Gutters fail for the same reasons every time: hangers pull loose, seams separate, downspouts clog.
Michigan winters are brutal on gutters. Freeze-thaw cycles crack sealants and loosen hangers as water expands and contracts. Ice dams form along the roofline when snow melts and refreezes, backing water up under shingles and into the fascia. Spring thaw dumps heavy water volume that stresses joints and downspouts, especially if they're clogged from winter debris.
Summer brings sustained rainfall that tests every seam and hanger on your gutter system. If the pitch isn't right or hangers are spaced too far apart, water pools and sits instead of flowing. That standing water accelerates rust on steel and deterioration on aluminum. By fall, Michigan homeowners are dealing with sagging gutters, separated joints, and downspouts that can't keep up with the next round of storms.
Seams, miters, and end caps are the most common leak points. We clean the joint down to bare metal, apply professional-grade sealant, and test with running water before we leave.
When hangers corrode or fascia softens, gutters drop and pool water. We re-pitch the run to proper slope, replace failed hangers, and re-secure to solid fascia so water moves to the downspouts.
Crushed, dented, or rusted-through sections get cut out and replaced with new material matched to the existing system. The splice is sealed and tested — invisible from the ground.
Hail dents, wind-pulled runs, and fallen limb impacts. We photograph everything for your insurance claim, provide a written estimate, and coordinate directly with your adjuster.
We operate across Michigan metros with locally hired crews who know how rain gutters function in cold winters and heavy spring runoff. Whether you need gutter cleaning, seamless gutter installation, or repair and replacement work, we show up in person and handle it right.
Not every gutter problem needs a full replacement. Here's how to tell the difference:
During the free estimate, we'll show you exactly what's wrong and whether a repair will hold or if you'd be putting money into a system that's past its useful life. No pressure either way — we do both.
We've been doing gutter repair and installation across Michigan for nearly two decades. Here's what homeowners in the Michigan metro area have to say about our gutter services.
"Tom's crew came out to fix our sagging gutters on a Saturday morning. They didn't just patch it—they explained exactly what was wrong, why it happened, and what we needed. New seamless gutter installation, proper pitch, hidden hangers every foot. Two weeks later during a heavy rain, zero leaks. That's the kind of gutter work that actually lasts." — Sarah M., Farmington Hills
"We had clogged gutters so bad water was running down the side of our house. Called three gutter companies. This one showed up, cleaned them out by hand, and didn't try to sell us something we didn't need. Fair price, no upsell. They came back six months later for maintenance like they said they would." — Mike R., Dearborn
"After a storm knocked our gutters loose, we needed repair fast. They were here in three days with aluminum gutters and proper downspout routing. The work looks clean, the pitch is right, and the estimate they gave us matched the final bill exactly. No surprises." — Jennifer T., Ann Arbor
Most gutter repair jobs in Michigan run between $150 and $500, depending on what's wrong. A single downspout replacement or a few new hangers is on the lower end. If you've got sagging gutters that need reinforcement or sections that need patching, you're looking at more. Storm damage—ice dams, hail, wind damage—can push costs higher, but that's often covered by homeowner's insurance, so check your policy first.
Ice dams. Michigan winters are brutal on gutters, and ice buildup is our number one repair call from November through March. Water backs up under your shingles, freezes, and creates a dam that prevents melt from draining. The weight of that ice also pulls hangers loose and can sag the entire system. We also see a lot of rust and separation on older aluminum gutters after freeze-thaw cycles—the metal expands and contracts, and seams start to fail. Keeping your gutters clean in fall helps, but in Michigan's climate, some damage is just inevitable.
We can usually get you in within a week, sometimes sooner depending on the season. Summer's our busiest time, so if you call in July or August, you might wait 10 days. Winter and early spring we move faster because fewer people think about gutters until something breaks. If you've got active water damage or a roof leak tied to your gutters, we prioritize that and try to get someone out within a few days.
Storm damage usually does—hail, wind, ice dams that cause roof leaks. But regular wear and tear, rust, or damage from neglect? That's on you. File a claim if you've had a recent storm and your gutters are damaged, but know that your deductible applies. We've worked with insurance adjusters plenty of times and can help document damage for your claim. Just don't wait too long to report it.
