We quote commercial gutter work in Albany per building, priced from footprint and height, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job and a photo report when we finish. The crew is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Spring and fall are the windows most property managers book, and we set the date in writing before anyone is dispatched.
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 commercial building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. The gutter cleaning service follows the same method for residential and commercial jobs, whether the building is a home or business.
Height is the biggest single factor on our jobs. Above three stories the building needs a boom or scissor lift set up under fall-protection rules, and that changes the crew's time on site. Compacted debris matters too: a system nobody has cleaned in years takes longer to clear than one on a regular schedule. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated, oversized or box gutters, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and the number of buildings on one site all move the number. Every blockage found along a run adds time, and a gutter guard adds more. Our crew reads the whole gutter system before quoting, not just the front run. Gutters that overflow for years can also stain the siding below, which is one more reason to clear them on schedule.
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 and the footage is measured. When you compare gutter cleaning companies, ask whether downspout flushing and debris haul-off are in the number, because ours are. Every job ends with a final inspection, and the photo report goes out with the invoice. If a building needs cleaning solutions for greasy buildup, that goes on the written estimate as its own line.
To quote a property in Albany 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. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the roofline and we will send the written estimate.
| 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 Albany 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. The cleaning services we book for those sites follow the same cleaning process as any other property, but the interval is set by what the gutters collect. Every visit runs the same gutter cleaning process, whatever the interval. Most questions from homeowners and businesses about frequency come down to what the gutters collect.
After the spring visit the storm season is what we check first. Post-storm inspections across Oregon regularly turn up runs pulled from their hangers and downspouts that have backed up with grit, which is why our managers call us after a storm rather than waiting for the next scheduled date. Leaves and pollen load the gutters in fall, and the freeze risk that follows means a blocked run can become a sagging run by winter. Across Oregon, atmospheric rivers drive the storm season, and Albany gets 43.1 inches of precipitation a year, with the wettest months in January, November and December. A blocked downspout gives the water no way off the roof, so it spills over and the overflow runs down the wall, which is how water damage starts at the fascia. The fall visit usually lands in late October to November, just as the wet season builds, and we provide gutter cleaning on that schedule and after any storm that backs the gutters up.
Flat roofs need closer attention than pitched ones. Parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently, and the first thing a tenant usually notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister. That is why we offer a monthly check between cleanings on those buildings, so the crew sees the drain before the tenant does. Gutter cleaning and maintenance on a flat roof is a different job from a pitched one, and we price it that way. We also offer gutter cleaning as a single visit whenever a flat roof backs up between checks.
What we pull out of a restaurant gutter every second month is the reason restaurants sit on quarterly with us. Grease and food debris bind with leaf mat in a way that a standard building never sees, and the clog forms faster than the schedule would catch on a twice-a-year plan. Tell us your gutter cleaning needs and the building type, and we will set the interval 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.
Our crews handle commercial and residential properties across Albany, including the business districts and corridors where our crews have serviced buildings. Multi-building portfolios get one contact for every site, and a single date confirmed in writing for each property. Our professional gutter cleaning services cover the surrounding areas, and the service area is confirmed on the written estimate. Our gutter cleaners work on commercial properties of every size, and a homeowner with a single house gets the same written quote.
Our crew checks in with the on-site contact when they arrive, and work can be timed around tenant hours if that is what the lease or the building requires. We keep the paperwork tidy so a facilities lead can check each invoice against the buildings listed. Gutter maintenance across a portfolio is simpler when one company holds the schedule and the photo reports for every site. Leaves and grit that land on beds or lawn near the building go into the same haul-off, so the landscape is left as we found it. A property with a gutter that could cause roof leaks gets flagged in the photo report the day it is found.
We also do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners in the same area, so a property manager with a mixed portfolio can use one company for all of it. Our crew is a gutter company run by employees, not a referral network, and that is the reason the same people return to the same buildings. A homeowner who also rents out a house gets the same written quote and the same crew. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline to book a date for your portfolio, and we will confirm it in writing.
We quote per building, and the figure depends on the linear footage, the height, and the gutter type. We do not give a number over the phone without measurements, because the same length can take very different time on a two-story and a four-story building. The written estimate lists the number per building.
Restaurants and flat-roof buildings with internal drains are usually booked on a quarterly schedule, because grease and debris build up faster than on a standard building. A clogged gutter on those buildings can cause a leak, often first visible as a stain on a ceiling tile. If the building has heavy tree cover, quarterly is the safer interval too. Text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you which schedule fits.
The lease decides, not us. Read the maintenance section of your lease, and the responsibility for the gutters and downspouts is set out there. The lease cases are laid out in the section above, and this is not legal advice, so check the clause with the attorney who drafted it.
Yes. Buildings above three stories are done 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 the written estimate.
Yes. We schedule around tenant hours when the property asks for it, and we check access rules with the on-site contact before the crew arrives. Tell us the window you need and we will hold the date in writing. Commercial properties with a tenant mix often need the access plan in writing, and we send one with the estimate.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs along with the gutters and downspouts, and we photograph each one. Anything else we find, such as a cracked scupper or a separated seam, goes into the photo report and is not repaired without your authorization. That is part of our thorough gutter cleaning on every roof, not an add-on. Gutter protection like guards is not part of the cleaning, but the photo report will say if one would help.
After a severe storm we check the gutters for pulled hangers, displaced sections and downspouts backed up with debris, and we report what we find with photos. Storm call-outs are scheduled on request, and the crew confirms the date in writing. Any run that has backed up gets a thorough cleaning on the same visit, so the overflow stops, and that is how you protect your home after a storm.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice showing the footage, and we can set up a recurring semi-annual or quarterly schedule across several properties from one contact. Ask for a written estimate and we will draft the schedule for your portfolio. Buildings in the surrounding areas can be added to the same schedule if they fall inside our service area. If a clogged gutter turns up between visits, call us and the crew will say whether it can wait.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
