Free Gutter Installer
Service Agreement
One leaky seam or a botched pitch turns your profit into a five-figure foundation repair lawsuit. If you don't have a signed paper, you're just a guy on a ladder working for free when the homeowner decides to ghost your final invoice.
Pro Contractor Tip
Insert a 'Hidden Conditions' clause so you don't get stuck replacing rotted fascia boards on your own dime once the old tin comes off.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Gutter Installer, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
The client wants me to 'just check' the roof while I'm up there—should I do it?
Scope creep is a profit killer; use your written agreement to define exactly where your job ends so you aren't liable for a leaky roof you never touched.
How do I handle homeowners who claim the gutters are 'loud' and refuse to pay?
Put an 'Environmental Noise' disclaimer in your contract stating that water movement makes sound; it gives you a document to point to when they try to use physics as an excuse to withhold your check.
What if the fascia is too rotted to hold a screw and the client isn't home?
Stop the clock. Your contract should state that structural issues halt production, protecting you from hanging a system that’s guaranteed to fail and fall off the house.
