Gutters are a need, NOT a want!

Founded by Ken and Ryan Parsons, The Brothers That Just Do Gutters have been industry leaders since 1999, revolutionizing the gutter business. Recognizing a significant gap between low-cost, fast-paced owner/operators and overpriced gutter guard distributors with high-pressure sales tactics, the Parsons brothers franchised their business in 2015 to offer a superior alternative. The Brothers That Just Do Gutters are dedicated to delivering top-tier service in an industry often known for subpar standards. With their mantra, “Reinventing Contractor Service,” they consistently provide 5-Star service in what many consider a 1-Star industry. Their proven business model bridges the gap between affordability and quality, setting a new standard for customer satisfaction in the gutter industry.

Is this Executive Model Ownership friendly?

Yes, while your Managing Owner leads full-time in the early months, the brand's own model is built toward Executive Model Ownership after your first three to six months, once you've hired and trained a qualified manager to run daily operations, a path many owners use as they add territories.

Source: FDD Item 15; brothersfranchise.com
How long is the franchise agreement term, and can it be renewed?

Are financing options available?

While Brothers That Just Do Gutters doesn't offer in-house financing, owners typically line up their own funding such as an SBA loan, and many find it well worth exploring given the strength of the investment.

Do I need employees, or can I run this solo?

Your Managing Owner leads full-time and most owners build a crew as the territory grows, with training covering hiring and onboarding so you're set up to lead a team from the start.

Source: FDD Items 9 and 15
Can I own multiple territories or units?

Yes, multi-unit ownership is the norm here, with 66 of the system's 71 operational outlets in 2025 running multiple territories, and the per-territory franchise fee steps down the more you add, from $49,500 down to $28,583 for a 12th.
