We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building, 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 every run when we finish.
Our crew is scheduled and employed, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Call (866) 435-6328 or book a date, and send us the address, stories and number of buildings for a written quote.
Across Texas, spring visits run late March to April, and Gulf hurricanes and tropical storms load commercial rooflines with debris. Regular cleaning helps protect your home or business.
Quoted per building from footage, height and gutter type, in writing, before anyone is dispatched. Scheduled service costs less than a call-out.
Our gutter cleaning service is quoted per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched.
What moves the quote on our jobs is height. Anything above three stories needs a boom or scissor lift and the fall-protection setup that goes with it. A gutter system that has not been cleaned in years holds compacted debris, and a clog or blockage in one downspout can make the gutter overflow and back water down the siding. Each gutter guard that has to be lifted and reseated adds time, and oversized or box gutters need more linear footage of work per run. Thorough cleaning of a neglected system takes longer than a light seasonal load. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs are scoped separately from the gutter runs, and the number of buildings on one site lowers the cost per building when they are done in one visit.
Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras. Gutter protection products such as guards are scoped separately from cleaning. 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. Some gutter cleaning companies quote by the foot alone, while a building's stories and footprint set the lift and crew size, so ask any gutter company for a written quote per building. Thorough gutter cleaning, not a visual check from the parking lot, is what the per-building quote pays for.
On a recent commercial job we set the quote from the property type, the stories, the roof type and the number of buildings. The site had a clogged gutter run that had sent water behind the fascia, which we photographed and reported rather than repaired. What we need from you to quote a San Marcos property is the address or a site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and the name of the party the invoice goes to.
| 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 Marcos properties we service, most are on twice a year, spring and late fall, under a gutter maintenance schedule, while restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees are on quarterly. Gutter cleaners who only work the visible runs miss the drains, so we check them on every visit.
After a storm or a hurricane season, the post-storm inspections are where we see the most debris, and that is when the managers call us back. San Marcos averages 36.6 inches of rain a year, with May, September and October the wettest months, and leaf and pollen load from nearby trees and landscape beds builds up before them. A clogged run can leak at the seam, and that water is what starts the water damage on fascia and soffits.
Flat roofs behave differently, and the crew picks cleaning solutions to suit the membrane and drain type on each building. Parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without any warning, and the first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists. A backed-up drain can cause roof leaks long before the ceiling shows it.
| 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 work across the commercial and residential properties of San Marcos, and our crews have serviced commercial buildings in the business districts and corridors of the city. Across this area we provide gutter cleaning for each building, including buildings in the surrounding areas. For a property manager with several buildings in the San Marcos service area, we run one contact for every building in the portfolio, so you do not need to coordinate separate crews.
Each visit follows the same gutter cleaning process: a date confirmed in writing, a check-in with the on-site contact on arrival, and a final inspection before the crew leaves. Where a tenant needs quiet hours, we time the work around them. Professional gutter cleaning services for a multi-site portfolio mean one invoice per building with the linear footage shown, so the board or owner can check it.
We also offer gutter cleaning for homeowners and businesses across the area, and a residential gutter gets the same crew and written quote as a commercial one. Call (866) 435-6328 or book a date, and tell us your gutter cleaning needs for each building.
We price per building and can show the linear footage on the invoice, so you see what the number is made of. The figure depends on stories, footprint and what is in the gutters, and we put it in writing per building before we schedule anything.
The lease decides, not us; see the lease-type section above for how the cases usually read. Tell us which party the lease names and we will send the invoice there. This is not legal advice, so check the maintenance clause of your lease.
On our San Marcos jobs, restaurants and flat roofs with internal drains are on quarterly service, because grease, grit and internal drains back up faster than a standard building. A flat roof that has not been checked between cleanings is where the stained tile shows up first.
Yes. Buildings above three stories are worked from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection in place. Send us the stories and the roof type and we will confirm the setup in your written quote.
Yes. We schedule around tenant hours when asked and check in with the on-site contact on arrival. Tell us the access rules when you book so the crew arrives prepared.
We clear the gutter runs and the roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs where they are in scope. Drains and scuppers are scoped on the site visit, and anything beyond clearing is photographed and reported, not repaired.
After a storm we see debris packed into runs and drains, and the post-storm calls are where that shows up. Text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you whether a crew visit is needed.
Yes. We invoice per building and set up a recurring schedule across several properties under one contact, with each visit confirmed in writing. Call (866) 435-6328 or book a date and we will set it up.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
