We quote each commercial building on its own, priced from the footprint and height of each one, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job and a photo report when we are done. Our crew does the work, not a roofer between re-roofs. The jobs are scheduled ahead, most of them in the spring and fall, and the crew arrives when the date is confirmed. Call (866) 435-6328 to book a date, or text a photo of the roofline for 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 commercial properties one building at a time from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. The number on the quote is the number on the invoice.
What moves the quote is what we run into on the roof. Height above three stories means a boom or scissor lift and the fall-protection setup that goes with it. Compacted debris and a clog at a downspout elbow, on a system nobody has cleaned in years, takes longer to clear. Gutter protection has to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the trough, and any damage to it goes in the report. Oversized or box gutters, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and the number of buildings on one site all change the time on the roof. Gutter overflow that has run down the siding for a season is photographed, since it usually points to a slope or outlet problem the cleaning alone will not fix. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras. A thorough cleaning on a multi-story building takes longer than a quick pass, and a thorough gutter cleaning clears the trough, not just the visible top. Clearing the trough is how we protect your home and the tenants inside it from water running down the wall. 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.
The quote is set by the building count, the stories, the flat roof sections with internal drains, and what we find on the walkway or at the downspouts, which we photograph and report. For an Allentown property, or one in the surrounding areas, we need the address or site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings, and who the invoice goes to. Anything outside our service area gets a written answer before anyone is booked. Call (866) 435-6328 to start the quote.
| 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 Allentown 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 fall visit usually lands in late October to November, and across Pennsylvania the spring visit runs late May to June. Our crew sees what the post-storm inspections turn up each season, and that drives the schedule as much as the calendar does.
What we pull out of a restaurant gutter every second month is grease-laden debris that cakes onto the trough, not leaves. On flat roofs, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently, and a backed-up drain can cause roof leaks that travel down into the top floor. The first sign tenants usually see is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, and by then the water damage is already spreading, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists. On commercial buildings of this type, a slow leak at a seam is often the first sign of a backed-up trough. The managers who call us after a storm usually have one of these problems already.
Cleaning services on a commercial building only hold if the gutter system drains cleanly between visits, so we flag the gutter guard seating and the downspout outlets on every run. A homeowner with a small building and a property manager with a large one get the same check, because the residential and commercial jobs run on the same cleaning process. A property on a regular cleaning process keeps a clean record for the board or owner to review, and the final inspection photos go into that record. Crews are judged on what drains after they leave, so the report also notes any gutter maintenance the building needs.
Tree cover and the building's use set the schedule more than anything else. A building sitting under heavy landscape debris, leaves and seed pods, needs a second visit in fall. Gutter cleaners who come once a year miss what a restaurant trough collects in a season, and whether the property is a home or business, the rule is the same: the debris sets the visit. Grease and leaves need different cleaning solutions, so the crew brings the right one for the job on the roof.
| 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 crews across the business districts and corridors of Allentown where we have serviced properties, and we handle commercial and residential properties the same way. Our professional gutter cleaning services cover the trough, the downspouts and the roof drains, and buildings set into landscape beds get a splash-block check on every run. For a property manager with several buildings, one contact handles every site on the schedule, and each building gets its own invoice so the accounts stay clean. A written quote comes first for homeowners and businesses alike, before a crew is booked.
Scheduling works like this: a date is confirmed in writing, our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival, and work is timed around tenant hours where that is asked. We also take on residential jobs for homeowners, so the same crew can handle a property that mixes uses. A blockage at a downspout outlet is often the first thing the crew finds, and it is cleared before the report is written. Left alone, a blockage turns into water damage at the fascia and soffit. Our own crews do the work on every site, and we offer gutter cleaning and maintenance across a portfolio when the buildings need it. Multi-building sites are easier to plan when one crew knows every roofline. Call (866) 435-6328 to book a date, or text a photo of the roofline for a written estimate.
Our gutter cleaning process starts with the linear footage, the height and the gutter type, and those three set the price. We give the figure in writing per building, so you see what each one costs before we book it.
The lease decides, not state law. Read the maintenance clause in your lease, or the one your attorney drafted; the lease cases are set out in the section above. This is not legal advice.
On the restaurants and flat roofs we service in Allentown, the answer is quarterly. A restaurant gutter fills with grease-laden debris within two months, and a flat roof with internal drains backs up without warning between visits. Quarterly cleanings keep a backed-up drain from becoming a leak, because standing water left alone can cause roof leaks.
Yes. We work from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection on the job, and the setup is matched to the building before the crew goes up. Height changes the price, so give us the stories when you call (866) 435-6328.
Yes. We time the work around tenant hours where that is asked, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact when they arrive so access is clear before the lift goes up. We also do residential gutter cleaning on the same crew schedule.
Both. As a gutter company we clear the gutters and downspouts, and on commercial buildings with a flat roof we also clear the roof drains and scuppers, then photograph the result. Anything we find that needs repair is reported, not repaired.
After a severe storm the calls we get are for clogged gutter runs, debris packed into downspouts, and a leak behind the fascia. Text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you whether it needs a cleaning or a closer look, so the building gets clean gutters back before the next rain.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice, and a recurring schedule covers every commercial and residential property on one calendar, with gutter maintenance between visits where it is needed. Ask for a written estimate and we will set the dates a season ahead.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
