Custom-formed aluminum gutters, cut to length on site for a cleaner, longer-lasting system with far fewer leak points than sectional gutters.
Sectional gutters are assembled from pre-cut lengths joined together every few feet, and every joint is a place water can eventually seep through as sealant ages. Seamless gutters are different: we run a portable forming machine on site and extrude a single continuous piece of aluminum coil stock to match the exact length of each roofline run. The only seams are at corners and end caps, which cuts down dramatically on the number of potential leak points compared to sectional systems.
Most Lansing-area homes are well served by 5-inch or 6-inch K-style aluminum gutters, generally in .027" or heavier gauge aluminum. Larger rooflines, steep pitches, and homes with mature trees dropping heavy debris loads often do better with 6-inch gutters and larger downspouts, simply because they move more water per minute during a hard mid-Michigan downpour. We size the system to your roof's actual square footage and pitch, not a one-size-fits-all default.
Aluminum gutters come in a range of baked-on enamel finishes to match trim, fascia, or roof color. We'll bring color samples to your estimate so you can match your home's existing exterior rather than guessing from a swatch online.
Late summer and early fall — before leaf drop and before the first hard freeze — is the best installation window for most Lansing homeowners, since it gets a new system in place before the gutters have to handle a full autumn leaf load and winter freeze-thaw cycles. That said, we install year-round; a delayed installation is often worse for your home than working around cold-weather logistics.
If your property has mature trees, ask about adding gutter guards at the time of installation — it's more cost-effective to install guards alongside new gutters than as a separate project later.
