The Brothers That Just Do Gutters has marked a defining moment in its history, celebrating the graduation of its first all-female training class. The event brought together three accomplished women from different professional backgrounds who are ready to make their mark in a field long dominated by men. Their success reflects the brand’s growing commitment to fostering diversity, leadership, and innovation in the skilled trades sector.
Cynthia Fischer, from Beach Cities, California, brings a strong foundation in data analytics and engineering leadership. With years of experience guiding teams in technical environments, she views her new franchise as more than a business venture—it is a chance to build a people-first company grounded in integrity and culture. Fischer said she was drawn to The Brothers That Just Do Gutters because of its focus on purpose-driven growth and its robust support system for franchisees.
Joining her is Sara Baayoun of Anaheim, California, a former SaaS executive with a master’s degree in organizational leadership. Baayoun spent her career leading high-performing teams and developing operational systems, experience she now brings to the home services industry. She said she sees her franchise as an opportunity to create meaningful careers for others while delivering exceptional service to homeowners, blending corporate discipline with community engagement.
Rounding out the pioneering trio is Chalice Suratt from Northwest Arkansas, whose background in finance and sales strategy gives her a sharp business edge. Suratt said she was drawn to franchising for its potential to combine purpose and performance. Her results-oriented mindset reflects the very qualities that Brand President Danny Horboychuk highlighted in celebrating the milestone. “These women are proof that the home services industry offers incredible opportunities for anyone ready to lead with skill and purpose,” Horboychuk said. Together, these graduates represent a powerful shift in franchising—one that champions inclusion, leadership, and the growing presence of women in the trades.
