Joe Capasso began his career with 11 years in Investments, working for Stock Brokerage firms and Money Managers as a Stock/Bond Analyst. He then transitioned to the Energy sector working for several Energy companies until he helped start a Retail Electricity Provider in 2007.
As a managing partner he helped build it from zero sales and 3 employees to $100 million in Sales and 50 employees. The company went under because of Winter Storm Uri that hit Texas and caused many REPs to fold. He still has an entrepreneurial drive and he believes he got his entrepreneurial spirit from his father. Growing up, he helped his father work on rental properties that he owned. So, during the summer and on weekends, he learned how to do repairs on Roofs, Fascia, Plumbing, Electrical, Carpentry, Sheetrock, etc. He always thought that he would own some type of home services company someday.
I really enjoyed building the Energy Company. I wanted to buy a franchise because it would allow me to ramp up much faster than if I had to build it on my own from day one. And I like that a franchise is a proven business idea and all the policies and procedures have been worked out already. What I loved about The Brothers that just do Gutters is that they have developed a clear path for employee growth, proven processes, and infectious culture. The culture is unlike any business I have been a part of. I want to bottle it up and bring it to my Houston office!
We provide a very professional contractor experience for installing, repairing, and cleaning your gutters. We are reinventing the Contractor Services industry with a professional approach that has been missing in the home services industry.
Among my top goals are great customers reviews — which means my customers love the work that we do, along with a great customer experience. And providing my employees an environment of learning and growth. If I can implement these items than the profitability will follow.
Joe has been married to his wonderful wife Wendy for the past 17 years and they have two wonderful children, Carley 16, —she is a varsity Cheerleader— and Joey 13, —he plays baseball and may be a future Comedian. Joe likes to stay active —from dirt bikes to mountain bikes and running. Joe raced dirt bikes and has done the MS150 Bike Ride 6 Times, riding from Houston to Austin over a 2-day period. He has also done 15+ sprint Triathlons!
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.
