From a Rusted Truck
& a $50 Ladder to Your Home's Best Defense

Roof Gutter Now didn't start in a boardroom. It started in early 2021 with a 22-year-old, one beat-up truck, and a promise: homeowners deserve someone in their corner.

Year one: Nathaniel cleaning gutters by hand — where it all started.
How It Started

One Man. One Ladder.

In early 2021, at just 22 years old, Nathaniel Davis started Roof Gutter Now with what he could scrape together: a rusted truck, a ladder rack pulled from the dump, and a $50 ladder bought off Facebook Marketplace. No investors. No fleet. Just early mornings, honest work, and gutters cleaned like they were on his own house.

Word spread the way it always does in Northeast Ohio — one neighbor telling another. The gutter cleanings turned into gutter installs. The installs turned into roofs. And along the way, Nathaniel noticed something that changed the company for good: homeowners with legitimate storm damage were getting shortchanged by billion-dollar insurance companies — and most contractors just worked with whatever the carrier paid.

"The insurance company has adjusters, software, and lawyers on their side. We decided the homeowner should have a team too."

What We Stand For

Built To Fight For Homeowners

The same four promises since the first gutter cleaning.

Fight Big Insurance

Carriers count on homeowners giving up. Our claims team doesn't — we document, negotiate and supplement until the scope is right.

Save Homeowners Money

Upfront pricing, honest repair-vs-replace advice, and deductible-only outcomes on approved claims.

Protect The Home

From roofs and siding to emergency ice dams at 2 AM — the house comes first, every time.

No Job Too Small

Gutter cleanings built this company. They're still welcome, still respected, and still done right.

How It's Going

A Team In Your Corner

Today, Roof Gutter Now is a multi-million-dollar exterior restoration company with a real office at 4019 S. Main Street in Akron and a team of 8+ — including a dedicated insurance claim support specialist team that does nothing but fight for homeowners: documenting damage, meeting adjusters on the roof, and pushing back with code citations and supplements when carriers underpay. On approved claims, our customers typically pay only their deductible.

We're licensed and insured across Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York, GAF certified, and backed by 400+ five-star reviews. In winter, our crews load the steamers and travel the entire United States removing ice dams — because emergencies don't check state lines.
