The problem in gutter and pressure washing

Most companies in this trade start with a phone, a notes app and a spreadsheet. That works at fifty jobs a year and falls apart at five hundred:

  • No property memory. A customer calls back in the fall and you can't remember if their house is two stories or three, whether they have guards, or what you charged. So you quote from scratch, or worse, quote differently than last time.
  • No re-booking engine. The spring customer who loved your work should be on the fall schedule automatically. Without a system, repeat business depends on them remembering you.
  • Routes built by hand. Jobs get booked in the order the phone rings, so crews crisscross the county. On a low-ticket job, drive time eats margin fast.
  • Leads in five places. Website forms, Facebook messages, Google calls, texts to your cell and the occasional door hanger response. Some get answered twice, some never.
  • Commercial work gets buried. A property manager with twelve buildings is worth more than any single homeowner, but their quote sits in the same pile.

What we build for gutter and pressure washing companies

  1. Property-based contact records. Custom fields for stories, footage, guards, surface types, access notes and service history, so anyone in the office can quote a returning customer in seconds.
  2. A residential pipeline built for speed. Short stages that match a fast sale: New Inquiry, Quoted, Booked, Completed, Review Requested. No five-step sales process for a one-visit job.
  3. A service plan pipeline. For customers on spring-and-fall or annual plans: Plan Sold, Visit 1 Scheduled, Visit 1 Done, Visit 2 Scheduled, Visit 2 Done, Renewal Due.
  4. A commercial pipeline. Separate stages for site walk, proposal, approval and recurring schedule, with multiple properties linked to one account contact.
  5. Calendar and area grouping. Booking calendars and tags by town or zone, so the office can fill a Tuesday in one area before opening slots somewhere else.
  6. One team inbox. Calls, texts, web forms and social messages in one place, assigned to a person, with a clear unanswered view.
  7. Monthly cleanup and management. Duplicate merges, dead lead cleanup, and tuning stages and fields as you add services like guard installs or holiday lighting.

How it works

  1. Map your process. We document how a lead becomes a finished job today, including the shortcuts and the messy parts.
  2. Build the pipeline. We configure stages, custom fields, forms, calendars and automations around that process.
  3. Migrate and train. We import your existing customer list, clean it up, and attach service history where you have it. Then we train the people who'll use it every day.
  4. Manage month to month. If you choose ongoing management, we keep the data clean and adjust the system each season.

Our main platform is GoHighLevel, but we'll recommend what fits.

What to look for (even if you don't hire us)

Whatever CRM you choose, check these before you commit:

  • Can you search by address? In this trade the house is often more important than the person.
  • Can you filter customers by last service date and season? That's the list your re-booking runs on.
  • Does it handle recurring plans? You want two visits per year tracked as one relationship, not two random jobs.
  • Will your crews actually use it on a phone? Have a crew lead mark a job complete during the demo.
  • Can it tag or group jobs by area? If you can't see which bookings are near each other, route planning stays manual.
  • Can you export your data anytime? Your customer list is the business.
