info_outlineThe first service that the family founders of RGS Exteriors offered Wasatch Front homeowners was weatherstripping and caulking services. This quickly grew into a rain gutter business, which remains one of our most popular services to this day. As the company was passed from father to son and then again, guttering was their staple product. But, as the next generation to take on the family business got older, success led to college educations which led to the exploration of new possibilities. The fourth generation of the family, fueled by their college-level understanding of the business world, decided it was time to offer more services to the homeowners who have supported them all these years. But they weren’t reckless in these efforts – far from it. Each new product line on offer first went through a rigorous period of experimentation and research until they determined the best manufacturer to work with and the best procedures for its installation. We allowed our reps to sell the new product only after that process was complete. And that process continues today as RGS Exteriors searches for the best partners and policies to bring new products to the homeowners of the Wasatch Front. Listen to this latest installment of Stories From the Roof to learn more about Tim Brown and RGS Exteriors and Utah Gutter!
