We quote commercial gutter service in Hamilton 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 when we finish. Our crew is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. We service office, retail and multifamily properties across Ohio, and most managers book us for spring and late fall. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline.
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 per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. The number comes in writing for each building so you can compare it against the rest of your portfolio.
What moves the quote is what we run into on the properties themselves. A building above three stories needs a boom or scissor lift and the fall-protection setup that goes with it. A system nobody has cleaned in years carries compacted debris that takes longer to clear. Any gutter guard has to be lifted and reseated before the run can be flushed, and oversized or box gutters take more time per foot than standard ones. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs add their own line, and the number of buildings on one site changes how the crew is staged. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras. Scheduled semi-annual or quarterly service is priced lower than a one-off call, because the crew already knows the building.
Here is how this plays out on a typical multi-building office site with flat roofs: the quote is set by the number of buildings, the roof type and the debris we find on the internal drains. Our experience with the cleaning services and the gutter cleaning process is the same on every property: we measure first, write the number down, and only then send the truck. To quote a Hamilton property we need the address or a site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who the invoice goes to. Every quote includes a final inspection with photos of each run, so you can check the thorough cleaning before you pay for it. The homeowner question comes up on mixed sites, and for homeowners and businesses alike our answer is the same: home or business, we quote the building in front of us. We offer residential and commercial cleaning under one crew, which is why our cleaning solutions and our gutter cleaning companies comparison work the same way for both. Our gutter cleaners care about the gutter system, not the brand on the box.
| 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 Hamilton 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. Across Ohio, spring visits run late May to June and fall visits land in late October to November, and freeze risk here is one more reason not to let the fall visit slip. Our Hamilton schedules follow what we find on the roof, not a fixed calendar.
After storm season we see what the post-storm inspections turn up: leaves and grit packed into the lower runs, and downspouts that look clear from the ground but hold a clog at the elbow. April through June are the wettest months here, and heavy rain carries that debris into the runs, which is why the spring visit lands where it does. A standard commercial building is on a twice-a-year schedule, while a residential gutter on a tree-covered house may need a thorough gutter cleaning more often. Landscape work next to the building adds debris to the runs, and a gutter that starts to overflow at the corners can stain the siding below it.
On flat roofs on commercial buildings we see the same problem every time. Parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently, and the first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister. That is why we keep a monthly check between cleanings on those properties. Water damage from a blocked drain is the expensive kind, so text a photo of the drain or call (866) 435-6328 and we will book a short check every few weeks. Our crew also measures the blockage on each visit so we can tell whether the schedule needs to tighten. Facilities teams that handle several properties ask us to provide gutter cleaning on one schedule, and we offer gutter cleaning and maintenance as a single plan, with the gutter maintenance logged in each photo report. Tell us what you need and we will set the gutter cleaning needs for each building in writing.
| 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 work across Hamilton and the surrounding areas for commercial properties, and a multi-building portfolio is handled as one job with one contact. Each building gets its own written quote and its own photo report, but the scheduling runs through a single person on our side, so the property manager is not coordinating crews across the site.
A date is confirmed in writing before the crew arrives. On arrival our crew checks in with the on-site contact, and where tenant hours matter we time the work around them. A clogged gutter on a busy frontage gets done before the morning rush, and a leak that shows up mid-job gets photographed and reported instead of patched. Lead time depends on the season and the building count, so we give the date when we quote the job rather than promising a slot. Our professional gutter cleaning services also cover residential gutter cleaning for homeowners, and the same crew handles commercial and residential properties in the same service area, so a site with mixed buildings stays on one schedule. Clean gutters keep the water moving, which is the core of gutter protection, and reduce the risk of a leak that can cause roof leaks inside the building. If you run a gutter company of your own or manage several properties, we work as the outside crew for that work. Text a photo of the roofline or call (866) 435-6328 to set the first date.
We quote per building, and the price depends on the linear footage, the height and the gutter type. The number comes in writing for each building so you can see exactly what you are paying for. Per linear foot is one way we measure the work, but the building is what gets the quote.
The lease decides, not us. The section above lays out how the common lease types usually read. We can send the invoice to whichever party the lease names. This is general information, not legal advice, so check the maintenance clause of your lease or ask the attorney who drafted it.
On the Hamilton properties we service, restaurants and flat roofs with internal drains go on quarterly, because grease and debris build up faster and the drains back up without warning. Standard buildings usually do well on twice a year, spring and late fall. We set the schedule from what we find on the first visit.
Yes. Above three stories we work from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection in place, and we bring whatever lift the roofline requires. Height is the largest single factor in the quote, so tell us the stories when you call.
Yes. We time the work around tenant hours where asked and check in with the on-site contact on arrival. If the building has access rules, send them with the site plan so the crew knows where to park and which entrance to use.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the job, along with the gutters and downspouts, and anything we find that needs repair is photographed and reported, not fixed on the spot.
After severe thunderstorms across Ohio the calls we take are usually about debris packed into the lower runs and downspouts blocked at the elbow. We inspect those first and then clear them, which is the simplest way to protect your home or building before the next storm. If a storm has left damage, the photo report shows you exactly what the crew found.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice, and a recurring schedule covers all of your properties under one contact. Ask for a written estimate and we will set the dates for the year.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
