Gutter work is deceptively simple from the outside — a crew rolls up, measures the run, and installs a few sections of aluminum. Then you look at the actual operations: linear-foot pricing for seamless K-style versus half-round, gutter-guard add-ons billed by the foot, downspout extensions at a different per-unit rate, and fascia repair tacked on when the crew finds rot. Add in the seasonal rhythm of cleaning season in October and February, warranty claims from last year's installs, and the reality that you are running three two-person trucks through a dense subdivision where each stop takes 40 minutes, and you need software that understands the trade.

This guide compares the five platforms gutter companies most commonly evaluate in 2026: ServiceTitan, Jobber, Housecall Pro, FieldPulse, and Deelo. What each gets right, where each falls short, and how to think about total cost for a 3-to-10 crew operation.

What Gutter Companies Actually Need From Software

  • Linear-foot + add-on quoting: Separate line items for 5" K-style, 6" K-style, half-round copper, gutter guards by the foot, downspouts by the piece, elbow counts, and fascia repair billed hourly or by linear foot.
  • Route clustering for dense neighborhoods: When you are installing gutters on seven houses in one cul-de-sac, the scheduler should recognize that and pack them into one truck-day.
  • Seasonal cleaning reminders: Customers who bought install in June need a cleaning reminder the following October, and another in February. Missing those is lost revenue.
  • Warranty tracking: Most installers offer a 5-to-20 year workmanship warranty. You need a searchable record tied to the customer, job, and crew foreman.
  • On-site card-reader invoicing: Residential customers expect to pay on the spot. The foreman needs a tablet or phone that can take a card without calling the office.
  • Photo documentation: Before and after shots for every job, including shots of the miters, hidden hangers, and downspout connections — critical for warranty disputes.

1. Deelo — All-in-One for the Gutter Trade

Deelo takes a different angle. Rather than a field-service-only product, it is an all-in-one business platform where gutter companies use Field Service for dispatch and crew assignment, Invoicing for on-site card-reader payments, CRM for lead and customer records, Scheduling for route-clustered work, Docs for warranty certificates, and Marketing for seasonal cleaning reminder campaigns.

Line-item pricing handles the full gutter price book: 5" K-style, 6" K-style, half-round copper, seamless aluminum in painted finishes, gutter guards by brand (LeafFilter-style, foam, mesh, reverse curve), downspouts, elbows, hidden hangers, and fascia repair. Custom fields on the job record capture LF installed, product color, and warranty duration so the 10-year call-back is easy to find.

The automation engine handles seasonal work: every customer who had an install between April and August gets an automated reminder email in late September offering fall cleaning, and another in late January for ice-dam season inspection. Warranty tracking is a custom object linked to the original job, searchable by customer, address, or foreman.

At $19/seat/month on the Starter plan, a 3-truck gutter shop with 6 total seats (office + crew leads) runs the entire operation for $114/month. That is marketing, CRM, field service, invoicing, scheduling, documents, and e-signature in one platform. The trade-off: Deelo is not pre-configured for gutter work. You invest a day setting up your price book, warranty template, and seasonal reminder automations. For shops willing to do that setup once, the all-in-one economics are hard to beat.

2. Jobber — The Small Shop Default

Jobber has been the go-to for residential gutter shops under 10 trucks for years. Quoting handles line-item pricing cleanly — you set up a price book with 5" K-style at $8/LF, 6" K-style at $10/LF, gutter guards at $9/LF, and downspouts at $35/piece, and estimates calculate on the fly. The mobile app is crew-friendly, scheduling is visual, and the customer-facing booking page is one of the best in the category.

Where Jobber falls short for gutter: route optimization is basic. When you are packing a truck-day in a dense neighborhood, you still end up manually reordering stops. Seasonal follow-up is possible through client reminders but it is manual to set up. Pricing starts at $49/mo for the Core plan but the features most gutter shops need — GPS tracking, two-way text, automated quote follow-ups — sit in the Connect ($129/mo) or Grow ($249/mo) tiers.

3. Housecall Pro — Consumer-Side Polish

Housecall Pro is the platform to beat on the consumer experience. The customer gets a polished confirmation text, an on-the-way notification with the tech's photo, and a branded invoice they can pay in one tap. Built-in payments, including card-on-file and financing options, are excellent for the residential gutter market where emergency repair after a storm often needs financing.

