Gutter replacement and guard installation have strong unit economics for contractors who focus on inbound acquisition. Full gutter replacement averages $1,500-3,000; guard systems add $1,000-3,000+ on top. The real business value is in the recurring cleaning customer who becomes a replacement and guard customer over 3-5 years. Exclusive inbound calls bring new customers into that lifecycle at the lowest cost per acquisition.
