The Brothers That Just Do Gutters is a specialized home-services franchise focused on gutter installation, replacement, repair, maintenance, gutter guards, and related exterior services for residential and commercial properties.
Rather than trying to be a general contractor that performs many unrelated home-improvement services, the company has built its brand around specializing in one important part of a property: the gutter system.
The concept’s philosophy is centered around what the company calls “Reinventing Contractor Service.” The goal is to differentiate the business not only through the work performed, but also through professionalism, communication, customer service, estimating, scheduling, and the overall customer experience.
From an ownership perspective, this is not designed to be a franchise where the owner personally spends every day installing gutters. The stronger model is to build crews, estimators, sales systems, marketing, and management so the owner can concentrate on developing and growing the business.
The franchise participates in a large and relatively fragmented home-services industry where many competitors are small independent contractors. That creates an opportunity for a professionally managed franchise operation to differentiate itself through branding, systems, customer service, and consistent execution.
The Brothers That Just Do Gutters began as a small gutter business in New York in 1999.
The founders recognized that the home-services and contracting industry had a reputation problem. Homeowners frequently complained about contractors who failed to return calls, arrived late, provided poor communication, or delivered an inconsistent customer experience.
Instead of competing solely on gutter installation, the company focused on creating a more professional contracting experience.
That philosophy eventually became known as “Reinventing Contractor Service.”
As the company developed systems for sales, estimating, installation, employee development, marketing, and customer service, the business evolved into a franchise concept.
Franchising began around 2014, and the system has since expanded into markets across the United States.
Today, the franchise combines its gutter specialization with a broader goal of building professional local home-service organizations rather than simply creating jobs for individual installers.
The Brothers That Just Do Gutters may be particularly attractive to someone who wants to build a scalable home-services company rather than personally perform the technical work.
The ideal owner should enjoy managing people.
As the business grows, success depends on recruiting, training, and retaining installation crews, estimators, salespeople, office personnel, and potentially managers.
Sales and marketing skills can also be extremely valuable.
Gutter replacement and gutter-guard projects can represent meaningful homeowner expenditures. Owners who understand lead conversion, estimating, follow-up, customer service, referral generation, and local marketing may have an advantage.
The business may also appeal to corporate executives transitioning into entrepreneurship because many of their existing skills, leadership, budgeting, hiring, performance management, sales, and operations, can transfer into the franchise.
The strongest candidate is probably someone who wants to build an organization, not someone who wants to personally install gutters every day.
This franchise may be less appropriate for someone seeking a passive investment from day one or someone uncomfortable managing field employees and home-service customers.
The Brothers That Just Do Gutters provides franchisees with training and support designed to teach both the technical and business sides of the operation.

Because labor and sales are critical components of the model, candidates should pay particular attention during validation to the quality of recruiting support, installer training, sales training, and lead-generation systems.
The Brothers That Just Do Gutters does not generally function as a direct lender, but qualified candidates may have several financing options available.
Potential funding sources may include:
SBA loans
Conventional business loans
Personal savings
Retirement-plan business funding (ROBS)
Home-equity financing

Because the business requires vehicles, equipment, employees, marketing, and working capital, candidates should avoid undercapitalizing the operation.
The amount shown in Item 7 should be considered carefully, particularly the working-capital component, and candidates should ask existing franchisees how much cash they actually needed before reaching consistent positive cash flow.

An independent assessment from your franchise consultant
Steve Warres, Franchise ConsultantThe Brothers That Just Do Gutters is the type of home-services franchise that I believe deserves serious consideration from candidates who want to build a larger operating company rather than simply purchase themselves a job.
One thing I like about specialized home-service businesses is that the customer immediately understands what the company does. The brand isn't trying to perform twenty unrelated services. Gutters are the primary focus, allowing the company to develop specialized training, equipment, marketing, and operational systems around that category.
The current financial performance information also gets my attention.
The 2026 FDD reports average Gross Sales of approximately $1.15 million among 71 operational franchise outlets, with median sales slightly above $1 million.
Those are meaningful numbers, particularly considering an initial investment beginning around $145,000.
However, revenue alone never determines whether I consider a franchise attractive.
I would want to understand labor costs, lead-generation expenses, close rates, gross margins, vehicle expenses, management costs, royalties, marketing fees, and actual owner-level profitability.
I would also want to know why certain franchisees substantially outperform others.
This is a franchise where I would encourage a candidate to speak with owners at several different performance levels before making a decision.
Bottom line: The Brothers That Just Do Gutters is a home-services franchise that I believe is worth investigating for candidates who want to build a team-based, scalable service company rather than personally perform all of the work themselves.
The concept benefits from specialization. Instead of being another general home-improvement company, the brand focuses primarily on gutter systems and related exterior solutions. That makes the service easy for consumers to understand and allows the franchise system to build its training, marketing, equipment, and operations around a defined category.
The current financial performance information is also encouraging.
According to the 2026 FDD, 71 operational franchise outlets averaged approximately $1.15 million in Gross Sales during 2025, with median sales of approximately $1.0 million.
More mature multi-territory locations also show interesting performance. The seven reporting multi-territory businesses operating for more than five years averaged approximately $1.52 million.
Those numbers are meaningful when compared with an estimated initial investment of approximately $145,250–$285,000 for the base offering.
However, gross revenue should never be confused with owner profit.
This is a labor-intensive home-services business. Payroll, installation crews, vehicles, materials, marketing, royalties, system fees, insurance, and management expenses can consume a significant portion of revenue.
For that reason, the most important part of due diligence is determining what mature franchisees are actually keeping after all operating expenses.
I would also pay particular attention to employee recruitment and retention. A franchise owner can generate plenty of leads, but without reliable installers and strong crew management, it can be difficult to convert that demand into profitable growth.
Competition is another factor. Gutters have relatively low barriers to entry, and independent contractors can often compete aggressively on price. The franchise owner therefore needs to win through professionalism, marketing, customer service, reputation, sales execution, and operational consistency.
Overall, I consider The Brothers That Just Do Gutters a strong home-services franchise worth serious investigation.
I particularly like it for candidates with management, sales, operations, or leadership backgrounds who want to build teams and eventually manage the business rather than work in the field.
The combination of a specialized service, moderate initial investment, established franchise system, meaningful Item 19 data, and potential for multi-territory growth makes the opportunity attractive.
Before recommending that a candidate move forward, however, I would want franchisee validation to confirm three things: healthy operating margins, manageable labor challenges, and attractive owner-level profitability after all franchise and operating expenses.
If those three areas check out, The Brothers That Just Do Gutters could be a very compelling franchise for the right owner and market.