For gutter specifically, Housecall's price book supports the same per-LF and per-unit structures as Jobber. The gaps show up on the operations side: multi-crew dispatch for gutter teams running parallel routes is functional but not as strong as ServiceTitan or Deelo. Pricing starts at $69/mo for a single user, but most gutter shops end up on the $199+/mo MAX plan for dispatching and employee GPS.

4. ServiceTitan — Enterprise-Grade (Maybe Overkill)

ServiceTitan is the dominant platform in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical at the 20+ truck scale. It has since expanded into adjacent residential trades including gutter. Routing, dispatching, reporting, and call-center features are best-in-class. Dynamic pricing books, commission tracking, and KPI dashboards for every technician are excellent.

The cost: expect to start around $300/month per user on an annual contract, with implementation typically running 6-12 weeks. For a 3-truck gutter company running $800K-1.5M in revenue, this is almost always overkill. For a 15+ truck multi-branch gutter operation also offering roofing or siding, it starts to make sense.

5. FieldPulse — Mid-Market Value

FieldPulse lands in the middle — more capable than entry-level Jobber but without the ServiceTitan price tag. Quoting, scheduling, invoicing, and customer management are all solid. Pricing runs roughly $59-99/month for typical gutter-shop configurations, which is competitive. The platform is growing but the CRM and marketing tooling feel less mature than Jobber or Housecall Pro, so gutter shops that want automated review requests, referral tracking, and email campaigns end up layering on extra tools.

Gutter Service Software FAQ

How do I handle linear-foot pricing for seamless gutter?
Every platform on this list supports per-unit pricing in the quote builder. Set up line items for each gutter profile (5" K-style aluminum, 6" K-style aluminum, 6" half-round copper, and so on) with a per-LF rate. Most shops also carry separate rates for painted vs. mill-finish, and a 15-20% uplift on copper or zinc. Gutter guards go in as a separate per-LF line item so customers see the add-on clearly on the quote. Downspouts, elbows, and hidden hangers can be per-piece line items or rolled into the per-LF rate — most shops split them out for transparency.
Can these platforms take a card payment on-site?
Jobber, Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan, FieldPulse, and Deelo all support tap-to-pay or Bluetooth card readers on mobile. Housecall Pro has the most polished consumer payment UX including Apple Pay and financing offers presented right on the invoice. Deelo uses Stripe-powered payments with a mobile card reader option and card-on-file for recurring cleaning customers. All of them can email or text the invoice with a pay-online link if the customer prefers.
How do I automate fall cleaning reminders for past install customers?
This is where all-in-one platforms pull ahead. In Deelo, an automation triggers when a job with type = 'Gutter Install' closes. The contact is added to a 'Fall Cleaning Reminder' list, and the next September 1st, every contact on that list gets an email offering a $120 cleaning with a one-click booking link. Jobber and Housecall Pro can do this through client reminders but you often need a separate email marketing tool like Mailchimp to send segmented campaigns with nice templates. ServiceTitan has strong marketing automation at a correspondingly higher cost.
What about route optimization when I have seven houses in one subdivision?
Deelo's scheduler groups jobs by proximity and suggests packing nearby stops into the same truck-day. Jobber's route map is visual but you manually order stops. Housecall Pro offers route optimization in the MAX plan. ServiceTitan's routing is the strongest — dynamic rerouting based on traffic and real-time completion times. FieldPulse has solid basic routing. For most gutter shops, basic route clustering plus a visual map is enough; truly dynamic dispatch only matters once you cross 10+ trucks.
How do warranty records work when I need to honor a 10-year claim?
Every job should carry a warranty record tied to the customer, service date, crew foreman, and material details (brand, color, LF installed). In Deelo this is a custom object on the job; in Jobber and Housecall Pro you can attach notes or PDFs but there is no first-class warranty object. ServiceTitan has explicit warranty tracking. For a small shop, the practical answer is: store the signed warranty certificate as an attachment on the job, make the job searchable by address and date, and you will be able to answer a call-back request in under 5 minutes regardless of platform.
Is ServiceTitan really worth $300+/month for a gutter-only shop?
Usually not until you are at 10+ trucks or offering multiple trades. The dispatch, reporting, and call-center features are excellent but a 3-truck gutter shop uses maybe 25% of what they are paying for. The more common path is start with Jobber, Housecall Pro, or Deelo, grow to 10+ trucks, and then re-evaluate whether ServiceTitan's enterprise features justify the price and the multi-year contract.
