Hey ford guy , what's the scoop on "Gutter Guard" types of products?

I don't own any trees near my house, however, my neighbors trees/leaves continually clog my gutters. All I've ever heard about gutter guard type products is that they are grossly expensive and produce so-so results.

And don't forget if you have more than (3) employees in the state of GA you have to have Workers Comp insurance. If you didn't know. Good Luck!

Yes sir, I do know that. But a couple of the contractors and builders I have interested in using me require workers comp.

If you come to do the Loganville small job shoot me a pm first. I have a small run that needs replacing also.
I’m in High Shoals about 35 min from Loganville.

Workers comp is payroll based, so it’s relatively affordable. My payroll runs about $10k per week and workers comp costs me just under $200.

The Gutter industry will be a little higher than that. I think the codes are for Sheetmetal fabrication. Something like 6 to 10% of payroll.

I'm a contractor in the kitchen and bath industry, focusing on installations. My WC insurance runs about 11% of payroll. You could start off by getting a "ghost" policy here in GA, which will run you about $1500/year premium, but doesn't cover anything. It will, however, satisfy your WC requests from builders and other clients. Make your subs carry their own WC insurance and you won't have to write a check for the premiums on their earnings at your year-end audit.
