We quote commercial gutter and downspout work in Bartlett per building, priced 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 ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job squeezed in between re-roofs. We run spring and fall visits for office, retail and multifamily properties across Tennessee, and we book them as the seasons turn.
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 the 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. Every quote is built the same way, so the number you get is the number you pay. Each quote covers a thorough cleaning of every run, and the thorough gutter cleaning on a building includes its downspouts. Buildings inside our service area, and in the surrounding areas, get the same written quote, and every one of our commercial properties is priced from its own footprint.
What moves the quote is what we actually run into on properties. Height above three stories means a boom or scissor lift and a fall-protection setup, and that adds time to the job. A system that has not been cleaned in years holds compacted debris that takes longer to clear and flush. A clog at a downspout elbow, or a clogged gutter that has been holding water for a season, adds time too, and water left in the run can overflow the back edge onto the siding below. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the gutter underneath can be reached. Oversized box gutters and industrial gutters take more handling per run. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs need to be cleared as well, and the number of buildings on one site changes how the crew is scheduled. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras. Gutter protection work is quoted on its own. 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 measured.
On commercial work we want the same details every time: the property address or a site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings, and who the invoice should go to. Send those and we can put a Bartlett quote in writing. On a flat-roof building with internal drains, the drains are usually the bulk of the job, so the quote is built around clearing them before the gutters. For the properties we service in Bartlett, the scope is set by what the building needs and the price follows from it. To protect your home or business from water at the foundation, call (866) 435-6328 and we will 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.
Most Bartlett properties we service are on twice a year, in spring and late fall, while restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees go on quarterly. The cleaning services follow the same pattern for residential and commercial buildings alike: what comes out of the gutters tells us how often a building needs the gutter cleaning process.
The spring visit, which falls in mid to late May across Tennessee, clears the seed and pollen that packs the downspout elbows, and the fall visit, which runs November to early December in Bartlett, clears the wet leaf mat before the cold sets in. Storm season across Tennessee is spring, with spring supercells, hail and tornadoes bringing debris down in a single afternoon, and the managers who call us after a storm usually want the gutters checked before the next rain. Heavy freeze risk in the cold months means a clogged gutter in late fall can sag under ice and leak at the joints, so the fall visit is the one we push hardest for properties that skip it.
Flat roofs are where the schedule matters most. Parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without any sound, and the first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister. Cleaning solutions for a flat roof mean clearing the drains and scuppers, not only the gutter run, and every visit ends with a final inspection of those drains before the crew leaves. That is why the monthly check between cleanings exists on the flat-roof buildings we keep on a schedule. A gutter guard may slow the leaf load, but it does not stop grit and seed from packing the back of the run, so a guarded system still gets the same cleaning services on the calendar.
We keep a homeowner-scale schedule for houses, but this page is about commercial work, and the principle is the same for every home or business: a gutter system is cleaned on the interval its debris load sets, not on a fixed guess. Whether you use gutter cleaning companies or a crew on contract, the interval should come from the debris, not the calendar alone. A commercial property with a single run of gutter and a clear lot can stay on the twice-a-year interval, and a restaurant on a busy street belongs on quarterly. Good gutter cleaners ask what came out of the system last time before they set the next date. We adjust the interval after 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.
We provide gutter cleaning for commercial properties across Bartlett, and our professional gutter cleaning services run from single-building offices to multi-site portfolios. We also take on homeowner jobs, and the residential gutter cleaning follows the same scheduled approach that covers commercial and residential properties alike. For managers with more than one property, the scheduling is built around one contact for every building, and a date is confirmed in writing before the crew leaves the yard.
On arrival, our crew checks in with the on-site contact, walks the building with them, and works around tenant hours where that is asked. If we find a blockage in the run, or water damage on the fascia or soffit, we photograph it and note it on the report. Where a landscape bed sits under a downspout, we keep the debris off the plants. We keep the access notes for each property on file, so the next visit starts from the same plan. For a portfolio that spans several properties, we can group the buildings by route and by roof type, so one crew covers the sites with the least driving and the same lift setup. Gutter cleaning needs change from building to building, so the crew size is set from the portfolio itself. Lead time depends on how many buildings are on the schedule and the season, and it is set when the quote is confirmed.
We do not offer a rush or same-day slot as a promise. We do book a date that fits the building's cleaning needs and the crew's calendar, and we confirm it in writing. If a property needs gutter cleaning and maintenance on a different timeline from the rest of the portfolio, we set that property on its own interval rather than forcing it onto the group schedule. To set the first date, call (866) 435-6328 and we will book it.
We price per building, but the linear footage, the height and the gutter type all feed into that single number. We do not give a rate in the abstract, because two buildings with the same footage can need very different work. The quote comes in writing for each building once we have the site plan or measurement.
Usually, yes, and the maintenance clause is the part to read. Each common lease type places the bill somewhere different, and the section above walks through them. We ask who the invoice goes to up front for that reason. This is not legal advice, so check with the attorney who drafted the lease.
On our Bartlett jobs, restaurants and flat roofs with internal drains go on a quarterly schedule. What comes out of a restaurant gutter every few months is grease, food grit and seed packed hard, and a clogged gutter like that can cause roof leaks at the drain. Regular gutter maintenance keeps a flat roof from backing up silently. We set the interval after the first visit, based on what came out.
Yes. For commercial buildings above three stories, we use a boom or scissor lift with a full fall-protection setup. The lift is matched to the building, and the crew works tied off the entire time. Taller buildings take longer, and that shows up in the quote.
Yes. We schedule around tenant hours where asked, and we follow the site's access rules for gates, parking and the roof hatch. Let us know the rules before the crew arrives, and we will confirm the plan with your on-site contact.
Both. On a flat roof we clear the roof drains and scuppers along with the gutters, and we check that the strainer domes are seated. Where we find a blocked drain that needs more than clearing, we photograph it and report it, and the repair decision stays with you.
After a severe storm the call-outs usually turn up hail-dented runs, debris packed into the downspout elbows, and gutters pulled loose from the fascia. We photograph each run and report what we find before any cleaning starts. Photographing first is how a gutter company keeps water damage behind a loose run on record. Storm season across Tennessee is spring, so that is when these calls come in most.
Yes, we invoice per building, and each building can carry its own invoice line on a recurring schedule. Give us the property list, the invoice contact for each one, and the interval for each building, and we will set up the calendar. You get one contact for the whole portfolio, and each building's history stays on its own record. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the roofline, and we will book a date.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
