Module 6 (Advanced) — Gutters: Brightening vs Cleaning (Lesson)

This module is where you stop treating gutters like a simple add-on and start treating brightening like what it is: restoration work.

If you price it like cleaning, you’ll hate your life. If you run it like restoration (risk control + expectations + proof), it becomes a high-margin skill that separates you from the pack.

The rule

Gutter cleaning ≠ gutter brightening.

Brightening is restoration work.

Different chemistry. Different risk. Different price.

• Cleaning: debris removal + downspout verification
