We quote commercial properties per building in Bismarck, 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 of every run once we finish.
The crew is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. We book property managers and facilities leads across North Dakota for the spring and fall visits, and we answer the phone ourselves. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the roofline and we will reply with 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 each commercial property from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. You will know the number before a crew is sent out, and the invoice matches it for every gutter cleaning service we book.
Height is usually the biggest factor on our jobs. Anything above three stories needs a boom or scissor lift and fall protection set up before the first run is cleared. Compacted debris from a clog nobody has cleared in years adds time, and a gutter guard that has to be lifted and reseated adds more, particularly where the run sits above siding. Oversized box gutters take longer per foot than standard profile, and roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs get cleared as part of the job. The number of buildings on one site also shapes the quote, because a campus with several structures is scheduled as one visit.
A thorough gutter cleaning, with downspout flushing and debris haul-off, is included per building, and gutter protection is quoted separately. Scheduled semi-annual or quarterly service is priced lower than a one-off call, because the crew already knows the building and the dates are booked a season ahead. A plan is set up building by building, so call (866) 435-6328 or email a site plan to get one started.
Our crew is working on commercial properties in Bismarck, and the job that sets the quote is the one that tells you what we need. Send the address or a site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and the party the invoice goes to. A property with a flat roof, internal drains and a heavy debris load gets quoted differently from a two-story office with a clean run of standard gutter, and we will say why in the quote. We also keep a running record of what each job turned up, so the next estimate for a similar building starts from real measurements. Ask for the commercial case for your property type and we will send the link. Nothing in this section is a discount offer, just the terms we quote under.
| Per building | |
|---|---|
| Standard, one to two stories | from $150 |
| Oversized box or industrial gutters | from $280 |
| Three stories and up, with a lift | from $375 |
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 Bismarck 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 cleaning services we run on residential and commercial buildings follow the building's load, not a calendar we set for everyone.
In a restaurant gutter we pull out grease-laced debris and sticky residue every second month, and a clog of that kind is what the managers who call us after a storm are dealing with. Heavy spring melt and the storm season are when the post-storm inspections turn up the most blocked outlets. Our gutter cleaning process starts with a look at what the last visit left behind, so the next pass knows where to start.
On flat roofs the parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without a sound, and a blocked drain can cause roof leaks long before anyone notices. The first thing a tenant notices is a leak, usually a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, which is why the monthly check between cleanings is part of our gutter maintenance on those roofs. A homeowner can see a gutter overflow from the yard, but on a commercial roof the water runs inside the wall before anyone sees it.
Our crew writes a final inspection report on each visit, with photos of every run and any hanger, seam or outlet that needs attention. The report lists what was cleared and what is open across the gutter system, so a facilities lead can plan the next visit against a real record. We do not sell a second cleaning on the back of a problem we find, and where grease is heavy the report names the cleaning solutions used. A gutter that still overflows after a clean usually points to slope, and we say so.
| 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 takes in the business districts, corridors and business parks of Bismarck and the surrounding areas. Our professional gutter cleaning services for commercial properties are scheduled through one contact, so a property manager with several buildings deals with a single person for every visit.
A date is confirmed in writing before the crew is dispatched. When the crew arrives, they check in with the on-site contact, and work can be timed around tenant hours where that is asked for. We provide gutter cleaning across the building list in one visit where the site allows it, and each building gets a thorough cleaning, its own photo set and its own invoice line.
We offer gutter cleaning on residential gutter systems as well, and we also do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners. For a landscape with heavy tree load or a site that has had water damage from a blockage, we schedule the visit around the problem and say so in the quote. Our work covers homeowners and businesses in Bismarck, and the same crew handles gutter cleaning and maintenance on commercial and residential properties alike, since a cleared system is what helps protect your home or business. If your cleaning needs are spread across several sites, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the list, and we will lay out a schedule.
Some gutter cleaning companies and gutter cleaners quote by the linear foot alone. We price per building, and the number comes from linear footage, height, gutter type and what is sitting in the system. Each quote is written per building so a property manager can see what every structure costs. The figure is confirmed in writing before a crew is booked.
The lease decides, not us. The lease sets who carries the maintenance clause, and the section above lays out how that works by lease type. We write the invoice to whoever the lease names, and this is not legal advice, so read your lease or ask the attorney who drafted it.
Restaurants and flat roofs with internal drains are on quarterly on the properties we service, because the grease, debris and backed-up scuppers build quickly. The monthly check between cleanings catches a blocked drain before it turns into a leak a tenant can see. Text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you which schedule fits.
Yes. On commercial buildings above three stories the job is done from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection set up before the first run is cleared. We bring whatever lift the roofline needs, and the height is noted in the quote. Call (866) 435-6328 to talk through the building before a date is booked.
Yes. We time the work around tenant hours and follow the access rules the property manager gives us. The crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival and keeps the work area clear. Send the access rules with the site plan and we will build them into the schedule.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the job, along with the gutters and downspouts. Any cracked scupper or separated seam gets photographed and noted in the report, not repaired without your go-ahead. Ask for the photo set before you approve the next visit.
After a severe storm the post-storm call-outs most often turn up a clogged gutter, debris packed into downspouts and hangers pulled by weight. We photograph each run, report what is open, and clean gutters that can be cleared on that visit. A storm call-out is scheduled through the same contact as your regular visits.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice line and photo set, and a recurring schedule can be set up across several properties under one contact. Call (866) 435-6328 or book a date online and we will send the written schedule for the year. Recurring plans are priced building by building, the way a gutter company should price a portfolio of commercial and residential properties.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
