The Overlooked Add-On That Could Boost Your Bottom Line

Why premium gutter protection belongs in every contractor’s toolkit.

4 MIN READ

In today’s market, contractors face mounting pressure to do more with less. Whether navigating higher material costs, tighter timelines, or smaller crews, every hour and every dollar on the job site counts.  Savvy exterior contractors—whether for roofing, siding, window installation, or even power-washing—are turning to gutter protection as a reliable and profitable add-on that delivers value to both their clients and their bottom line.

Adding a premium gutter protection product like LeafBlaster Pro to your core offerings can boost your bottom line, keep your crew busy in the off-season, and help you create long-term relationships with clients—all while offering a real solution to a real need for homeowners.

A Growing Opportunity

Despite uncertainty with consumer spending, preventative home-improvement spending remains strong. According to the latest Leading Indicator of Remodeling Activity (LIRA) report by the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies, year-over-year spending on home renovation and repair will increase by 2.5 percent. But it’s not just big remodels driving the market. With high interest rates and aging housing stock, homeowners are increasingly focused on targeted updates that improve protection, convenience, and quality of time.

That’s where gutter guards come in. LeafBlaster Pro is designed for quick deployment and flexibility across most gutter and roof types, meaning contractors can install it as part of a larger job without slowing down their crew or delaying timelines.

Why They Make Sense for Contractors

For remodelers, roofers, and exterior pros, gutter guard installations can be a seamless extension of the work you’re already doing. Thousands of pros already rely on value-add solutions like Leaf Blaster Pro as a consistent revenue booster. They’re quick to install—a trained crew can complete most installations in a few hours. And with minimal materials and labor, profit margins can outpace those of larger projects. They’re also easy to bundle—whether you’re repairing a roof, replacing gutters, or cleaning siding, gutter guards are a natural upsell. And because they’re affordable for homeowners and reduce future maintenance, they’re an easier “yes” in today’s cautious spending environment.

The Value to Homeowners

Your customers may not ask for gutter guards by name, but they care about what they offer: low-maintenance protection from water damage, fire risk, and clogged gutters. “Customers don’t want to worry about cleaning their gutters twice a year, or after a big storm,” says Jennifer Jenkins, Vice President of Sales at Gutterglove. “Offering a solution that prevents debris buildup, deters pests, and helps extend the life of the home’s exterior just makes sense.” Helping clients understand these benefits positions you as a trusted advisor, not just a contractor.

Picking the Right Partner

If you’re going to offer gutter protection, then you want to choose a product that matches your brand’s standards. Contractors should look for durable, high-performing materials like stainless steel and aluminum, compatibility with various roof and gutter systems, and strong manufacturer support.

LeafBlaster Pro’s appeal goes beyond its durability and sleek profile. Its Contractor Loyalty Program offers pros exclusive access to training, marketing resources, perks and rewards, and dedicated support, helping pros close more deals.  This program reflects the kind of partnership that can truly grow your business, not just sell more products.

“At Gutterglove, we see our contractors as true partners,” said Jenkins. “Our goal is to make it easier for them to grow their business by offering quality products at different price points and supporting them through our loyalty program. That way, they can focus on doing great work and increasing their profits.”

A Small Add-On with A Big Upside

As contractors look for ways to build resilience and profitability into their businesses, value-adds like gutter protection are becoming vitally important. They boost revenue without boosting overhead, improve the customer experience, and make every job more profitable. Whether you’re contracted for a full exterior renovation or a one-day service job, adding gutter protection like LeafBlaster Pro helps you do more with the time you have and deliver results homeowners will appreciate.
