Our Story
From immigrant dreams to protecting your home - built on 27 years of dedication
How We Started
Twenty-nine years ago, John Bayram arrived in America with a simple dream: to build something meaningful with his own hands. In 1996, he found his calling in gutter work, learning the trade from the ground up. By 1998, he took the leap and founded Tri State Gutters.
What started as one man with a truck has grown into a family business, but John's hands-on approach hasn't changed. You'll still find him on job sites today, ensuring every installation meets the standards he's built his reputation on.
"Getting the work done right the first time" isn't just our motto - it's the principle that turned an immigrant's dream into the trusted name protecting homes across the tri-state area.
Still Hands-On After 27 Years

The Next Generation
Growing up in the family business means more than just watching from the sidelines. John's son has been learning the trade since he was old enough to hold a hammer, absorbing the same values of craftsmanship and integrity that built this company.
Today, he brings fresh energy and modern techniques while staying true to the foundation of quality his father established. The business isn't just being passed down - it's being built up together.
A True Family Business
When we say "family business," we mean it. Working side by side, father and son share the same vision of what quality looks like, bringing together decades of experience with fresh perspectives.
All family members are involved in the business, each bringing their own strengths while sharing the same commitment to protecting your home.
Family Values Extend Beyond Our Own
The people who work alongside us aren't just employees - they're valued team members whose families become part of our extended family. When Manuel has been with us for over 15 years, we celebrate not just his dedication, but the family that supports him.
We believe that when we take care of our team and respect their family commitments, it shows in the quality of work they bring to your home. Happy families create dedicated craftsmen.

Why Quality Matters
Hard lessons learned, values earned
Learning From Mistakes
In our early days, we made mistakes. We tried cheaper materials - faulty hangers that failed, gutter guards that clogged instead of protecting. We hired people who didn't share our vision of what a quality job looks like.
Each mistake taught us something valuable. But the biggest lesson came from seeing our competitors' work - gutters installed so quickly and carelessly that they leaked, destroying roofs and homes.
What broke our hearts was seeing this happen to elderly and disabled homeowners - people already at a disadvantage, left to deal with damage they couldn't afford. That's when we knew our mission: to do right by every customer, especially those who need us most.
