Detroit’s Trusted Gutter Experts
Professional Gutter Cleaning Services
Our LeafFilter team is right here in Detroit, and we’ve seen how Michigan’s heavy spring rains and falling leaves can wreak havoc on gutters. Our locally trained professionals can clean out your gutters and recommend long-term solutions to help prevent water damage caused by clogged gutters.
Signs Your Gutters Need Cleaning in Detroit
Our team at LeafFilter has inspected thousands of homes across Metro Detroit. When we evaluate whether your gutters need professional cleaning, here’s what we look for:
Protecting Your Home Starts with LeafFilter
Preserve Your Home’s Value
Clean gutters help protect your home from water damage that can lead to expensive repairs. Detroit gets its fair share of rain throughout the year, and when gutters get clogged, that water has to go somewhere—usually toward your foundation, siding, or landscaping. LeafFilter’s fully trained and insured local professionals make sure your gutters drain properly through every season.
Stop Water Damage Before It Starts
Clogged gutters can lead to water damage affecting your foundation, basement, and siding—often the damage begins before any obvious signs appear. Detroit’s rainfall and seasonal storms mean your gutters need to handle a lot of water. Regular gutter cleaning helps reduce the risk of water damage, and LeafFilter also offers long-term protection solutions if you’re ready to move beyond the maintenance cycle.
Regular Gutter Maintenance
Detroit’s tree-lined streets are beautiful, but all those leaves end up somewhere—usually in your gutters. Between spring storms, summer downpours, and fall leaf drop, gutters need attention several times a year. Professional gutter maintenance from LeafFilter keeps your drainage system clear and working properly through every season.
Benefits of Regular Gutter Cleaning Services
Prevent Foundation Damage
In Detroit, where spring storms and heavy rainfall are common, clogged gutters spell trouble. When debris blocks your gutters, water overflows and pools around your foundation. Over time, this leads to cracks, settling, and expensive structural repairs. Professional gutter cleaning helps maintain proper water flow, directing it away from your home. For Detroit homeowners seeking a long-term solution, LeafFilter’s gutter protection system is engineered to help prevent common debris from entering gutters, helping protect your foundation year-round.
Potential Cost:
$5,000 – $40,000
Reduce Roof and Fascia Deterioration
Clogged gutters don’t just threaten your foundation—they can damage your roof too. When leaves pile up, water backs up under shingles and soaks the wooden fascia boards behind your gutters. This moisture causes rot and deterioration that leads to costly repairs. With Detroit’s weather ranging from summer downpours to spring thaw, keeping gutters clear is essential. Professional gutter cleaning helps extend your roof’s lifespan and helps reduce the risk of costly damage. LeafFilter’s fully trained and insured local professionals understand what it takes to help protect your home’s roof system.
Potential Cost:
$3,000 – $15,000
Stop Pest Infestations
Here’s what many homeowners don’t realize: clogged gutters attract pests. That soggy mixture of leaves and standing water becomes a breeding ground for mosquitoes, while rodents love nesting in the debris. Professional gutter cleaning removes these habitats and helps deter pests from your property. For those tired of repeated cleanings, LeafFilter is engineered to help prevent common debris from entering gutters, which helps reduce pest attraction. Our gutter protection system delivers full gutter system protection that helps safeguard Detroit homes from clogs and unwanted visitors.
Potential Cost:
$2,000 – $8,000

Gutter Cleaning Schedule for Detroit
Spring Cleaning
Spring Gutter Cleaning in Detroit
Spring in Detroit means melting snow, April showers, and plenty of debris washing into your gutters. After months of harsh Michigan winter, you’ll likely find a mix of leaves, twigs, and grime that’s been sitting there since fall. Getting your gutters cleaned in spring helps reduce the risk of water damage to your foundation, siding, and landscaping—especially important as those spring storms roll through. When gutters overflow, water goes where it shouldn’t, potentially causing structural problems that cost serious money to fix. Professional gutter cleaning means someone thoroughly inspects and clears your system so water flows properly throughout the rainy season. This proactive maintenance helps protect your home from the moisture issues that frequently hit Detroit-area properties during spring thaw.
Fall Cleaning
Fall Gutter Maintenance for Homeowners
Fall is when Detroit homeowners really need to pay attention to their gutters. As trees drop their leaves—along with seed pods and other organic debris—gutters fill up fast, creating blockages that stop proper drainage. Scheduling professional gutter cleaning in fall helps ensure your system can handle whatever winter throws at it. And Southeast Michigan winters throw a lot. When gutters stay clogged heading into cold weather, trapped moisture and debris can break down your gutters and reduce their effectiveness. Professional cleaners remove all that accumulated debris, check for potential problems, and make sure downspouts are directing water away from your foundation. This seasonal maintenance helps keep your home protected year-round and reduces the chance of surprise gutter problems when Detroit’s winter weather hits.

See What Our Customers Are Saying
Verified Customer
“The salesperson took the time to inspect the gutters and noted any issues. Also he carefully explained what we currently had and why leaf filter was better suited to our needs. He then worked on getting us every possible discount to bring down the cost and worked with his manager to bring it down further to what we could afford. The install team was able to come a week early and got everything cleaned out, repaired, installed and cleaned up, all while following Covid protocols. The process was easy and yet thorough and not rushed. I was very impressed with the entire experience and would recommend to my friends and family.”
Verified Customer
“The salesperson gave a very comprehensive description of the product and its advantages over other gutter protection systems. He demonstrated what he was talking about. He also arranged financing at 0% interest for 12 months which made it possible for us to go ahead with this project. I also like the fact that the gutters were thoroughly cleaned and all joints coated with silicone to prevent leaking. In addition, brackets were placed it frequent intervals to stabilize the gutter to the house and to retain its proper shape. The installers worked carefully and certainly appeared to know what they were doing. I was very pleased with the whole thing. If what they told us is really true, my days of climbing a ladder to clean out the gutters are over, and I won’t miss them one bit.”
Verified Customer
“The salesperson was attentive and I felt he was honest. I was pleasantly surprised to have the work done the next day. The installer was professional and courteous. My only concern was that only 1 person came for the installation. Probably just me, but since I am afraid of heights and the installation was on 2nd floor gutters, I would have felt better if he had someone with him. I am relieved to have those gutters cleaned and covered, and looking forward to years of worry-free fall leave seasons.”
