Est. 1998
Built by Hand.
Run by Family.
Twenty-seven years ago John Bayram founded Tri State Gutters with one truck and a conviction that gutter work done right should last a lifetime. Nothing about that has changed.
Our Story
An Immigrant's Trade
John Bayram arrived in America in the mid-1990s with no connections, no capital, and no English — only a willingness to work. He learned the trade from scratch: carrying ladders, cleaning gutters, watching how experienced installers measured and pitched a run. Within a few years he understood the craft well enough to do it better than most of his teachers.
In 1998 he founded Tri State Gutters. The company grew on word of mouth — a neighbor referred a neighbor, a contractor told a client, a realtor mentioned the name. No advertising. Just work that spoke for itself on the rooflines of Morris, Bergen, and Essex counties.
"Getting the work done right the first time isn't just our motto — it's the principle that built everything we have." — John Bayram, Founder
Hands-On
How We Work
What We Actually Believe
John Bayram still shows up on job sites today. Every major installation is personally overseen — not delegated to whoever is available.
We price the job before we start it. The number on your estimate is the number on your invoice. No change orders, no surprises.
We don't rush. Slope calculations, hanger spacing, downspout sizing — every detail is set correctly once rather than revisited under warranty.
This is not a franchise or a crew of strangers. The people who work here have been here for 10–15 years. We take that continuity seriously.
The Family
A True Family Business
When we say "family business," we mean it literally. John's son works alongside him — different generation, same standard. They disagree about some things: truck routes, material suppliers, scheduling software. They agree on the things that matter.
The team members who have been with us for 10–15 years are also family in the meaningful sense. Manuel has been here for fifteen years. Al for fifteen. Chris for ten. Murph for ten. These aren't employees cycling through seasonal work — they're craftsmen who chose to stay.
That continuity shows in the work. When the same person who installed your gutters in 2015 shows up for your cleaning in 2025, they remember the property. They know where the trees overhang, where the run was tricky, what pitch they set. That institutional knowledge doesn't exist at a company with 40% annual turnover.
The Team
People Behind Every Project
John arrived in America in the mid-1990s and learned the trade from the ground up. He founded Tri State Gutters in 1998. Twenty-seven years later, he's still on job sites. If you request an estimate on a complex property, there's a good chance John is the one who shows up.
Al joined early in the company's growth and became the backbone of our installation crews. His attention to slope accuracy and hanger placement is the standard other crew members are measured against.
Chris manages project scheduling and customer communication alongside hands-on installation. His decade of experience means he's seen every complication a property can present — and knows how to handle it.
Murph brings the same precision to every job regardless of size. His work is quiet and methodical — the copper installations especially benefit from his patience with hand-soldering and mitered joints.
