We quote each commercial building in DeSoto on its footprint and height, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job and a photo report after. Our crew is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. We work on office, retail and multifamily buildings across the spring and fall visits.
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 building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. A gutter cleaning service quote is only as good as the measurement behind it, so we ask for the address and stories first. A thorough gutter cleaning, with every downspout flushed and every drain checked, is quoted per building.
What moves the number on our jobs is height above three stories and the boom or scissor lift it requires under fall-protection rules. Compacted debris in a gutter system not cleaned in years takes longer, and so does gutter protection such as a gutter guard that must be lifted and reseated. Oversized or box gutters, and roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, take longer too. The number of buildings on one site matters as well. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras, and scheduled semi-annual or quarterly service is priced lower than a one-off call.
On the properties we service, a clog that the crew clears in one visit is usually a sign the downspout outlet was never checked, and an overflow along a parapet often points to slope rather than debris. We write both findings into the report. A clogged gutter with a dry downspout points to a different problem than one with standing water, and we note which in the report. Our crew checks the surrounding areas of each building, including the splash blocks and any siding where runoff has been running, so water leaves the site instead of pooling against the foundation. That is how we help protect your home or business from water damage, not only the gutter run itself.
Because we clean the same buildings on a schedule, the crew knows each site before it goes up the lift. For a commercial property that means fewer surprises and a quote that holds when the work is done. Our figure covers a thorough cleaning of every run and downspout on that building. We do not use one flat rate across every building, because a single-story retail strip and a four-story multifamily building carry different risk on the ladder or lift.
To get a number for your property, send the address or a site plan, the stories, the roof type and the number of buildings, and tell us who the invoice goes to. We confirm the property falls inside our service area before we quote anything. The pricing for each building is then set on its own measurements, and the written estimate follows. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline, and we will confirm a date once the number is agreed.
| 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 DeSoto properties we service, most are on twice a year, spring and late fall, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover on quarterly. Our schedule for each property comes from what we pull out of its gutters on the first visit.
Across the spring and fall visits we look at the storm season and what the post-storm inspections turn up, the month the leaves or pollen load the gutters, and the freeze risk on the roof. The managers who call us after a storm usually have debris packed at the downspout outlets and grit sitting behind the fascia, which is the first thing our crew clears.
On flat roofs, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently. The first thing the tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists. A blocked drain left through a wet season can cause roof leaks, and a leak at a seam is often the first sign of trouble. A flat roof with internal drains is one of the properties where the cleaning schedule matters most.
Our crew is the same on each visit, so the gutter cleaning process stays consistent from one season to the next. We do not run a generic set of cleaning solutions on every building, and a final inspection before we leave confirms each run and drain is clear. Gutter cleaners on our crews check the same points every time, which makes a quarterly or semi-annual schedule easy to keep. If you are comparing gutter cleaning companies, ask whether the downspout outlets get checked, because that is where most clogs start.
| 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 professional gutter cleaning for commercial properties across DeSoto, with one contact for every building in a portfolio. Whether it is one building or a whole portfolio, we provide gutter cleaning on the same terms. A date is confirmed in writing, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact when they arrive. Work can be timed around tenant hours where asked, so the building keeps running while the crew is on the ladder or lift. Our crew also checks the planting beds under the downspouts, since washout there means water is not leaving the site.
A property manager with several sites gets one invoice per building, with the linear footage shown, so the board or owner can check it. The same invoicing applies to commercial and residential properties, so a mixed portfolio goes on one account. We offer gutter cleaning and maintenance on a recurring schedule, which keeps the gutter cleaning needs of each site on one calendar instead of spread across separate calls. Between visits, a photo of each gutter run sent by the property manager is the easiest form of gutter maintenance we know. One gutter company on one calendar is simpler than a different contractor for each site.
We also do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners and businesses, so a property manager who runs both a commercial building and a house can book them with the same crew. The crew runs residential and commercial jobs side by side, with the same checks on each. Our professional gutter cleaning services are the same whether the building is a strip center or a single-family home, and the blockage we clear from a downspout is handled the same way on either. If you are a homeowner with a single house, you get the same crew and the same checks on every downspout.
We quote per building, but the number for commercial buildings depends on linear footage, height and gutter type, so we work out each one from those. You get the number in writing before we are dispatched. We do not give a figure over the phone for a building we have not measured.
The lease decides, so read the maintenance clause and see the section above for how each lease type reads. We invoice whichever party the lease names, which keeps the property manager out of the middle. This is not legal advice; ask the attorney who drafted the lease.
On the restaurants and flat roofs we service in DeSoto, we clean quarterly, because grease and debris build faster and internal drains back up without warning. A monthly check between cleanings catches a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister early. We set the schedule after the first visit.
Yes. Above three stories we work from a boom or scissor lift, matched to the building, with fall protection on every job. Send the stories and the roof type and we will tell you what setup the building needs.
Yes. We time the work around tenant hours where asked and check in with the on-site contact on arrival. Tell us the access rules when you book so the crew arrives ready.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the visit, along with the gutter runs and downspouts. Anything we find that needs repair is photographed and reported, not fixed on the spot.
After a storm our call-outs usually turn up debris packed at the downspout outlets and grit behind the fascia, sometimes with a blocked scupper on a flat roof. The crew clears what is there and photographs the rest for your report. Book a date and we will confirm it in writing.
Yes. We invoice per building with the linear footage shown and set up a recurring schedule across several properties under one contact. Text a photo of the roofline or call (866) 435-6328 and ask for a written estimate to get started.
