Gutters that keep up with the trees
On a wooded Farmington Hills lot, gutters work harder than almost anywhere else. Oak and maple leaves in the fall, seeds and flowers in the spring, and twigs after every windstorm all end up in the trough. Once a gutter or downspout clogs, water spills over the front edge, soaks the fascia, splashes against the brick and siding, and pools along the foundation, which is how many wet basements start.
Seamless gutters run in one continuous piece along each side of the house, so there are no joints along the run to open up and drip. We size the gutters and downspouts for the area and pitch of the roof above them, set the slope so water reaches the outlets, and add downspouts where a long run or a valley dumps a lot of water in one place.
Where trees hang over the house, gutter guards can cut down on how often you need to clean. We install them with the gutters and fasten everything with hidden hangers into solid fascia. And because we are roofers, we make sure the drip edge laps into the gutter so roof water lands where it should.
Gutter work for Farmington Hills homes
Everything that moves water from the roof edge to a safe spot in the yard.
Seamless gutters
One continuous run between corners, with no seams along the length to leak or pull apart.
Downspouts & extensions
Enough downspouts for the roof area, placed so water lands well away from the foundation.
Gutter guards
Covers that keep leaves, seeds and shingle grit out so the gutter keeps flowing between cleanings.
Sizing to the roof
Steep, large or valley-fed roof sections push more water; we size the gutter and outlets to match.
Ice & snow detailing
Solid hangers, the right pitch and ice and water shield at the eaves so winter ice does less harm.
Gutter repairs
Leaking corners, loose hangers and clogged or crushed downspouts fixed when the system is still worth keeping.
Gutters, guards and downspouts, side by side
Not every house needs every option. A ranch with no trees nearby may only need properly sized seamless gutters and a couple of well-placed downspouts. A two-story with oaks and maples over the roof will spend every fall clogging unless it has guards.
During the free inspection we look at the roof pitch and size, where the valleys dump water, the trees overhead and where the yard slopes, then recommend what the house actually needs. You get it in writing with photos of the problem spots, so you can compare it fairly.
If the gutters you have are the right size and still hold their pitch, we’ll say so. Sometimes a few added downspouts, longer extensions or a set of guards solve the problem without new gutters at all. And if the roof itself is near the end of its life, we’ll point that out too, because gutters are best replaced when the new drip edge goes on.
| Option | What it solves | Good fit when |
|---|---|---|
| Seamless guttersOne piece per run | Joints leak | Old gutters are sectional |
| Larger gutter sizeMore capacity | Overflow in storms | Steep or large roof planes |
| Added downspoutsFaster drainage | Water pools at corners | Long runs, one outlet |
| Gutter guardsKeeps debris out | Constant clogs | Trees over the roof |
| Downspout extensionsMoves water away | Wet basement or erosion | Yard slopes to the house |

Fighting ice dams?

Leaves in fall, ice in winter
Farmington Hills gutters deal with two seasons that are hard on them back to back.
In the fall, a heavy tree canopy fills gutters in a matter of weeks. If that debris is still there when winter arrives, it freezes in place, water can’t drain, and the gutter fills with ice that pulls on the hangers and feeds ice dams at the eaves. Snow sliding off the roof adds more weight in late winter.
In spring and summer, heavy rain from thunderstorms tests whether the downspouts are large enough and whether water is carried away from the foundation. We plan the system for all of it.
Leaf load
Guards and larger downspouts where heavy tree cover fills gutters every fall.
Foundation drainage
Downspouts placed and extended to move water away from the basement walls.
Solid hangers
Hidden hangers into sound fascia so gutters hold under ice and snow.
