The Brothers That Just Do Gutters' 2026 National Conference: Celebrating Excellence in the Gutter Industry
From March 4 to 6, 2026, The Brothers That Just Do Gutters hosted its National Conference at the scenic Margaritaville Resort in Orlando, Florida. This annual event, themed "Race to Replace," brought together franchise owners, managers, and solutionists from all corners of the United States. The conference aimed to accelerate replacement sales, enhance operational execution, and ultimately drive growth across the franchise system.
As the brand's flagship leadership and training event, the conference provided a platform for franchisees to unify around strategic sales methodologies, innovative marketing, solid financial performance, and superior customer experience. Educational sessions were filled with insights on disciplined execution and profitability, fostering an environment geared toward scalable expansion in local markets.
Among the highlights was a keynote address from Ken Parsons, co-founder of The Brothers That Just Do Gutters. With a wealth of experience in franchising, brand building, and mentorship, Parsons recounted the company's journey from humble beginnings to becoming a leading player in the home services sector. He emphasized the importance of building a strong culture, maintaining accountability, and seizing opportunities as vital elements to long-term franchise success. Ken's contributions to the industry also extend to mentoring new entrepreneurs through programs like Grow With The Bros, and he actively participates on the board of Evive Brands, guiding strategic growth initiatives.
The conference further recognized outstanding achievements during its annual awards ceremony. The Hudson Valley franchise in New York emerged as the highest-performing location, generating an impressive revenue of $3,923,503.34 in the past year. Additionally, seven markets surpassed the $2 million threshold in revenue, including San Antonio, Texas, St. Louis, Missouri, and Coastal North California among others. An impressive total of thirty-eight locations broke the $1 million mark in revenue, showcasing the franchise's strong financial health.
