Owners who live elsewhere don't see overflow, so gutters get attention only after a leak or a code notice.

Gutter service for landlords who'd rather never think about rental gutters.
A landlord with six rentals wants one company that cleans all of them twice a year, sends photos, and bills once. Spur finds owners of multiple older rentals, mails them directly, and alerts you when they scan, so a single call can fill a season.

The problem
Landlords neglect gutters until a tenant complaint forces the call.
Door hangers on a rental go to the tenant, not the owner who pays for maintenance.
Landlords want a vendor who does the job, sends proof, and doesn't need supervision, and they rarely find one.

AI draft for Terrence B. · Carmel, IN
Hi Terrence,
If you own older rentals on the east side, you know gutters are the maintenance item that gets ignored until a tenant calls about water in the basement. We clean and repair gutters on rental properties across Indianapolis, and we do it on a schedule so you don't have to chase it.
You send us your addresses. We schedule a spring and fall visit for each, send you before and after photos for every property, and invoice once a month. If we find a failing section, you'll hear about it with a photo and a price before any work starts.
Scan the code and we'll quote the whole portfolio.

How to win gutter work from landlords
Landlords are a different buyer from homeowners. They own several properties, they are rarely on site, and they buy maintenance as a cost to control. What they want is predictability: a vendor who shows up on schedule, shows evidence of the work, and bills in a way that fits their bookkeeping. A gutter company that offers all three stands out.
Find them by ownership, not by house. Absentee owners with multiple older properties are the target, and many of them hold property through LLCs. Spur identifies the person behind the entity and the mailing address, so the card reaches the owner who decides, not the tenant who throws it out.
Lead with the portfolio. A card about "one crew for every rental you own" is a different offer from a homeowner's cleaning. Mention photos for each address, a fixed price per visit, and one invoice. If the owner has ten properties, even a modest price per visit becomes a meaningful contract.
Know the landlord's obligations. Many cities adopt the International Property Maintenance Code, which requires roof drainage to be adequate to prevent dampness or deterioration in the walls or interior. A landlord who understands that a failing gutter is a code issue, not just a nuisance, has more reason to hire a professional.
Start small and grow. Offer to quote the whole portfolio but welcome a pilot on two or three properties. Once the photos and invoices prove the service, landlords tend to add every property and refer other owners they know.
Offer reporting built for property managers. A monthly summary of properties serviced, photos, and any repair recommendations lets a landlord or manager keep records for owners, insurers, and inspectors. Companies that provide that paperwork without being asked are rare, and they're the ones that win multi-property contracts and keep them, because the landlord rarely wants to start over with a new vendor.

FAQ
Gutter landlord marketing questions
How do I find landlords with several rentals?
Filter for absentee owners with two or more properties built before 1990. Spur also identifies the people behind LLC owners.
What should a landlord gutter card say?
Lead with the portfolio: photos for every property, a fixed visit price, and one monthly invoice.
Should I mail the tenant or the owner?
The owner. Tenants don't hire maintenance vendors. Spur mails to the owner's own mailing address.
Can I start with a few properties?
Yes. A pilot on two or three properties earns the full contract once the photos and invoices prove the service.
