We quote commercial gutter cleaning per building, priced from its 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 spring and fall visits stop a clogged gutter before the seasons that fill them, and we book those dates a season ahead for property managers and facilities leads who want one contact across every building. Call (866) 435-6328 to book a date.
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 commercial gutter cleaning per building from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. What moves the number on our jobs is height above three stories and the boom or scissor lift it requires under fall-protection rules, compacted debris on a gutter system nobody has cleaned in years, a gutter guard that has to be lifted to reach the channel, oversized or box gutters, roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs, and how many buildings sit on one site.
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. Whichever it is, a home or business that backs up every season usually costs more per one-off visit than on a plan, and we say so when we quote.
On a commercial property, the gutter cleaning service runs on the building's own measurements, not on a guess from the street. A clog or blockage that keeps water on a flat roof, or a siding run that stays wet behind a blocked downspout, is the kind of thing we photograph and note before the final inspection. Our cleaning solutions are mechanical: hand-cleared channels, vacuum on the leaf mat, and flushed downspouts. Whether the property is a single office, a row of retail units, or a residential and commercial mix, we write the quote for that building, and the number comes in writing before work starts.
We recently quoted a three-building office site in the Eau Claire area: two stories on the front run, a flat roof with internal drains on the rear, and a lift needed only for the parapet side. The quote was per building, the invoice went to the managing company, and the lift was booked for the one building that needed it. The gutter cleaners on that job worked from the lift and tied off on the roof edge, and nothing on the site was billed as a surprise. Tell us the address or send a site plan, the number of stories, the roof type, how many buildings are on the site, and who the invoice goes to, and we will write the quote from those.
| Per building | |
|---|---|
| Standard, one to two stories | from $150 |
| Oversized box or industrial gutters | from $295 |
| Three stories and up, with a lift | from $395 |
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 Eau Claire 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 on quarterly. Our cleaning services follow the same plan for each property type, so a manager knows the next date before the last crew leaves the lot.
In a restaurant gutter every second month we pull out grease-stiffened debris and food-service grit that a standard office never sees, and the managers who call us after a storm tell us their gutter cleaning needs changed once the kitchen exhaust was vented past the eave. The thorough cleaning process on those roofs is the same, but the interval is shorter. Flat roofs with internal drains show a different failure: the scuppers overflow silently, and the first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile or a membrane blister, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists.
Storm season across Wisconsin, mostly summer severe storms, sends debris into every channel at once, and the post-storm inspections turn up the same things each year: packed elbows, a sagged hanger, and water damage starting behind the fascia where a downspout has stopped, which is how a leak usually begins. Freeze risk is the reason we inspect in late fall, before the ice that pulls runs loose in winter.
A homeowner and a building manager ask the same thing about a clog, which is why we keep the schedule plain: twice a year for standard commercial, quarterly where the roof or the tree load demands it. Our crew can provide gutter cleaning on whichever plan fits, and the offer gutter cleaning schedule goes on one invoice per building, so a homeowners and businesses portfolio is billed the same way regardless of property type.
| 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.
Eau Claire is the center of our service area, and we work the business districts, corridors and business parks in the surrounding areas where we have already serviced commercial properties; the neighboring cities sit in the link block below. Our professional gutter cleaning services cover each building in the portfolio, so a property manager has one contact for every address instead of a separate call for each site.
Scheduling works like this: we confirm a date in writing, our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival, and work is timed around tenant hours where asked. Lead times are set per property and shown when you book. The residential gutter work we also do is for homeowners, and the same crew handles residential gutter cleaning on the side, but a commercial site is scheduled as its own plan.
For a portfolio that spans several properties, the gutter cleaning process is set up once: each building gets its own measurement, its own invoice and its own dates. A commercial and residential properties mix stays on the same schedule and one contact, which keeps the gutter maintenance records clean for the owner, and each gutter cleaning and maintenance visit is logged against its address. We keep a visit history on each address so a repeat customer's clean gutters are easy to check at the next visit, and a missed downspout is caught before it can cause roof leaks.
We also do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners, and keeping the channels clear is how you protect your home. A landscape with mature trees or a row of retail buildings beside a parking lot is where the debris load shows up first, and that is where our gutter company crews spend the most time.
We quote per building, and the price depends on the linear footage, the height and the gutter type, so the number comes in writing for each address rather than as a rate. When you compare gutter cleaning companies, ask for that written number, and text us a photo of the roofline and we will return one.
The lease decides, not state law. Read the maintenance clause in your lease, and see the section above for how each lease type reads. This is not legal advice; ask the attorney who drafted the lease if the clause is unclear.
On the restaurants and flat roofs we service, quarterly is the interval, with a monthly check between visits to catch a scupper backing up before a tenant sees a stained ceiling tile.
Yes. We reach it with a boom or scissor lift and tie off under fall-protection rules, and the lift is booked for the building when we confirm the date.
Yes. Tell us the hours and the access rules, and our crew will time the work around them and check in with the on-site contact on arrival.
We clear the roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs along with the gutters, and we photograph each one before we leave. Repair and gutter protection are outside what we do, so anything found is reported, not fixed.
Summer severe storms put debris into every channel at once, and the post-storm call-outs most often turn up packed elbows and downspouts that have stopped, which is where a leak starts. Call (866) 435-6328 or book a date, and we will do a thorough gutter cleaning, then inspect the building and send photos.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice and its own dates, and the recurring schedule is set up once across the portfolio so one contact handles every address. Ask for a written estimate and we will set it up.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
