Gutter Pro
Frequently Asked Questions

At Gutter Pro, we offer a variety of gutter styles to suit your needs and your home's aesthetic, specializing in seamless aluminum gutters that offer advanced protection against West Michigan weather. We custom-fit our seamless gutters on-site to match your home perfectly and minimize leaks. Our seamless gutter styles include:

• K-Style Gutters: The most popular choice for residential homes, offering a classic and efficient design.

• Half-Round Gutters: A more traditional style with a distinctive curved shape, often chosen for historical homes or those seeking a unique aesthetic.

• Box Gutters: A modern and sleek option, ideal for contemporary homes or commercial buildings.

Generally, we recommend cleaning your gutters at least twice a year — once in the spring and once in the fall. This helps prevent clogs from leaves, twigs, and other debris, ensuring proper water flow and protecting your home from water damage. If your property has many trees, you might need more frequent cleanings.

Look for these signs that your gutters may need replacement:

• Cracks, rust, or holes in the gutter system: These indicate wear and tear that can lead to leaks and water damage.

• Water pooling around your home's foundation: This suggests your gutters aren't effectively channeling water away from your home.

• Gutters that are sagging or pulling away from the house: This can be caused by clogs, improper installation, or age.

• Frequent clogs or leaks despite cleanings: This indicates a deeper issue with the gutter system.

Yes, we offer a variety of gutter covers to prevent clogs and reduce maintenance. Here are a few of the gutter protection systems we install:

• Snap Screen: Designed for larger leaves, sticks, and debris.

• Extreme Screen: Keeps out even the smallest debris like maple seeds, pine needles, and shingle granules.

• Leaf Proof: A solid aluminum cover designed for heavy debris, best used when tree branches are directly above the gutters.

Most of our gutter installations take just one day, depending on the size of your home and the complexity of the project.

Seamless gutters offer several advantages compared to traditional gutters with seams:

• Fewer Leaks: Seamless construction minimizes the risk of leaks compared to traditional sectional gutters.

• Less Maintenance: Fewer seams mean less chance of debris buildup and clogs.

• Clean Look: Seamless gutters provide a sleek and continuous appearance.

• Custom Fit: Gutter Pro seamless gutters are made on-site to fit your home precisely.

Rain gutters protect your home and property by...

• Preventing erosion: Erosion from rainwater can damage your foundation, landscaping, plants, patio, or driveway.

• Preventing basement flooding: Gutters direct water away from your foundation, reducing the risk of basement flooding.

• Protecting doors and windows: Gutters help prevent water damage to your doors and windows, which can lead to rot and decay.

Rain gutters require occasional cleaning to remove debris and ensure proper water flow. Installing gutter screens or covers, especially in areas with many trees, can significantly reduce the need for frequent cleaning.

Yes! At Gutter Pro, we work year-round in all weather conditions.

While gutters can help with water drainage, they don't completely prevent ice buildup. Ice dams are primarily caused by heat loss through the roof, which melts snow that then refreezes at the colder edges of the roof.
