Gutters, soffit & siding change

How gutters, soffit & siding businesses get jobs from permits

Gutters usually come off with the old roof, and many roofers don't put them back. Every re-roof permit is a gutter lead, and every new home is one too.

Sample The permits below are made up to show the idea. Subscribers get the real ones every morning, with the owner and contractor.

  1. 1 Re-roofs where the gutters come off

    Why it's a lead
    When the drip edge gets replaced, old gutters get pulled. The owner needs new ones the week the roof is done.
    What to do and when
    Call the roofer on the permit and offer to follow their crews. Mail the owner the same week.
    What to say
    "When your roof is done, the gutters go back up. We can be there the day after the roofers leave."

  2. 2 New homes that close without gutters

    Why it's a lead
    Some builders only gutter the front. Owners notice the first time it rains on the patio.
    What to do and when
    Mail the owner close to closing, or call the builder about adding gutters as an upgrade.
    What to say
    "A lot of new homes only get front gutters. We'll finish the rest so the patio stays dry."

  3. 3 Siding and soffit on additions

    Why it's a lead
    Matching siding on an addition is fussy work that remodelers often sub out.
    What to do and when
    Call the contractor on the permit before the addition is dried in.
    What to say
    "Need siding and soffit matched on the Pennywort addition? I can quote it from your plans."

The math

A year of the email costs $1,188. If it lands you one gutter job, it has paid for itself. Everything after that is profit.

And if your first 30 days don't pay off, you get your $99 back. You can't lose money trying it.

Next: pick your towns

You'll get re-roofs, new homes and remodels: the permits that lead to your work. You can change this any time.
