Gutter Contractor Software in Florida

A lot of Florida houses have no gutters at all, and that is the sale. The summer storms drop an inch in an afternoon most days from June to September, the houses sit on slabs, and the water that comes off a roof edge digs a trench in the sand and finds its way under the slab or into the lanai. A gutter company in Florida spends half its year putting gutters on houses that never had them, and six-inch gutters with oversized downspouts are the spec, because a five-inch gutter overflows at the corners in a Florida storm.

Hurricanes take them back off. Ian came ashore in southwest Florida on September 28, 2022 at 150 miles an hour, Helene and Milton hit the Gulf side thirteen days apart in 2024, and a gutter run that is not hung on heavy-duty hangers spaced tight is in the yard by morning. The hangers only hold if the fascia does, so a gutter company checks the fascia for rot and termites before it hangs a run, and after a storm the torn runs are on the same claim as the roof.

Florida licenses by trade, not by dollar. Gutters and downspouts fall inside the state's specialty structure license along with siding, soffit, and fascia, and a company that hangs gutters in Florida holds a state or county license to do it. Florida treats unlicensed contracting as a crime. Florida's roof claim rules are written for roof contracts, but paying or waiving a deductible is a felony on any contract, and the homeowner has three business days to cancel any sale made in the home.

The trees keep the work coming in waves. The live oaks drop their leaves in spring, the pines drop needles all year that slide through the guards made for leaves, and the palms drop fronds that no guard was built for. 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.
