What we install on commercial properties
- 6-inch seamless aluminum K-style gutters, rolled on site from our own machines
- 3x4 oversized downspouts to handle large roof areas
- Gutter guards where trees or access make cleaning a chore
- Fascia repair behind the gutters where boards have failed
- Tear-off and haul-away of old gutters
Every job is done by our own employees, not subcontractors, and installations carry our 5-year workmanship warranty in writing.
Why 6-inch for commercial
Commercial buildings usually have larger roof areas draining to each gutter run than a house does. A 6-inch gutter carries roughly 40% more water than a 5-inch, and pairing it with 3x4 downspouts keeps water moving in heavy Kansas City storms instead of sheeting over entrances and walkways. That's why our commercial work is 6-inch only. The gutter size guide explains the sizing math.
Good fits for our commercial work
- Small office buildings and professional offices
- Retail strips and storefronts with pitched roofs or mansards
- Churches and community buildings
- Multifamily, townhome and HOA properties
- Shops, garages and outbuildings
If your building has a flat roof with internal drains, scuppers or built-in box gutters, that's outside what we do, and we'll tell you so at the first call.
How a commercial project works
- Site visit. We measure every run, look at roof area per downspout, access and where water should discharge.
- Written, itemized quote. Footage, downspouts, tear-off, any fascia, and access requirements.
- Scheduling. We plan around your hours, tenants and parking.
- Install. Gutters rolled on site, hung on hidden hangers, downspouts set to drain away from entrances and foundations.
- Walkthrough and cleanup.
What affects commercial gutter pricing
Commercial jobs are priced per project, but the same factors drive the number every time:
- Total footage of gutter and downspout, and how many separate runs there are
- Building height and access. Two-story walls are routine; taller walls, parking lots or landscaping beds can change the equipment needed
- Downspout count and discharge points, since 3x4 downspouts and their placement matter more on large roofs
- Tear-off of existing gutters ($2–$3/ft on residential work; commercial tear-off is quoted with the job)
- Fascia condition behind the old gutters
- Scheduling constraints like tenant hours, deliveries and parking
For reference, our residential seamless gutter pricing is $13–$18 per foot installed with downspouts; see the cost guide. Commercial quotes are built from a site measurement, not a per-foot guess.
Maintenance planning for property managers
Gutters on commercial and multifamily buildings fail quietly: a clogged downspout over an entrance, an overflowing corner that soaks a walkway and freezes in January, a run pulling away above a parking space. A simple plan helps:
- Inspect twice a year, in late spring and late fall, and after major storms
- Keep downspouts clear at the top elbow, where seed pods and leaves collect
- Make sure discharge points send water away from entrances, sidewalks and foundations
- Consider guards on buildings with heavy tree cover, where cleaning means a lift or tall ladders
- Fix small leaks early, before they rot fascia and turn into a section replacement
We can set up gutter cleaning and repairs on pitched-roof buildings as part of that plan.
Who this is for
Property owners, managers and HOAs in the Kansas City metro who need durable, properly sized gutters on pitched-roof commercial and multifamily buildings, installed by a local crew that answers the phone.
Common questions
What gutters do you install on commercial buildings?
6-inch seamless aluminum K-style gutters with 3x4 downspouts. We roll them on site from coil so long runs don't need seams. We don't install box gutters, 7-inch gutters, copper or half-round.
How is commercial gutter work priced?
Per project, after a site visit. Footage, building height, access and lift needs, number of downspouts and scheduling around tenants all affect the price. You get a written, itemized quote.
Can you work around business hours?
We work Monday through Friday, 8 to 6, and can schedule weekends by request. We'll plan access, parking and staging so customers and tenants aren't disrupted more than necessary.
Do you add gutter guards on commercial properties?
Yes. Guards are a good fit on buildings where getting up to clean is difficult or expensive. We'll recommend a guard type based on the trees around the building.
