We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building in Johnson City, priced from each building's footprint and height. Every job gets 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. We do this work full time, not as a roofer's side job between re-roofs.
Across Tennessee, property managers book us in spring and late fall, when the seed, pollen and leaf loads build up in the gutters.
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 each commercial building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. Our gutter cleaning service is priced from the building itself, and the same method covers a home or business, residential and commercial alike.
Height is the biggest single factor on our jobs. Above three stories we bring a boom or scissor lift and set fall protection before anyone leaves the ground, and that setup changes the quote. A clog at one elbow can hold back a whole run, so the time to clear it goes into the number. Compacted debris in a gutter system nobody has cleaned in years takes longer to clear and haul. A gutter guard has to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the runs underneath. Oversized box gutters and industrial gutters take more time per linear foot than standard profiles. Siding near the gutter line is protected while we work, and that protection is part of the quote. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs add their own time, and the number of buildings on one site spreads the setup across the whole job.
Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building. We do not bill them as extras. Scheduled semi-annual or quarterly service is priced lower than a one-off call, because we already know the building and the dates are set. When you compare gutter cleaning companies or gutter cleaners, ask whether the quote covers height and access, since a per-foot number alone does not. Any cleaning solutions for grease or algae are listed on the quote before the work starts, and every job ends with a final inspection of each run and drain. A thorough gutter cleaning covers every run on the building, not only the ones visible from the lot. To get a quote in writing, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the building with its number of stories.
On a property we service, the quote came from a multi-building office site with a three-story roof and a flat section that drains internally. The site had two buildings, one lift day, and a written estimate before the crew arrived, with the details in the case linked below. For a quote on your building 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 should go to.
| 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.
On the Johnson City properties we service, most are on twice a year, spring and late fall, and the restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover go on quarterly. The spring visit runs mid to late May across Tennessee, and the fall visit runs late October to November.
Here is what we find after storms and in the months the gutters fill fastest. The post-storm call-outs turn up displaced hangers, sections pulled from the fascia and downspouts packed with debris that the wind drove in. Leaves and pollen load the runs through the cleaning seasons, and the buildup is heaviest where the cleaning services were skipped for a year. A blockage at the foot of a downspout backs water up the whole run, and that is usually where the trouble starts. The wettest months here are May, June and July, so the gutters carry their heaviest load just as the spring visit comes due.
Flat roofs behave differently from pitched ones. Parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without a sound, 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, so the drain is open before the water finds the ceiling.
A restaurant gutter shows the pattern clearly. Grease and dust bind with the leaf debris, and what we pull out of one every second month would fill a bag twice that size after a year of skipped visits. Each homeowner or business owner who puts the schedule on paper finds the same thing: the gutter cleaning process is faster and cheaper per visit when it runs on a fixed calendar, and the water damage costs stay off the books. We run a fixed calendar for both homeowners and businesses, sized to the property, and we set the dates a season ahead so the gutter cleaning needs are planned before the buildup starts. We provide gutter cleaning on that schedule, and the schedule is what keeps a blockage from turning into water damage. To book a date, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline, and we confirm the visit in writing.
| 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 do professional gutter cleaning for commercial and residential properties across the Johnson City business districts and corridors where we have already serviced buildings, and we cover the surrounding areas for the same work. Our service area covers Johnson City and the nearby towns we already serve. We also do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners, but this page is about commercial buildings.
For a property manager with several buildings, the scheduling runs through one contact. You confirm the date in writing, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact when we arrive. Where you want the work timed around tenant hours, we plan it that way. Gutter cleaning and maintenance across a portfolio is easier when one company keeps the dates, the footage and the photo reports together, and that is how we run a multi-site account. To book a date for any building, text a photo of it to us.
We are a gutter company that does this work with its own crews, so the schedule stays with the people on the ladder rather than passing through a dispatcher. Our crew's work includes a thorough cleaning of each run, and leaf debris blown in from the landscape beside the building gets cleared too. Clean gutters are only part of the gutter maintenance job; a gutter left blocked long enough can cause roof leaks that show up on the top floor first.
We price it per building, and the number depends on linear footage, height and gutter type. Per linear foot is how we measure the work, but the quote comes to you as one figure per building, in writing, before we are dispatched.
The lease decides, not state law. Read the maintenance clause in your lease, and the section above shows how the common lease types usually divide it. This is not legal advice, so ask the attorney who drafted the lease if the clause is unclear.
Quarterly is what we find on those properties, because grease and debris bind in restaurant gutters, and a clogged gutter on a flat roof can overflow without warning. Between cleanings we check the drains monthly, so the water is moving before it finds a ceiling leak.
Yes. Above three stories we bring a boom or scissor lift and set fall protection before the crew works, and the lift is matched to the building. Tell us the height and the lift is part of the written quote.
Yes. We schedule around tenant hours and follow the access rules your site sets, and we check in with the on-site contact when we arrive. Tell us the window and the rules when you book.
Both. Roof drains and scuppers are cleared with the gutters on flat roofs, because a blocked drain is the one that causes the leaks. You get a photo of each drain in the report.
Spring supercells, hail and tornadoes across Tennessee pull hangers from the fascia and pack downspouts with debris. We photograph what we find, clear the blocked runs to protect your home, and note anything structural for you to decide on. Gutter protection such as guards is a separate job and is not part of the cleaning.
Yes. We offer gutter cleaning on a recurring schedule for all your commercial properties under one contact, invoice each building separately with the footage shown, and confirm the dates in writing a season ahead. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a text with the building list to start it.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
