We quote commercial gutter work per building in Richardson, priced from each building's footprint and height, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job and a photo report when we leave. The crew doing the work is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Across Texas we keep the same routine every spring and late fall, and every building gets the same check whether it is one office or a multi-building site.
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. On commercial properties, stories count for more than anything else on the sheet: above three stories the building needs a boom or scissor lift and fall-protection setup, and that changes the crew's time on site. Compacted debris on a system nobody has cleaned in years takes longer than a light seasonal load. A clog at the bottom of a downspout adds time too, because the crew clears it by hand. Gutter guard systems or other gutter protection have to be lifted and reseated before the clean, oversized or box gutters take more linear footage per hour, and flat roofs with roof drains and scuppers need those cleared as well. A thorough cleaning means every run, not just the first ten feet, and thorough gutter cleaning on a multi-run building takes longer than a quick sweep. The gutter system on a flat roof is not the same job as a pitched one, and the quote shows the difference. A gutter cleaning service priced on footage alone gets the building wrong. A multi-building site is quoted per building, so the invoice matches what was done at each address.
Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras. Overflow that runs down the siding and soaks the soffits gets photographed and noted in the report. A recurring plan costs less per visit than a one-off call, and the cadence is laid out in the plan section below. Some gutter companies quote by the foot alone, but we quote the building, because stories and gutter type change the time on site. Keeping clean gutters on schedule is how you protect your home or business from water damage that starts in a blocked run, and a run cleared on schedule rarely turns into a repair bill.
On a commercial building, the number of stories and the internal drains decide the lift and the time, and the photo report shows what was found in each run. The same inputs decide the quote on commercial and residential properties alike: what the property is, how high it stands, and what is sitting in the gutters. Richardson and the surrounding areas sit inside our service area, and a building outside that line gets a written answer before anyone drives out. For a Richardson quote we need the address or site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings, and who the invoice goes to, and we put the number in writing from those details. Call (866) 435-6328 or book a date to start.
| 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 Richardson properties we service are on twice a year, spring and late fall, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees on a quarterly schedule. Across Texas, spring visits run late March to April, and in Richardson the fall visit lands late November to December. Richardson gets 40.1 inches of rain a year, with May, June and October the wettest months, and freeze risk is real here, so the fall visit goes in after the leaves are down. Gulf hurricanes and tropical storms across Texas are the season when post-storm inspections turn up the most debris and the most downspouts pushed out of their brackets. Gutter cleaning companies often treat every roof the same, but our cleaning services keep the cadence matched to the property type, and the cleaning process does not change from a restaurant to an office. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline to get the next visit on the calendar.
On a flat roof the parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without any sound. A blockage at a roof drain is usually the start, and standing water from it can cause roof leaks before anyone sees a stain. The first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists. Cleaning solutions will not clear a blockage. It has to come out by hand or vacuum, and the strainer dome gets reseated. Gutter maintenance between visits is that monthly check, and anything it finds goes into the photo report. What we pull out of a restaurant gutter at each quarterly visit is grease-bound leaf mat and food debris that a standard building never sees.
| 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 run professional gutter cleaning services across the business corridors of Richardson on commercial properties, and we handle multi-building portfolios under one contact. We provide gutter cleaning on a fixed schedule or as a one-off call, and we also offer gutter cleaning for a single building that is not on a plan. A property manager gets one schedule for every building, a date confirmed in writing, and a crew that checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. The gutter cleaning process runs the same way on every building: site plan, lift or tie-off, clear, photograph. We time the work around tenant hours when asked and keep the site clear while the boom or scissor lift is up. A final inspection of every run closes each visit, and the photo report goes out after it, so the manager has the same record for every building. Send the address and stories for any building's gutter cleaning needs, and the reply comes in writing. Call (866) 435-6328 to book a date.
Our residential gutter work covers homeowners and businesses across the metro, and we also do residential gutter cleaning when a building owner needs a house cleaned. The crew cleans residential and commercial buildings to the same standard, and a homeowner gets the same photo report a property manager does. Gutter cleaners who price only by the foot tend to skip roof drains and scuppers, so we quote the whole building. For commercial clients, the same crew handles landscape-level debris, water damage checks from clogged runs, and the full gutter cleaning and maintenance cycle, so the scope stays consistent from one building to the next.
We price per building, from the linear footage, the height and the gutter type, and the number goes in writing before we are dispatched. The inputs are the same whether a property manager thinks in feet or in buildings, so each building gets its own line on the invoice.
The lease decides, not us. Read the maintenance clause in your lease, and see the lease section on this page for how responsibility usually splits by lease type. This is not legal advice, and when the clause is unclear, the attorney who drafted it can answer.
On the Richardson properties we service, restaurants and flat roofs with internal drains go on a quarterly schedule. The grease and debris in a restaurant gutter and the backing-up of internal drains on a flat roof are what drive that cycle.
Yes. Above three stories we work from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection in place, and the lift is matched to the building. The height is confirmed on the site plan before the quote goes out.
Yes. We schedule around tenant hours when asked, check in with the on-site contact on arrival, and keep access routes clear. Tell us the access rules when you book so the crew arrives ready.
Both. On flat roofs we clear roof drains and scuppers of debris and reseat the strainer domes, along with the gutters and downspouts. A clogged gutter on a flat roof is the usual route to a leak, so the drains get checked on every visit. Anything else we find is photographed and noted in the report.
After a storm across Texas, the post-storm call-outs turn up debris in the runs and downspouts pulled out of their brackets. We photograph each one and report it, and clearing the debris is scheduled as a separate visit when you need it.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice, and a recurring schedule for several properties runs under one contact, so one gutter company handles the whole portfolio. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will set up the schedule and send the written estimate.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
