Interview with Gregory Kauffman from Gutter Helmet Northwest

If you’ve been reading this blog, you’ve heard a great deal about the effectiveness and durability of Gutter Helmet® gutter guards. You know that Gutter Helmet® is the top choice by countless homeowners to keep their gutters clog-free and flowing smoothly. But now, it’s time to introduce you to some of the people who stand behind this unique gutter guard system — specifically, the dealers, distributors, and installers of Gutter Helmet® products across the United States.

Today, let’s meet Gregory Kaufmann. He’s the owner of Gutter Helmet® Northwest, a Gutter Helmet® supplier which serves homes in the greater Seattle area in the state of Washington.

Kaufmann is a proud graduate of Humboldt State University in Arcata, California. He received his Master of Arts degree in Theatre and Film in 1973. While at Humboldt State, Kaufmann was a member of the Delta Psi fraternity and also participated in a theatre group on campus. He received an Arts Council award and was recognized as one of Who’s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges.

Kaufmann has been the owner of Gutter Helmet® Northwest since 2009. Not only does his business install Gutter Helmet® products, but it also offers a wide array of related services. These include gutter cleaning and repair, as well as downspout installation and repair. In addition, Gutter Helmet® Northwest is a full-service general contractor which can service both traditional and mobile homes. The company provides sales and service for roofing, siding, windows, and exterior doors. Gutter Helmet® Northwest can also handle clients’ window cleaning, roof cleaning, pressure washing, and exterior painting needs as well.

Kaufmann is not shy about warning his customers about the dangers of gutter maintenance. He says that if you ignore your gutters, they can get clogged with debris and cause runoff water to overflow onto the ground near your home, which could lead to foundation problems. On the other hand, Kaufmann recognizes the hazards of cleaning gutters on your own. He says that he is aware of several cases where people have actually died while trying to clean their gutters. And falling isn’t the only danger: Kaufmann recounts one case where a man used a spray device to flush out his gutters, which atomized the standing water inside them. The man breathed in the particles and eventually perished from Legionnaires’ disease.

Kaufmann is not only a seller of Gutter Helmet® products; he also has a long track record of using these gutter guards on his own homes. That’s because Kaufmann knows that there is no better gutter guard system available today.

If you have a residential or commercial property in the Seattle area, be sure to contact Gregory Kaufmann for all of your gutter and home handyman needs. Gutter Helmet® Northwest accepts credit cards and does offer financing to customers. For more information, you can call 206-219-0566.
