Gutter Contractor Software in Alabama

Gutters are a volume game. You're doing two or three installs a day, pricing by linear foot, juggling 5" K-style and 6" half-round, and every third call is about leaf guards. ExteriorPro lets you quote from the truck, drop in downspouts and guards as line items, route the crew to the next stop, and bill the customer before you've packed up. If you run recurring cleaning contracts, those live in here too — no more sticky notes telling you who needs a fall cleanout.

Two or three installs a day across Alabama means pricing has to come out of the truck, not the office. ExteriorPro lets you quote, schedule, and invoice from a phone.

From $199/month per location. No credit card required to start.

Rain is the reason a lot of gutter work exists in Alabama. Sally came ashore at Gulf Shores on September 16, 2020 moving under five miles an hour and dropped 15 to 30 inches on Baldwin County, with 29.99 inches at Orange Beach, and a gutter that was fine for a normal storm ran over for a day. Six-inch gutters and oversized downspouts are the Alabama spec, and where the water goes matters as much as catching it. The red clay under Birmingham and the dark clay of the Black Belt around Montgomery swell when they are wet and shrink when they are dry, and a downspout that dumps beside the foundation moves the house.

Storms do the rest. The tornado outbreak of April 27, 2011 took gutters off with the roofs across the middle of the state, and hail dents aluminum most springs. After a storm the dents along the front face are among the first things an adjuster photographs, and a gutter company that documents them well ends up attached to a lot of roof claims. The hangers only hold if the fascia does, so a gutter company checks the fascia for rot and termites before it hangs a run.

The trees keep the work coming. Alabama is pine country from Huntsville to the coast, and pine needles slide through the guards made for leaves and pack the downspouts, while the oaks and pecans fill gutters in a few weeks each fall. Seamless aluminum in five and six inch K-style is nearly all of the residential work, formed on site from coil, and the work runs all year.

Licensing is by the dollar. A gutter job alone rarely reaches the $10,000 line for a home builder license, but a company that also roofs needs the roofers license the moment a roofing job passes $2,500, with a $10,000 bond behind it. Any sale made in the home carries the three-business-day right to cancel. The statewide residential code is enforced only where a city or county runs a program, so whether anyone inspects the work depends on the address.

Every trade, one price

Roofing, siding, windows, and gutters are all included at one price per location — so a crew that adds a second trade doesn't change what they pay.
