EZ-Gutter Guard unleashes industry game-changing SASQUATCH, hangerless gutter protection

High strength, continuous gutter protection that uses no hangers, installs with gutters, saving contractors valuable time and money.

The Beast has been unleashed in Las Vegas as SasquatchTM, the newest breakthrough innovation from E-Z Gutter Guard and Midwest Enterprises makes its debut at the International Roofing Expo (IRE) at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Booth #3153 and #3253.

Sasquatch isn’t your typical gutter guard. Sasquatch installs on the ground WITH the gutter for reinforced strength from end to end. It locks securely into the front hem of the gutter and is secured through a patent-pending rear screw ledge that allows screws to be pre-started on the ground. From there the entire system is fastened into the fascia, creating a strong connection that won’t rust, buckle or collapse under the weight of heavy snow and ice.

“Sasquatch has been a labor of love for the past five years,” says Perry Ealer, president and CEO of Midwest Enterprises. “As with all of our products, Sasquatch has been meticulously designed with the contractor in mind—easy to install, timesaving, no hangers and superior water management and durability once installed.”

Sasquatch is constructed with solid, perforated and painted .019” high-strength aluminum.  In areas where ice and snow loads are extreme, Sasquatch is also available in .022” heavy-duty Arctic Extreme. In areas where pine needles and oak pollen are prevalent, an optional Fine Debris Filter is available and installs quickly and easily over Sasquatch. 

“I believe we can save 30 minutes to an hour per gutter installation job using Sasquatch,” says Greg Aholt, president of Aholt’s Seamless Gutter in St. Louis, Missouri. “Using Sasquatch eliminates a second step of installing gutter protection after the gutter is on the house. It’s all in one, which gives us time to potentially get in another job during the day and make more money.”

Sasquatch carries a lifetime, limited, transferable warranty and meets critical ASTM 2768 fire-resistance standards for flame spread. When the Fine Debris filter is added, the Sasquatch system also meets the strict ASTM 2886 standard for ember intrusion. 

“We have been contractors, and we know contractors,” continues Ealer.  “We know what works and what doesn’t. Sasquatch is a whole new way of approaching gutters and gutter protection and this product is designed to make the whole process easier, more efficient and effective.”

Sasquatch is available through nationwide wholesale building material distributors. Go to E-Z Gutter’s Distributor Locator or email info@e-zgutter.com to learn more.
