The Brothers That Just Do Gutters Opens Apex Location
The Brothers That Just Do Gutters, a full-service gutter contractor providing residential and commercial gutter installation, repair, cleaning and gutter guard solutions, announced today the opening of its new location serving homeowners and businesses throughout the greater Apex, North Carolina, area. The Brothers That Just Do Gutters of Apex is owned and operated by husband-and-wife team Nick and Aly Wilhelm-Olsen, who are bringing decades of corporate leadership experience and a shared commitment to customer service to their new business.
Nick spent his career in the technology industry, working for companies including Lexmark, NetApp and Nutanix after earning a Bachelor of Science degree in computer science from Marquette University. Aly built her career in corporate banking with PNC Bank and First National Bank of Pennsylvania. After years in the corporate world, the couple saw business ownership as an opportunity to take greater control of their future while building something their family could grow together.
“After experiencing corporate restructuring from every angle, I knew I wanted the opportunity to control my own destiny and build something lasting,” Nick said. “We also wanted to create a business that could provide opportunities for our sons in the future and allow us to give back to the community we’ve called home for more than 25 years.”
Nick began exploring franchise ownership after leaving the technology industry in December 2025. While he and Aly had previously associated franchising primarily with the restaurant industry, they quickly discovered the range of opportunities available and the advantages of an established business model, training and ongoing support.
The Brothers That Just Do Gutters ultimately stood out because of its strong business model, emphasis on employee development, commitment to customer satisfaction and culture of transparency.
“What connected with us was the culture and the people,” Aly said. “There is a genuine commitment to developing employees, taking care of customers and supporting franchise owners. Those values aligned with the kind of company we wanted to build in Apex.”
The Apex location provides residential and commercial gutter installation, repair and cleaning services, along with gutter guard solutions designed to help protect properties from water damage and reduce ongoing maintenance. Flexible financing options are also available, helping homeowners move forward with needed gutter projects while selecting a payment option that works for their budget.
“Nick and Aly bring a strong combination of business experience, people skills and a genuine commitment to building a company that serves both its customers and employees,” said Danny Horboychuk, Brand President of The Brothers That Just Do Gutters. “Their focus on employee development, customer satisfaction and community involvement makes them a great addition to our franchise family. We’re excited to support them as they build their business and become a trusted resource for homeowners throughout the Apex area.”
How It All Began
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.

Why Reinventing The Gutter Contractor Service Is At The Core Of Our Business
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.
