A Week Among the Best in the Business
From September 23 to 25, we set up our booth at the 2026 Gutter Summit, and it was the best gutter tradeshow we've attended so far. We've been to our share of shows over the years, and this one stood out from the first day. GutterGate exhibited as a vendor alongside gutter companies from across the nation, and for three days our booth was the center of a lot of great conversations. For anyone new here: GutterGate is a cap that mounts on the end of your downspout, at ground level, in about five minutes with two screws and a drill. It deters pests from getting in, protects the downspout end from lawn equipment damage, and covers the sharp edges most homeowners never think twice about. Simple problem, simple fix — and apparently, a fix a lot of gutter pros wanted to see in person.

72 Samples, One Golden Ticket
We wanted attendees to actually hold the product, not just hear about it, so we handed out 72 sample kits over the course of the show. We also hid one Golden Ticket inside a random kit. Whoever found it would win a free box of 50 GutterGate units — no strings attached. One attendee opened his sample kit to find the Golden Ticket inside — our winner.
Our Golden Ticket winner - 72 samples given away, and this one came with a free box of 50.
Real Connections With the Companies That Matter
The best part of a show like this isn't the swag or the raffle - it's the people. We spent our time on the floor talking directly with the top gutter and gutter guard companies in the country, the same companies already installing GutterGate for their customers. Some were current partners we finally got to meet face to face. Others were new connections that we're genuinely excited about. Either way, it's the kind of relationship-building that doesn't show up on a spec sheet but matters more than almost anything else in this business.

Grateful for the Road So Far
Shows like the Gutter Summit remind us why we build this thing the way we do - for the pros who install it every day, not just the homeowners who buy it once. We're thankful for every company that stopped by our table, every conversation that turned into a partnership, and honestly, we're just grateful to God for how far this has come. It's been a good year, and standing in that room with the best in the industry made it feel real.
