That rant is something we all need to hear every once in awhile
My brother! Keep killin it👍🏼
Many homeowners get estimates, you have to be competitive. offer free minor repairs. After a few years, I did not have to advertise as I had my regulars and all new customers was word of mouth. Yeah, you do burn out after doing this type of work.
That’s where you can delegate people👍🏼
Cheers for the free game bro, starting my journey tmrw these tips are a great help cuz
GO GET IT
My hat is off to you guys. That has to be a dirty and possibly dangerous job cleaning gutters. One minor point, I would think using a battery operated blower would be better than gas powered when on a roof. Some gutters that haven't been cleaned in a long time are just a sludge of dirt, mold, etc. No thank you.
I appreciate that! It’s tough work for sure
In my area everyone charges 100-160$ so charging higher is harder
Sell better
I just started out, so i sold 3 jobs for $100 each today. Not going to keeo charging that low but i needed some money!
Hello, do you rake up the leafs that get blown on the ground?
Yes
Well said!
My GUY!
Sir I’m 16 and want to try this in the spring will I need to sign up for a llc or any insurance to get started or can I get started without any of these requirements
I’d recommend starting with friends and family that will let you do it on their home,
But then if you’re starting to work with strangers yeah I’d get an LLC and insurance
You don't need an LLC to start, you can start out as a sole proprietorship
Another problem is the wrong people are trying to start a business. It’s not for everyone some people are meant to be employees. It’s a certain type of personality and drive and charisma and charm and wits to score jobs and make people happy. It’s not a bad thing to be an employee so don’t get ur head down if that’s you. It’s okay. Running a business isn’t all sunshine and rainbows, being an employee is pretty chill with not a lot of stress or anything on the line, cuz it’s not ur ass it’s ur bosses.
You have to have some balls and be willing to lose money in the beginning on advertising.
I agree!
@DrakeAWilson you dont even have to advertise...word of mouth, do this with other side hustles
This is wack, anyone can run a business with the right knowledge. There are many philosophies and approaches to running a business that work, there's something for everyone
@@kh.754 completely disagree. My best friend just wants to be an employee. There many people like him and there’s nothing wrong with that.
Do you know anyone that goes south from the north to wash during the winter? I’m thinking about doing this just changing my website gmb and everything to say serving SE WI spring-fall and SWFL in winter months
Love the content, looking to get started
Do it fam!
Just gotta outlast these seasonal "just get it done" hustlers.
They'll come and go
Great info
My G
When you offer gutter cleaning and pressure washing and several other services, how do you approach the customer without bombarding them with all the offers?
I just say hey we offer ____ noticed that you have algae growth right there and we can take care of it while we’re here
I made flyers/postcards that have ALL our business info Including a list of services. I hand it to every job before I start so they have information on hand during the service. I can guarantee that you will get asked about another service before you leave. It’s no pressure and they usually put it on their fridge or whatever and call you later. Make it pretty to look at! Thank me later.
Thats a good tip!@@lordrush4453
So with that minimum gutter cleaning job $250 price what is included in that
Cleaning gutters my G💪🏼
Nobody in my area would be able to pay that much
Wow you cleaned the same roof on this video like 50 times lots of money.
I want to do gutter cleaning me and my friend want to do it together but we just don’t know how to tell our parents I’m scared my mom won’t let me
(Were 13)
Ask em,
What’s the worst they say?
No.?
@@Tristan.Kalina I don’t know what to say

That black guy is going to look back one day and laugh at himself about how he was doing that job. But a least he had the courage to get started and the drive to continue
He’s a G!
