We quote commercial gutter work per building in Vancouver, priced from each building's footprint and height, with fall protection or a boom or scissor lift on every job and a photo report after. Our crew is ours and scheduled year-round, not a roofer's side job between re-roofs. We work on office, retail and multifamily commercial properties in Vancouver, and most of our commercial bookings come in before the spring and fall visits. Text a photo of the roofline or call (866) 435-6328 to get started.
Quoted per building from footage, height and gutter type, in writing, before anyone is dispatched. Scheduled service costs less than a call-out.
We quote each commercial building from linear footage, height and the type of gutter system, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. Height above three stories is the biggest single factor, because it sets the boom or scissor lift and the fall-protection setup the job needs. Compacted debris on a system that has not been cleaned in years is a heavier blockage and takes longer to clear, any gutter guard on the run has to be lifted and reseated before the gutter can be opened, and oversized or box gutters need more time per linear foot. A clog at one downspout can hold up a whole run, so the drains get checked too. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs add to the count, and the number of buildings on one site sets how the visit is scheduled. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are not billed as extras. Our commercial cleaning services are priced per building, and cleaning solutions and equipment are part of the quote, not a separate line. A scheduled contract is priced below a one-off call because the footage is on file and the route is set. Our gutter cleaning process starts with a site walk or a satellite measurement, then a written estimate, then a final inspection with photos before we leave the site. That way a property manager can check each building's invoice against its own run count. Our crews handle residential and commercial jobs, but this page is about commercial buildings, and a single homeowner gets a separate quote. Those are the details we need to quote a Vancouver property: the address or site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, the number of buildings, and who the invoice goes to. Text a photo of the roofline or call (866) 435-6328 and we will book the site walk.
| 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 Vancouver properties we service, most are on twice a year, spring and late fall, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings under heavy trees on quarterly. The storm season across Washington is atmospheric rivers and Pacific fronts, and the managers who call us after a storm are usually the ones who skipped the fall visit. What we pull out of a restaurant gutter each quarter is grease-laden debris that holds water against the fascia. Vancouver averages about 37.5 inches of rain a year, and January, November and December are the wettest months. Our fall visit runs November to early December, when leaf drop peaks and the wet season is already under way. The freeze risk here means a run that sagged under wet leaves in November can carry ice into the new year, so a clear system going into winter matters. When a gutter overflow starts at a corner, the water runs down the siding and sits against the foundation, and a blocked run is the usual start of water damage on a commercial wall. Buildings with heavy landscape around them, such as beds of mulch and mature trees, shed more debris into the runs, so those sites get the shorter interval. On flat roofs, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently, and the first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister. A blocked internal drain can cause roof leaks that show up two floors down, which is why we include a monthly check between cleanings on those buildings. A scheduled clean is the simplest way to keep a flat roof's drains open, and we provide gutter cleaning on that schedule for property managers who want one contact across every building.
| 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 work across the business districts and corridors of Vancouver and the surrounding areas where we have serviced commercial buildings. Ask us whether your building sits inside our service area when you call. For a property manager or facilities lead, scheduling runs through one contact for all of your buildings, and a date is confirmed in writing before the crew is dispatched. Our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival, and we time the work around tenant hours when that is asked for. Lead time depends on the season and the number of buildings, and we tell you the booking window when you call. A clogged gutter on one building can cause a leak that shows up on another floor, so a multi-building portfolio is worth scheduling as a single route. We handle commercial and residential properties on the same calendar when a portfolio includes both, and the crew knows which buildings need the lift. Scheduled service is how most commercial clients keep clean gutters and their gutter maintenance on track across the year, and the gutter company you call should be the one that knows each building's history. Every visit is a thorough gutter cleaning and maintenance check of each run and drain, and a site that needs more than that gets its gutter protection quote in writing. A portfolio with a residential building in it still runs on one route, and we match the lift and the crew to your residential gutter cleaning needs building by building. When you compare gutter cleaning companies and gutter cleaners, ask each one for a per-building quote in writing and a photo report. Homeowners and businesses both get the same scheduling, and a home or business with a single building gets the same written quote as a portfolio. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will book a date. Ask us for a written estimate on your full portfolio.
We price each building on its own linear footage, height and gutter type, and the number comes to you in writing before work starts. Per-foot and per-building quotes both come from those same three inputs, so nothing is hidden in the total. Once the estimate is signed, that is the number on the invoice.
Send us the maintenance clause when you book and the invoice follows it. We will not guess at a lease we have not read, so your own counsel has the final word on the split. On the invoices we write, the party the clause names is the one billed.
On the restaurants and flat-roof buildings we clean in Vancouver, quarterly is what keeps the drains open. Grease and grit build up faster than leaves do, and the parapets back up without warning. We check flat-roof buildings monthly between cleanings for that reason.
Yes. Above three stories we work from a boom or scissor lift with fall protection in place, and the lift is matched to the building's height and roofline. We confirm the setup when we quote, so there are no surprises on the day.
Yes. We schedule around tenant hours when asked, and we check in with the on-site contact on arrival so access rules are followed. Tell us the hours and any gate codes when you book, and we will plan the route around them.
We clear roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs as part of a thorough cleaning, and the strainer domes are reseated afterward. Any drain line below grade is cleared on request and quoted separately. We photograph each one so the manager has a record.
After a severe storm the call-outs usually turn up debris packed into the downspouts and runs pulled loose from their hangers. Those are the first things we photograph and report. Clearing them quickly helps protect your home or business, and storm visits are scheduled on the same route as the regular service where we can.
Yes. We invoice per building with the linear footage shown, so a board or an owner can check each line. We offer gutter cleaning on a recurring schedule across several properties, with one contact and dates confirmed in writing. Call (866) 435-6328 or ask for a written estimate on your portfolio, and our professional gutter cleaning services will be quoted for the whole list.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
