We quote commercial gutter clearing per building in Kennewick, priced from each building's footprint and height, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job and a photo report when we finish. The crew doing the work is ours and scheduled, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. Our Kennewick work is mostly office, retail and multifamily buildings that book in the spring and fall, once the seasonal drop is over. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo for a written estimate.
Quoted per building from footage, height and gutter type, in writing, before anyone is dispatched. Scheduled service costs less than a call-out.
Our commercial cleaning services are quoted per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. The first number we give is the number we bill, and it is set for each building rather than off a rate card. Before the crew leaves, a final inspection of each run confirms the scope matches the quote.
Height is the biggest single factor. Above three stories the building needs a boom or scissor lift under fall-protection rules, and that changes the crew size and the time on site. Compacted debris on a gutter system that has not been cleaned in years takes longer to clear than a seasonal load, and each gutter guard, or other gutter protection on the building, that has to be lifted and reseated adds time on every run. Oversized or box gutters, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and the number of buildings on one site all move the quote as well. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras, and where a run is greasy the crew uses cleaning solutions suited to the buildup. Scheduled semi-annual or quarterly service is priced lower than a one-off call, because the crew already knows the building.
Many gutter cleaning companies quote by the foot alone, which leaves out height and roof drains, and ladder-only gutter cleaners have no way to price a parapet. The same footage-and-height method prices a residential and commercial job, whether it is a home or business, so the number is comparable from one property to the next.
On a Kennewick office building with a flat roof, the quote came down to the roof drains and the height of the parapet, not the linear footage. The crew measured the run from a site plan, confirmed the access, and wrote the number before the truck went out. A homeowner with one house and a property manager with a portfolio both get a written quote built the same way. Property type, stories, roof type and building count are what we need from you to quote a Kennewick property: the address or a site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings, and who the invoice goes to. The invoice goes to the party you name, and it reads the same way the quote did.
| 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.
Most of the Kennewick properties we service are on twice a year for gutter cleaning and maintenance, in spring and late fall, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover on quarterly. Both homeowners and businesses ask how often, and the honest answer depends on the roof, not the calendar. We offer gutter cleaning as a one-off or on a fixed schedule, and the schedule is what we see on the roofs we climb.
The spring visit clears what the winter left behind, and the fall visit clears the leaf load before the gutters have to carry the winter rain. The storm season across Washington brings heavy runoff, and most of the storm calls we get trace back to a downspout clog or a blockage at the outlet, and the result is gutter overflow down the wall. Professional gutter cleaning services on a schedule catch that before it turns into water damage inside the building. The gutter cleaning needs on a commercial roof are a different question from a residential gutter, because the stakes run to every tenant below.
Flat roofs are the ones that need the closest watch. Parapets, internal drains and scuppers hide a blockage until the water shows up inside, and the first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister. That is why we provide gutter cleaning on a monthly check between seasons on those roofs, and why we set those properties to quarterly even when the load looks light. The schedule matches the building, and a landscape with heavy tree cover needs the same attention to the downspouts. To set a schedule, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roof, and we will book the date in writing.
| 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.
Our service area covers Kennewick and the surrounding areas, including the business corridors and the commercial properties near them, and we handle a multi-building portfolio on a single schedule. One contact covers every building, and the date is confirmed in writing before the crew arrives. Our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival and times the work around tenant hours when that is asked for.
A clogged gutter on commercial buildings usually shows up first as a leak at a window head or along a fascia board, and the gutter cleaning process starts with finding where the water is actually standing. We clear each run, flush each downspout and photograph the result, so the property manager has a record of each building. Every visit includes thorough gutter cleaning, which means every run and not just the ones visible from the parking lot. A single company handling the scheduling for every building is simpler than a different outfit on each site, and it keeps the record in one place. Our gutter company runs the same gutter maintenance process across each building on the portfolio, and that consistency is what the property manager is paying for. A residential gutter cleaning job for an owner-occupant on the same street follows the same method, and it is the same work that can protect your home from water running down the foundation. Clean gutters carry water away from the wall, and a missed run can cause roof leaks inside the building within a season.
Lead time depends on the crew calendar and is confirmed when you book. Ask for the date in writing with the quote.
We quote per building, and the number depends on the linear footage, the height, and the gutter type. Each building gets its own written figure, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched.
The lease decides it, so read the maintenance clause and the section above on who pays. This is not legal advice, but on the invoices we write, the party named in the lease is the party we bill.
On the restaurants and flat roofs we service, quarterly is the schedule that holds. The internal drains and scuppers back up without warning, so the monthly check between cleanings is part of that plan.
Yes. Above three stories we work from a boom or scissor lift under fall-protection rules, and the crew is set up for the height before the first run is cleared. Tell us the stories when you book so the right lift is on the truck.
Yes. Our service area covers Kennewick and the surrounding areas, and we schedule around tenant hours when you ask. We check in with the on-site contact on arrival. If your building has access rules, send them with the quote request and the crew will follow them.
We clear both. The thorough cleaning on a flat roof means the roof drains and scuppers get cleared of debris, and the strainer domes are reseated. Anything we find that needs repair is photographed and reported, not fixed without your authorization.
After a severe storm we get the call-outs for backed-up downspouts, and what turns up most often is a clog at the outlet that let gutter overflow run down the siding. Our crew clears it, photographs it, and sends the report the same day.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice with the linear footage shown, so a board or an owner can check it. A recurring schedule for several properties runs on one calendar with one contact, and the date is confirmed in writing before each visit. Call (866) 435-6328 to set one up.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
