We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning in Greensboro 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 finish. We are our own crew, scheduled on a calendar, not a roofer picking up gutters between re-roofs. We book spring and late fall visits for property managers and facilities leads, and we set each building up in writing before anyone climbs.
Quoted per building from footage, height and gutter type, in writing, before anyone is dispatched. Scheduled service costs less than a call-out.
Our cleaning services for commercial gutters are quoted per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will return a written estimate.
What moves the number on our jobs is mostly height. Above three stories we bring a boom or scissor lift and the fall-protection setup that goes with it. Compacted debris on a gutter system nobody has cleaned in years, or a blockage at one downspout, takes longer than a light seasonal load. A gutter guard that has to be lifted and reseated, oversized or box gutters, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and the number of buildings on one site all change the scope. Gutter protection already fitted to a run adds time, because it has to come off before the clear and go back on after. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras. Cleaning solutions for a membrane roof are a separate line, and only when they are needed. Scheduled semi-annual or quarterly service is priced lower than a one-off call, because the footage is already measured and the dates are booked ahead.
On our Greensboro work, the quote is the invoice. We do not add a surcharge once we are on site. A homeowner with a single house sees a different scope, and we quote residential and commercial jobs the same way. This page is about commercial buildings, and for those the gutter cleaning process is the same whether the building is an office block or a retail strip: the crew checks gutters, downspouts and drains, clears them, flushes each downspout to confirm flow, and photographs every run. That is a thorough gutter cleaning, and it is already in the quote. The final inspection is done from the ground and from the lift, so the report shows the building as we left it.
Our professional gutter cleaning services are priced from what we know about commercial properties here. We offer gutter cleaning by the building, not by the hour. Some gutter cleaning companies bill by the hour and tack the haul-off on at the end, and plenty of gutter cleaners quote from the street and revise once they are on the roof. A property manager sends us the address or a site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who the invoice goes to, and we return the figure per building. If you run more than one site, we invoice each building separately so the board or owner can check it line by line. Call (866) 435-6328 to book a date or ask for the estimate in writing.
| 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.
Gutter cleaning and maintenance is set building by building. Most Greensboro properties we service are on twice a year, spring and late fall, while restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover go on a quarterly schedule.
Storm season and the leaf drop change the load more than anything else. After a severe storm we are called back to clear debris that washed into runs and blocked the outlets, and those post-storm visits are what most managers remember. Pollen and seed load the gutters in spring, and the wet leaf mat in late fall is what sags a run under ice. A clog at one downspout makes the run overflow in heavy rain, and the water runs down the siding and into the landscape beds below, which is usually where the first complaint comes from. Clear runs are how you protect your home or business from that overflow.
Flat roofs are where the trouble hides. Parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without a sound, and the first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, by which point the water damage has already started. A blockage at an internal drain is usually the cause, which is why a monthly check between cleanings exists on the sites that need it. A restaurant gutter is worse again, with grease and food debris that a twice-yearly visit does not keep up with.
Each building's gutter cleaning needs set the schedule, not the one that fills the calendar. The residential gutter guidance online does not apply to a building with a flat membrane and a kitchen exhaust, so we set the interval from what comes out of the gutters at each site. A scheduled plan is the way to keep gutter maintenance on a fixed interval, and we can set one up across several buildings. Call (866) 435-6328 or book a date and we will confirm the visit in writing.
| 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.
Our service area is Greensboro's commercial corridors and the surrounding areas, and for a multi-building portfolio we keep one contact for every site. We provide gutter cleaning for each building through that contact, and we offer the same scope whether the site is one office or a whole row of units. A date is confirmed in writing, our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival, and work is timed around tenant hours where that is asked. We will not leave a clogged gutter standing for a second visit because the scheduling was loose. Every visit is a thorough cleaning from the first run to the last downspout.
As a gutter company, our process for a portfolio is simple. You send the list of addresses and the stories, we schedule each building against the others, and the invoices come per building with the footage shown. If a building has a standing problem such as a leak at a roof penetration or water coming off a parapet, we photograph it and report it, and the cause goes in the report rather than into a second cleaning bill. A blocked run can cause roof leaks, but clean gutters alone do not always stop one, and we say so when the photos show the cause is somewhere else.
We also do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners and businesses in the same area, and the crew works those jobs the same way. Whether it is a home or business, the crew gives the same written quote and photo report. Our record for commercial and residential properties is kept by building, so a manager who moves from one site to another has the history in one place. Lead times depend on the season and are given when you book. Call (866) 435-6328 to set up the first visit.
Per building, from linear footage, height and gutter type, and the figure is in writing before we are dispatched. A thorough gutter cleaning is what that figure covers, and pricing per linear foot and pricing per building both depend on those inputs, so ask for the quote on your own site.
The lease decides, not state law, and the cases are set out in the section above; we do not restate them here. This is not legal advice, so read the maintenance clause of your lease or ask the attorney who drafted it.
On the Greensboro restaurants and flat roofs we service, quarterly is what keeps the drains and scuppers clear, because grease and debris build faster than a twice-yearly visit can handle.
Yes. We bring a boom or scissor lift and set up fall protection for the job, and the lift is matched to the roofline before we quote.
Yes. Tell us the hours and the access rules when you book, and we will schedule the crew to match and check in with the on-site contact when we arrive.
Both. Roof drains and scuppers are cleared of debris and their strainers reseated as part of a thorough cleaning of the building, and any defect we find is photographed for the report.
Our post-storm call-outs most often turn up debris packed into the runs and blocked outlets, and we clear those first. Gutter protection can cut that debris down, but it does not replace clearing the runs, and clearing them is what helps protect your home or business from leaks. Call (866) 435-6328 and text a photo of the roofline so we can plan the visit.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice with the footage shown, and a recurring plan keeps the dates fixed across the portfolio. Ask for a written estimate and we will set the schedule up.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
