Is FieldStacker a good CRM for gutter and gutter guard door-to-door?
Yes for the street side of the business. The fresh-lead knock map, drawn territories, custom dispositions, GPS-verified team knocks, go-backs, leaderboard and 1099 financials are vertical-agnostic and work for a gutter and leaf-protection crew today. Your eave measurements and your per-linear-foot pricing for a micro-mesh system stay where they are — in the aerial measurement report and the estimating and contract tool built for them. FieldStacker runs the canvass and the money; your estimating stack runs the proposal.
Does FieldStacker measure linear footage or build a gutter guard proposal?
Those stay in your estimating stack. Aerial gutter and eave measurements (EagleView, GAF QuickMeasure, Hover) or a laser measure on site, per-linear-foot pricing for a specific guard system, the contract and the e-signature all live in the tools built for them — Leap, JobNimbus, AccuLynx, improveit 360, MarketSharp or whatever your company runs. Financing applications and dealer-fee math stay in your lender portal. FieldStacker covers everything around that: getting canvassers onto the right blocks, tracking every door, setting demos both homeowners will sit for, and tracking your commission, chargebacks, mileage and 1099 taxes.
Can it run a two-tier team where canvassers set and a closer runs the demo?
Yes, and that is the normal shape of a gutter guard team. Canvassers work an assigned territory and disposition every door; when they set a demo it is attributed to them, and the closer sees the address, the notes and what the canvasser actually saw on the house. Because dispositions are yours to name, you can flag the ones that matter in this trade — one-legger (only one owner home), perimeter walked, demo set, sat no sale, sold, cancelled in rescission — instead of forcing your process into somebody else's pipeline stages.
Does it handle the fall rush and the seasonal call-back list?
That is most of the job. Gutters is a season business: the phone-worthy doors show up when the leaves drop and again after the first heavy spring rain. Draw a territory around the mature-canopy blocks, blanket them, and disposition the enormous pile of not-nows into callbacks that come due when you actually want to knock them again. The rep who kept a clean "come back when the leaves start" list in September is the rep with a full October. It also works offline, which matters on the old tree-lined streets where service drops.
Can I track gutter commissions, discount give-backs and chargebacks?
You can track what your plan actually pays. Log the job, enter your own split, and net the deductions against it — a discount you gave to close, a financing dealer fee, a cancel inside the three-day right-to-cancel window, a deal that never funded after a credit turndown. Add auto-mileage at the IRS rate for every driving day and a quarterly tax set-aside and you have the whole rep-money picture in the app you already knock with. It works from the plan you enter rather than assuming one for you.
How is this different from SalesRabbit or SPOTIO for a gutter company?
Those are capable canvassing platforms, but they are seat-based, usually sold to teams on an annual commitment, and they hand the money side — your commission, your give-backs, your miles, your quarterly taxes — back to a spreadsheet. FieldStacker is flat published pricing from $30/mo, month-to-month, with a 14-day free trial and no credit card, no seat minimums and no annual contract, and the rep financials are built in. Check their sites for current pricing before you compare.
