We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building in Auburn, 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 do this work all year and are not a roofer squeezing gutters in between re-roofs. The properties we see most in Auburn are offices and multifamily buildings, and they book in the spring and fall.
Quoted per building from footage, height and gutter type, in writing, before anyone is dispatched. Scheduled service costs less than a call-out.
Every gutter cleaning service we quote for commercial properties is priced per building from the linear footage, the height and the gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched.
Height is usually what moves the number most. Above three stories the crew works from a boom or scissor lift under fall-protection rules, and that setup is priced in. Compacted debris on a system nobody has cleaned in years takes longer to clear, and a clog at a downspout elbow adds time too. A gutter guard has to be lifted and reseated before the run gets cleaned. Oversized and box gutters, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and the number of buildings on one site all show up in the quote. If an overflow has spattered the siding below, that gets photographed in the report, not repaired on the spot.
Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras. Gutter protection such as guard installation is not part of this quote. 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.
Here is what we need to quote an Auburn property: the address or a site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings, and who the invoice goes to. We also do a thorough gutter cleaning of the whole run, not a look at the sections visible from the parking lot, so the quote covers the full job. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will reply with a written estimate.
| Per building | |
|---|---|
| Standard, one to two stories | from $150 |
| Oversized box or industrial gutters | from $340 |
| Three stories and up, with a lift | from $455 |
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 Auburn properties we service, most are on twice a year, in spring and late fall, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover on quarterly. The same logic applies to residential and commercial buildings alike.
Restaurants are the fastest. Grease and food debris mix with leaves in the gutter and turn into a paste that holds water, so the gutter cleaning process on those buildings takes longer each visit, and cleaning solutions for grease are a different job from leaves under a tree. Storm season is the other driver: across Washington it comes from atmospheric rivers and Pacific fronts, and the post-storm inspections we run turn up sagging hangers and debris jams that were not visible from the ground the week before.
On flat roofs, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without a sound. The first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, and by then a leak has already started, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists. A clogged gutter or drain left alone can cause roof leaks, and that is the risk on commercial buildings with flat roofs.
Whatever the property, our cleaning services check the whole gutter system at each visit and note anything that needs a second look. A gutter maintenance schedule is what keeps a run from reaching that point. Every visit ends with a final inspection and a photo of each run, and you can call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of your roofline to book a date.
| 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 for commercial and residential properties across Auburn, and we treat each business district and corridor as its own route. Auburn is the core of our service area, and the surrounding areas run on the same routes. We offer gutter cleaning on every route, and every building gets the same quote steps. For a property manager with several buildings, you deal with one gutter company, one contact for all of them, and one date confirmed in writing.
Our crew checks in with the on-site contact when it arrives and works around tenant hours when asked. For a multi-site portfolio we set up one recurring schedule for gutter cleaning and maintenance covering every building, with a separate invoice per building so each owner can check its own charges.
We provide gutter cleaning for properties where water damage has already started, and we also keep a routine schedule for buildings that want one. Either way, the blockage we clear is usually the first thing to fix. Buildings with heavy landscape beds or tree cover drop more debris, so those sites get a shorter cycle. We also do residential gutter cleaning for a homeowner, because a clean system is how you protect your home from water damage, and we take on both homeowners and businesses who need a single crew across a mixed site. Any building, home or business, gets the same quote steps. Tell us your gutter cleaning needs and call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the building to book a date.
We quote per building, and the number depends on the linear footage, the height and the gutter type. We do not quote figures in conversation; you get the number in writing for each building before we schedule the job. Ask any of the gutter cleaning companies you call for their number, and ask what it covers.
The lease decides it, not us. The lease type sets who carries exterior maintenance, so read the maintenance clause or ask the attorney who drafted it. This is not legal advice. Once you know who pays, we invoice that party directly.
On the restaurants and flat roofs we service, we clean quarterly, because grease and debris build up quickly and parapets back up without warning. Some buildings we see less often need semi-annual service instead.
Yes. Above three stories the crew works from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection in place, and the lift is priced into the quote for that building.
Yes. Tell us the hours and the access rules when you book and we schedule the crew around them, and we check in with the on-site contact on arrival.
Both. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs at commercial buildings get cleared of debris and their strainer domes reseated, and that is part of the per-building job.
After severe weather we get calls for debris jams and downspouts pulled loose, and a clogged gutter is where the water spills over first. The post-storm inspections turn up hangers that have failed and standing water that points to a slope problem, and we photograph each one for the report.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice, and one recurring schedule can cover the whole portfolio. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will set it up with you.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
