Free roof inspection & estimate
Dearborn homeowners. A roofer, not a call center, gets back to you.
Steep roofs and big trees need better gutters
Dearborn’s older homes shed a lot of water fast. A steep bungalow or Tudor roof sends rain to the eaves quickly, and a small, sagging gutter can’t keep up, so it pours over the front edge onto the walk, the brick and the foundation. In an older house with a basement, that is often where the wet corner in spring comes from.
Then there are the trees. Many Dearborn streets are lined with mature maples and oaks, and every fall they fill the gutters. Clogged troughs overflow, hold water against the fascia and freeze solid in winter, adding weight that pulls the hangers loose.
We install seamless gutters that run in one piece from corner to corner, so there are no joints along the run to open up. We size the gutters and downspouts for the roof above them, pitch them to drain, fasten them with hidden hangers into solid wood, and add guards where the trees call for them. Downspouts are placed to carry water away from the foundation and the driveway. If the fascia or the roof edge behind the old gutters is rotted, we repair that first and photograph it, so the new gutters have something solid to hold on to.
Gutter work for Dearborn 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?

Getting water away from Dearborn foundations
On close-set lots, where the downspout drains matters as much as the gutter.
Many Dearborn homes sit on narrow lots with driveways along one side and a neighbor a few feet away on the other. That leaves less room to send water away from the house, so downspout placement takes some thought: away from the foundation, away from the walk where it freezes, and not into the yard next door. We plan the layout with you during the inspection, with Michigan’s spring downpours, fall leaves and winter freeze-thaw in mind.
Downspout placement
Water directed away from basements, walks and the house next door.
Leaf guards
Guards for homes under mature trees, so the gutters keep flowing in fall.
Solid fascia
Rotted fascia and roof edge repaired before the new gutters go up.
