Gutter Installation and Repair in Fraser, MI
Overflowing, dripping, sagging or pulling away from the house: each of those means rainwater isn't going where it should. In Fraser, we find out why, then fix the gutters you have or put up new ones.
We install seamless gutters and downspouts to carry rainwater away from your home and foundation. Our office is in Sterling Heights, and Fraser visits are set up from there.
How do you know your gutters need work?
Watch for water spilling over the edge, drips at the joints, sagging runs, rust, and sections pulling away from the house. Any one of those means the system isn't moving water to the downspouts.
Water spilling over the edge
If water pours over the top in an ordinary rain, it isn't reaching the downspout. Three things get checked: clogs in the trough, the pitch of the run, and the downspout itself.
A run that sags or pulls away
A gutter sags where its fasteners have let go or where weight has built up in the trough. Once the fastening and pitch are checked, you'll get a straight answer: re-secure the run or replace it.
Rust and leaking joints
These mean the gutter itself is breaking down. Sometimes a short section can be repaired, and sometimes a new seamless run makes more sense. Either way, you see the photos and make the call.
Repair or new gutters: how we decide
The rule is simple: fix what can be fixed, and replace what can't. When one section is the problem, that's where the work goes.
When the problems run the length of the gutter, a new seamless run is the better call, and the photos will show you why. Before anything starts, you get a written estimate that lists the work and the materials.
When the problem isn't the gutter
If water is showing up on ceilings or walls inside, the roof may be the source, not the gutters. Roofing is our main work, with more than 25 years in the trade behind it, so mention any inside stains when you call.

Gutter questions from Fraser homeowners
What causes gutters to sag?
Gutters sag when their fasteners loosen or pull out of the fascia, often because the gutter has been carrying wet debris, standing water or ice. A run hung without enough pitch can hold water and sag as well. Re-securing fixes some sags, but a run that's bent along its length needs to be replaced.
How do I know if my gutters need repair or replacement?
Problems in one spot, like a single loose section or one leaky corner, point to a repair. Problems spread along the run, like rust in several places, repeat leaks or sagging from end to end, point to replacement. A free inspection with photos will show you which side of that line you're on.
Can you fix just one section?
Yes. If the rest of the run is in good shape, the damaged section gets repaired and resealed by itself. Nobody's going to sell you a full replacement when one section is the only problem.
Do you clean gutters in Fraser too?
Yes, we clean gutters in Fraser, along with repairs and new installs. The downspouts get cleared too, and if the cleaning turns up a loose section or a leaky joint, you'll hear about it.
Why do my gutters overflow in heavy rain?
Overflow in a downpour points to a clog, a run that isn't pitched toward its downspout, or a downspout that's blocked or can't keep up. Checking all three tells you whether the fix is cleaning, re-pitching the run or adding a downspout.
