We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning in San Antonio per building, priced from 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 spring and fall on the properties we service, and we set the visit dates a season ahead.
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 the commercial gutter cleaning service per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. Once the quote is set, the number holds, so the board or the owner knows the cost before the crew is on the roof, which is what a professional gutter job should look like.
What moves the quote is what we run into on the properties. Height above three stories means a boom or scissor lift and the fall-protection setup that goes with it. A gutter system not cleaned in years means compacted debris, blockage and a clog that takes longer to clear. Gutter guard or gutter protection that has to be lifted and reseated, oversized or box gutters, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and the number of buildings on one site all add time. 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 building and the footage is measured.
Our gutter cleaning process starts with the address or site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who receives the invoice. A multi-building site priced in one written quote with one invoice per building is the most common setup we handle for property managers running commercial properties. Send us those five details and we will return a written estimate with the scope of our cleaning services spelled out line by line. When you compare cleaning solutions, check what each one includes: the flush, the haul-off and the photo report.
Every building gets a thorough cleaning. That is thorough gutter cleaning, not a rinse. We clear the run, flush the downspouts until they run clear, and check the outlet at grade, so the next storm does not overflow the same clogged gutter. Every quote includes that full clean on every building listed, and we do not bill a second visit for water that still runs over after a clean run, because that points to slope, which we report with photos. We protect your home and your roof edge from the water damage that a blocked system sends down the fascia and siding. Call (866) 435-6328 for the written estimate, or text us a photo of the roofline and we will book a date.
| 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 San Antonio properties we service, most buildings 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. Across Texas the pattern is the same, though the storm season sets the timing for the coastal sites. Each address gets its own gutter cleaning and maintenance calendar, set when the visits are booked.
What we find is shaped by the seasons. The Gulf hurricane and tropical storm season is when the post-storm inspections turn up the most displaced hangers and debris packed into the downspouts. The spring pollen load and the fall leaves from nearby landscape are what fill the gutters between visits, and that is what gutter maintenance is for. The cleaning process ends with a final inspection before we leave, so the building manager sees the state of the system on the way out.
Flat roofs deserve a closer look. Parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently, and the first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister. That is why the monthly check between cleanings exists on the flat-roof buildings we service.
A restaurant or food service building is a different job from a standard office. Grease and grit build up in the gutters faster, so we treat the restaurant gutter as a quarterly job from the start. Commercial buildings that lose their cleaning schedule usually show it in the first wet season after the gap. The same spring and fall rhythm works for a residential gutter system on a house and for commercial buildings alike, though the restaurant schedule is set apart. To get on the calendar, call (866) 435-6328, text a photo of the building, or book a date with our office.
| 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 cover commercial and residential properties across San Antonio, including the business districts and corridors where we have serviced buildings, and we work on the surrounding areas for properties that fall within our service area. Whether the site is a single office or a portfolio across several addresses, we treat it as one account with one point of contact, so you have one gutter company to call. Professional gutter cleaning services are priced per building, and the same account covers each one.
Scheduling works the way a property manager needs it. You get one contact for all of your buildings, and each date is confirmed in writing. Tell us your gutter cleaning needs for each address, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival and times the work around tenant hours where that is asked. Lead time depends on the season and the size of the job, so we give you a confirmed date when we book the visit.
We also provide gutter cleaning for each homeowner, and residential gutter cleaning runs on the same paperwork as commercial work. Our commercial work is the focus of this page, and the scheduling and documentation work the same for both. For the landlord, the property manager and the board, the job is the same: a clean system, a photo report and one invoice per building. We offer gutter cleaning for homeowners and businesses on that same basis.
We quote per building, and the number depends on the linear footage, the height and the gutter type. Some gutter cleaners and gutter cleaning companies price per linear foot, and we will show you that math on the written quote so you can compare it. The figure comes in writing for each building before anyone is dispatched.
The lease decides. The lease type sets who carries the cost, and the section above on who pays walks through the three common cases. We write the invoice to whichever party the lease names. This is not legal advice, so check the maintenance clause of your lease or ask the attorney who drafted it.
On the restaurants and flat-roof buildings we service in San Antonio, quarterly is the schedule that keeps the internal drains and scuppers clear. The grease and grit in a restaurant gutter and the silent backup on a flat roof are why we start those buildings on quarterly.
Yes. On commercial properties 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 a confirmed part of the quote, so tell us the stories when you request it.
Yes. We time the work around tenant hours where that is asked, and we check in with the on-site contact on arrival. Tell us the access rules and the hours when you book, and we will plan the crew around them.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of the scope, along with the gutters and downspouts. A blocked scupper that backs up can cause roof leaks, and a leak usually shows first as a stained ceiling tile. Anything we find that is damaged is photographed and reported rather than repaired.
Storms in the Gulf season push debris into the downspouts and can displace hangers. After a severe storm we inspect the system and clear what the storm left behind, then send you the photos. Storm-driven calls are the reason we keep a schedule that catches problems early.
Yes. We invoice per building, so each property gets its own line and its own record, and we set up a recurring schedule across several properties under one contact. A written quote and a single point of contact keep the scheduling simple for a portfolio.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
