Frequently Asked Questions

Gutters are designed to collect rain water and place it away from the foundation. They also keep water from rotting doors and windows.

Gutters are typically priced by the lineal foot. Gutter removal, corners, downspouts etc... will likely be priced ale carte. 5" gutters are common for Michigan. More and more of our home builders are using the larger 6". Soon, 6" will become the standard. I put 6" on my family's homes

Most gutters are aluminum and will not rust. They should last for decades if kept clean but we recommend you invest in a set when you replace the roof. Michigan weather and temperature changes are brutal to the hangers and caulk. Also, deforming the metal

If your neighbor does...so should you. What I mean to say is, most neighborhoods are built around the year. Aging is near the same.

If your gutters are leaking, pulling away from the house or installed with the outdated Spike and ferrule system. We use a very durable hidden hanger that is built to last.

If the wood is rotted, it should be replaced. I always recommend adding a aluminum fascia to weather proof the lumber

Leaders are more typically known as downspouts. The attach to the gutter and channel the water to the ground. 3x4 rectangular are standard with our installs, not the smaller, restrictive 2x3.

The new "High Volume Miter" handles water from any size valley with out splash over. It also allows the water to move very efficiently through the gutters.

Unless they’re clean and free from debris, the gutters on your house can’t do their job. The purpose of a gutter system is to divert rainwater away from home. They catch the rain and channel it into downspouts that direct the water away from the house. This protects the windows and doors from leaks, the foundation from damage, and the basement from puddles of water. This is why we provide gutter cleaning services in Michigan.

Let us take a ladder and get rid of the debris that collects in the system over time. Mostly, it’s leaves, but there may be debris of another kind from soil to pebbles and roofing shingles. These don’t allow water to drain through the system. Instead, it spills over onto the house, ending up around the foundation. From there, it travels inside, adding unwanted puddles of water to the basement or crawlspace.

Another risk from the unwanted accumulation of water is mold. Anywhere there is an accumulation of water, mold and mildew grow. These impact the respiratory systems of those living inside, especially those who have asthma and other breathing difficulties. These problems are solved easily with a call to our company for gutter cleaning services in Michigan
