Hudson Valley, NY, Aug 31, 2019 -- Most entrepreneurs boldly leap forward with their business venture. They<br />
are giddy with enthusiasm <strong>and</strong> gifted with trade skills. The problem that quick arises is that they have severely<br />
limited business <strong>and</strong> management skills.<br />
This is where <strong>Brothers</strong> <strong>Gutters</strong>, a national franchise, is helping transform previously struggling mom <strong>and</strong> pop<br />
independent businesses with their new <strong>Retrofit</strong> <strong>Free</strong> <strong>Flow</strong> <strong>Division</strong>.<br />
The idea of buying a franchise often conjures up the image of a business-minded individual recognizing a<br />
profitable opportunity in an industry they don’t necessarily have any more first-h<strong>and</strong> experience with besides<br />
that of a customer, like coffee, s<strong>and</strong>wiches, convenience stores, lawn care <strong>and</strong> a host of others.<br />
<strong>Brothers</strong> <strong>Gutters</strong>, a home improvement franchise based out of Hudson Valley, New York is redefining this<br />
tradition. They are helping gifted gutter contractors with support, strategy, training <strong>and</strong> on-dem<strong>and</strong> guidance<br />
that allow them to push their operation forward instead of simply treading water.<br />
Nathan Hiebert of <strong>Brothers</strong> <strong>Gutters</strong> San Antonio, Texas had been running a successful independent roofing<br />
turned specialized gutter contracting business with his wife Cara since 2002 but found difficulty in exp<strong>and</strong>ing<br />
their operation <strong>and</strong> managing time spent on the jobsite <strong>and</strong> in the office. Through extensive research, Nathan<br />
came across <strong>Brothers</strong> <strong>Gutters</strong>. Nathan recalls his thought process, “Just because they are in our industry<br />
doesn’t mean they are good. In my research though, it was pretty much a perfect match with my goals. My<br />
weaknesses were covered by the strengths of the business systems.” Now, he’s steadily growing his operation<br />
one truck a time.<br />
Peter Aw<strong>and</strong>o worked on <strong>and</strong> off for <strong>Brothers</strong> <strong>Gutters</strong> in a variety of roles for over a decade. During this time, he<br />
achieved his MBA in Business Management <strong>and</strong> experimented with other business ventures. His advanced<br />
education <strong>and</strong> first-h<strong>and</strong> experience eventually lead him to the conclusion that becoming a <strong>Brothers</strong> <strong>Gutters</strong><br />
franchise owner was the most viable solution for him to reach his entrepreneurial goals. He explains, “I’ve seen<br />
the system work, <strong>and</strong> I’ve seen others be successful using it. Because of this, there is no other logical choice
for me than to open become a ‘Brother that just does <strong>Gutters</strong>’”<br />
<strong>Brothers</strong> <strong>Gutters</strong> seamlessly integrates the traditional foundations of best business practices including<br />
extensive training both classroom <strong>and</strong> in the field, ease of communication <strong>and</strong> transparency with state-of-the-art<br />
technology like field iPads, detailed progress reports, digital photos <strong>and</strong> live geo-locations of crews <strong>and</strong> their<br />
project. They’ve also invested heavily in an in-house marketing staff, partnerships with web developers <strong>and</strong><br />
public relation specialists to keep the <strong>Brothers</strong> <strong>Gutters</strong> br<strong>and</strong> strong <strong>and</strong> in front of the right customers.<br />
You don’t have to be a gutter expert to run a successful <strong>Brothers</strong> <strong>Gutters</strong> franchise. The fact that those in the<br />
industry choose to elevate their business using their proprietary system is simply a testament to the br<strong>and</strong>’s<br />
effectiveness. <strong>Brothers</strong> <strong>Gutters</strong> has helped individuals from a diverse set of professional backgrounds find a<br />
profitable business with room for growth. For example, Luke Smith of <strong>Brothers</strong> <strong>Gutters</strong> Chattahoochee Valley,<br />
Georgia had spent time working in lawn care <strong>and</strong> other service industry jobs before deciding to open his<br />
franchise location. Using the <strong>Brothers</strong> <strong>Gutters</strong> system <strong>and</strong> his own skills, he was able to find great success <strong>and</strong><br />
is currently planning to exp<strong>and</strong> his territory.<br />

<strong>Brothers</strong> <strong>Gutters</strong> was born out of Ken Parson’s vision for a better contracting service than the ones operating in<br />
his market <strong>and</strong> beyond. While working as a gutter installer for another company summers between teaching<br />
History in 1996, he determined exactly what qualities such an operation should embody. In 1999 his plans were<br />
solidified with the opening of what is now called <strong>Brothers</strong> <strong>Gutters</strong>.<br />
After extensive campaigning, Ken was able to recruit his brother, Ryan to join him as the co-owner <strong>and</strong> Chief<br />
Solutionist© of their growing operation. The siblings essentially threw their higher education into the gutter <strong>and</strong><br />
haven’t looked back since.<br />

realize the American Dream by opening <strong>Brothers</strong> <strong>Gutters</strong> franchises of their own. Today, there are 10 <strong>Brothers</strong><br />
