the same one each time, because they know the roof layout and where the drains sit. When you compare gutter companies, ask whether the same crew will come back on each visit, because a gutter company that rotates crews starts from zero on every roof. We keep that continuity for scheduled accounts and say so in the contract.
Clean gutters protect the roof edge and the wall below it, and a gutter system that stays clear is less likely to cause roof leaks. We do a thorough cleaning on each run, and the gutter cleaning process is written up the same way for every building. The record is the same whether it is an office, a retail strip or a multifamily property, and the same goes for a home or business. Both homeowners and businesses get the photo report. Gutter cleaning on a commercial building is a planned job, and the scheduling is handled like one.
We quote it per building, and the number depends on the linear footage, the height and the gutter type. A clogged gutter on a tall building takes more lift time than one on a single story, so height is written into the figure. Each building gets its own figure in writing before we are dispatched. Ask for the estimate by address or site plan.
The lease decides, not us. The section above on who pays lays out how responsibility usually reads under triple net, gross and silent leases. This is not legal advice, so check the maintenance clause of your lease with the attorney who drafted it.
On our restaurant and flat-roof accounts in Charlotte we clean quarterly, with a monthly check between visits on the flat roofs. Restaurants pull out grease residue fast, and flat-roof drains back up without warning. We adjust the interval after the first visit based on what we find.
Yes. Our cleaning services reach above three stories from a boom or scissor lift, with fall protection on the crew. Tell us the stories and the roof edge when you call so we can plan the lift for the site.
Yes. We schedule around tenant hours and follow the site's access rules, including check-in with the property contact on arrival. Send us the rules when you book so the crew has them before the truck arrives.
Both. On flat roofs we clear the roof drains and scuppers along with the gutters, and we photograph each one in the report. Anything else we find, such as a cracked scupper, is noted and left for you to decide.
Post-storm calls are where we see the most debris: limbs, shingle grit and mats of leaves packed into the channel, often sitting long enough to back water up at the wall. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts, then send photos of each run. That thorough gutter cleaning keeps the water off the wall.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice with the footage shown, and recurring schedules can cover all your properties under one contact, including buildings in the surrounding areas. Recurring visits are the simplest gutter protection a building can have, so text a photo of the roofline or call (866) 435-6328 to set it up.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
