We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building in Lakewood, priced from the footprint and height of each one. Every job is done with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift, and you get a photo report of each run afterward.
The crew that does the work is our own, scheduled around your building rather than fitted in between a roofer's jobs. Our Lakewood work is mostly commercial buildings: office, retail and multifamily properties, and most of them book us for the spring and fall visits.
Quoted per building from footage, height and gutter type, in writing, before anyone is dispatched. Scheduled service costs less than a call-out.
Each gutter cleaning service we quote is priced per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. The number on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Height is the first thing that moves a quote. Above three stories we bring the boom or scissor lift the roofline needs, because fall protection has to be in place before anyone works an upper run. A thorough gutter cleaning on a clogged gutter that has not been cleared in years takes longer than a light seasonal load, and a clog packed into a downspout adds time on top. Gutter protection that has to be lifted and reseated adds more, and so does a thorough cleaning of roof drains. The type of gutter system matters too, oversized or box gutters included, along with scuppers on flat roofs and the number of buildings on one site. Overflow that runs down the wall can soak siding and the trim beneath it, so the crew checks those runs more closely.
Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras. 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 Lakewood experience is with office and multifamily properties where the managers wanted one contact across several buildings. To quote a Lakewood property we need the address or a site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings and who the invoice goes to. Those five things settle the quote. When you compare gutter cleaners and gutter cleaning companies, ask each one to quote from the same five facts so the numbers line up.
| 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 Lakewood properties we service, most are on twice a year, in spring and late fall, while restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy tree cover go quarterly. Across Washington, the storm season is the reason most managers call us after a bad run of weather. Call (866) 435-6328 to get your building on that calendar.
After a severe storm our post-inspection calls usually turn up a clogged gutter, loose hangers, sagging runs and debris packed against downspout outlets. A restaurant gutter fills with grease and food residue faster than a standard building's, even with a gutter guard fitted, which is why we clear those every second month.
On flat roofs, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up without any warning, and a backed-up drain can cause a leak through the roof before anyone sees a stain. The first thing a tenant usually notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, so the monthly check between cleanings is part of our gutter maintenance, meant to catch the blockage before that happens.
Our gutter cleaning process for a commercial account runs the same way each visit, and the final inspection is photographed run by run, so the schedule is easy to follow. Where a building keeps backing up between visits, we talk through cleaning solutions with the manager before the next scheduled 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 provide gutter cleaning for commercial properties across Lakewood, and we offer gutter cleaning and maintenance on the same schedule for each building in a portfolio. Lakewood and the surrounding areas are inside our service area, and each property gets the same professional gutter cleaning services no matter which town it sits in. The crew works from one contact for every building, confirms a date in writing, and checks in with the on-site contact when it arrives.
For a multi-site owner, work can be timed around tenant hours where that is asked for, and each building is invoiced on its own line so the board or the owner can check the figures. We handle the gutter cleaning needs of a single commercial building or a whole complex the same way, and we will clear a blockage on any building in the portfolio that has an overflow problem before it turns into water damage.
We also do residential gutter cleaning for a homeowner, which is the same crew on the same equipment, but this page is about commercial properties. Our work covers homeowners and businesses alike, and we handle residential and commercial properties on one invoice where a single owner holds both. Clear gutters help protect your home or business from a soaked landscape and a foundation that stays wet, whatever kind of building it is. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline, and we will book a date.
We quote per building, and that number depends on the linear footage, the height and the gutter type on that property. The figure comes in writing before any crew is sent out, and it is the first thing to get from any gutter company before you sign.
The lease decides, so check the maintenance clause in yours and see the lease-type breakdown above. This is not legal advice.
On the flat roofs and restaurants we service, we clean gutters every quarter, because one missed visit can mean a leak. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will set the dates for each property.
Yes. We bring the boom or scissor lift for commercial buildings over three stories and set up fall protection before anyone works an upper run.
Yes. Tell us the hours and the access rules and the crew schedules around them.
Both. Roof drains and scuppers are cleared with the gutters, and any problem we find is photographed and put in the report.
We get calls for a clogged gutter with loose hangers, sagging runs and debris blocking the downspout outlets. Left alone, that debris and standing water can cause roof leaks, so we clear what is blocking the water and photograph whatever needs repair.
Yes. Recurring gutter maintenance is set up per property, and each building gets its own line on the invoice. Text a photo of the roofline and we will confirm the building count, then book the first date.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
