As he progressed he found more superior ways to install, treat customers, and handle scheduling for optimum convenience for current customers.
Since 1998
A Foundation of excellence
Ace Gutter History
Understanding these changes can not be made because of Shan’s status at the company, he decided to start a new legacy implementing the values he wished to utilize. Ace Gutter Inc. was born shortly after.
The beginning of this new avenue of home exterior experts took time to get off the ground, much like any new business. However, Shan’s new found understanding of quality created a thriving company which has been growing in the Salt Lake Valley since 1998.

Excellent staff and training
With a quality company, comes quality work. This starts with the training and experience of our installers. Educating our installers on the needs of specific situations of the home and the ability to narrow down resolutions along with the original install of the work required at the jobsite. Understanding the quality of work starts with quality employees and staff is overlooked in many construction companies. Spencer has implemented numerous employee benefits to compensate his staff. Yes, the work speaks for itself but if there isn’t anyone there to back it up through customer relationships then customers will tend to look elsewhere.
This knowledge is crucial to running a successful company in any field and as the company grows so will a better understanding of these criteria to put Ace Gutter at the top of the list in Utah.
