We quote commercial gutter cleaning in Nashville per building, priced from the footprint and height of each one. Fall protection or a boom or scissor lift goes on every job, and you get a photo report of every run once we are down. Our crew is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Most of the work we take on is for offices, retail and multifamily buildings that book in spring and late fall, and we keep the same crew on the same site so the property manager does not have to explain the building twice.
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 cleaning 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 largest single factor: above three stories the job needs a boom or scissor lift and the fall-protection setup that goes with it. A clogged gutter full of compacted debris on a system nobody has cleaned in years takes longer to clear, any gutter protection or gutter guard has to be lifted before the run can be reached, and oversized or box gutters cost more hours per foot than standard ones. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs add their own time, and the number of buildings on one site changes how we stage the work.
A thorough gutter cleaning service includes downspout flushing and debris haul-off per building, and neither is billed as an extra. Gutter cleaning and maintenance on a fixed schedule is priced lower than a one-off call, because the crew already knows the building and the footage is measured. A blockage at a roof drain can cause roof leaks, and a leak found after the fact costs more than the cleaning, so that drain is priced as its own line. Our commercial properties in the Nashville service area and surrounding areas range from single-story retail strips to multi-building office campuses, and each one gets its own quote so the invoice matches the building it describes.
To give you a concrete example of what sets a quote: one recent Nashville multifamily property with four buildings and a flat roof on the tallest one needed a lift for only one of the four, so the quote was split by building rather than by site. The lift-dependent building was priced separately, and the invoice showed the linear footage and the debris removed for each, which is what a thorough cleaning looks like on paper. Call (866) 435-6328 or send us the address or a site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who the invoice goes to, and we will write the quote from that.
| 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 Nashville properties we service, most are on twice a year, spring and late fall, while restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover are on quarterly. Nashville's wettest months, February, April and May, are when downspouts back up with grit and leaf mat, so the managers who call us after a storm usually find that the gutters held up, but the downspouts and scuppers had already started backing up before the rain came. Clean gutters at ground level can hide a blocked downspout, which is why cleaning services and gutter maintenance scheduled around that pattern catch the problem before the tenant sees it.
Flat roofs are where the gutter cleaning process matters most, because parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently. The first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile, a membrane blister or a drip that reads as a ceiling leak, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists. A restaurant gutter is a different kind of job: what we pull out of one every second month is grease-bound debris that a standard maintenance visit would miss, and the cleaning solutions for it are chosen for the grease, not the leaves.
The homeowner contrast is simple. A single-family house usually gets one visit a year, which is a simple way to protect your home, but commercial buildings with a full gutter system and several downspouts run on a schedule set by their use, their roof and their tree load. We set that schedule per building and confirm it in writing, so the property manager is not guessing at the next date. Ask us to walk the site and we will tell you which category each building falls into and why.
| 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 offer gutter cleaning across the Nashville area for homeowners and businesses, and we have serviced business districts, corridors and business parks in the city where the property type and access fit the job. For a portfolio spread across several sites, we run professional gutter cleaning services as one contract with one contact, one invoice per building and one written date for each site, and that is the first thing to ask any gutter company you compare, us included. Our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival, and we time the work around tenant hours where that is asked for.
We cover residential gutter cleaning as well, since many commercial and residential properties share the same management, and we provide gutter cleaning for the odd multi-property request that mixes residential and commercial sites, though the commercial side is where our scheduling is built around the property manager. A landscape crew or a property team handling outdoor work can book a gutter visit in the same week, and we will coordinate timing so the ground work and the siding below the eaves are not spoiled by water damage from a clogged gutter that overflows, which is also why our clients keep visits on a fixed calendar.
Our crew can also handle a single home or business alongside the scheduled work, including one-off cleanings, with the same gutter cleaners who run the portfolio. Lead time depends on the season and the number of buildings, and we will give you a date in writing rather than promising a particular day. Each visit ends with a final inspection of every run and drain. If you manage several sites, send us the list and tell us your gutter cleaning needs, and we will say how we would group them for the first visit.
We quote per building, and the number depends on the building's linear footage, height, gutter type and how much debris has built up. You get the figure in writing per building before we are dispatched. When you compare gutter cleaning companies, ask for the price per building in writing, whichever gutter company you pick.
The lease decides, and the section above on who pays shows how the common lease types usually read. This is not legal advice, so check the maintenance clause of your lease or ask the attorney who drafted it.
On the flat-roof and restaurant properties we service, quarterly is the schedule that keeps internal drains and scuppers clear. Those buildings also get a monthly check between cleanings, because a backed-up drain can cause roof leaks, and a leak usually shows first as a stain on the ceiling below.
Yes. Above three stories we work from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection in place, and we match the lift to the roofline. Height is one of the factors in the quote, so tell us the stories when you request it.
Yes, we schedule around tenant hours and on-site access rules where those are set. Our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival, and the timing is confirmed in writing before the visit. Where a roof needs cleaning solutions rather than debris removal alone, we say so in the written quote.
We clear the roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs along with the gutters, and if a drain is damaged or a scupper is cracked we photograph it, report it and leave the repair decision to you.
After a severe storm the post-storm call-outs usually turn up debris pushed into downspouts and grit washed onto flat roofs, so the first priority is clearing any clogged gutter or downspout blockage before water backs up behind the fascia. Ask us to run a final inspection after a storm and we will send photos of every run, so you can see clean gutters where we have finished and anything we flagged.
Yes, we invoice per building and set up recurring schedules for multiple properties under one contract, covering gutter cleaning and maintenance across every site. Each invoice shows the building, the footage and the date, and the schedule is confirmed in writing before the first visit. Call (866) 435-6328, text us a photo of the roofline, or book a date and we will write back with the window.
