If you can’t get your head out of the gutter because you want to provide gutter services to your community, you’ll want to start your business off on the right foot by researching how to start these services before you hit the ground running. According to the video “How To Start A Gutter Cleaning Business (Step By Step),” gutter cleaning can enhance an existing power-washing business and upsell or cross-sell services to increase your profits. Since every home has a gutter, you can expect to have a growing customer base that will always be there no matter what happens.
Beginning a gutter service can be as simple as using existing tools you own like a powerwasher to clean your gutters or as extensive as learning how to install gutters as a separate side of your business. Regardless of how you incorporate gutter services into your business, you should make sure you follow local and federal regulations for operating your business. If you have employees, you should also make sure that you’re following the laws regarding worker’s compensation insurance. Even if you’re a sole proprietor, you still may need to have worker’s compensation insurance in case you get injured on the job when someone hires you to service their gutters. Bookkeeping is another component of starting a gutter service business.
