Seamless gutter installation in Macomb County
We install seamless gutters and downspouts to carry rainwater away from your home and foundation.
Gutter repair and gutter cleaning are part of the job too, including gutters damaged in a storm. Our office is in Sterling Heights, and our gutter work covers homes and businesses across Macomb County and Metro Detroit.
What "seamless" means
Seamless gutters are made in continuous runs instead of short sections joined together, so there are fewer seams along the run. Fewer seams means fewer joints that can open up and drip.
Pitch, fastening and where the water goes
A gutter only does its job if water runs to the downspouts and away from the house. It can look perfectly straight and still overflow when the pitch is off, so pitch and fastening get as much attention as the gutter itself.
Pitch
Each run needs a slight slope toward its outlet so water doesn't sit in the trough. That slope is checked before the estimate is written.
Hangers and fastening
Hangers hold the gutter to the house. Secure fastening keeps the run in line and helps it hold up under the weight of water, snow and ice.
Outlets and downspouts
Downspouts should empty away from the foundation, not right beside it. Part of the visit is looking at where yours empty now and where they should.
Signs your gutters need repair or replacement
Overflowing, leaking, sagging or pulling away from the house are all signs your gutters need attention. Any of these is a reason to have them looked at:
- Water spilling over the edge
- Drips or leaks at the seams
- Sagging runs between hangers
- Rust spots or rust holes
- Sections pulling away from the house
After the inspection, you'll know whether a repair will bring the run back to the right pitch or whether gutter replacement is the better call.
Storm-damaged gutters
Gutters damaged in a storm can be repaired. Wind, hail and heavy rain can dent them or pull sections loose, and those runs are fixed or replaced as needed.
If the roof took a hit in the same storm, our storm damage roof repair page explains how the inspection and photos work.
Gutter cleaning
Clogged gutters send water over the edge instead of down the spouts. Gutter cleaning clears out the leaves and debris so the water has somewhere to go.
New homes and existing homes
Seamless gutters can go on existing homes and on new construction. Whether you're replacing a worn-out system or need gutters on a house that was just built, it starts the same way: a look at the roof edge, the pitch and where the water should go.
Gutters, roof edge and siding
Gutters, the roof edge and siding all meet in the same place, so a problem with one can involve the others. If your gutters fill with ice in winter, an ice dam at the roof edge may be part of the cause, and both get checked.Our ice dam and roof repair page explains that side of it.
Planning new siding too?Our vinyl siding page covers that work.

Gutter questions
What causes gutters to sag?
Gutters sag when the hangers loosen or pull out of the board behind them, or when the run is carrying more weight than it should from clogs, standing water, snow or ice. Once a section dips, water collects there and adds even more weight. A repair can refasten the run and reset the pitch. If the gutter itself is bent or rusted through, replacement makes more sense.
How often should gutters be replaced?
There's no set schedule. Gutters should be replaced when repairs can't get them working right anymore. Signs include rust holes, seams that keep leaking after repair, runs that won't hold their pitch and sections that keep pulling away. An inspection tells you whether a repair will do or a new seamless run is the better choice.
How much do seamless gutters cost?
Cost depends on how much gutter the house needs, the number of downspouts and corners, and whether old gutters have to come off first. Once the roofline is measured, you'll get a written estimate. The inspection itself costs nothing.
Do you repair gutters, or only install new ones?
Both. Along with installing new seamless gutters and downspouts, Ultra Services Roofing repairs damaged gutters, including storm damage, and cleans gutters that overflow.
Do you install gutters on new construction?
Yes. Seamless gutters go on new construction as well as existing homes. The visit covers the roof edge, the pitch and where the downspouts should go, and the estimate spells out the layout.
What do I do if my gutters are full of ice?
Don't climb up and chip at it. Ice-packed gutters are heavy and slippery, and hacking at them can damage the gutter and the roof edge. Ice in the gutters can point to an ice dam on the roof, so call or text to have the roof edge and gutters checked together, with any ice dam removed safely.
