Few homeowners think about their gutters until water pours over the edge in a storm. A good gutter-cleaning door hanger has to make the problem visible in a second. This one does it with the structure itself: the top of the hanger is a slate roof, a metal gutter runs straight across it with autumn leaves poking out, and a downspout drops all the way down the right edge to a few blue drops of water at the bottom.
How the Roofline Frames the Design
The handle hole sits in the middle of a dark slate-shingled roof that fills the top quarter of this 4.25 x 11-inch hanger. Under the roof is a white fascia board, then a silver gutter with green, orange, and rust leaves sticking out of it. On the right edge, a silver downspout with three brackets runs almost to the bottom, ending above a small splash of water drops.
The text sits in the open space to the left of the downspout, on a pale sky-blue background: CLEARFLOW GUTTERS in spaced blue capitals, Clogged gutters? in large black Barlow, and Clear by Friday. in blue. A short paragraph explains why it matters: overflowing gutters soak siding, rot fascia, and flood basements. A white offer card with a blue outline reads NEIGHBOUR DEAL · $20 off when two homes on this street book. The slate footer repeats a strip of gutter above the phone number, so the top and bottom echo each other.

Why the Before-and-After Photos Matter
Customers rarely climb a ladder to check the work. Texting photos of the full gutter and then the clean one builds trust and gives you material for social media. It is worth keeping that promise on the hanger; it answers the silent question: How will I know you did it?
Recolouring Roof, Gutter and Leaves
The roof is a single group of shapes; choose a brown or terracotta from its colour swatches to match the houses in your area. The gutter and downspout are silver, but white or bronze aluminium gutters are common too, so match whatever you install. The leaves are a separate group; in spring, recolour them all green or swap them for pine needles.
Best Months to Hang These
Gutter cleaning demand has two peaks: late spring, after blossoms and seed pods fall, and late autumn, after the leaves drop. Hang the first batch just as trees start to shed, while gutters are visibly full, and the second batch after the first big autumn storm.
Spotting Homes That Need You
- Large trees overhanging the roof, especially oaks, maples and pines.
- Plants or grass growing out of the gutter line.
- Stains or streaks down the siding under the gutters.
- Gutters sagging away from the fascia.
Prioritise streets where several of these show; the hanger’s illustration will feel familiar to those owners.
Talking About Safety
Many people clean their own gutters and fall from ladders every year. Without scaring customers, the hanger can mention Ladder-safe crews and insurance, as the back contact band does. Older homeowners in particular are glad to hand the job to someone insured.
Printing the Roofline Hanger
The dark slate roof and footer use a lot of ink, so professional printing on 14 pt coated card gives the cleanest result. For a short run at home, Download As PDF and print both pages back to back on heavy matte card; check that the leaves still look bright.
Cutting Through the Roof
The handle hole is marked on the roof with a dashed white-edged circle, and a dashed slit runs to the top edge. Cut the hole first, then the slit. On the back page, the slit is mirrored, so the two sides line up.
Upselling Gutter Guards
The third column of the price table plants the idea of gutter guards, a higher-value job. When customers call for a cleaning, mention that guards cut future cleanings. Many will say yes once they have seen the before photo of their own gutters.
A Twice-Yearly Reminder Plan
Gutter cleaning is the perfect subscription service. Offer customers a reminder plan: you text them in spring and autumn, they reply yes, and you put them on the route. Add a line to the back of the hanger, such as: Ask about our twice-a-year plan, 10% off each visit, and every one-time customer becomes a regular one with a predictable schedule for your crew.
