Kevin Booth was skeptical of making the change from owning one of the largest sunroom dealers in the country to owning a gutter protection company with much smaller average ticket values. He knew and respected the reputation of Southeastern Metals, Inc. which had acquired Gutter Helmet® in 2005 so he decided to take a chance and is the owner of Gutter Helmet® of North Florida.
“Much to my surprise and looking back these past 8 years, although the ticket price was considerably less, I was able to sell more products at a higher margin, which consequently drove my revenue up considerably, and made the whole project quite profitable,” explained Booth.
He said the dealer network is very encouraging and well organized. “In short, it was a great change for my professional career and I would recommend it to anyone interested in the home improvement business.”
