We quote each commercial job per building in Lakewood, priced from each building's footprint and height. Fall protection or a boom or scissor lift is set up on every job, and you get a photo report when we finish.
Our crew does this work on its own schedule. We are not a roofer fitting gutters in between re-roofs. Across Ohio, the properties we service book for spring and late fall, and we keep those dates on the calendar.
Quoted per building from footage, height and gutter type, in writing, before anyone is dispatched. Scheduled service costs less than a call-out.
Our professional gutter cleaning services are quoted per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched.
Height is the first thing that moves the number on our jobs. Above three stories we bring a boom or scissor lift and set it up under fall-protection rules, which adds time and equipment to the visit. Compacted debris or a clog on a gutter system nobody has cleaned in years takes longer than a light seasonal load. A gutter guard that has to be lifted and reseated shows up on the quote, and so do oversized or box gutters, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and the number of buildings on one site. A blockage at a downspout elbow is cleared on the spot. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras. Gutter protection products are quoted separately and are not part of a cleaning visit. 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 measured.
For a commercial property we need the address or a site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who the invoice goes to. Those five things let us write the quote for the right building the first time. On a flat roof with internal drains, the price is set mostly by roof access and the number of drains that have to be cleared by hand. A thorough gutter cleaning is priced on the whole run, so a full system costs more than a light one. Once a quote is written, that is the number we invoice for the visit, and a final inspection of each downspout closes it out.
| 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 residential and commercial properties we service in Lakewood, most are on twice a year, spring and late fall. Restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover are on quarterly. Across Ohio, spring visits run late May to June. Fall visits book for November to early December. Whether it is a home or business, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will book a date.
What we find drives the schedule. Across Ohio, severe thunderstorms and derechos bring the post-storm call-outs, which turn up debris packed at the downspout elbows and loose hangers that need a second look. In the fall the gutters fill with wet leaves, and a clogged gutter that goes uncleaned into the cold season is the one we find sagging by spring. Heavy tree cover and landscape debris fill the gutter system faster, so those buildings come back more often. Freeze risk is real here. Ice builds up along the eaves in the cold months, and a gutter loaded with leaves and grit is the one that holds it. Regular gutter maintenance between visits is what keeps those call-outs short.
Flat roofs are the properties we watch most closely. 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 why the monthly check between cleanings exists on those roofs. A backed-up scupper or gutter will overflow onto the siding, and that is how a clog turns into water damage. A building on a flat roof with internal drains is a building where a single blocked drain can cause a leak and water damage inside the space below. Our gutter cleaning process on these roofs ends with a final inspection of every drain, and the thorough cleaning is logged in the photo report.
| 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 covers commercial properties across Lakewood and the surrounding areas, from single commercial buildings to multi-building sites that share one owner or one management company. A property manager gets one contact for every building in the portfolio, and each visit is confirmed in writing with a date, so the work is on the calendar before the crew arrives.
Our crew checks in with the on-site contact when it arrives, and we time the work around tenant hours where that is asked for. Lead time depends on the season and the size of the job, and we give the date in writing rather than promising a fixed turnaround. We provide gutter cleaning for commercial and residential properties alike, and we offer gutter cleaning for homeowners and businesses where a property owner needs that as well. A residential gutter cleaning is the same work at a smaller scale, and for a homeowner it helps protect your home from water damage.
Multi-building portfolios are billed per building with the linear footage shown, so an owner or a board can check each line. Scheduled service is set up building by building, and we can keep one calendar for the whole portfolio, covering gutter cleaning and maintenance in one place. Some gutter cleaning companies quote by the foot from a phone call and change the number after they see the roof, and gutter cleaners who only work from the ground miss what a flat roof hides, which is why we measure first. Tell us your gutter cleaning needs by calling (866) 435-6328 or texting a photo of the building, and we will send the quote and book a date. That covers most of what a facilities lead needs from a gutter company.
We quote per building, and the number depends on linear footage, height, gutter type and what is in the system. Each building gets its own quote in writing from a site plan or measurement, so you see the scope before anything is booked.
The lease decides, not us. Read the maintenance clause in your lease, or ask the attorney who drafted it, and tell us who the invoice should go to. This is not legal advice.
On the restaurants, commercial buildings and flat roofs we service, quarterly is the schedule we see working. Grease and grit build up faster in a restaurant gutter, and flat roofs with internal drains need extra gutter maintenance between cleanings. A clog left alone on those roofs can cause roof leaks.
Yes. We set up a boom or scissor lift and work under fall-protection rules on taller buildings. Tell us the height when you request the quote so the right lift is scheduled for the visit.
Yes. We schedule around tenant hours where that is asked for, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival so access rules are followed from the start.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the scope, along with the gutters. We clear the debris and reseat the strainer domes, and where a stain needs cleaning solutions we use one that is safe for the surface. A final inspection closes out the visit, and we photograph anything else we find.
After a severe storm, the post-storm call-outs usually turn up debris packed into downspouts and gutters that have pulled loose from their hangers. We check the whole gutter system, clean any gutters that are packed, photograph what we find, and report it in writing before any repair is discussed.
Yes. Every building is invoiced separately with its footage shown, and we set up recurring service for several properties under one schedule. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the roofline to start the quote.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
