The Gutter Guys was founded by Michael Williams
in 1988. Michael had been working in the restaurant and hospitality
business for the previous fifteen years and needed gutters
and downspouts on his new home. Amazed at the total lack of
professionalism in the gutter companies he encountered while getting
gutter installation estimates, he decided to start The Gutter Guys.
Using his extensive knowledge of and passion for customer service,
Michael's company now serves more than 300,000 happy customers throughout four mid-Atlantic states: Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Not
only did Michael develop the recipe to satisfy his customers, he also
found the right recipe to recruit and retain quality employees. While
discussing how to utilize and reward skilled employees with his business
advisor and CPA Chuck Johnson, the idea of franchising
came up. Not franchising in the normal sense, but as a way to expand
the geographic area the business served and give employees an
opportunity to become self employed while remaining with The Gutter
Guys.
Chuck was so instrumental in helping to develop a system to
give The Gutter Guys' employees a chance to become franchise owners that
he was invited to join the company. Chuck accepted and sold his
well-established accounting practice to join The Gutters Guys full
time. Since that time, we have helped twelve of our employees become
self employed franchisees of The Gutter Guys.
It's time to give yourself permission to build your days around what's important to you! You're in Control!
