Gutter cleaning software for the spring and fall rush

Most gutter cleaners price by the linear foot with a minimum, and charge more for each story. In Birdy, gutter cleaning is a per-linear-foot service with a minimum charge, and stories are add-on lines the rep picks on site.

Bundles reward the add-on sale: "Gutters and a house wash together" can carry a package price. A good, better, best quote might be gutters, then gutters and downspouts, then gutters, downspouts and gutter brightening.

Sell a plan on chosen months. A spring and fall plan puts both visits on the calendar for good, and Birdy adds each one to the dispatch tray four weeks ahead by default, so the office books the fall rush in September, not in a panic in November.

Customers who'd rather not commit come back through Due for service: set gutter cleaning to come due again every 6 or 12 months, and they show up on the list with a quote from last time ready to send. See service plans.

Book by truck capacity, not by guesswork. Each truck has hours a day. The week view tints each day by how full it is, and the schedule dialog says "Truck 2 is full Thursday" before you book it. Your online booking page only offers times a truck can really take, and keeps a share of each day for phone calls.

On the map, waiting jobs show as grey pins next to each truck's route, so you can fill a street before driving across town. When wind or storms are forecast, Move them shifts the day's jobs to each truck's next open day and emails the customers.

Build it into the steps. A gutter checklist can require Before steps like "Ladder footing checked" and "Stabilizer on", and After steps like "Every downspout flushed" and "Debris bagged and removed" before the job can be marked done. The customer signs off on the phone or from an email.

If a downspout backs up a week later, Create callback makes a free return visit and charges its cost to the original job, so job costing shows what it really cost.
