What the Promise Means

You get the same straightforward price we’d give our own family. No fake sales. No pressure. No games.

  • Best price up front. We give you our real price the first time. No inflated quote just to mark it down.
  • No fake “today only” sales. If we run a promotion, it’s real and written.
  • No high-pressure tactics. We explain your options, give you a written quote, and let you decide.
  • Family rule. If it wouldn’t feel right doing it to Aunt Wanda, we won’t do it to you.

The Story Behind the Aunt Wanda Pricing Promise

Back in 1989, when I started Sunrise Seamless, I kept losing jobs to slick, high-pressure salesmen. I was raised to be honest and upfront, commit, and keep it. But I was watching customers choose companies that were lower quality and higher price just because they used sales gimmicks — gimmicks I’d simply call dishonest. It was frustrating.

We hired a consultant to help us get more sales, and he laid out a seven-step presentation for us. Finally, we had a good plan — except the seventh step.

The seventh step was one of those tactics: a fake “sale” that had “just expired,” but we’d “honor it” if the customer signed that day. The truth was simple: there was no real sale. Just an inflated price, then a “discount” back down to our normal number.

I tried it once. I hated it.

The turning point came when my Aunt Wanda called for an estimate. I asked the consultant how I should price it for family. His answer was simple: “Give her your best price up front.”

That’s when it clicked. If my own aunt deserved my straight, best price up front, then so did everyone else.

So that day, I decided every customer gets the Aunt Wanda treatment. No fake discounts. No pressure games. No tricks.

We’ve followed that rule ever since, and it still shapes how we price seamless gutter installation, gutter guards, repair work, and related services today.
