We quote commercial gutter work in Burien per building, priced from footprint and height. Our crew is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Every job runs with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift, and you get a photo report of each run afterward. Spring and fall are the usual booking windows, and the quote request form below takes about a minute to fill out.
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 quotes commercial work per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or satellite measurement before anyone is dispatched. Every quote is built from those measurements, so two buildings of equal footage are priced the same way.
What moves the quote on our properties is height. Anything above three stories needs a boom or scissor lift and the fall-protection setup that goes with it. Compacted debris on a system not cleaned in years takes longer to clear, and a clog at a downspout elbow adds time of its own. Debris that backs up into overflow onto siding or into the surrounding areas below adds more, because the crew has to protect the siding and clear the ground as well. Gutter protection has to be lifted and reseated, oversized or box gutters take more linear footage per crew hour, and roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs add their own work. The number of buildings on one site also changes the setup, since the lift moves once for a campus of buildings instead of once per building.
Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building in every visit, and are not billed as extras. Every quote covers thorough gutter cleaning of each run, and a thorough cleaning on a flat roof includes the drains and scuppers too. 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 Burien work has included a multi-building office property where the quote turned on stories, roof type and building count, with what we found on the first visit recorded in the report and linked from our case file. Where a case is not on file for your building, we need the address or site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and the party the invoice goes to before we can quote.
| 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 Burien properties we service, most are on twice a year, spring and late fall, and the restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover or heavy landscape planting are on quarterly. That split is what we see on our own schedules, not a general rule. Our cleaning services use the same interval logic for residential and commercial buildings, so a homeowner on a tree-covered roof gets the same quarterly check as a tree-covered building.
On our jobs, the storm season and the post-storm inspections turn up the most urgent calls. Across Washington, the storm season runs on atmospheric rivers and Pacific fronts, and Burien has a freeze risk on top of that. Property managers ask us to come out after a heavy blow and we photograph what came down or pulled loose. The fall leaf load is what fills the runs, and a freeze-thaw cycle is what cracks the seams that sat with water in them. A run that backs up and freezes ends up as water damage on the ceiling below, and a clear run is how you protect your home or business from exactly that.
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, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists. A clogged gutter on a flat roof is often the first sign of a leak, and gutter maintenance between visits catches it sooner. The cleaning process on each visit ends with a final inspection of every drain, and the crew flags anything that is holding water.
Where we have cleaned a restaurant or a tree-covered building on a quarterly plan, the frequency is set by what comes out of the gutters, and we adjust it after the first visit based on the photo report. A gutter system that is cleaned on the same calendar every time is easier to inspect, and a gutter guard stays easier to lift when the crew knows where it sits. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of your gutters, and we will tell you whether the building fits the semi-annual or quarterly plan.
| 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 Burien, including business districts and corridors where we have serviced buildings. Our professional gutter cleaning services cover commercial and residential properties alike, though a residential gutter job is a separate booking. When a manager has both kinds on one account, the same crew handles the work.
For a property manager with several buildings, scheduling runs through one contact. We confirm each date in writing, and the crew checks in with the on-site contact when it arrives. Where a building needs work timed around tenant hours, we schedule to that window. When you call, tell us your gutter cleaning needs for each building, including any blockage you have already seen. Lead time depends on the season and the crew calendar, so we confirm the first available date when you call rather than promising a fixed turnaround. To book a date, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the building, and we send back the first open slot.
We offer gutter cleaning and maintenance on the same account, so a portfolio that needs seasonal visits on one building and a one-off on another can sit under a single invoice arrangement. Our crew works on homeowners and businesses alike, and the coverage map on this page reflects the Burien service area we work in every week. Our cleaning solutions cover a single building or a whole portfolio. Property managers comparing gutter cleaning companies should ask each one for a photo report before signing.
We quote per building, and the figure depends on linear footage, stories and gutter type. Our gutter cleaning process starts with a site plan or satellite measurement, and the number comes in writing for each building before we are dispatched.
The lease decides, not us. The lease section above sets out the three common lease types and how each one reads. This is general information and 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 clean in Burien, quarterly is the schedule that holds. Grease and grit build up faster there, and internal drains back up without warning between visits. A clogged gutter on a flat roof can lead to a leak before anyone sees the stain. We set the interval after the first photo report.
Yes. We run a boom or scissor lift matched to the building, with fall protection on every job above three stories. Tell us the height when you request the quote and we will confirm the setup in writing.
Yes. We schedule to the window the property allows and check in with the on-site contact on arrival. If access rules restrict the lift or the parking, tell us before we book so the crew arrives ready.
Both. Roof drains and scuppers are cleared of debris on flat roofs, and the strainer domes are reseated afterward. Anything beyond that, like a cracked scupper or a separated seam, gets photographed and reported, not repaired. A scupper left blocked is one of the quickest ways a flat roof starts to cause roof leaks.
After a heavy blow we get calls to check for debris and pulled hangers. We photograph every run that was affected and write up what we find, so the manager has a record before any repair decision is made. Any gutter company you hire after a storm should give you the same record.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice with the linear footage shown, and commercial and residential properties both follow the same invoice format. Recurring schedules can be set up across several properties on one account, and residential gutter cleaning on a home in the same account is invoiced on its own line. Call (866) 435-6328 to set up the schedule, or ask for a written estimate first.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
