Owner Derek Nieto

When Derek Nieto first visited Texas, it was love at first sight. He had finally found the place that he could feel comfortable enough to settle down and raise his family. After fifteen (15) years of working for other companies in the construction industry, he also felt the time was right to fulfill his dream of starting his own company. It was the perfect opportunity for him put all the different skills he had perfected to use. This was the field he knew the best and enjoyed the most. There was no question in Derek’s mind; he would start a full service rain gutter business.

In November of 2007, Derek moved his family to Benbrook, Texas. Armed with a pick up truck full of tools and a seamless gutter fabrication machine in tow, Derek set out to establish his business in the community. Running advertisements in local newspapers and on-line communities, Derek and the Benbrook Gutter Company were even featured in multiple “Business in the Spotlight” editions of the Benbrook/Western Hills News by Suburban Newspapers, Inc. As it turns out, it seems that Derek’s best advertisement is actually the work it self. He quickly established himself in the community, while networking with community contacts and business owners. After the initial promotion, much of the business today is generated through word of mouth: a satisfied customer telling a friend or neighbor about their positive experience with the Benbrook Gutter Company.

Raised in Phoenix, Arizona, Derek enlisted the United States Marine Corps. Upon discharge he moved to Seattle, Washington where he worked with a highly respected gutter company. It was there that he developed his interest with rainwater drainage systems and gained hands on experience in the field. Industrious, Derek also worked at the Washington State Reformatory as a Correctional Supervisor in a vocational program. After several years in Seattle; a chance at career advancement returned Derek to Phoenix where he joined the Arizona Carpenter’s Union and became a Master Carpenter. While employed with a Phoenix based construction company, he worked on various millwork (cabinets) projects. This position gave him experience on projects at the Phoenix Zoo, Redrock Resort and various casinos in Las Vegas; he also performed civil engineering for millwork at Google’s corporate office in Tempe, Arizona and at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. The final position he held with the company before moving to Benbrook, was that of Project Manager were he was responsible for managing the cost, time, and scope of numerous construction projects from the planning through the completion stages.

From rain gutter maintenance and cleaning, repair or removal of existing rain gutters or down spouts, installation of gutter leaf guard systems, or the fabrication and installation of new rain drainage systems – The Benbrook Gutter Company does it all.
