We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building, priced from the footprint and height of each one. 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 scheduled for this work, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. We service office, retail and multifamily buildings across Washington, and most of our bookings land in the spring and fall windows.
Quoted per building from footage, height and gutter type, in writing, before anyone is dispatched. Scheduled service costs less than a call-out.
Every commercial gutter cleaning service we sell starts with a written quote per building, built from linear footage, height and gutter type, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. Unlike some gutter cleaning companies that quote on arrival, we price in writing first. Commercial buildings with more than one structure get one quote per building.
Four things move the quote on our jobs. Height above three stories means a boom or scissor lift and more time under fall-protection rules. A clog at the elbow, or compacted debris in a gutter system nobody has cleaned in years, takes longer to clear than a yearly maintenance run. Gutter protection and any gutter guard have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the trough, and oversized or box gutters take more passes. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs add a separate step, and the number of buildings on one site changes how we stage the work. A blockage at a downspout that causes overflow gets cleared before we move on, and any water damage to the siding below it goes in the report. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras, since a clear downspout is how we protect your home from roof water. Scheduled semi-annual or quarterly service is priced lower than a one-off call, because the crew already knows the property and the footage is measured.
On a recent office job in Marysville, the quote came down to three stories, a flat roof with internal drains, and a building that had gone unserviced for two years. What we found was packed scuppers and a leaf mat in the trough, which set the time on site. The thorough gutter cleaning on that roof took the crew a full day, including a thorough cleaning of the internal drains, and the crew ran a final inspection before leaving. The photo report went to the property manager that evening. To quote your building we need the address or site plan, the stories, the roof type, the number of buildings, and who the invoice goes to.
| 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 Marysville properties we service are on twice a year, spring and late fall, and the residential and commercial cleaning services we run follow the same calendar. Restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees go on quarterly. Across Washington, the spring visit lands in mid to late June, and in Marysville the fall visit lands November to early December.
The post-storm inspections we run after the storm season across Washington turn up the same pattern every time: downspouts backed up with grit, trough sections pulled from their hangers, and water sitting behind fascia that never drained, which is usually the first sign of a leak. The spring load is pollen paste and seed in the elbows, and the fall load is the wet leaf mat that freezes into the trough, which turns a clogged gutter into a sheet of ice. That is why our fall visit comes before the cold sets in, so the building has clean gutters going into winter.
Flat roofs behave differently from pitched ones. Parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently, and a backed-up drain can cause roof leaks before the first stain shows on a ceiling tile or a membrane blister. That is why the monthly check between cleanings is part of our gutter maintenance on those roofs, not because a cleaning is due.
A restaurant on our quarterly schedule shows the difference in a few weeks: the grease and food grit in its gutters builds faster than any leaf load we see on a standard office building, and the cleaning solutions for grease are a different job from a leaf mat. Those are the buildings where a cleaning cycle that is too long turns into a repair call.
Call (866) 435-6328 to book a date for your spring or fall visit, or text a photo of the roof and we will confirm the timing.
| 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 across the business corridors of Marysville and the surrounding areas, and we have serviced properties on the commercial strip along the main arterials, clearing the landscape beds and tree litter from under the eaves on the same visit. Our service area covers commercial properties and homes in town. For a property manager with several buildings, the arrangement is simple: one contact with us for every building in the portfolio, and each building invoiced separately so the costs can be split by property.
Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the building to book a date. The gutter cleaning process starts with that date, confirmed in writing before the crew is dispatched. When the truck arrives, our crew checks in with the on-site contact, sets the ladder or lift where it will not block a loading dock, and works around tenant hours if you ask us to. We provide gutter cleaning for a single building the same way we do for a campus of four.
We also do residential gutter cleaning for a homeowner in town, so if a building on your list is a converted house, we can handle that under the same contract. As a gutter company with one crew, we serve homeowners and businesses alike, meet the gutter cleaning needs of either, and offer gutter cleaning and maintenance on the same invoice and photo report. The scheduling works the same either way.
Unlike some gutter cleaning companies that quote a flat rate, we price per building from the linear footage, the stories and the gutter type, and the number comes in writing for each building before we schedule it.
The lease decides, so check the maintenance clause in the section above for the lease type that matches yours. We do not give legal advice, and we invoice whichever party the lease names.
On the Marysville properties we service, quarterly is the schedule that keeps a restaurant or a flat roof from backing up between cleanings.
Yes. We work from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection in place on every job, and we confirm the setup for your building before we book it.
Yes. Tell us the hours and the access rules when you request the quote, and the gutter cleaning process will be scheduled around them.
Both. Roof drains and scuppers get cleared as part of the same visit, and we photograph them with the rest of the report, since clearing them is how you protect your home from roof water.
A clogged gutter after a storm usually shows up as downspouts blocked with debris and trough sections pulled from their hangers, and we photograph and report each one before any work is quoted. Call (866) 435-6328 to get on the schedule.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice, and a recurring schedule is set up in writing so the dates are booked a season ahead and each building stays on the calendar with clean gutters. Text a photo of the roofline to start the quote.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
