Overview
Gutter Genius is much more than the product. It’s the system. It’s a
proven system that reduces administrative hassles for our franchise
partners. This frees up our franchise owners to focus on marketing and
growing our brand . . . and their businesses! We’re building a national brand with Gutter Genius, and we’re looking
for the right franchise partners to help us do it. Our franchise
network is only as strong as the individuals we invite into the
network. We’re looking for ambitious, aggressive people who are hungry
to make money, and are committed to long term investment and long term
growth. Our franchise partners are strong leaders who are results
oriented with high standards of integrity.
Products & Services

Gutter Genius’ history dates back to 1982, when George Elko filed a
patent on a simple, inexpensive solid metal gutter cover. His invention
became the Elko GuttaGard. Over the next 20 years, GuttaGard was sold
on TV, in catalogs, in hardware stores and Big Box retailers as well as
to hundreds of contractors across North America.
In 2004, GuttaGard was acquired by the Founder and CEO of Gutter Genius, Tim Staub. It took two years to develop the Gutter Genius product, file the patents, and create the business model that would become Gutter Genius. In 2006, Gutter Genius was launched with its first franchise in Richmond, Virginia.
Gutter Genius is a young company, but it’s based on 25 years of experience and a deep knowledge of rainware and gutter protection. We’re on the verge of explosive growth, and we’re looking for the right franchise partners to help us manage that growth.
Our vision at Gutter Genius is simply to become the most recognized brand of gutter protection in North America by 2012. Our mission statement is: “Achieve consistent and manageable long term growth of at least 20% per year by building a strong North American network of focused franchise partners supported by outstanding centralized customer service, clear accountability, and consistent profits across our team-based franchise network.”
