We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building, priced from each building's footprint and height, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job and a photo report after. Our crew is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. We work across North Carolina and book most properties for spring and late fall.
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 each building separately, in writing, from its linear footage, height and gutter type, measured off a site plan or satellite image before anyone is dispatched for a thorough cleaning.
On our jobs, height is what moves the number most. Above three stories the building needs a boom or scissor lift set up under fall-protection rules, and that setup is priced into the quote. A clogged gutter, or a clog at a downspout, on a system not cleaned in years takes longer to clear, and gutter protection that has to be lifted and reseated adds time on every run. Overflow from a blocked run can stain the siding below. Oversized or box gutters, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and the number of buildings on one site all show up in the figure.
Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras. Scheduled semi-annual or quarterly cleaning services on commercial buildings are priced lower than a one-off call, because the crew already knows the building and the footage is measured.
To quote a Jacksonville property, tell us your gutter cleaning needs: the address or site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings, and who the invoice goes to. Send those and we will return a written estimate per building, with the basis for each line, so the number you approve is the number on the invoice, which helps you protect your home or business budget. Our crew handles thorough gutter cleaning of the full run, and the gutter cleaning service is set by the building, not by a flat rate. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline to start.
| 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 Jacksonville properties we service are on twice a year, spring and late fall, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover on quarterly. Our schedule follows what we pull out of each roof on the visit before.
After a storm, the managers who call us are usually the ones who found standing water or a stained ceiling tile below a flat roof. The storm season on the coast brings hurricanes and tropical storms across North Carolina, and the post-storm inspections turn up debris packed into downspouts and parapet drains that the cleaning schedule had not yet reached.
On flat roofs, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently, and a backed-up drain can cause roof leaks before anyone sees water. The first sign of a leak is usually a membrane blister or a stain a tenant notices, which is why we run a monthly check between cleanings on those buildings.
We talk through the gutter cleaning process with the property manager before the first visit, so the gutter system, the roof drains and any gutter guard on the building are on the same list. Gunked-up runs need different cleaning solutions than light leaf litter, so the crew matches the approach to what is in the gutter. Our final inspection on each visit checks the work against that list, and the photo report lists every run we cleared.
| 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.
Jacksonville is inside our service area, and we provide gutter cleaning for commercial properties across the city and surrounding areas, delivered as professional gutter cleaning services by a dedicated gutter company. We have serviced buildings along the business corridors for property managers and facilities leads. Our crew also handles residential gutter cleaning for each homeowner in the same area, and we offer gutter cleaning and maintenance to homeowners and businesses on a single schedule, covering residential and commercial jobs alike.
A multi-building or multi-site portfolio runs through one contact, whether the buildings are commercial and residential properties or a mix. The date is confirmed in writing, and our gutter cleaners check in with the on-site contact on arrival, with work timed around tenant hours where that is asked for. Lead time depends on the property, so call (866) 435-6328 to book a date and we will confirm it in writing.
For properties with a clear water damage history or a blockage at a downspout, we note the problem in the report and give the building its own line on the invoice, so the gutter maintenance record stays in one place for the board. Where landscape beds sit under the downspouts, the crew checks the outlet and notes any washout in the report.
We price per building, and the number comes in writing for each one. The figure depends on the linear footage, the height, and the gutter type. Some managers compare gutter cleaning companies on a per-foot basis, so we can show that breakdown on the estimate as well.
The lease decides, not state law. The lease type sets who is responsible, and the maintenance section above explains the three common cases. This is not legal advice, so read the maintenance clause or ask the attorney who drafted it.
On the Jacksonville properties we service, restaurants and flat roofs with internal drains go on a quarterly schedule. Grease and grit build up faster on those roofs, and parapets back up without warning, so a quarterly visit catches it before it reaches a ceiling.
Yes. We set up a boom or scissor lift under fall-protection rules for buildings above three stories, and the lift is matched to the building. Send us the stories and the roof type so we can plan the setup in the estimate.
Yes. We time the work around tenant hours when that is asked for, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. Tell us the access rules when you request the quote so they are written into the visit.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs along with the gutters, and we report anything we find, such as a cracked scupper or a pulled hanger, in the photo report. What to do about a repair is your decision.
After a severe storm the post-storm call-outs most often turn up debris packed into downspouts and drains, and standing water on flat roofs. We photograph each run and report it so the manager has a record for the insurer and the board.
Yes. We invoice per building and set up a recurring schedule across several properties under one contact. Each building gets its own line on the invoice, and the dates are confirmed in writing a season ahead.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
