He checks the forecast before anything else, because gutter work lives and dies by the weather window. The seamless machine is hitched to the trailer; he feeds a coil of aluminum and it spits out a continuous run cut to the inch, which beats sectioned gutter every time but means the trailer has to be on every job. The first stop is an install: he laser-measures the rooflines from the ground, forms end caps and miters at the corners, and sets hidden hangers along each run. Up the ladder all day, he's mindful that most contractor injuries are falls, so the standoff and stabilizer aren't optional. Midday is a cleaning job, scooping out a season of leaf sludge, and he photographs the clogged before and the clear after, because that's what justifies the bill and sells the gutter guards. A handyman quoted the same client half-price for a cash cleaning last fall, so the recurring revenue is always under threat. The afternoon install has a complicated roofline with multiple corners that he under-quoted, and he knows it. By evening he's logging linear feet against material used, scheduling the recurring cleaning clients for the right season, and watching the radar to see whether tomorrow's exterior jobs survive or get pushed.
That is the work Nexa is built around: the job, the client, the hours and the invoice live in one place, so the paperwork side of the day doesn't need a second shift.
Every one of those was bought once and earns its keep for years. Nexa is priced the same way: $279 once, and it keeps working whether business is busy or slow.

We build a gutter contractor's guide the same way every time, and we'd rather you trust it than take it on faith. Nexa is our product, so the test we hold ourselves to is simple: a tool only "wins" a job here when it genuinely does that job better for a gutter contractor — and where something free, open-source, or buy-once does it better, we say so and link you to it. Where Nexa falls short (payroll is the honest example), we name the alternative outright.
Found something out of date? Prices change and we don't catch every move the day it happens. This guide is published and maintained by the Nexa team; if a figure here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it — getting it right matters more to us than the sale.
