KGuard of Boston Information

Ever since Gary Knudson was young, he had a love for designing gutter systems. It was a talent he honed working side-by-side with his father while working out of their garage back in 1965. Years later, Knudson took the helm at Knudson Manufacturing in Broomfield, Colorado and put those talents to work, and since then, has successfully designed, invented and received more than 100 patents for innovative applications that have continued to set the standard in the gutter-systems market today. One of the most innovative and most popular of Knudson’s designs was the fully engineered, two-piece leaf-free K-Guard™ system. Conceived in 1997, K-Guard™ received its patent and signed its first licensee in 1998 and has been producing unprecedented drainage systems ever since. What made the K-Guard™ system so innovative for its time was its fully engineered two-piece design which featured a fully supported gutter and hood plus a highly effective, hidden patented hanger system which was nearly indestructible regardless of hail, sleet, snow, or other destructive weather conditions. And here’s the best part — it was a leaf-free system, meaning homeowners could stay off the roof, forget about clogs and put their ladders away for good.
