We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building in Pawtucket, priced from each building's footprint and height, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job and a photo report when we finish. Our crew is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. We handle office, retail and multifamily properties that book us for spring and late fall, and when storm season has left the gutters full.
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 gutter cleaning service per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. Some gutter cleaning companies quote a flat rate per foot, which leaves out the lift and the height. The number on the quote is the number on the invoice, and each building gets its own line.
On our properties the same handful of things moves the quote. Height above three stories is the biggest one, because it means a boom or scissor lift and the fall-protection setup that goes with it. Compacted debris on a system that has not been cleaned in years takes longer to clear than a seasonal load, and a gutter that shows overflow at the seams in a storm usually has a clog further down the run. A gutter guard or gutter protection system has to be lifted and reseated before the run can be reached, and work close to siding or a painted fascia takes more care, which is priced in. Oversized box gutters and industrial gutters take more time per foot than standard profiles. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs add their own work, and the number of buildings on one site changes how the day is planned. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras. Each building gets a thorough gutter cleaning, which means every run and downspout, not just the sections visible from the lot, and that thorough cleaning is already in the price. 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 on file.
What we need to quote a Pawtucket property is an address or site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who the invoice goes to. On one recent Pawtucket commercial job, the quote was set by a multi-building site with flat roofs, internal drains and heavy debris in the scuppers, and we cleared it in one visit rather than splitting the work across two. Read that job. Ask us for a written estimate and we will send it the same day we receive your site information, with every building listed.
| Per building | |
|---|---|
| Standard, one to two stories | from $150 |
| Oversized box or industrial gutters | from $340 |
| Three stories and up, with a lift | from $455 |
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.
Most Pawtucket properties on our cleaning services run twice a year, spring and late fall, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees moved to quarterly. The schedule follows what the building collects, and the cleaning process stays the same at every interval.
After a storm the post-storm inspections turn up the same things each time: debris packed into the downspout elbows, separated hangers on runs that were already sagging, and standing water that points to a slope problem rather than a clog. Leaves and pollen load the gutter system in spring and fall, and that is when most of our visits are booked. Where freezing conditions set in each winter, a blocked run holds water that expands and can cause roof leaks, so clearing before the first hard freeze keeps the system working through the season.
On flat roofs, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently. The first sign a tenant usually sees is a stained ceiling tile or a lifted membrane seam, so we suggest a check every month between cleanings on those buildings. Our crew can set that check up with your maintenance schedule so it does not depend on someone remembering. Where a building keeps clogging, we can also scope cleaning solutions such as a gutter guard. Each visit ends with a final inspection of the drains and downspout outlets before we leave the site, and the findings go in the photo report. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the roof, and we will book a date for the first visit.
| 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 is Pawtucket and the surrounding areas. We clean commercial and residential properties there, including the business corridors where we have serviced buildings for property managers. For a portfolio of several sites, you deal with one contact for every building, and each visit is confirmed in writing with the date and the buildings included. Our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival, and where tenant hours matter we time the work around them. Where a downspout empties into landscape beds or onto a walkway, we note it in the photo report.
Professional gutter cleaning services for a multi-building site are mostly a scheduling job, so we handle them that way. We keep one building list per property, the same crew returns to the same buildings, and the report for each visit goes to the same inbox. As one gutter company, we keep a single calendar for all of them. We provide gutter cleaning on that basis, and we offer gutter cleaning and maintenance on a recurring basis without the paperwork piling up.
We also do residential gutter cleaning, and the same crew handles it. A homeowner gets the same care as a business, and clearing a blockage early helps protect your home from water damage. Our crew works the same way across residential and commercial buildings, and the scheduling for commercial sites follows the rules above. Tell us your gutter cleaning needs for a home or business. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the roofline and we will tell you what the first visit needs to cover.
Some gutter cleaners quote per foot alone, but we show both on the quote and the number you pay is per building. The linear footage, the height and the gutter type set the figure, and it comes to you in writing before we are dispatched.
The lease decides, not us. The lease type set out in the section above tells you which party holds the obligation, and we invoice whichever party the lease names. This is not legal advice, so check the maintenance clause of your lease.
Quarterly is what we run on those properties. The grease and food debris in a restaurant gutter, and the internal drains on a flat roof, build up faster than a standard building, so a clogged gutter is far more likely between visits. The quarterly interval keeps that from happening, and it is the core of our gutter maintenance on those sites.
Yes. We work from a boom or scissor lift matched to the building, with fall protection set up on every job. Tell us the height when you request the quote and we will confirm the setup in writing.
Yes. The gutter cleaning process runs around tenant hours and the building's access rules, and we check in with the on-site contact when we arrive. Tell us the hours and the access requirements when you book.
We clear both. Roof drains and scuppers are part of the same visit, and debris is removed from site rather than left on the roof. We photograph each drain before and after.
After a nor'easter or heavy rain across Rhode Island, we get the call-outs for separated hangers, debris packed into downspouts and standing water, which is often the first sign of a leak. We photograph what we find and report it, and we clear what is blocking the flow. Storm season is when those calls come in.
Yes to both. Each building gets its own invoice and its own line in the report, and recurring schedules run across the whole portfolio on one calendar, for commercial and residential properties alike. Ask for a written estimate and we will send the building list back for your review.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
