What's Inside
The complete playbook.
Eight sections. The same five-step framework every Guidebook follows — adapted for the specific moves that matter in this business. Different trade, same playbook structure, every time.
01Set Up the Business
LLC, general liability insurance, workers' comp, and the equipment list to start with under $2,000. Ladders, blowers, gutter scoops, and the truck setup that makes each job faster.
02Price Your Services
Flat-rate pricing by linear foot and roof pitch, add-ons for gutter guards, downspout flushing, and fascia repair — the price sheet that closes jobs on the spot.
03Build a Route Fast
Door hangers, yard signs, Nextdoor, Google Business Profile, and fall/spring seasonality campaigns. How to fill a full week of jobs within 30 days of launch.
04Add Gutter Guard Installation
The upsell that turns a $150 cleaning into a $600–$1,200 job. Products, installation training, and the sales script that converts 40%+ of cleaning customers.
05Land Property Management Accounts
Multi-unit properties that need twice-yearly gutter service across dozens of buildings — the account type that creates predictable recurring revenue.
06Hire a Crew
When to hire vs stay solo, W2 vs 1099, safety training, and the job sheet system that keeps quality consistent across multiple teams.
07Add Related Services
Window cleaning, pressure washing, dryer vent cleaning, and roof blow-offs — the service additions that increase revenue per truck without new customer acquisition.
08Scale to Multiple Trucks
Fleet routing, crew scheduling, and the dispatch workflow that runs 3+ crews per day without the owner being on every roof.
