How to Sell Gutters: Sales Tips for Gutter Companies
How to sell gutters and gutter guards
In this article
To sell gutters, get in front of homeowners who have a problem (water damage, overflowing or old gutters), show them the damage and the fix, offer good, better and best options with gutter guards, give a clear written price on the spot, and follow up. Partnering with roofers brings a steady flow of ready buyers.
Step 1: Get leads
- Google Business Profile and reviews
- A website with photos and "free estimate" booking
- Roofers and remodelers
- Yard signs on finished jobs
- Door hangers after storms
Step 2: Run a great estimate
- Walk the property with the homeowner
- Point out problems: overflow, sagging, rot, foundation water, basement leaks
- Measure and take photos
- Explain what causes the damage and how new gutters fix it
Step 3: Offer options
| Option | Example |
|---|---|
| Good | Seamless 5-inch aluminium |
| Better | 6-inch gutters with bigger downspouts |
| Best | 6-inch gutters with gutter guards and a longer warranty |
Most people choose the middle or top option when they see all three.
Step 4: Handle objections
| Objection | Response |
|---|---|
| "Too expensive" | Compare to the cost of foundation and fascia repairs |
| "I'll clean them myself" | Explain guards and ladder safety |
| "Getting other quotes" | Highlight warranty, reviews and seamless quality |
Offering financing helps with larger jobs.
Step 5: Follow up
Send the quote by email the same day, then follow up after 2, 7 and 14 days.
Step 6: Partner with roofers
Roof replacements often need new gutters. Offer roofers a reliable, quick install and fair referral terms.
