Eavestrough & gutters
Cleaning sold by the storey on a plan that returns twice a year, guards and seamless eavestrough by the linear foot, the hose test on the sign-off that closes an install — and a spring & fall cleaning page on your website. Daybook speaks eavestrough.
Eavestrough & gutters is a route trade, and Daybook takes the route shape for it: the house is a property rather than a job site, a visit is a visit, a new job opens as a recurring plan rather than a one-off, and the schedule leads with the map — a day of cleanouts is an order of houses before it is a list of times. The service types then say where the route stops and the ladder work starts — gutter cleaning and commercial & multi-unit come back, while gutter guards, new eavestrough, downspouts & drainage, repairs and soffit & fascia are single jobs. Three forms, a starter price list from the per-visit clean to the hidden hanger, and an eavestrough website come with them. The shape sets a default, never a rule.
What earns its keep is that both kinds of work leave a record without anyone writing a report. A cleaning visit logs the runs cleared, how heavy the debris was, whether the downspouts flush, and what was found up there — a sagging run, a leaking seam or end cap, a loose hanger, a lifted guard, fascia rot, ice damage, a nest, or nothing at all — so next month’s repair quote is written from the roof edge rather than from memory. An install or a repair closes on a different form, and closes properly: the job cannot be marked done until the hose test says every run drains with no drips at the seams, the old material is gone, the photos are on and the customer has signed.
On top of everything Daybook does for every trade — the full list is here — eavestrough & gutter gets its own tools.
A new job opens as a recurring plan, not a one-off — set a cadence and the days it lands on, and the visits fill the schedule three months out and top themselves up as each one is marked done. A guard install, a new run, a downspout or a fascia repair stays a single job, because that is what it is.
The day’s houses come up numbered in the order you will drive them, the whole run’s drive time and distance sitting over the list. Drag a stop to move it, or let it work out the shortest run and say what the new order saves. The calendar is one tap away for the week the install crew is out.
A property setup sheet from the walk — storeys, the linear feet, how many downspouts, gutter type, guards already on, where each downspout discharges, and what to watch for from skylights and solar panels to a low service mast; a cleaning visit log per visit; and an install & repair sign-off with the hose test, the haul-away and a signature — attached to the right jobs automatically.
Cleaning per visit by the storey and by the foot, downspout flushes, guard lift-and-cleans, spring & fall and fall-only plans, commercial by the building per visit or per year, guards and seamless eavestrough by the linear foot, tear-offs, downspouts, extensions and underground tie-ins, reseals, re-hangs, hangers, mitres, ice damage and heat cable, fascia capping and vented soffit, coil and hardware, the gutter machine and the lift by the day, debris disposal and the height premium — a labelled starter list on day one, with your own prices on it.
Spring & fall, fall only, property manager and commercial as client tiers; cleaning, guards, new eavestrough, downspouts, repair, soffit & fascia and commercial as job specialties; referral, repeat customer, neighbour on the route, roofer and property manager as marketing sources — seeded on day one, yours to edit.
Eavestrough and run, linear foot and storey, downspout, extension, flush, seamless, guard, route and property — drafts and job summaries use a gutter contractor’s vocabulary, and the auto-classifier knows that an overflowing gutter with nothing broken is a cleaning while a sagging or pulled-away one is a repair, that spring, fall or every year means the plan, and that a plaza, a strata or a property manager is commercial whatever the work is.
This is not copy — it is what the app says to eavestrough & gutter businesses, word for word. Most trades see the left-hand word; you see the right.
Your account starts with a real eavestrough & gutters site template — a spring & fall cleaning page included, laid out as the steps of a visit — edit it in the app, and the quote form asks the storeys and the trees before the lead lands in Daybook.
Your own houses beat any feature list — log a clean, write down what you found up there and quote the repair off it.
