Founded in 2016, High Point Gutter was born from humble beginnings with a bold vision. After five years in the gutter trade, founder and owner Taylor Shores decided to strike out on his own. Operating from a rental home garage with his first employee—his brother-in-law, Peter—Taylor set out to prove that a gutter company could deliver more than just functional installations. His mission was to combine exceptional craftsmanship with genuine customer care.
Today, High Point Gutter has grown into a respected operation with more than 40 employees, a 10,000-square-foot warehouse, and a fleet of trucks serving homeowners and businesses across Washington state. Along the way, High Point Gutter has built a strong reputation online and in the community.
A Mission Rooted in Service and Values
High Point Gutter’s mission is simple yet powerful:
“Keep our customers happy and dry.”
That means more than just installing gutters—it’s about ensuring every home is properly protected from Washington’s rain-heavy climate while giving homeowners confidence in the quality of work.
During the COVID-19 shutdown, the team defined six core values—safety, ambition, transparency, discipline, gratitude, and trust—that now drive hiring, culture, and growth.

Installers thrive on competitive, performance-based pay and clear career paths, supported by health benefits, continuing education, and opportunities to move from installer to estimator, project manager, or facility lead.
“If the company wins, you get to win,” says Shores. “That’s the culture we want for our people.”
Seamless Installation & Superior Materials

High Point Gutter specializes in seamless gutter systems designed to minimize leaks and maximize curb appeal. Backed by a 10-year installation warranty and a 20-year manufacturer warranty, every installation demonstrates the team’s commitment to long-term value.
Beyond installation, the company offers a full suite of services, including gutter, roof, and skylight cleaning, moss control, seasonal maintenance, and commercial solutions. Every technician is trained in OSHA safety standards, and eco-friendly formulas are used for moss removal to balance effectiveness with environmental care.
Why High Point Gutter Trusts Alu-Rex
As both a gutter installer and sheet-metal shop, High Point Gutter can fabricate its own downspouts, flashings, and gutters in aluminum or copper. When it comes to protection systems, though, they rely on Alu-Rex.
After switching from other systems, Taylor and his team were impressed by Alu-Rex’s innovative design, durability, and performance—especially the T-Rex®, DoublePro®, and Gutter Clean System®. Confident in these products, High Point Gutter extends its own 10-year workmanship warranty to a lifetime warranty when Alu-Rex covers are installed, reinforcing its belief in both the product and its promise to homeowners.
“Other systems may look familiar to customers, like mesh screens,” Shores explains, “but they don’t actually work. Alu-Rex is a mechanical, perforated system that doesn’t clog—and we stand behind it with our own reputation.”
Installation Highlight: Seattle Aquarium
High Point Gutter’s work is trusted by both homeowners and institutions across the region. A standout project was the Seattle Aquarium, which welcomes over two million visitors each year. The team installed Alu-Rex’s T-Rex® continuous hanger system, ensuring long-term protection against the demanding Pacific Northwest weather.
