We quote commercial gutter cleaning per building in Chattanooga, priced from the footprint and the height of each roofline, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job. Our crew does this work on a schedule, not as a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Across Tennessee we clean office, retail and multifamily buildings, usually booked for spring and late fall.
Quoted per building from footage, height and gutter type, in writing, before anyone is dispatched. Scheduled service costs less than a call-out.
Every gutter cleaning service we quote is priced per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. Height is the biggest factor. Above three stories we run a boom or scissor lift, and the setup changes the job and the quote. A clog of compacted debris on a system that has not been cleaned in years takes longer to clear than a light seasonal load, and a thorough cleaning is priced for that time. Overflow from a blocked run tends to show up on the siding below it first, so the crew checks that wall on the same visit. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Oversized and box gutters take more time per foot, and roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs are priced as their own line. The number of buildings on one site also changes the schedule and the setup cost, so we quote the whole property together.
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 and the footage is already measured.
Our Chattanooga jobs follow the same logic. For a commercial property, what sets the quote is the property type, the stories, the roof type and the number of buildings, along with what the crew found on the first visit. To quote a Chattanooga property we need the address or a site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings, and the name of the party the invoice goes to. That is enough for us to write a per-building number and send it to you before the schedule is set. Calls to (866) 435-6328 or a text of the roofline photo both get us started on 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 Chattanooga properties we service are on twice a year, spring and late fall, while restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees go on quarterly. The cleaning services we run for these properties follow the same gutter cleaning process each time, and the gutter system is checked against the last visit so the schedule matches the load. Restaurants fill the gutters with grease-laden grime faster than any other property we see, so those sites get the quarterly plan rather than twice a year. Flat roofs with internal drains back up silently: parapets and scuppers fill, and the first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister. That is why the monthly check between cleanings exists on those roofs. Where a gutter guard sits over the run, the crew lifts it, clears underneath, and reseats it on the same visit.
After a storm, the post-storm inspections turn up the most. Spring supercells, hail and tornadoes across Tennessee bring down limbs and pull hangers, and the managers who call us after a storm usually want the runs checked before the next rain. Leaf and pollen loads peak in the months after the first freeze, when the wet leaf mat is the most common blockage we clear. Trees over the building and the landscape beds beside the downspouts add to that load.
We run the same cleaning solutions on residential and commercial properties, adjusted for the roof and the lift each job needs. A commercial building with a standard gutter run and no tree cover goes on twice a year. A restaurant or a flat roof gets the quarterly plan, and the crew walks each building on the same route so the final inspection is the same on every visit. Clearing the runs on time is how you protect your home or business from water damage. Set the gutter maintenance schedule once, and review it after each storm.
| 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 Chattanooga, with an office park, a retail corridor and a multifamily complex all on the same schedule if you manage them together. Our professional gutter cleaning services follow one plan for every building on the site, so a property manager has one contact for the whole portfolio. We confirm each date in writing, and the crew checks in with the on-site contact when we arrive and works around tenant hours when asked. Lead time depends on the season and the number of buildings, and we give it in the quote. Properties in the surrounding areas can ask us about a quote, and we will say whether the address falls in our service area. If you are comparing gutter cleaning companies, the question to ask each one is the same: what is the number per building, in writing?
We also do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners, and the same gutter cleaning and maintenance schedule works for homeowners and businesses who want the same crew. A homeowner with one building gets the same written quote as a portfolio manager. We run the same plan for commercial and residential properties, with the lift matched to each roof. Where a commercial roof has a blockage we find during a visit, we photograph it and report it, and we do not sell the repair. Gutter protection is a separate question, and if you want it priced, we quote it apart from the cleaning. Our service covers the gutter cleaning needs of a multi-site portfolio from one scheduling desk, and we offer gutter cleaning on a single building or on a full site. 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 and the gutter type. When you line up gutter cleaners for your commercial buildings, ask for the stories and the lift to be spelled out in the quote. We send the quote in writing before any crew is dispatched, so you see the number for each building before you commit.
The lease decides, so read the maintenance clause in yours. We write the invoice to whichever party the lease names, and this is not legal advice; the attorney who drafted your lease can confirm it.
On the restaurants and flat roofs we service, we are on a quarterly schedule with a monthly check between cleanings. Grease and internal drains back up faster than a standard gutter run, which is why those buildings are on the shorter plan. A backed-up drain can cause roof leaks, and the monthly check is the easiest way to catch a leak early.
Yes. Above three stories we work from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection in place, and we bring whatever lift the roofline needs. A thorough gutter cleaning at that height takes the crew longer than a ground-level job, so the quote reflects it. Send the stories and a photo of the roofline and we will confirm the setup before the quote.
Yes. We schedule around tenant hours when asked, check in with the on-site contact on arrival, and follow the access rules for the property. Tell us the hours and the gate or badge process when you book.
We clear both. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs are priced as their own line in the quote, and we clear the debris and reseat the strainer domes so water can leave the roof.
After spring storms with hail or tornadoes, the call-outs most often turn up pulled hangers, limbs and packed runs. A clogged gutter that has held water for days is the one most likely to spill over onto the wall below. We photograph each run, report what we find, and schedule the crew to clean gutters before the next rain.
Yes. We invoice per building, with the linear footage shown, and set up one recurring schedule for every property you manage. If another gutter company cleaned the building last, send us their invoice so we can see the footage they billed. Call (866) 435-6328 or ask for a written estimate to get the schedule started.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
