We quote cleaning services for commercial buildings in Raleigh, priced per building from its footprint and height. Every job runs with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift, and you get a photo report of each run once we finish. We are our own scheduled crew, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Our Raleigh work runs through the spring and fall visits, and the managers who book with us tend to keep the same dates every year. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline for a written estimate.
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 gutters per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. What moves the number on our jobs is height above three stories and the boom or scissor lift it needs under fall-protection rules, compacted debris on a system nobody has cleaned in years, a gutter guard or other gutter protection that has to be lifted to reach the channel, oversized or box gutters, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and how many buildings sit on one site. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras, and any overflow at the corners is cleared as part of the scope because water that spills over runs down onto the siding. Scheduled semi-annual or quarterly service is priced lower than a one-off call, because the crew knows the building and the footage is already measured.
On a Raleigh job, the difference between a quick clear and a thorough gutter cleaning usually comes down to what the crew finds at the first run. A clogged gutter that has been building for a season costs more time than a light seasonal load, and a clog that reaches the outlet takes the longest of all. A thorough cleaning clears to the outlet, and if a system still spills over at the corners afterward, that is a slope problem we report rather than a second cleaning we sell. The gutter cleaning service we provide is a fixed scope per building, with the same steps on every property, so the managers comparing two buildings get two numbers they can read side by side.
For a recent Raleigh example, one office building with two stories and a flat roof with internal drains was quoted on linear footage and the two roof drains, with the invoice going to the landlord under a gross lease. The crew found sediment packed into the drain bodies and a blockage at one outlet, the downspouts flushed clear, and the final price followed the footage, the drains and the lift, nothing else. Properties in the service area and the surrounding areas get the same written quote. To quote a Raleigh property we need the address or a site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings on the site, and who the invoice should go to.
| 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 commercial and residential properties we service in Raleigh are on twice a year, in spring and late fall, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees or beside landscape beds moving to quarterly. On the Raleigh properties we service, the spring visit clears the seed and pollen that packs the downspout elbows, and the fall visit clears the wet leaf mat before it freezes into the channel. The storm season matters too: the managers who call us after a storm are usually the ones who skipped the last scheduled visit, and what the post-storm inspections turn up is debris pushed into the outlets and the occasional hanger that pulled loose.
What we pull out of a restaurant gutter every second month is grease-laced grit and fry-season debris that a twice-yearly visit never reaches. The restaurants on our schedules run cleanings at the intervals their grease and pollen loads call for, and the cleaning solutions we use on those runs are chosen for the residue, not the brand. That interval is the gutter maintenance a restaurant gets, and it keeps clean gutters from turning into a grease problem between visits. A gutter system that carries a lot of runoff from a large roof gets the same treatment as a restaurant, because the water has nowhere to go but the outlets.
On flat roofs, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently. The first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, which is water damage that has already started, and that is why the monthly check between cleanings exists. A monthly look at the drain domes and scuppers takes the crew a few minutes per building and catches a backup before it turns into a leak in the ceiling, which is part of the gutter maintenance we run between visits. The gutter cleaners who only do the gutters miss this entirely, and so do most gutter cleaning companies, which is why our final inspection on a flat roof covers the drains as well as the runs.
| 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 do professional gutter cleaning for commercial properties across Raleigh and the surrounding areas, in the business districts and along the corridors where our crews have already serviced buildings. We provide gutter cleaning in the service area on a fixed schedule, and Raleigh is the core of that area. A multi-building or multi-site portfolio gets one contact for every building in it, a date confirmed in writing, and one invoice per building with the linear footage shown. The gutter cleaning process is the same on every building, so a manager comparing two sites gets the same steps on both. Our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival, and work is timed around tenant hours where the property asks for it. Lead time depends on the season and the size of the portfolio, so tell us your gutter cleaning needs for each building and we confirm the first available date with you rather than promising one. Text a photo of the roofline or call (866) 435-6328 and we will book a date.
For property managers and facilities leads, the same crew returns to the same buildings, so the photos from the last visit are there to compare. That continuity is part of how we offer gutter cleaning on a schedule, along with a clear record of each run. Residential gutter cleaning is for homeowners and businesses alike, and the scope is the same whether it is a home or business. Regular cleaning helps protect your home from water damage, and a homeowner gets the same written quote a portfolio does. We handle residential and commercial work from one schedule, with gutter cleaning and maintenance set up for portfolios of any size, from a single building with a lift job to a campus of several.
We quote per building, and the number depends on the linear footage, the height of the building, the gutter type and whether there are roof drains or scuppers to clear. The exact figure comes in writing for each building, and you get the same breakdown for each one on a multi-building site.
The lease decides it, and the section above on who pays walks through the three common lease types. We write the invoice to whichever party the lease names. This is not legal advice, so read the maintenance clause of your lease or ask the attorney who drafted it.
On the restaurants and flat roofs we service, the crew finds the grease, grit and internal drain sediment building up faster than a twice-yearly visit can handle, so most of them are on quarterly. That schedule comes with a monthly roof check between visits, which is what keeps clean gutters from turning into a grease or drain problem.
Yes. Commercial buildings above three stories are worked from a boom or scissor lift, matched to the building, with fall protection on every job. Height is the biggest factor in the quote for that reason.
Yes. We schedule around tenant hours and sign in with the on-site contact on arrival, and we follow the access rules the building sets for contractors.
Both. The cleaning process covers the roof drains and scuppers on a flat roof along with the runs, and the strainer domes are reseated afterward. A drain that is not cleared can cause roof leaks, and a backed-up drain is often the first sign of a leak, so we treat it as part of the scope.
After a storm we see debris pushed into the outlets, and occasionally a hanger that has pulled loose or a downspout that has come away from the wall. We photograph and report what we find, and we clear the runs once the site is safe to work.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice with the footage shown, and a recurring schedule can cover as many properties as you manage. If you are comparing us with another gutter company, ask for the footage on their invoice too. Call (866) 435-6328 or email to set up the first date.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
