The RGA Team

Tony Cobb
RGA Founder

Tony, the visionary behind the Rain Gutter Association, embarked on his journey in the home improvement industry in 1988 as a college student painting houses. He soon recognized a crucial need among his clients: expert rain gutter services. This insight led him to establish All Gutter Systems, which has since become Michigan's leading gutter company.


Tony was instrumental in founding the Rain Gutter Association and was driven by his extensive network of gutter contractors and his desire to elevate the industry's professional standards. Today, our association proudly offers installation and safety training to gutter contractors across the USA and Canada, steered by Tony's dedicated team in Grandville, MI.


With over three decades of experience, Tony has earned the respect and admiration of his peers and is affectionately known as the “Godfather of Gutters.”
