We quote commercial gutter and downspout cleaning per building in Oshkosh, priced from each building's footprint and height. 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 does this work full time. It is not a roofer's side job between re-roofs, and the same people who quote the building are the ones who clean it.
Most of our Oshkosh properties book in spring and late fall, the two windows when leaves, seeds and pollen pack the runs hardest. 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 work per building, from linear footage, height and gutter type, in writing, from a site plan or a satellite measurement, before anyone is dispatched. Each job is priced that way, and gutter cleaning companies often publish a flat rate that does not know your roofline, so our quote is built for the building.
Height is the biggest factor on our jobs. Once a building runs past three stories we bring a boom or scissor lift and set fall protection, and that changes the crew time and the equipment on the quote. A clog in a neglected run, packed with compacted debris, takes longer to clear than a run that is maintained, and gutter protection that has to be lifted and reseated adds time on each section. Oversized box gutters and industrial gutters take more hands and more care, and roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs are their own line item. The number of buildings on one site matters too, because a multi-building property scheduled together is quoted once as a portfolio.
Where a blocked run leaves water to overflow, it runs down the fascia and onto the siding below, so a thorough gutter cleaning is priced to clear every run, not just the ones you can see. Clear runs protect your home or business from water damage, and that is what the lift and the crew time pay for. A thorough cleaning is priced on footage and height, not by the hour. Downspout flushing and debris haul-off are included per building and are never billed as extras. 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. Properties in the surrounding areas of Oshkosh are quoted on the same per-building basis, inside our service area.
On a flat-roof building with two rows of box gutter, the lift, the scupper count and the amount of debris usually decide the number, so those are the three things we measure first.
| 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 Oshkosh properties we service, most are on twice a year, spring and late fall, with restaurants, flat roofs with internal drains and buildings set in a mature landscape under heavy tree cover on a quarterly schedule. Both residential and commercial buildings follow the same logic: our cleaning services follow the debris load, not the calendar.
Across Wisconsin, storm season means summer severe storms, and the managers who call us after a storm usually find leaf and debris loads that a single fall visit would have caught earlier. Freeze risk is part of the winter picture as well, since blocked runs hold water that expands in cold weather, and a gutter system left blocked through winter takes that stress with every freeze. A gutter guard slows debris, but it does not stop debris from building up at the downspout, and a blockage there backs water up into the run above it.
On a flat roof, parapets, internal drains and scuppers back up silently. The first thing a tenant notices is a stained ceiling tile, a leak, or a membrane blister, which is why the monthly check between cleanings exists. The cleaning process on a flat roof starts with the internal drains, and cleaning solutions do not clear a packed scupper, so the crew clears it by hand. Each visit ends with a final inspection of the runs and the drains.
| 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 cover the business districts and commercial corridors of Oshkosh where our crew has already serviced properties. Our professional gutter cleaning services follow the same booking rules in every district. For a property manager with several buildings, one contact handles every site, and the date for each building is confirmed in writing before the crew arrives.
Our crew checks in with the on-site contact on arrival and can time the work around tenant hours where that is asked. We provide gutter cleaning on the schedule the building needs, and lead time depends on the schedule we are already running, so we confirm the date when we quote rather than promising one in advance. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline to book a date.
We also do residential gutter cleaning, and we clean commercial and residential properties, so we serve homeowners and businesses alike. A homeowner gets the same written quote, but this page is about commercial properties. Whether you run one building or a portfolio, we offer gutter cleaning and maintenance with one invoice per building, and we tailor the schedule to your gutter cleaning needs.
We quote per building, but the number is built from linear footage, height and gutter type, so both measures are used. Gutter cleaners who price only by the foot miss the lift a tall building needs, so we add it before we quote. We write the figure out for each building before we are scheduled, and the quote does not change once it is signed.
The lease decides, not us. Read the maintenance clause in your lease, and see the section above for how each lease type is usually handled. This is general information, not legal advice.
On our Oshkosh restaurants and flat roofs, quarterly is the schedule that holds. Grease and debris build up faster there, and internal drains back up without warning between cleanings. A clogged gutter is often the first sign.
Yes. We set a boom or scissor lift and fall protection for taller commercial buildings, and the lift is part of the quote. Send us the stories and the roof type and we will confirm the setup in writing.
Yes. Tell us the hours and the access rules and our crew will plan the visit around them. The gutter cleaning process runs the same at every site: confirm the hours, clear the runs, then send the photo report. The on-site contact is told when we arrive and when we leave.
We clear both, on commercial and residential properties alike. Roof drains and scuppers on flat roofs are quoted as their own line, and they are cleared of debris with the strainer domes reseated. A drain or scupper that stays blocked can cause roof leaks, which is why it is never left off the job.
After severe summer storms, the post-storm calls we take usually turn up blocked downspouts, debris packed into runs and the odd separated hanger. The crew photographs anything found and reports it, without repairing it unless it is authorized.
Yes. Each building gets its own invoice with the linear footage shown, and a recurring schedule covers the whole portfolio on one calendar, so your gutter maintenance is easy to track. A gutter company that bills the whole portfolio as one number makes that harder to check.
Footage, height and the address by phone or email. The quote comes in writing, per building.
