We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building, priced from each building's footprint and height. Every job is done with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift, and you get a photo report when we leave. Our crew is scheduled and employed by us, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. We work spring and fall, and across North Carolina we clean office, retail and multifamily buildings for managers who need the work done once and documented.
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, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. The quote tells you what the work costs for that building and nothing else is added later. When you compare gutter cleaning companies, ask each of the gutter cleaners for the same footage, height and gutter type, so the numbers line up. What moves the number is what we run into on the property. A building over three stories needs a boom or scissor lift and the fall-protection setup that goes with it. A clog at a downspout head takes longer than a light seasonal load, and compacted debris on a system that has not been cleaned in years takes longer still. Any gutter guard on the run must be lifted and reseated before the gutter can be cleared. Oversized or box gutters take more time per foot than standard ones. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs need to be cleared as well, and the number of buildings on one site changes how the crew is set up. The gutter system on each building is measured before the quote goes out, so the figure matches what is on the roof.
A thorough cleaning includes downspout flushing and debris haul-off per building, and neither is billed as an extra. Downspout flushing is done with water and no cleaning solutions. Scheduled semi-annual or quarterly service is priced lower than a one-off call, because the crew already knows the property and the footage is measured. A one-off visit carries dispatch and setup on its own, while regular gutter maintenance spreads that cost across the year. A blockage found on a scheduled visit costs less to clear than one found after a leak.
On one Greenville job the property was a multi-tenant office building with a flat roof, two stories and internal drains. The quote was set by the number of drains, the lift needed to reach the parapet line, and the fact that the system had not been opened in several years. What we found was compacted sediment in the internal drain lines and two downspouts that discharged onto a walkway, and the quote was written before the crew arrived. To quote a Greenville 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. The cleaning services, the cleaning process and the final inspection are described in writing on each quote, so the property manager can check the scope before the work is booked. Residential and commercial jobs run on the same approach, and for a home or business alike the quote is built from the building, not from a homeowner's rate.
| 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.
Most Greenville properties we service are on twice a year, spring and late fall, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees on quarterly. The schedule follows what we pull out of the system at each visit, and it changes after the first season once we know how fast the load builds on that property, so the clean gutters stay clean for longer. Across North Carolina, spring visits run late April to May, and our fall visits in Greenville run November to early December. Tell us your gutter cleaning needs and each professional gutter cleaning visit is booked on that calendar.
What we find depends on the season. A blockage in one downspout shows up as overflow at the eave on the next storm. Across North Carolina, hurricanes and tropical storms on the coast bring a load of leaves and debris into the system, and the post-storm calls turn up separated seams, gutters pulled off their brackets and siding pulled loose beneath them. Leaves and pollen build up in the late spring and again in the fall, and a gutter that is cleaned once a year in late fall will still be carrying the summer load in May. Greenville gets 51.1 inches of precipitation a year, and the wettest months are July, August and September, so the load builds through the wet season. Greenville has freeze risk, and snow is light, about 3.3 inches a year, mostly in January.
Flat roofs behave differently from pitched ones. Parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without any sound, and by the time the water is visible the membrane is already stressed. The first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a blister in the membrane, and by then water damage is already inside the deck, which is why we run a monthly check between cleanings on those properties. A restaurant gutter is on a quarterly schedule because of grease and food debris that a standard building never produces. Buildings under heavy trees go quarterly because the needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, and a landscape bed along the eaves adds mulch to the load. Our Greenville crew has a flat-roof office property on quarterly service and a standard two-story building on twice a year, and both sites are on the same calendar as the rest of the portfolio. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will book a date on your calendar.
| 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 across the commercial properties of Greenville and the surrounding areas, and Greenville is the core of our service area. We handle multi-building and multi-site portfolios on one schedule. One contact covers every building, a date is confirmed in writing, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact when they arrive. Work can be timed around tenant hours where that is asked for, so the crew is not on the ladder during the busiest part of the day. The clogged gutter that can cause roof leaks on a flat roof or a parapet, and the leak that follows, is the most common reason a manager calls us, and that is handled the same way as any other cleaning visit. Our gutter cleaning process runs the same on each building, from the first visit through the final inspection.
We also do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners and businesses in Greenville, and we clean commercial and residential properties on one calendar, so a property manager who runs both kinds of building can use one company for both. Our gutter cleaning and maintenance schedule for commercial buildings is set per property and follows the same recurring plan. Gutter company work for a commercial portfolio is booked as one job per building, and our professional gutter cleaning services end every visit with the same written report. Every visit is a thorough gutter cleaning, not a sweep from the parking lot. Clearing the gutters on a schedule is how you protect your home or building from the next leak. We offer gutter cleaning on a one-time basis or as a recurring plan, whichever fits the property. Gutter protection is a separate job and not part of this visit, but any guard we find on a run is lifted and reseated before the clearing. A standard building with a leak or an overflow is cleaned and reported with photos. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will book a date on your calendar.
We price it per building, and the number comes in writing for each one. It depends on the building's linear footage, its height and the gutter type, and we measure from a site plan or a satellite image before we give a figure.
The lease decides. The section above on who pays lays out the three common lease types, and we do not restate them here. We write the invoice to whichever party the lease names, and this is not legal advice.
On the properties we see most, a restaurant or a flat roof is cleaned quarterly, because the grease, the grit and the internal drain load build up faster than on a standard building.
Yes. We use a boom or scissor lift and fall-protection gear on every job, and the lift is matched to the height of the building.
Yes. Tell us your gutter cleaning needs, the hours and the access rules when you book, and the crew will plan the visit around them.
We clear both, and we offer gutter cleaning for the whole roofline. The visit does not include gutter protection installation, but the clearing is. Roof drains and scuppers are part of the same visit and are reported with photos like every other run.
The post-storm calls turn up separated seams, pulled brackets, a clog at a downspout head and a blockage further down the run, and we photograph each one. Clearing the system after a storm is how you protect your home or building from the next leak. Each one is listed in the report, so the next step is clear.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice, a recurring schedule can cover the whole portfolio in our service area, and the same crew handles every visit. Call (866) 435-6328 to set it up, or text a photo of the roofline and ask for a written estimate.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
