It does not take very much to start a gutter cleaning business, but many of them do not grow or end up going out of business. Here are some tips to make sure that your business is successful and growing.
1. Focus on providing quality work on every job. If a satisfied customer refers you to all their friends and neighbors, you will probably get a lot more future jobs than advertising in the phonebook, putting up fliers or knocking on doors. Someone is more likely to hire you when you come recommended by someone they know and trust.
2. Try to set up regular cleanings. You can offer discounts and preferred dates and times to anyone who schedules multiple gutter cleanings at one time. You will have a good idea of how long a house takes and what the job will be like if you regularly clean it, making it easier for you to be efficient and do more jobs.
3. Expand beyond gutter cleaning. Offer to install filters over the downspouts and guards over the gutters or repair and replace old, damaged or worn out gutters and downspouts for an additional charge. Be upfront about your pricing and honest about what needs to be done. Since you are already there to clean the gutters, the time spent on the additional jobs will be less than it would otherwise be.
4. Hire additional employees. Whether the workload is getting to be too much or you do not have the time to advertise, hiring extra people can bring in enough additional work to more than make up for their salaries. Having seasonal help will probably make the most sense. Be careful not to try to expand too quickly or beyond what you can manage or it could backfire.
5. Maintain a professional image and a quality reputation. Always represent your company well and make sure that any employees do too. Being known for reliable, quality and professional service will make a huge difference as you seek out new customers and retain the ones you have.
