We quote commercial gutter cleaning per building in Port Arthur, priced from each building's footprint and height. Fall protection or a boom or scissor lift goes on every job, and you get a photo report of the work afterward. Our crew is scheduled and employed, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. We work on office, retail and multifamily properties across the city, and most of our commercial bookings come in before spring and late fall, when the gutters have had time to fill.
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. The number on the quote is the number on the invoice. If you are comparing a gutter company on price, compare the scope line by line. Many gutter cleaners price by the hour. We don't, and nothing is priced by a guess at the roof. The same per-building method covers every one of our commercial properties, from a single storefront to a multi-building site.
Height is the first thing that moves a quote. Above three stories the crew works from a boom or scissor lift, and that lift and the fall-protection setup around it cost more to run than a ladder job. Gutter condition is the second. A system that has not been cleaned in years packs down into a compacted mat of grit and seed, and a clog at a downspout elbow takes longer to clear than a run that was cleaned last season. A gutter guard that has to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the channel adds time. A clogged run that starts to overflow in a heavy rain can stain the siding below it, and we note it on the report. Oversized, box or industrial gutters hold more debris and take longer to flush. On flat roofs we also clear the roof drains and scuppers, and each one adds to the count. The number of buildings on one site matters too, because the crew can work several roofs in one visit when they are scheduled together.
Thorough gutter cleaning includes downspout flushing and debris haul-off per building, and none of it is billed as an extra. 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.
On our Port Arthur jobs the quote that surprises property managers is usually a building with a tall back run and a lot of compacted debris, where the lift time was the largest line. We put the lift time on the quote as its own line so the owner can see it. To quote a Port Arthur property we need the address or a site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings, and who the invoice goes to. A homeowner who wants to protect your home gets the same written breakdown, and we quote residential and commercial jobs the same way. Every home or business gets its count shown per building, with the invoice split the way the property is managed.
The gutter system on a commercial building is usually longer and more complicated than a house, and the gutter cleaning process that works on a house has to be adjusted for scuppers and internal drains. Our final inspection on each building checks that every run and every downspout flows before the crew leaves. That is what thorough cleaning means to us, and it is the same check whether the job is one building or six. Cleaning solutions for the roof surface itself are quoted separately, on request.
| 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 Port Arthur properties we service are on twice a year, spring and late fall, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover on quarterly. Across Texas the pattern is the same, and Gulf hurricanes and tropical storms are what make the late-fall visit the one that matters most. Our gutter cleaning and maintenance visits follow the building's count, not a flat calendar.
The storm season across the Gulf shows up in our gutters. The post-storm call-outs we get from property managers turn up the same few things every time: a run pulled off its hangers, a downspout knocked loose at the elbow, and a mat of leaves and roofing grit that washed into the channel and set hard. If a building takes a hard blow, the first gutter visit after the storm is usually the one that finds it. Where a building has gutter protection, the guard gets lifted and checked too.
On flat roofs we see the water go the wrong way. Parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently, and the first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, which is how a small leak turns into water damage. A blockage at a scupper or an internal drain is what usually starts it. A blocked scupper can overflow onto the membrane before anyone on the ground sees it. We provide gutter cleaning on these buildings, and our professional gutter cleaning services include the drain and scupper clearing. The monthly check between cleanings is part of our gutter maintenance, and it catches a drain going slow before it leaves a stain.
A restaurant gutter fills faster than a standard office building because of the grease-laden air and the traffic near the building, and that is the building type where quarterly is the right answer. The residential gutter at a house with two floors is the easiest case on the schedule. Landscape near the building changes the number as well. A building with a lawn and a few shrubs is on the standard schedule, and a building with heavy leaf drop from larger trees goes on the tree-cover schedule. Tell us your gutter cleaning needs and the building type, and we match the schedule to it. Call (866) 435-6328 or book a date, and we will tell you which schedule your building fits.
| 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 clean commercial buildings across Port Arthur, and the business corridors and business parks where we have serviced properties are the ones we run most of our schedule through. We offer gutter cleaning for a single building or a whole portfolio. A property manager with several buildings on one site gets one point of contact with us for all of them, a date confirmed in writing, and a crew that checks in with the on-site contact when they arrive. Where tenant hours or loading-dock hours matter, the work is timed around them. Our service area is set by how far a crew can reach on a scheduled day, and the quote confirms the address. Buildings in the surrounding areas get the same written quote and the same scheduled date.
A multi-building portfolio is handled as one account with one invoice per building. We set the cadence for each building separately, so the restaurant gets quarterly and the office building next to it stays on twice a year, and the schedule is printed for the property manager with the building names on it. Because the portfolio is scheduled together, a crew can move from building to building in one visit without a second mobilization.
Lead time depends on the season and the size of the portfolio, and we give the date when we give the quote. Commercial properties on a portfolio schedule are quoted the same way. A clogged gutter that is causing a leak needs a different response than a scheduled semi-annual visit, and we say which one we are dealing with on the first call. A leak that is already dripping into a space is worth a call the same day, because a standing gutter can cause roof leaks that show up on the ceiling below and lead to water damage. We work the same way for our residential gutter cleaning, where the homeowner calls and gets the same written estimate.
For one of the gutter cleaning companies already working a site, we coordinate the handoff so that our crew does not duplicate their work. Commercial and residential properties are both on our schedule, and homeowners and businesses get the same process: the address, the count, the date, and the invoice. Clean gutters on a schedule are cheaper to keep than gutters cleared after a failure, and that is the case we make to every property manager who calls. Call (866) 435-6328 or book a date, and we will confirm the next visit in writing.
The price depends on how the building is laid out, and we quote it per building. Linear footage, the number of stories, the gutter type and the amount of debris all move the number, so we do not give a rate that applies across every property. The number comes to you in writing per building before we are dispatched.
The lease decides, not us, and the section above on who pays walks through the three common lease types. This is general information and not legal advice, so read the maintenance clause of your lease or ask the attorney who drafted it. Tell us who the invoice goes to and we will address it there.
On the restaurants and flat-roof buildings we service, quarterly is the schedule that keeps the drains and scuppers clear. A restaurant gutter fills faster than most, and a flat roof with internal drains can overflow without warning, which is why we add the monthly check between visits.
Yes. Above three stories we work from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection on every job, and we set the lift up to match the building. Tell us the height and your gutter cleaning needs when you request the quote, and we will confirm the lift in writing. If you have a question about your specific roofline, text a photo of the roofline and we will look at it.
Yes. We time the work around tenant hours, loading-dock schedules and any site access rules you give us. The on-site contact is told when the crew arrives, and the crew checks in before it goes up.
We clear the roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the visit, and the strainer domes are reseated afterward. Any problem we find on the roof that is beyond cleaning is photographed and reported, not repaired without your authorization.
The post-storm call-outs we get usually turn up a run pulled off its hangers, a downspout knocked loose from the siding, or a mat of roofing grit washed into the channel. We photograph each one and report it, so you know what the storm did before the crew leaves. Where a building has gutter protection, we check the guard for storm damage too. The Gulf storm season is why we ask managers to call after a hard blow instead of waiting for the next scheduled visit.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice with the linear footage shown, and we set up a recurring schedule for every building in the portfolio at the cadence that building needs. If a building sits in the surrounding areas, send the address and we will confirm in writing whether it falls inside our service area. Call (866) 435-6328 or ask for a written estimate and we will set the schedule and the dates for you.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
