📖 The Hustle
Clean leaves and debris out of gutters for homeowners who do not want to climb a ladder. Charge $75-150 per house depending on size. You need a sturdy ladder, gloves, and a bucket. Most homes need it twice a year — spring and fall. With 4 houses per weekend at $100 each, you earn $800 per month during peak seasons. Homeowners hate this chore and will happily pay you.
🚀 First Step
Buy or borrow a sturdy extension ladder and gloves, then post on Nextdoor offering gutter cleaning with a flat per-house rate and same-weekend availability.
🔑 Keys to Success
- Always use a ladder stabilizer — safety is non-negotiable and clients notice professionalism
- Bring a garden hose to flush downspouts after scooping — blocked downspouts defeat the whole purpose
- Book spring and fall cleanings at the same time to lock in two jobs per client per year
