We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building in Aloha, based on the footprint and height of each one. Every job runs with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift, and you get a photo report of the work afterward. Our crew is scheduled and employed, not a roofer doing this between re-roofs. Across Oregon, we book the most commercial work in spring and late fall, when the buildings we service need it most.
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. That written number is what we invoice.
What moves a quote on our jobs is usually height. Anything above three stories needs a boom or scissor lift set up under fall-protection rules, and that adds cost. Compacted debris on a system that has not been cleaned in years takes more crew time. Gutter protection and any gutter guard have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Oversized box gutters and industrial gutters take longer per linear foot. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs need their own pass, and the number of buildings on one site changes how we schedule and price the visit.
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 dates are booked ahead. The work itself is the same whether it is a single call or a plan.
A clogged gutter will overflow, and the water runs down the wall into the landscape beds and the surrounding areas around the foundation. A clog like that is how a gutter problem turns into water damage on the siding, and clearing it on schedule is the cheapest way to protect your home or business from that kind of damage. Our approach to commercial properties is a thorough cleaning of every run, which means a full pass rather than a quick look from the ground, followed by a flow test so you can see the gutter is actually carrying water rather than just looking clear.
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 before we can write a quote for a commercial property in Aloha. Send those and we will put the number in writing.
| 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 Aloha 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 are on quarterly. Our cleaning services follow the cleaning process we use on every job: clear the runs, flush each downspout, flow test, then a final inspection with photos.
On a restaurant building, the most common thing we pull out is a greasy mat of leaves and grit packed against the lip, and that is how a gutter slowly loses its flow. The managers who call us after a storm are usually the ones whose gutter system held water all winter without anyone opening it. Our homeowner clients on residential jobs run a similar schedule, and the same crew handles commercial and residential properties, so the crew knows the building before it arrives.
On a flat roof the parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without a sound. The first thing the tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, by which point the leak has been running for a while, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists. Gutter cleaning companies that only come out twice a year miss that window entirely, and we do not want you finding it from the ceiling.
| 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 provide gutter cleaning across Aloha for commercial buildings, and we offer gutter cleaning on a fixed schedule for multi-building portfolios, which is the scheduled gutter maintenance most property managers end up wanting. Our professional gutter cleaning services run the same way on every account: one contact handles every building, and a service date is confirmed in writing before the crew is dispatched. Tell us your gutter cleaning needs building by building, and where you ask us to, the work is timed around tenant hours so it does not get in the way of the people inside. The crew checks in with the on-site contact when it arrives.
Multi-site managers get a single invoice per building, with linear footage listed so the board or the owner can check it. For properties that need a blockage cleared on short notice, we will tell you what we can schedule and when, and which cleaning solutions fit that building, rather than promising a date we cannot hold. We also do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners and businesses in the same service area, so one crew can handle a mixed portfolio.
To get started, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline, and we will book a date for each building in writing.
We price per building, but the number is built from linear footage, height and gutter type, so per-foot figures are part of the calculation. We will not quote a number over the phone without those details. Send the address or a site plan and we will put the figure in writing for that building.
The lease decides it, not state law, so read the maintenance clause in your agreement. The section above on who pays covers how the lease types usually read. This is not legal advice, and our invoice goes to whichever party the lease names.
On the restaurants and flat-roof properties we service, quarterly is what keeps the internal drains and gutters running clear. The grease and grit in a restaurant gutter build up faster than leaves alone would, and a gutter company that schedules those buildings twice a year is leaving that buildup for six months. We see the difference between a quarterly and a twice-yearly building every visit.
Yes. On commercial buildings above three stories, the job is done from a boom or scissor lift, with fall protection set up before anyone goes up. The lift is matched to the building, so the crew brings the boom or scissor lift the roofline needs.
Yes. Tell us the tenant hours and any access rules, and we will schedule the work around them. Our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival so nobody is surprised by a ladder in a loading zone.
Both. On a flat roof we clear the roof drains and scuppers along with the gutters, since a backed-up drain is one of the fastest ways to cause roof leaks. We photograph any drain that is cracked or backing up, and what we find there is reported in the photo report rather than repaired without authorization.
After a severe storm the post-storm call-outs usually turn up debris packed into the downspouts and gutters that were already slow before the rain. We clear it, flow test the runs and photograph what we find. If a run is pulled or a seam has separated, we note it in the report so you can decide what to do about it.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice with linear footage shown, and a recurring schedule can cover every property on the account on one calendar. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will set up the dates.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
