We quote commercial gutter work in Sioux Falls per building, priced from the footprint and height of each roof, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job and a photo report when we leave. Our crew is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. We run spring and fall visits for office, retail and multifamily buildings across the city, and we work the way property managers and facilities leads need: one contact for every building, a date confirmed in writing.
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 requires, compacted debris on a system nobody has cleaned in years, gutter guards or other gutter protection that has to be lifted before we can reach the trough, 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 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. Our Sioux Falls property work includes an office site where the quote came down to the number of buildings and the roof type, not the square footage. To quote a Sioux Falls property we need the address or a site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and the name of the party the invoice goes to. The gutter cleaning service stays the same whether you call once or book a schedule, and a clog found on arrival is photographed and noted before we start, so the scope is clear in writing. A thorough cleaning costs more where the system shows overflow staining, and a thorough gutter cleaning on a building with internal drains takes longer than a single run. The surrounding areas around a building are part of what we check for water damage, and a clean system helps protect your home or business from it. Siding streaked below an overflow is noted in the report, not cleaned as part of the gutter scope.
| Per building | |
|---|---|
| Standard, one to two stories | from $150 |
| Oversized box or industrial gutters | from $280 |
| Three stories and up, with a lift | from $375 |
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 Sioux Falls properties we service, whether a home or business, are on twice a year, spring and late fall, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees on quarterly. The cleaning services we run on those schedules follow the same gutter cleaning process each visit, so the report from one visit is comparable to the next. Storm season across South Dakota means supercells with large hail and straight-line winds, and the managers who call us after a storm usually find leaf mats and grit packed into the runs. Freeze risk is real here, and a gutter that sags under ice in winter often traces back to debris we would have cleared in the fall. On a flat roof the parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without a sound, and the first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile, a leak at a parapet, or a membrane blister, which is why the monthly check between cleanings is part of our gutter maintenance. Gutter guard systems and a gutter system that was never opened are the two things we find most often on a homeowner's roof that also owns a rental, but on commercial work the cleaning solutions that hold up are the ones matched to the building, and gutter cleaning companies that skip the internal drains miss the problem that matters most. Whatever the property, we run a final inspection before we leave, so the building manager has a record of what was found and what was cleared.
| 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.
Across our Sioux Falls service area, in the business districts and corridors where we have serviced properties, we run professional gutter cleaning services for residential and commercial properties, including commercial buildings like offices, retail centers and multifamily complexes, and we hold the same schedule for each. For a property manager with several buildings, most want one gutter company with one contact for all of them, so we confirm each date in writing and have the crew check in with the on-site contact when they arrive. Work can be timed around tenant hours where asked. Our residential gutter cleaning is done for homeowners and businesses on the same crew, so every home or business we book gets the same report, and the residential gutter side of our schedule runs alongside the commercial one. A landscape of mixed-use properties with trees, parking lots and walkways gets extra attention to debris haul-off so nothing is left under the work. We offer gutter cleaning and maintenance on a schedule that tracks your gutter cleaning needs across the year, and we provide gutter cleaning on a per-building basis so each invoice matches the buildings it covers. Where a blockage or water damage has already started, the crew flags it in the report instead of quoting a repair. To book a date, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline.
We price it per building, and the number depends on the linear footage, the height of the roof and the gutter type. We do not give a figure on the phone without measuring the site, and the quote comes in writing for each building.
The lease decides. The maintenance clause sets who carries exterior upkeep, and the section above lays out the three lease types. We are not giving legal advice here; if the clause is unclear, read it or ask the attorney who drafted it, and we will invoice whichever party it names.
On the restaurants and flat-roof buildings we service, quarterly is what keeps the internal drains and scuppers clear. Left longer, a clogged gutter on a flat roof is what tends to cause roof leaks inside the building.
Yes. Above three stories we work from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection, and the lift is matched to the building before the visit is scheduled. Ask any gutter cleaners you are comparing how they reach the roofline.
Yes. We time the work around tenant hours where asked, and we check in with the on-site contact when we arrive so access is clear before the crew sets up.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the scope, and we photograph anything else we find on the roof and put it in the report.
After a storm the calls we take are usually for leaf mats and grit packed into the runs, and the crew clears them and reports what was found. Storm season here brings large hail and straight-line winds, so post-storm visits are common.
Yes. We invoice per building, so each property owner or board sees the buildings they are responsible for, and the same setup works for commercial and residential properties alike. We set up a recurring schedule across several properties under one contact. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline to start.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
