Old gutters on older houses hide the real damage
On a lot of Dearborn homes the gutters have been patched for years: a new end cap here, a spike driven back in there, a bead of sealant along a leaking seam. Eventually the patches stop working. The gutters sag between hangers, drip at every joint, tip away from the house or overflow no matter how often they are cleaned.
The bigger problem is usually behind them. Years of overflow soak the fascia board, and on older houses that wood may be original. Once it softens, nothing holds a gutter for long. Water can also wick into the roof edge and the soffit, and in winter the extra weight of ice pulls loose gutters right off the house.
So when we replace gutters, we take the old ones down and look at what they were hiding. Rotted fascia and soft roof edge get repaired and photographed first. Then we hang new seamless gutters, sized for the roof and pitched to drain, with hidden hangers fastened into solid wood and downspouts placed to carry water away from the foundation. If the roof itself is near the end of its life, we tell you, because replacing both together lets the drip edge and gutters work as one system.
When Dearborn gutters need replacing
One of these is often a repair. Several together usually mean replacement.
Sagging or pulling away
Gutters that dip or lean out between hangers no longer hold their pitch, so water sits instead of draining.
Leaks at every seam
Sectional gutters with many joints drip once the sealant ages, and resealing them buys only a season or two.
Bent by ice & snow
Snow sliding off the roof and ice in the trough can crush, twist or kink gutters past straightening.
Rotted fascia
Soft, stained or crumbling fascia means water has been getting behind the gutter for a long time.
Undersized for the roof
If gutters overflow in every heavy rain even when clean, they can’t carry what the roof sends them.
Water at the foundation
Pooling, washed-out mulch or a damp basement often trace back to failed gutters and short downspouts.
Which fix fits your gutters
We don’t start from replacement. If your gutters are the right size, still hold their pitch and only have a few problem spots, a repair is the honest answer and we’ll tell you so.
Replacement makes sense when the problems are everywhere at once or when the fascia behind them has failed. And if your roof is near the end of its life, it can be smart to replace both together, since the gutters come off for the new drip edge anyway. You’ll see photos of what we find and get the options in writing.
Fascia repair is part of the decision. If only a short stretch of board is soft, it can be replaced without touching the rest of the system. If rot runs along most of the house, the gutters have to come down anyway, and that is usually the right time to put up new seamless gutters sized for the roof instead of rehanging old ones.

Real reviews from homeowners across Metro Detroit.
“Kincaide did a phenomenal job fixing up my garage roof and siding. They also cleaned up the area after so my dog wouldn’t get hurt. Everytime there was any issue found during installation, they provided picture evidence. They also were the best cost when compared to other companies. Highly recommend.”
“Kincaide roofing went above and beyond our expectations. Scott (the owner) took pictures of every step and fix he made. They were punctual, thorough and very professional. No B.S. with Scott, the communication was straight forward and gave us briefings every night before they left.”
“Very awesome, professional experience with Kincaide!!! Scott and his crew is wonderful. They do good work, really put things in terms so that people can understand things better. We will definitely be sticking with KINCAIDE!!!”
What a Dearborn winter does to old gutters
Most failed gutters we replace in Dearborn were finished off by snow and ice.
Snow sliding off steep Dearborn roofs hits the gutters hard, ice fills the troughs and adds weight, and freeze-thaw cycles work water into every seam and into the fascia behind. Add leaves from the mature trees that line so many streets in east and west Dearborn, and old gutters overflow, freeze and bend. By spring they are sagging and the wood behind them is soft. We replace both so the new system stays put.
Sagging runs
Spikes pulled out of soft fascia after a winter of ice and sliding snow.
Rotted fascia

Leaking seams
