William McGee has called Dallas home since 1994 and lives in Dallas, TX with his wonderful wife, Eliza, and their black lab, Smokey. He spent his career to date in the investment banking / private equity world.
Throughout his career, William found himself envious of the management teams he worked with and always dreamed of starting and running his own business. He wanted to lead and grow a professional team and identified franchising as a fantastic way to fulfill that goal.
The Gutter industry is attractive as a business for many reasons: first, it is Amazon-proof – Amazon is not likely to displace our service; and second, it is not a fad – gutters are an important component of your home serving both practical and aesthetic needs.
The Brothers that just do Gutters Franchisor support and training teams are extremely impressive. The most exciting part of the business model is the fact that we aren’t aiming to create jobs, we are aiming to create careers —hiring men and women who will grow with us for the duration of their careers. The best way for us to provide five-star service to our clients is to have employees who are fully trained and engaged.
The Brothers that just do Gutters – McKinney/East Dallas, TX is reinventing contractor service every day by providing best-in-class gutter installation, service, repairs, and all things gutters.
When not at work growing his team, William loves to hunt, fish, golf, travel, smoke BBQ, and entertain friends.
In 1999 Ken Parsons had just left the teaching industry and started his own gutter contractor company under the name Waterfall Seamless Gutters. In 2002 Ken’s younger brother, Ryan Parsons, accepted a job on the truck with Ken after the Graphic Design company he was working for crashed. In 2006 the Brothers briefly changed their name to Water-flow Gutter Solutions before finally becoming “The Brothers that just do Gutters” in 2009. The name we all know and love came from a radio ad the Brothers ran just a couple years prior to the change. Everyone who heard it liked it so much they thought it was the company name so Ken and Ryan stopped fighting it and adopted the name. With the name change came a few title changes as well. We decided we no longer wanted to be salesman, presidents or owners but rather Solutionists©, which embodied what we represent to our clients. Ken Parsons was re-entitled Senior Solutionist©, and Ryan Parsons became Chief Solutionist©.
Being in the gutter contractor business for over 15 years was an effort of adaptation and determination. We have been able to be successful for so long because we made our main focus the customer. The Brothers that just do Gutters offer a wide variety of installations, cleaning and repairs in a small niche industry of seamless rain gutters and leaf guards. We have been able to grow the reliability of our services and offer only the best products by focusing all our effort on gutter systems and guards.
Our mantra, “Reinventing Contractor Service™” is the phrase we live by in all areas of our business, every day. The story of The Brothers that just do Gutters began with hard work and a dream to be a community-loved contractor. We wanted to reinvent how clients experience contractor services and provide a level of customer service and reliability that was lacking in our industry.
Along the way, we had to learn to move at the speed of business and invent many new methods never before implemented in the contractor field. Meeting our goal of being a five-star contractor and reinventing contractor service meant focusing on every detail of the job. By creating a unique experience with the homeowner, investing in our employees, sourcing the best products, and creating training methods for publishing every review a homeowner made on our independent review services, we started to rise above the rest.
