What Are Seamless Gutters—And Why Michigan Homes & Businesses Love Them

/in /by

If your gutters are constantly overflowing, starting to sag, or need frequent patch jobs just to stay functional, it might be time for an upgrade. These are telltale signs of standard sectional gutters, which are more prone to wear and tear—especially here in Michigan, where the weather can be tough on exterior systems.

That’s where seamless gutters come in.

Whether you’re a homeowner or managing a commercial property, seamless gutters offer a durable, low-maintenance, and attractive solution that’s built to handle Michigan’s unique climate.

So, What Exactly Are Seamless Gutters?

Unlike traditional gutters that are installed in multiple sections joined by seams, seamless gutters are custom-made from a single continuous piece of material. That means fewer joints, less room for error, and a cleaner, more professional look. They’re measured and cut on-site to perfectly fit the dimensions of your building—whether it’s a cozy ranch-style home or a large commercial office.

Why Go Seamless in Michigan?

Let’s take a look at why seamless gutters are becoming a go-to for both residential and commercial properties across the state:

✅ Fewer Leaks, Less Hassle

Seams are the weak points in any gutter system—they’re where leaks start, debris builds up, and wear shows fastest. Seamless gutters eliminate most of these trouble spots, which means less maintenance and a much lower risk of water damage, even during Michigan’s heavy spring rains and icy winters.

✅ Low-Maintenance, All Season Long

From snow melt to summer storms, gutters in Michigan work overtime. Seamless systems are tougher, more efficient, and more resistant to clogging, rusting, or sagging over time. That translates to fewer cleanouts, fewer repairs, and more peace of mind year-round.

✅ Custom-Fit for Homes and Businesses

Whether you’re protecting a residential roofline or a long commercial storefront, seamless gutters are built on-site to match your exact structure. That perfect fit ensures maximum performance and prevents issues like foundation erosion or water pooling, which can lead to costly structural repairs.

✅ Boost Curb Appeal

Let’s be honest—standard sectional gutters aren’t exactly beautiful. Seamless gutters have a sleek, streamlined appearance that enhances the look of any building. Choose from a wide variety of colors, shapes, and materials (like aluminum, copper, or steel) to match or complement your property’s exterior style.

✅ Built to Handle Michigan’s Weather

Between snow, ice, rain, and falling leaves, Michigan gutters go through a lot. Seamless gutters are up to the task. Their durable design makes them less likely to crack, split, or sag under pressure, so they last longer and perform better, no matter what the seasons bring.

Residential or Commercial—Seamless Works for Everyone

Whether you’re a homeowner tired of cleaning out your gutters every fall, or a property manager looking for a long-term solution for your business, seamless gutters are a smart investment. They offer better protection, lower maintenance costs, and a cleaner look than their sectional counterparts.

Gutter Screens or Gutter Covers: Which One is Right for You?

/in /by

Picture this: your gutters are freshly cleaned or newly installed, and you feel a wave of relief knowing they’re in perfect shape. But then—like clockwork—a leaf drifts down and lands inside. How long before your gutters start filling up with leaves and debris again?

If this scenario sounds familiar, it’s time to explore ways to protect your gutter system. Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered! Read on to compare gutter covers and gutter screens to find the best option for your home.

Gutter Covers: What Are They?

Gutter covers are designed to sit over your gutters, preventing debris from falling in while still allowing water to flow through. Instead of rainwater dropping directly into the gutters, it glides over the cover’s curved surface before landing inside.

✅ Pros of Gutter Covers:

  • Highly effective at blocking most debris

  • Allows water to flow smoothly into the gutters

  • Reduces the need for frequent gutter cleaning

❌ Cons of Gutter Covers:

  • May impact the visual appeal of your home

  • More challenging to install without professional help

Gutter Screens: What Are They?

Gutter screens are made from metal or mesh-like material and sit directly on top of your gutters. They allow water in through small perforations while blocking larger debris.

✅ Pros of Gutter Screens:

  • More affordable and easier to install

  • Blends seamlessly with your existing gutter system

  • Effectively prevents larger debris from clogging gutters

❌ Cons of Gutter Screens:

  • Small debris (pine needles, tiny seeds) can slip through

  • Requires more frequent cleaning to remove debris buildup

Which Option Is Best for Your Home?

Choosing between gutter covers and screens depends on your priorities—whether it’s aesthetics, maintenance, or cost. Still unsure? Give Gutters R Us a call at 269-781-5935, and we’ll help you find the perfect solution!

The Benefits of Clean Gutters and Gutter Protection

/in /by

Prevent Roof Damage

Clogged gutters trap wet debris, leading to serious roofing issues like roof rot, mold, and mildew. Over time, this can compromise your home’s structure and even impact indoor air quality, posing health risks to occupants.

Avoid Foundation Damage

When gutters can’t properly drain due to blockages, water can seep into the framework and foundation, causing costly damage. One common sign? A flooded basement, especially during snowmelt. Persistent or prolonged flooding can lead to cracks in the foundation, weakening the entire structure.

Protect Your Lawn & Prevent Pests

Proper gutter drainage directs excess water away from your property, preventing lawn damage and standing waterwhere mosquitoes breed. It also helps keep fertilizer in place and protects plants from overwatering, keeping your landscaping healthy and vibrant.

We offer Champion Gutter Guards, Made in the U.S.A!

/in /by

Champion Gutter Guard was designed through a collaboration between engineers and gutter installation experts to be a product that homeowners love and that dealers love to install. Our goal is to bring a gutter protection product to market that above all functions reliably, is simple to install, and a superior value.

The product features a Type 30 surgical grade stainless steel micro mesh from McNichols Company in Washington State with openings measuring .0213”, 590 microns. Competitors often use a finer mesh that is much more likely to require periodic maintenance. The holes are small enough to keep out roof granules, pine needles, and any larger debris from entering the gutters but are large enough to allow pollen and bio-organic material to pass through and flush out the gutter system.

The frame base is comprised of .019” aluminum supplied from Alsco Metals Corporation of Virginia. It is made from the same material and gauge as downspouts and has the same manufacturer’s materials warranty. Approximately 92% is recycled aluminum.

*Highly durable wire gauge, non-corrosive, surgical grade stainless steel micro mesh keeps out all debris. The mesh will never shred or fray when cutting.

*Optimal hole size for guaranteed maximum water consumption at 60 gallons per minute, 150” per hour.

*The stainless steel screen is held in place to the solid aluminum substrate with double crimped Pittsburgh seams. There are no glues, pins or caulkings used in the production.

*Virtually maintenance-free. Accumulation of debris on top of the system is rare. In almost all cases little to no maintenance is required. Depending on conditions, stubborn accumulations of debris may have to occasionally be removed from the top of the product.

*One piece aluminum frame for maximum strength. 46” panel length. Fascia mount dramatically strengthens the entire gutter system.

*Non-intrusive design maintains home appearance. Fascia mount installs without lifting shingles.

*Installs fast and easy with no overlapping of panels required or any additional accessories of any kind, although screws are not supplied.
