Gutter Cleaning face unique challenges: Setting and re-setting the ladder dozens of times around a house on uneven, soft ground. Downspouts clogged solid with packed leaves and shingle grit that won't flush. Customers who only call after the gutter has already overflowed and rotted the fascia. Wasps and bald-faced hornet nests tucked behind the gutter or in the soffit. On top of all that, Housecall Pro charges $99/month ($1,188/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median Gutter Cleaning Technician earns $38,000/year. Software at $1,188/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.

First job is a two-story colonial buried under maple leaves after a windy week, so I level the ladder on the soft lawn, add the stabilizer so I'm not denting the gutter, and start scooping by hand into a bucket clipped to the rungs. Every ten feet I'm climbing down and moving the ladder, which is most of the actual work. The back corner downspout is packed solid, so I snake it from the top and then flush with the hose until it runs clear. There's a paper-wasp nest tucked under the gutter lip on the south side, so I back off and deal with that before I get stung off the ladder. Second stop is a ranch with gutter guards the homeowner thinks mean they never need cleaning, but fine grit has built up under them, so I lift sections and vac it out. After lunch a customer calls because her gutter is overflowing and the fascia board is already soft and rotting, a problem she could have caught months ago, so I clean it and flag the wood damage for a referral. The last house is a steep three-story I do from the ground with a water-fed pole and a camera so I'm not on a forty-foot ladder. I finish by flushing every downspout to prove they drain, bag the debris, and rinse the driveway clean.
