This is a good business to start as it is simple and all you have to do is learn how to handle a ladder like a pro, conquer your fear of heights and understand the importance of rainwater control. The home owner will pay a suprisingly decent amount of money for a service call to have somebody come by with a ladder, run around the yard, blow the roof off, clean the gutters and check downspouts for clogs. Success in this business is the art of great customer service for the proud home owner. They will pay more to have moss treated and your can expand the business to include window cleaning and roof cleaning. I've been doing this for many years and it pays quite well. I do very little marketing as most jobs are repeat clients and referrals.

@@ek9826 Because the whole purpose of guttering is to redirect water away from the edges of the house. With my house, for example, there's a curtain of water running off the roof across the front entrance when it rains, making entry and exit difficult. Gutters will cure this (when they get installed WEEKS from now - there's a metal shortage now). In other cases, some houses suffer from foundation or basement damage from water accumulating from roof runoff. Gutters, downspouts, and runoff systems will direct the water away from the foundation, saving lots of money and headaches.
