Stacey Schneider created SpoutTrim after her 5-year-old son cut himself on their downspout

He was running in the lawn and an accidental nick on the downspout edge resulted in a trip to the emergency room and 4 stitches in his foot. Stacey has two other small children and didn’t want to end up in the same situation again so she searched for a product to cover the sharp edges, but wasn’t able to find one. After learning thousands of people are injured every year from their downspouts sharp edges, she created SpoutTrim to protect her family and yours. As a bonus, besides protecting the sharp edges, SpoutTrim added a finished touch to the home’s exterior.
