What changes with MakeHay

Quote, schedule, get paid, come back.

Schedule around the weather, not despite it

Gutter work is ladder work, and a rule in MakeHay keeps it off wet days: rain under 30% on the day at each address, from the National Weather Service forecast. Recurring cleanings for spring and fall generate onto the calendar with an end date, each visit checked on its own.

  • Rain flags on cleaning and install days, per address
  • Spring and fall cleanings as recurring visits
  • Clearer-day suggestions when a booked day turns
  • Day-before reminders so cars are out of the driveway
Two weeks of the MakeHay calendar with the forecast on each day: green days with low rain chances, and two red days with a rain flag on the visit scheduled there.
Step 1

Quote it before you leave the site

Trace the roofline on satellite view for linear feet, then quote cleaning by the foot or flat by the house, and installs by the foot with downspouts, guards, and disposal as lines. Offer cleaning, cleaning plus guards, and a full replacement as three packages on one quote. The homeowner approves from their phone.

Three package cards on one MakeHay quote, with the recommended one highlighted, and the first line item priced below.
Step 2

Get paid without chasing

Invoice from the driveway the minute the last downspout runs clear: one click, a card or bank pay link, and most homeowners pay on the spot. Installs take a deposit at approval and the balance by link. Overdue reminders go out automatically.

An invoice as the customer sees it: the lines, the balance due, and a Pay online button with the bank-transfer option under it.
Step 3

Keep every customer for the re-do

A gutter customer comes back every spring and fall. Every property keeps its linear feet, guard type, visit history, and balance, so next season's route and the guard upsell are already on the record.

The Job sites card on a MakeHay customer page: two sites, each with its own Measure button.
Step 4

Give every customer a portal

One private link per customer: messages with photos, documents you request, a heads-up on any contract waiting for their e-signature, and invoices they pay. No app, no password, free.

The client portal: Home, Messages, Docs, and Billing tabs, a Needs-you box with an estimate to review and a balance due, and the contractor's contact card.

FAQ

Gutters questions, answered straight.

Is it really free for gutter crews?

Yes. Unlimited customers, quotes, scheduling, and invoices, free forever, not a trial. No monthly plan, no seat fees, and no credit card to start.

Can I get linear feet without a site visit?

Yes. Trace the roofline on satellite view and the length drops into the quote as the quantity. Try it free at makehay.io/satellite-measurement-tool.

Does it handle twice-a-year cleanings?

Yes. Set the job to repeat with an interval and an end date and the visits generate onto the calendar, each with the property's forecast and a day-before reminder.

Can I sell guards on the same quote?

Yes. Put cleaning, cleaning plus guards, and a full replacement on one quote as three packages, mark the one you recommend, and the homeowner picks.

How fast do customers pay?

Invoice from the driveway with a card or bank link and most pay on the spot. The rest get automatic reminders, three at most.

What's the catch for a gutter business?

No catch. The software costs us almost nothing per crew to run, so it is free. Online card and ACH payments carry processing costs, as they would with any provider.
