Brendan McGlyn is the owner and operator of the franchise location of The Brothers That Just Do Gutters serving Fort Lauderdale, FL and the surrounding areas.
He was born and raised in coastal New Jersey and feels lucky to have spent formative years biking, skateboarding, fishing, and playing team sports like soccer and basketball. After graduating from St. Bonaventure University with a BBA, Brendan joined Wall Street Finance ranks, spending most of his career in equities sales trading. In 2016, he left finance to pursue opportunities in residential real estate and has spent the last six years managing renovation projects and selling real estate.
The idea of running his own business has always been appealing, so he hasn’t looked back when leaving the corporate world. Over the last five years, he has worked in the home sector and quickly realized that being able to deliver a better quality product and service than what was currently available. Brendan found much excitement in displacing water during past home renovation projects, so hopping into the gutter installation and gutter repair industry was a thrilling idea.
With ambitions to grow and learn with his new team, Brendan is ready to start on the right foot and build and positive and healthy work environment that delivers service with an emphasis on professionalism and client satisfaction. The Brothers That Just Do Gutters stands apart from the pack by doing what we say we’re going to do and doing it on the agreed timeline- that’s the essence of reinventing contractor service. Excellent communication with the customer – including a detailed and professional explanation of the gutter solutions we recommend and installing our product with high-quality parts and labor. We treat your property as we would treat our own home.
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.
