Gutter Guards for Less Maintenance
Cleaning gutters multiple times a year is something most homeowners would rather avoid. Our gutter guard systems help keep leaves, sticks, and other large debris out of your gutters while allowing rainwater to flow through the system.
For Southeast Michigan homes surrounded by mature trees, gutter guards can help reduce clogs, improve drainage, and significantly cut down on routine gutter cleaning.
Before installing gutter protection, we also make sure the gutters underneath are properly pitched, securely attached, and draining correctly. A gutter guard works best when the entire gutter system is designed to work together.
Seamless Gutter Options for Your Home
5 & 6 Inch
Gutters
The Right Size for Your Home’s Protection
The right gutter size depends on your home’s roof design, not just appearance. Roof area, pitch, valleys, gutter length, and downspout placement all affect how much water the system needs to handle. 5-inch gutters work well for many standard residential rooflines, while 6-inch gutters provide additional capacity for larger roofs, steeper pitches, long gutter runs, or areas where valleys concentrate heavy runoff. We evaluate the home and recommend the size that will provide the right balance of drainage, performance, and appearance.
Aluminum
& Copper
Beautiful, Durable, and Functional
We offer seamless aluminum and copper gutter systems to match a wide range of homes and exterior styles. Aluminum gutters are a durable, corrosion-resistant, and cost-effective option available in a variety of colors to coordinate with your roof, siding, and trim. Copper gutters provide a more distinctive architectural look and naturally develop a patina over time, making them especially well suited for historic homes, brick, stone, cedar, and other premium exterior finishes.
Seamlessly Installed
Custom-Fit, Leak-Free Protection for
Lasting Durability
Our seamless gutters are formed in long, continuous runs to fit your home’s roofline, reducing the number of joints and potential leak points compared with traditional sectional gutter systems. Each system is measured and installed with the proper pitch to direct water efficiently toward the downspouts. The result is a cleaner appearance and a gutter system designed specifically around your home’s drainage needs.

When do I need to replace my gutters?
Gutters that frequently clog or leak should be replaced because standing water can cause mold growth and foundation problems. Other signs of failing gutters include gutters pulling away from the roof, improper drainage, and significant wear and tear. It’s also acceptable to replace your gutters if you’re simply looking for a new color or style.
Frequently Asked Questions About Gutters
?
How often should I clean my gutters?
It’s recommended to clean your gutters at least twice a year—once in the spring and once in the fall. If your home is surrounded by trees, you may need to clean them more often to avoid clogs. To reduce the frequency of cleaning, we can also install gutter guards on your existing gutters, which help keep leaves and debris out while allowing rainwater to flow freely.
?
Can gutter guards be installed on my existing gutters?
In many cases, yes. The existing gutters should first be inspected to make sure they are properly pitched, securely attached, adequately sized, and in good enough condition to justify adding a gutter protection system.
