Gutter installation, cleaning, repair & replacement across Michigan.
Michigan roofs get hit from every direction — 30-plus inches of rain, snow loads
that run from 40 inches Downriver to 90-plus along the lakeshore, and a winter
that crosses the freezing point dozens of times.

Four gutter services, one call.
Most gutter problems in Michigan fall into one of four jobs. Knowing which one you actually need saves money — a $180 cleaning often solves what looks like a $2,500 replacement.
Gutter Installation
New seamless aluminum, steel, or copper gutters roll-formed on site and sized for Michigan rain and snowmelt volume — not a national spec sheet.
Gutter Cleaning
Hand-clearing of troughs, miters, and downspouts — the only method that actually moves the packed maple seed, shingle grit, and wet leaf sludge Michigan roofs shed.
Gutter Repair
Sagging runs, split seams, pulled spikes, failed miters, and pitch problems corrected properly instead of buried under another bead of caulk.
Gutter Replacement
Full tear-out and re-hang when repair stops making financial sense — including the fascia and drip edge inspection most quotes skip entirely.

A climate that finds every weak point in a gutter system.
Detroit averages roughly 33 inches of rain and about 42 inches of snow a year. Grand Rapids and the West Michigan lakeshore get far more snow — 70 to 90 inches is normal in the lake-effect belt. Wherever you are in the Lower Peninsula, the water has to go somewhere, and gutters are the only part of the roof whose entire job is deciding where.
The bigger problem is not volume. It is the cycling.
Southeast Michigan crosses the freezing point somewhere between 60 and 70 times
in an average winter. Every crossing means water in the trough melts, runs to the
low point, and refreezes. Ice expands about 9 percent as it forms, and it does
that expansion inside seams, miters, and hanger holes that were never designed to
flex.
That is why Michigan gutters fail in patterns you rarely see in the South: split end caps, popped miters, spikes backing out of soft fascia, downspouts bulging at the elbow, and ice dams building along the eave because a full trough gave meltwater nowhere to go.
Getting it right here means sizing the trough and the downspouts to the actual roof area, hanging it on hidden hangers screwed into solid wood, and setting a pitch that clears standing water before it can freeze. That is the standard to hold any quote to.
City pages on GutterSquad Michigan cover what makes each place its own case — Detroit's pre-war housing and built-in box gutters, Grand Rapids' lake-effect snow load and hillside lots, and Ann Arbor's heavy tree canopy and historic districts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about how GutterSquad Michigan works and what gutter work costs in this state.
What does GutterSquad Michigan actually do?

Call 123-456-7890 and describe the house and what the gutters are doing.
How much does gutter work cost in Michigan?
Cleaning on a typical single-story Michigan home usually falls between $120 and $200, with two-story and steeply pitched roofs running $180 to $300. New seamless 5-inch aluminum gutter is commonly quoted at $8 to $14 per installed foot, and 6-inch runs $11 to $18.
Repairs start around a $150 to $250 minimum service call. Every one of those figures moves with roof height, linear footage, fascia condition, and material — which is why an on-site look is the only way to get a real number.
When is the best time of year to have gutters cleaned in Michigan?
Twice a year for most Michigan homes: once in late spring after the maple seeds and cottonwood fluff have dropped, and once in late fall after the last hardwood leaves are down — typically early to mid November across the Lower Peninsula.
The fall clean matters most. Gutters that go into a Michigan winter full of wet leaves freeze into a solid block, and that block is where ice dams start.
Do gutters really matter that much in Michigan?
More than in most states. Michigan combines heavy rain in May and June with 40 to 90 inches of annual snow depending on where you are, then cycles above and below freezing dozens of times each winter.
That freeze-thaw pattern is what turns a small clog into a split seam, a pulled spike, a rotted fascia board, or water in the basement. Gutters here take a beating that a system in a milder climate never sees.
Which Michigan cities do you cover?
Coverage runs across the Lower Peninsula, from Metro Detroit and Downriver through Ann Arbor, Lansing, Flint, the Great Lakes Bay Region, and West Michigan.
Detroit, Grand Rapids and Ann Arbor have full service pages live now, and other cities are being added one at a time. Whether or not a city has its own page yet, calling 123-456-7890 is the fastest way to find out whether a contractor covers your address.
Is there a form I can fill out instead of calling?
No. GutterSquad Michigan is call-only by design. A two-minute phone conversation gets the roof details, the urgency, and the address sorted far better than a form, and it means you are not waiting on an email reply.
