We quote every building in Newark on its own, priced from the footprint and the 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. The crew is ours and scheduled on our own calendar, not a roofer's side work between re-roofs. Our Newark work covers office, retail and multifamily buildings, booked for spring and late fall, and we also run the same service across Ohio.
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 residential and commercial building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. What moves the quote on our jobs is height above three stories, which brings a boom or scissor lift and the fall-protection setup it requires. Compacted debris on a system nobody has cleaned in years takes longer than a light maintenance pass. A gutter guard has to be lifted and reseated before the gutter underneath can be cleared, oversized or box gutters take more time per run, and flat roofs bring roof drains and scuppers that need clearing. The number of buildings on one site also changes the setup. 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. Gutter cleaning companies price this differently, so ask every quote for the same written basis. A commercial site with a homeowner-style gutter run, or a portfolio that mixes residential gutter cleaning with commercial work, still gets one quote per building. Whether it is a home or business, the figure is written per building before the first visit. Ask for the quote by building class, and we will break it out by the cleaning services each building needs and the gutter cleaning process we will follow. A thorough cleaning covers every run, and that is what the per-building figure pays for. Our cleaning solutions for a flat roof and a standard low-rise differ, so the final inspection is written into the quote too. If you also want gutter protection installed, that is quoted separately from the cleaning. Tell us the address or send a site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who the invoice goes to, and we will return the figure in writing. Our Newark experience includes an office building where the quote came down to three stories, a roof drain set, and a shared gutter system across two buildings on one lot, and the written figure was the one we invoiced.
| 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 Newark properties we service, most are on twice a year, spring and late fall, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees on quarterly. Across Ohio the storm season is severe thunderstorms and derechos, and the post-storm inspections we run turn up pulled hangers, bent downspout elbows and debris packed behind the fascia. Those findings are the reason the managers who call us after a storm get a written report with photos. Trees and landscape debris set the interval more than a fixed calendar date does, since a full gutter will overflow well before the calendar says it should. On a flat roof the parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently, and the first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, which is often the first sign of water damage. That is why the monthly check between cleanings exists on those roofs. We offer gutter cleaning on a fixed schedule so the same crew sees the same building each visit, and it makes the professional gutter cleaning services we provide easier to plan against the budget. Homeowners and businesses on that plan both get the same written report. For a residential gutter on a mixed-use site, the same schedule applies. Tree growth, leaf load and blockage from the lot next door all change the interval, so we set it from what we find on the first visit. A quarterly schedule catches the clog that a twice-yearly one misses, and it keeps gutter cleaning and maintenance on one calendar. We provide gutter cleaning on that calendar for every building under contract, so the crew is never guessing at the next date. Gutter cleaning needs do not wait for the calendar, though, and a storm can change them overnight.
| 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 crew works Newark's business districts and corridors where we have serviced commercial properties, and the business parks on our supplied list are covered on the same schedule. Our service area reaches the surrounding areas of Newark, so a building just outside the city line is quoted and scheduled the same way. For a property manager with several buildings, we run one contact for all of them, a date confirmed in writing, and a crew that checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. Work can be timed around tenant hours where asked, and we set that window on the first call. A clogged gutter on one building does not hold up the others on the same site, and a clog at one downspout gets cleared on the same visit. Every run gets thorough gutter cleaning, down to the stretch behind the parapet. Many of our commercial buildings are on the same lot, so a leak at one roofline often traces back to a neighbor's downspout, and we check that during the visit. Our commercial and residential properties get the same written invoice per building. A gutter company that cleans the whole portfolio on one schedule keeps the leak reports down, and clean gutters on every roofline are what keep water off the walls and off the siding below. Regular gutter maintenance on a fixed date is how that stays true between storms. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline to book a date, and the lead time is set by the calendar, not promised here. A missed cleaning can cause roof leaks that show up months later on the top floor, which is why the scheduled visit matters more than the one-off call.
We price it per building, and the figure depends on the linear footage, the stories and the gutter type. Per-linear-foot pricing is how the number gets built, but the figure you sign is the per-building total we write. You get it in writing before anyone is dispatched.
The lease decides, not us. Read the maintenance clause in your lease, and the section above shows how each lease type usually reads. This is not legal advice, so ask the attorney who drafted the lease if the clause is unclear.
On the Newark restaurants and flat roofs we service, quarterly is the schedule that holds. A flat roof with internal drains backs up without warning, so the monthly check between cleanings is part of that plan.
Yes. Above three stories we work from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection in place, and the lift is matched to the roofline. Call (866) 435-6328 with the height and we will confirm the setup in writing.
Yes. Tell us the tenant hours and the access rules when you book, and we will time the work around them. Our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the visit, and the strainer domes get reseated. Anything beyond that, such as a cracked scupper, is photographed and reported, not repaired.
After severe thunderstorms and derechos we get calls for pulled hangers, bent downspouts and debris behind the fascia. Text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you what the crew will need to see, because a quick look is how you protect your home from further damage.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice with the linear footage shown, and a recurring schedule covers the whole portfolio on one calendar. Ask for a written estimate and we will book the first date.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
