We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning one building at a time, from its footprint and height, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job and a photo report when we finish. The crew doing the work is our own and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Across South Carolina we book most commercial properties for the spring and the fall.
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 gutter work per 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 number on our jobs is height above three stories and the boom or scissor lift it takes to reach the run, compacted debris on a system nobody has cleaned in years, gutter protection that has to be lifted and reseated, oversized or box gutters, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and how many buildings sit on one site. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and never billed as extras. A gutter cleaning service on a schedule costs less per visit than a one-off call, because the crew already knows the building. A clog that comes back after a clean is usually a slope problem, and we will say so in the report rather than sell you a second cleaning. Our service area reaches the surrounding areas on the same per-building method, so the quote for a satellite property reads the same as one next door. To quote a Greenville property we need the address or a site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and the name of who receives the invoice. Each building gets its own line, so a property manager can check the work against the footage, and a building with siding gets its lowest run checked for splash-back before we sign off. For a commercial customer, the overflow we see most often is at a back run that was never cleared, and clearing that run first is how you protect your home or business from water in the walls. If you want a written estimate, call (866) 435-6328 or send the site plan, and we will reply with a per-building number. The cost of a thorough gutter cleaning is set by the building, and the number goes in writing before we start, whether the job is a thorough cleaning of one run or of a whole site.
| 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.
Most Greenville properties we service are on twice a year, spring and late fall, while restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover go on quarterly. On the properties we clean, the managers who call us after a storm are the ones who skipped the last visit. What we pull out of a restaurant gutter on the quarterly visit is grease-bound leaf and packaging debris, and a gutter cleaning process that skips it lets the run back up. Across South Carolina the storm and hurricane season is when post-storm inspections turn up the most pulled hangers and packed downspouts. On a flat roof the parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without a sound, and a blockage there usually shows first as a stained ceiling tile, the first sign of a leak, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists. A homeowner on a residential lot can often wait a season, but a commercial gutter system that holds water over a tenant's space risks water damage, so pick gutter cleaning companies that keep a record of every run they clear. Our cleaning services cover residential and commercial work with the same check, and the cleaning solutions we bring are the same on a home or business. Each visit ends with a final inspection and a photo of every run, and a gutter guard on the run gets checked the same way.
| 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 for commercial buildings across Greenville, and as a gutter company we give a multi-building portfolio one contact for every building. A date is confirmed in writing, our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival, and the work is timed around tenant hours when you ask. Our professional gutter cleaning services are the same crew whether the site is one office or a row of retail buildings. We also do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners, and we offer gutter cleaning to homeowners and businesses alike, but the commercial work is scheduled differently. A single site may need a building-by-building estimate, and that holds for commercial and residential properties alike, set up the way a facilities lead expects with the footage listed per building. Our gutter cleaning and maintenance schedule is built around the building's own cycle rather than a generic calendar, and gutter maintenance between visits is a walk of the drains. If your property has a specific need, such as landscape debris from nearby trees, tell us what it is and we will say whether we can meet it. Gutter cleaners who ask about the building before they quote tend to quote it right, and we want to hear the gutter cleaning needs of each site before we visit, so the quote matches the building. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or send the building list, and we will confirm the first date in writing.
We quote per building, but we work out the number from the linear footage, the height and the gutter type, so the same measurements can be checked by either method. The figure comes to you in writing for each building before we are dispatched.
The lease decides, and the lease cases are set out in the section above, so read the maintenance clause of your own agreement. We see the invoices, and we can name the party on each one. This is not legal advice; ask the attorney who drafted the lease if the clause is unclear.
On the restaurants and flat roofs we service, we clean them every three months, because grease and debris build up faster than on a standard building. A flat roof also needs the monthly check between visits, since a clogged gutter or drain can cause roof leaks, and the first leak is usually a stained ceiling tile.
Yes. Above three stories we work from a boom or scissor lift, tied off, and we bring the lift that the roofline needs. Height is the biggest single factor in the quote, so the stories go on the site plan.
Yes, and we will schedule around them when you tell us the hours and the access rules in advance. Our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival so nobody is surprised by the ladders or the lift.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the visit, and we report anything else we find in the photos. Repair is outside our work, so a damaged scupper is photographed and left for you to decide.
After a severe storm we are called out to check runs that were packed or pulled loose, and the usual finds are debris jammed in the downspout elbows and hangers that have let go. We send photos of each run so the report is clear, and we book the clean from there.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice, and a recurring schedule for several properties is booked a season ahead with one contact for all of them. Tell us the invoice recipient for each building, and call (866) 435-6328 to set the dates in writing.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
