We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building in Fargo, 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 when we finish.
Our crew is ours and scheduled. We are not a roofer's side job between re-roofs or a set of gutter cleaners fitted in around other calls, so the person who quotes your site is the person who climbs it.
We run spring and fall visits on commercial properties in Fargo, including multifamily buildings and office sites that book around tenant hours. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will book a date.
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 from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. Our gutter cleaning service is priced for the building in front of us, and every quote covers a thorough gutter cleaning, so the number we give you is the number you pay.
Height is the biggest single factor. Above three stories the job takes a boom or scissor lift under fall-protection rules, and that setup is quoted separately from ground-level work. Compacted debris on a system not cleaned in years takes more crew time than a seasonal cleaning, and a clog or blockage in the troughs shows up in the quote. A gutter guard that has to be lifted and reseated to reach the troughs adds time, and so does gutter protection of any kind. Oversized or box gutters and roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs add time too, and gutters that overflow for seasons can stain the siding below, which is quoted on its own. The number of buildings on one site is the last piece: several buildings on one property can share a single mobilization.
Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building. They are not billed as extras. Keeping the downspouts flowing is how you protect your home from water damage. 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 set a season ahead.
On a multifamily site, the quote usually turns on the number of stories, the roof type and how many buildings share the lot. A clog left at a back run can spill water onto a walkway for seasons, and the photo report is how that gets caught before we leave. Send us the address or a site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who the invoice goes to, and we will quote the property from that.
| 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.
On the Fargo properties we service, most are on two cleanings a year, spring and late fall, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees on quarterly cleanings. Across North Dakota the spring visit lands in mid to late June, once the melt is done, and the fall visit runs October to early November, before the first hard freeze.
What we pull out of a restaurant gutter every second month is grease-laced grit and the odd bit of packaging, so the gutter cleaning process on those sites is more about the downspouts than the troughs. The managers who call us after a storm usually want a post-storm inspection more than a full cleaning, and what we find is mostly debris jammed at the outlets and the odd hanger that has pulled loose from the fascia.
On a flat roof, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently, and water sitting at one drain can soak the membrane long before anyone sees it. The first sign of a leak is usually a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, long after the water started building up. That is why a monthly check sits inside our gutter maintenance on those roofs, and why the gutter system is walked end to end on every visit rather than spot-checked.
We are not a bulk operation. Every site gets a thorough cleaning, with the troughs and outlets worked to that building's size. Each property gets the schedule its roof and its trees call for, set down in writing after the final inspection on the first visit.
| 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 cleaning services cover commercial buildings across Fargo, including office, retail and multifamily sites, and we offer gutter cleaning and maintenance on every one of them. Our crew does the professional gutter cleaning services on the buildings, picks the right cleaning solutions for each roofline, and tells you what we find on each one. We also do residential gutter cleaning for the homeowner with a house on the side, and for any home or business in the same service area, so a property manager gets the same crew.
For a multi-building or multi-site portfolio, you get one point of contact for all of your cleaning needs across the buildings. The date is confirmed in writing, and the crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. Where tenants need quiet hours or the lot needs to stay clear, we time the work around them. The crew is there to provide gutter cleaning on your schedule, not on ours, on residential and commercial sites alike, and that is the whole idea behind the portfolio arrangement.
A landscape with mature trees or a parking lot in the surrounding areas changes how the work is done, and we plan for both. We ask about your gutter cleaning needs, access and tree cover before the first visit so the crew arrives ready. Where water damage has already reached a wall or a foundation, we photograph it and flag it in the report rather than promising to fix it. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will book a date.
We quote it per building, and linear footage is one of the inputs. Height, gutter type and the number of downspouts all change the number, so the figure comes to you in writing for each building before we dispatch anyone. Quotes from other companies can differ a lot, so we put ours in writing first for homeowners and businesses alike.
The lease decides, not state law. The lease type sets who is responsible, so read the maintenance clause or ask the attorney who drafted it. This is not legal advice, and the cases are set out in the section above.
On the restaurants and flat-roof sites we service, quarterly is what keeps the internal drains clear. A clogged gutter on a restaurant is mostly grease and grit, and the first sign of a leak is usually a stained ceiling tile below.
Yes. We work from a boom or scissor lift under fall-protection rules on buildings above three stories, and the lift is matched to the roofline. Send us the stories and the roof type so we can plan the setup and get clean gutters on every run.
Yes. We time the work around tenant hours and sign in with the on-site contact on arrival. Tell us the access rules when you book and we will plan the crew around them.
Both. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs are cleared with the gutters, since a backed-up drain can cause roof leaks, and we photograph each outlet before and after.
After a severe storm we inspect the gutters and downspouts and report what we find, usually debris jammed at the outlets or hangers pulled loose from the fascia. A post-storm call is quoted from what we find on site.
Yes. We invoice per building with the linear footage shown, and as one gutter company we can run a recurring schedule across several commercial and residential properties under one contact, which is the part property managers often end up coordinating themselves. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will set up the first visit.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
