We quote commercial gutter cleaning per building in Millcreek, 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 ours and scheduled. We are not a roofer's side job squeezed in between re-roofs, and the person who gives you the quote is the person on the ladder.
We work on office, retail and multifamily properties across the Millcreek area, and the buildings that book us most are the ones that need clearing before the spring and fall rains.
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 commercial building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. You will know the number before the truck rolls. Our gutter cleaning service starts with a site walk where we note any clog, any gutter guard that has to come off, and any siding a blocked downspout has sent overflow onto.
Height is the largest single factor. Above three stories the job is done from a boom or scissor lift, and that setup is priced into the building's quote. Compacted debris is the next one: a system that has not been cleaned in years takes longer to clear, and we say so before we start. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated, oversized or box gutters, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and the number of buildings on one site all move the number as well. A thorough gutter cleaning takes longer on a gutter system with guards than on an open run, and the figure reflects that.
Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras. Any gutter protection on the building is counted in the quote, not added later. Every job is a thorough cleaning of each run and drain, and the price covers that. 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. Think of the per-building figure as the cost to protect your home or business from water coming in at the fascia.
On a recent Millcreek office building, the quote came down to four things we confirmed in writing before the job: three stories, a low-slope roof with internal drains, two buildings on one site, and a gutter run that had not been opened in several years. Those four facts set the scope, and we wrote them down before anyone was dispatched.
To quote a Millcreek property we need 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. Send those and we will reply with a per-building figure in writing, and that figure is the one we invoice.
| 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 Millcreek 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 quarterly. Across Utah the spring visit runs late May to June, after the wettest stretch of March through May, and the fall visit runs November to early December. Our cleaning services follow that window for a homeowner or a business alike.
Here is what we pull out of these buildings. After the storm season we find the downspouts packed with grit and debris that the rain washed down, and the managers who call us after a storm are usually the ones who skipped the last visit. In spring the gutters carry seed and pollen; by late fall they carry wet leaf mat that holds water against the fascia. A blocked downspout is the usual cause of a leak at the roof edge, well before the ceiling shows it. Freeze risk on these runs is real, which is why the late fall visit comes before the hard cold. Snow falls January through April and again in November and December, about 55.8 inches a year, so the fall visit goes in before the snow builds. Across Utah, a monsoon can drop an hour's worth of rain on a gutter that has been dry for weeks, and that is when the blockage shows. We see the same pattern on residential and commercial buildings alike.
On flat roofs the parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently. The first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a blister in the membrane, long after the water started moving the wrong way. That is why the monthly check between cleanings exists on those properties, and gutter maintenance between visits is a walk and a look rather than a full clean. Standing water on a flat roof is how water damage starts. For a flat roof, the right cleaning solutions are a vacuum and a flush, and a gutter system flushed on a schedule keeps the drains moving, which is the point of the visit.
A restaurant gutter gets cleaned every second month on our schedule, because grease and food particles bind the debris and the buildup comes faster than on an office. A building under heavy tree cover is on quarterly for the same reason: needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. Every visit, the gutter cleaning process is the same: clear, flush, bag, photograph.
| 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 for commercial properties across the Millcreek area, and we handle a multi-building or multi-site portfolio as one account. Our crew works the business corridors and the office and multifamily blocks where we have serviced properties before, and we can schedule a portfolio across all of them. Our service area covers Millcreek and the surrounding areas, and our professional gutter cleaning services reach homeowners and businesses alike.
For a property manager, the process is simple. You get one contact for every building. We confirm a date in writing, and our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival. Where tenant hours matter or a landscape crew is on site, we time the work around them. Lead time depends on the season and the number of buildings, and we tell you the earliest date we can hold when you call. Every job ends with a final inspection of the runs and drains before the crew leaves. Call (866) 435-6328 or book a date with us, and tell us your gutter cleaning needs and building count when you do.
We also do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners, so the same crew can take a mixed set of properties. For commercial work, the scope and the invoice are set building by building. We serve commercial and residential properties with one crew. Plenty of gutter cleaners stop at houses, and our crew does not. Ask any gutter company whether the figure is per building or per foot, and ask the other gutter cleaning companies on your list for the same written number. We offer gutter cleaning as one-time visits or a recurring schedule, and for a portfolio, one account can cover gutter cleaning and maintenance.
We price per building, and linear footage is one of the inputs we use to get there. The number depends on the stories, the gutter type and what is in the gutters, and it comes to you in writing before we are dispatched. Ask for the written estimate and we will send it. The process begins with a site walk, so the figure reflects what we actually find.
The lease decides, not us. The maintenance clause of your lease sets who gets the invoice, and the lease cases are set out in the section above. This is not legal advice, so read the clause or ask the attorney who drafted it. We bill whichever party the lease names.
On the Millcreek properties we service, restaurants and flat roofs with internal drains go on quarterly, because grease and debris build up faster and the drains back up without warning. If you are not sure which schedule fits, text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you.
Yes. Above three stories we work from a boom or scissor lift, with fall protection on every job. The setup is built into the quote, so the height of the building shows up in the number before the crew is dispatched.
Yes. We time the work around tenant hours where you ask us to, and we follow the site's access rules for the gate, the loading area and the parking. Tell us the rules when you book and our crew will follow them.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs where they are reachable from the roof, along with the gutters and downspouts. Anything we find that needs repair is photographed and put in the report, not fixed without your approval.
After a severe storm the post-storm call-outs usually turn up debris packed into the downspouts and grit washed onto the flat roofs. A clogged gutter can cause roof leaks at the edge, and a blockage on a flat roof is how water damage starts. We check the runs and the drains, clear what is blocked, and send photos of every one. Call (866) 435-6328 to book the visit.
Yes. We invoice per building with the linear footage shown, so an owner or a board can check it, and we set up a recurring schedule across several properties on one calendar. Book a date with us and we will confirm the schedule in writing.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
