We quote commercial gutter work in Mount Pleasant per building, priced from 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 every run when we finish. Our crew is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Across South Carolina our crews keep spring and late fall calendars for office, retail and multifamily owners who want the same people on the same buildings every visit.
Quoted per building from footage, height and gutter type, in writing, before anyone is dispatched. Scheduled service costs less than a call-out.
Our gutter cleaning service is quoted per building 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.
Height is the biggest single factor on our jobs. On a taller building the crew needs a boom or scissor lift and the fall-protection setup that goes with it, and that adds time to the crew day. Compacted debris is next: a system nobody has cleaned in years means more hours in the runs and more haul-off. A clog at the bottom of one downspout can make the whole run overflow down the siding. A gutter guard has to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared, oversized or box gutters take longer per foot, and roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs are cleared as part of the job. The number of buildings on one site changes the setup as well, since one lift move can cover several roofs.
Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras. A thorough gutter cleaning covers every run, and the quote is for a thorough cleaning of each one, not a quick pass over the visible sections. Gutter protection, such as a guard, is a separate job and stays off the cleaning quote. Recurring visits on a fixed calendar are priced lower than a one-off call, because the crew already knows the building and has its footage on file. When you compare gutter cleaning companies, gutter cleaners or any gutter company, ask each one for the per-building figure in writing.
Here is how that plays out on a quote: a four-story flat roof with drains nobody has cleared in years takes more hours than a two-story pitched roof of the same footprint, and three buildings on one site can share a single lift move. The invoice is written per building with the linear footage shown, so you can check each line. Send the address or site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who the invoice goes to, and call (866) 435-6328 to book a date.
| 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 Mount Pleasant properties we service are on twice a year, spring and late fall, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees on quarterly. We set these visit schedules the same way for residential and commercial properties. Across South Carolina, spring visits usually fall in mid to late April, and fall visits in Mount Pleasant run late November to December. Each visit follows the same gutter cleaning process, so the crew finds the gutter system in the same state it left it, and the cleaning services stay consistent from one season to the next.
After a storm, the usual findings are leaves and grit packed in the downspouts and runs pulled off their hangers. Across South Carolina, hurricanes and tropical remnants bring the heavy rain that fills gutters fastest. Mount Pleasant gets 54.3 inches of rain a year, and July through September is the wettest stretch, so the runs carry the most load then. Pollen and leaf load matter in spring and fall, and freeze risk is real here. Standing water that backs up the gutter can do water damage to the fascia and the wall below.
On flat roofs, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently. A blockage in an internal drain can cause roof leaks, and the first sign of a leak is usually a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists. Gutter maintenance between visits is the monthly check we run on restaurants and flat roofs. Grease and leaves need different cleaning solutions, so tell us what the roof collects when you book. Regular cleaning helps protect your home or business from that. A restaurant gutter that goes two cleanings without service fills with grease and grit faster than any other building type we run.
| 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 covers Mount Pleasant and the surrounding areas, and we work on commercial and residential properties across it. A portfolio of buildings gets one contact from us for every site. You get a date confirmed in writing, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. Where asked, we time the work around tenant hours so the parking lot and walkways stay open. Call (866) 435-6328 to book a date, or send a photo of the roofline and we will confirm one.
We provide gutter cleaning for a single building or a site with several, and we offer gutter cleaning and maintenance on a fixed calendar for either. Lead time depends on the calendar and the property, so we confirm a date for your buildings rather than promise one in advance. Every visit ends with a final inspection and a photo report for each home or business we clean.
We also do professional gutter cleaning services for homeowners and businesses we serve, and the same crew handles residential gutter cleaning needs when a property owner wants it on the same schedule. Tell us about your roof when you call, including stories, roof type and any landscape beds or walkways the crew has to work around. For commercial buildings, the job is always per building and always written up.
We quote per building, and the number depends on the linear footage, the height and the gutter type. Some owners think in linear feet and we show that figure on the invoice, but the total comes in writing for each building before we are dispatched.
It can, depending on the lease type. The answer is in the lease itself, usually in the maintenance clause, and that is the line worth reading before you sign or renew.
On the restaurants and flat roofs we service, quarterly is the schedule that holds, because grease and grit build up faster than leaves alone. A monthly check between cleanings catches a clogged gutter or a blocked internal drain before a tenant sees a stain.
Yes. Taller buildings get a boom or scissor lift matched to the roofline, with fall protection in place, so tell us the height when you request the quote.
Yes. We schedule around tenant hours where asked and check in with the on-site contact on arrival. Tell us the access rules when you book so the crew arrives ready.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the job, and we clean gutters and downspouts in the same visit. What we find gets photographed and reported, including any leak, a pulled hanger or a cracked scupper.
After a storm we usually find leaves and grit packed in the downspouts and runs pulled off their hangers. Across South Carolina, hurricanes and tropical remnants bring the rain that makes a gutter overflow onto the siding. We photograph every run and report what we find, so you know what needs attention before the next rain.
Yes. We invoice per building and set up a recurring schedule for several properties on one calendar. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the roofline and we will put the schedule in writing.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
