We quote commercial gutter work in Houston per building, from the footprint and the height. Our crew does the work, not a roofer between re-roofs, and every job runs with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on the roof. You get a photo report of each run after we finish. Properties that book us here include offices and multifamily buildings across the city.
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 on its own, and our gutter cleaning service is priced from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement before anyone is dispatched. What moves the number is what we run into on the roof: a building above three stories that needs a boom or scissor lift, debris compacted on a system nobody has cleaned in years, a clogged gutter that has been sending overflow onto the siding, gutter guards or gutter protection that have to be lifted to reach the channel, oversized or box gutters, and roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs. The number of buildings on one site also changes the setup, so a campus quotes differently than a single building. The quote covers a thorough gutter cleaning of the whole building, priced from the footage we measure.
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 property and the footage is measured. A one-off cleaning gets priced as a one-off, with dispatch and setup on top. When you compare gutter cleaning companies, ask every gutter cleaner for the footage and height in writing, so the quotes line up.
On a recent multifamily job in Houston, the quote came down to four buildings, three stories each, flat roofs with internal drains, and a clog at the scuppers that had been building for years. Those details set the quote, and the crew wrote the price before the truck left. For your property, we need the address or a site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who the invoice goes to. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will send a written estimate.
| 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 Houston properties we service are on twice a year, in spring and late fall, while restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover go on quarterly. The schedule follows what the building sends into its gutters, not a fixed calendar. Each visit is a thorough cleaning, and it ends with a final inspection of every run before the crew leaves. After a storm the post-storm call-outs turn up debris and loose hangers, and left alone that debris leads to water damage at the fascia. Houston gets 55.4 inches of rain a year, with June, August and September the wettest months, so the gutters need to be clear before the summer rains. A gutter guard holds back the leaves, but it does not stop the grit that builds up underneath, so the check still matters.
Flat roofs are where the cleaning schedule matters most. Parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without any sign, and the first thing the tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile, a leak or a membrane blister. That is why the monthly check between cleanings exists as part of our gutter maintenance, so a blocked drain gets found before it can cause roof leaks.
Restaurants need the quarterly visit because grease and food debris pack into the system faster than leaves do. Industrial buildings and sites with heavy tree cover follow the same logic, and where grease is the problem we talk through cleaning solutions with the manager before the first visit. The gutter system and the drains tell us which interval fits, and we write that into the schedule so the property manager is not guessing. A standard building on twice a year is the baseline, and a home or business with a flat roof or heavy load moves to quarterly. The same interval logic covers residential and commercial properties, and a homeowner with a flat-roof addition gets the same check. Book the date, tell us your gutter cleaning needs, and we confirm the interval in writing for each building.
| 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 across Houston for commercial properties, and our professional gutter cleaning services are set up for portfolios as well as single buildings. Our service area covers Mayfair, Hobby, Melrose Park, Lakewood Heights, East Houston, Highland Heights and Edgeworth Place, plus the surrounding areas, so a building in any of those neighborhoods gets the same crew. Property managers get one contact for every building on the account, and each date is confirmed in writing before the crew arrives. Our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival, and where tenant hours matter we time the work around them.
A multi-site account is handled as one schedule. Each building is quoted separately, so the invoice shows the linear footage per building, and the photo report comes back per property. That keeps a board or an owner able to check every line. Some accounts mix commercial and residential properties, and the invoice still comes per building. We do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners and businesses across the same area, and clear gutters help protect your home from water running down the fascia, so an HOA with both townhomes and a clubhouse can use one crew for the whole community. A property manager choosing a gutter company for several buildings should look for per-building quotes in writing.
The point of scheduling with us is that the same people come back to the same roofs. The crew knows where the downspouts discharge, which drains back up, and where the blockage tends to form, so the next visit starts from what was found last time. Scheduling gives you gutter cleaning and maintenance on one calendar. On a building set in heavy landscape, the debris load runs higher, so the crew checks the downspout outlets on every visit. Call (866) 435-6328, text a photo of the roofline, or book a date, and we will confirm the crew and the estimate in writing.
We price per building, but the number is built from linear footage, height and gutter type, so both measures are in the quote. Which one you see depends on the property. The gutter cleaning process starts with that measurement, and the figure comes to you in writing for each building before anyone is dispatched.
The lease decides it, not us. The maintenance clause sets whether the tenant or the landlord carries the cost, and the lease types are laid out above. This is not legal advice, so read the clause or ask the attorney who drafted it. We send the invoice to whichever party the lease names.
On the restaurants and flat roofs we service, quarterly is what keeps the drains clear. Grease and food debris build up faster than leaves, and a flat roof backs up silently. Once a building is on a schedule, the crew confirms the interval after the first visit.
Yes. Tall commercial buildings get a lift sized to the roofline, with fall protection on every run. Tell us the stories and the roof type when you request the quote, and we will confirm the lift in the written estimate.
Yes. We time the work around tenant hours when asked and check in with the on-site contact on arrival. If the building has access rules, send them with the request so the crew knows what to expect before the truck pulls in.
Both. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs are cleared of debris, and the strainer domes are reseated. Below-grade drain lines are cleared on request and quoted separately, so the number reflects what you ask for.
After a storm the post-storm call-outs turn up loose hangers, debris packed into the downspouts and drains that back up. We clear the gutters, flush the downspouts and photograph anything that needs repair. Call (866) 435-6328 after the storm and we will schedule the crew.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice with the linear footage shown, and a recurring schedule covers the whole portfolio on one calendar. Text a photo of the roofline or ask for a written estimate, and we will set up the dates.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
