Designed, Assembled & Packaged in the USA
Customers who buy our gutter guard systems don’t just expect a superior product that offers unmatched protection, sustainability and long-lasting, durable design; they expect it from a company that understands quality and a commitment to its customers.
That’s why we’re proud to be one of the only names in the industry that makes high-quality, proprietary gutter guard systems using only American manufacturing. Here are three reasons why we’re committed to making every unit we sell right here in the USA.
1. We’re Able to Create Jobs in the USA
Some of the largest domestic companies handle at least part of their manufacturing overseas, and it’s not hard to see why. The land is more affordable to develop, and foreign labor is much cheaper than it is here. Many business owners see running operations in other countries as a major benefit to the bottom line, but not us.
We think some things are more important than cutting costs in the manufacturing process – things like making sure we’re creating jobs, stimulating the economy and keeping a close eye on standards and innovation. After all, Gutterglove is known for quality, and we’d never do anything to harm that reputation. We’re proud to employ friends and neighbors who help us protect the quality on which we’ve built our name.
2. We Can Pass the Savings on to Consumers
There’s something that happens when a company outsources manufacturing to overseas facilities. While the products are cheaper to make, they come to the consumer with the expenses of overseas shipping and regulatory costs added on. That means that they very well could be more expensive for the people who purchase them when it’s all said and done.
On the other hand, when a home or business owner purchases a Gutterglove gutter protection system, it gets loaded on American trucks and shipped directly to the consumer. No shipping taxes, no international holdups and no questions about the quality.
Additionally, as many companies have seen with 2020’s coronavirus outbreak, overseas manufacturing introduces variables that can’t always be controlled. Many companies have been effected by the outbreak, facing significant delays in manufacturing that have impacted their ability to deliver products to customers. This has resulted in frustrated consumers, damaged reputations, and lost revenues.
Our gutter guard systems are made out of aluminum and stainless steel, materials that are long-lasting and most importantly, 100% recyclable. They don’t need to be replaced as often, and when they do, the materials can be repurposed so that they stay out of the landfill.
3. We’re Able to Be Available to Our Customers
Those who know us well know that we proudly manufacture our products in the Sacramento, California area. We’re held to a higher standard than even other American companies. California is known for the regulations it puts in place to ensure that manufacturing happening within its borders is compliant with environmental standards, but that’s the way we like it.
Plus, we can avoid something that happens to a lot of companies when they outsource manufacturing to foreign soil: they also outsource customer support, which can be a frustrating experience for people who want to talk to someone who knows what they’re going through. That’s not an issue with Gutterglove. We’re known for having one of the most responsive and helpful customer support teams in the country, whether they’re answering your calls or helping you install your system.
Why Do We Do It?
At Gutterglove, we like to think of it this way: we’re not just guarding your home or business — we’re guarding the things that matter most. We’re creating jobs in our community, and we’re able to spur innovation by having complete control over every part of our business, no matter how large we grow.
