Client Spotlight: K-Guard of West Michigan

We’re excited to help celebrate the grand opening of the KGuard of West Michigan new Plainfield showroom in Grand Rapids.

Stop by June 24 from 3:00 - 5:00 PM to meet the team, tour the showroom, see the K-Guard Leaf Free Gutter System up close, enjoy food from F'n K Tacos , and enter for a chance to win giveaways with Star 105.7 on-site.

As K-Guard of West Michigan’s website and digital marketing partner, we’ve had the privilege of supporting their online presence through web design, SEO, and ongoing strategy that helps more homeowners understand what makes their gutter system different.

This client spotlight is personal for us, too. Our Creative Director, Stephen Geldersma, chose the K-Guard Gutter System for his own home after dealing with constant clogs and drainage issues from an existing basic gutter system that was not solving the problem. After seeing the product firsthand, we believe in the system, the service, and the team behind it.

Proud to support a local company helping West Michigan homeowners protect their homes with a better gutter solution.

If your business falls apart when you step away, it’s not built right yet.

Build the team. Build the systems.

You do not have to check in nonstop anymore. But let’s be real - you still do.

Business owners just change locations.
