We quote commercial work in Kettering per building, priced from the footprint and height of each one. Every job is thorough gutter cleaning done with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift, and you get a photo report of every run when we finish.
Our crew does this work full time. It is not a roofer's side job between re-roofs, so the people who quote your building are the people who climb it.
Across Ohio we handle commercial buildings: office, retail and multifamily properties, and most of our Kettering bookings come in for spring and late fall.
Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of your roofline and we will send 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 this work per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. Ask for the number first; our gutter cleaning service puts it in writing, and any gutter company worth hiring does the same, before the crew is scheduled.
Height is the biggest single factor on our commercial jobs. Above three stories the building needs a boom or scissor lift and the fall-protection setup that goes with it. Compacted debris on a gutter system nobody has cleaned in years takes longer to clear than a light run, oversized or box gutters take longer again, and gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs are priced separately from the gutter runs, and the number of buildings on one site changes how we schedule the crew. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and not billed as extras. A scheduled semi-annual or quarterly service is priced lower than a one-off call, because the crew already knows the building and the footage is already measured.
Across Ohio, the properties that call us most often are multi-building sites where one clog at a gutter or an overflow at a corner drain can spread water into the building's foundation. Thorough cleaning of the whole site means a single clog does not come back a week later, and that is how we protect your home or business from a repeat overflow. Where a building is near a parking lot or a walkway, we clear the debris we pull down, and we flag any downspout still putting water against siding or the foundation.
Tell us the address or send a site plan, the stories, the roof type and the number of buildings, plus who the invoice goes to. For a Kettering property we need those five things before we can write the number. Give the same five details to any of the gutter cleaners you are comparing us against, so the numbers line up.
| 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.
On the Kettering properties we service, most are on twice a year, spring and late fall, while restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover run quarterly. Those are the schedules we set when we first walk the building, and they hold up season after season.
After a storm the calls come in fast. The post-storm inspections turn up loose hangers, gutter sections pulled off the fascia and downspouts packed with shingle grit, so the managers who call us after a storm usually want a visit before the next rain. Spring brings the seed and pollen load, and in late fall the leaves come down and pack the runs. Where a building has a gutter guard, the crew lifts it to clear what settled underneath, since gutter protection only works when the run beneath it is clean. A gutter that was clean in October can turn into a clogged gutter by the first hard rain of the new year if nobody checked it.
Flat roofs are a different problem. Parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently, and the first sign is usually a leak: a stained ceiling tile or a blister in the membrane that the tenant spots before anyone else does. On a flat-roof membrane, ask which cleaning solutions the roofer approves before any wash goes on, and we will work to that list. That is why we run gutter maintenance checks monthly between cleanings on those buildings, not just a twice-a-year visit.
Most of our Kettering commercial clients use this schedule without thinking about it. The crew shows up on the calendar date, each visit ends with a final inspection of the runs and drains we cleared, and the invoice goes out per building.
| 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 run professional gutter cleaning services for commercial properties across Kettering, including business corridors and multi-tenant sites, and we take on portfolios that span several buildings on different streets. Our service area reaches into the surrounding areas when a portfolio calls for it, and our cleaning services can be booked as one visit or on a recurring calendar. Our crew knows the properties we service, so repeat visits go faster and the photo report picks up where the last one left off.
One contact handles every building in a portfolio. A date is confirmed in writing, the crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival, and we time the work around tenant hours when you ask us to. We keep the same residential gutter cleaning standard on our commercial work, so a homeowner, an HOA board or a facilities lead gets the same reporting whether the site is one building or twelve. Work for residential and commercial clients runs on the same calendar and the same reporting.
We also offer gutter cleaning for residential properties, and we provide gutter cleaning on the same written terms for homeowners and businesses who need the same kind of thorough work on a smaller roof. We handle the gutter cleaning and maintenance schedule for both. Where a building has a water damage risk, a blockage at a downspout or a landscape bed that washes debris toward the foundation, we flag it in the report and schedule the visit around it.
Tell us your gutter cleaning needs for each home or business, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline, and we will set the schedule and send one written quote for the whole site.
We quote per building, and the number depends on linear footage, height, gutter type and the number of downspouts. The gutter cleaning process starts with that quote, in writing, before anyone is dispatched. When you compare gutter cleaning companies, ask each one for a per-building number so the quotes line up.
Often, yes. Some leases put exterior upkeep on the tenant and others leave it with the owner, so check the upkeep terms and tell us which party the invoice goes to.
On the restaurants and flat-roof buildings we clean in Kettering, quarterly is the schedule that holds. The grease, the grit and the internal drains move faster than a standard building's gutters do.
Yes. We work from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection for those jobs, and we send the lift and crew we need for the roofline. Tell us the stories when you request the quote.
Yes. We schedule around tenant hours when you ask, and the crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival so access rules are followed before the ladders go up.
Both. We clear the roof drains and scuppers along with the gutter runs and report anything we find that needs repair, without doing that repair ourselves. Blocked drains and scuppers can cause roof leaks, so we clear them in the same visit.
Storm call-outs usually turn up loose hangers, gutter sections pulled from the fascia and downspouts packed with shingle grit. Text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you what we see and when we can get there.
Yes. We invoice per building for commercial and residential properties alike, and a recurring schedule covers every property on the same calendar. Send the list of addresses and we will confirm the dates in writing.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
