Gutter Installation Pricing in Grand Rapids, MI
We can’t provide exact pricing online because every Grand Rapids home is unique, but our team offers free, no-pressure consultations to give you an accurate quote tailored to your property.
Key factors that affect your quote: Home height and roof pitch (which determines safety equipment needs), material choice (aluminum vs copper), gutter size (5″, 6″, or 7-inch options), and whether fascia repairs are needed. Fascia condition is often the biggest variable—Grand Rapids’ freeze-thaw cycles can take a toll on wood fascia, so we always inspect this carefully during your consultation.
If you need old gutters removed, we handle that and disposal too. Ready to get started? Schedule your free consultation today and we’ll provide a detailed quote based on your home’s specific needs.

Grand Rapids’ Climate Challenges
Year-Round Gutter Protection
Spring & Summer
Grand Rapids summers bring intense downpours—sometimes over an inch in thirty minutes during June through August. When gutters can’t handle that volume or are improperly pitched, water overflows and pools against foundations. We’ve replaced sections of siding on homes throughout Creston and Alger Heights where runoff caused damage. LeafFilter is engineered to help prevent common debris from entering gutters, so rainwater flows properly even during West Michigan’s heaviest storms.
Fall & Winter
The challenge in older Grand Rapids neighborhoods isn’t just October’s falling leaves—it’s the wet debris that sits through winter. By February, we’re repairing rotted fascia on homes near Heritage Hill and the Westside where trapped moisture did its damage. Clay soil here makes drainage issues worse when gutters overflow. LeafFilter’s completely enclosed gutter system is engineered to help prevent common debris from entering, helping water drain properly to help protect your home all year-round.

Just a small rainstorm can divert hundreds of gallons of water to your foundation if your gutters are clogged. Grand Rapids receives an average of 38.2 inches of precipitation annually, making proper gutter maintenance essential for protecting your home’s foundation.

Frequently Asked Questions
If your gutters are sagging, leaking, rusting, or pulling away from your home, it’s time for new gutters. Visible cracks, holes, or water damage around your foundation are also clear signs. Grand Rapids experiences about 37 inches of precipitation annually, and heavy spring rains can accelerate wear on aging gutters.
Aluminum is the best material for new gutter installations because it’s lightweight, rust-resistant, and durable. In Grand Rapids, aluminum gutters handle West Michigan’s heavy lake-effect precipitation and freeze-thaw cycles effectively while requiring minimal maintenance. Copper is another durable option for homeowners seeking a premium aesthetic with exceptional longevity.
Most professional gutter installations are completed in one day. Larger homes or complex roof designs may require additional time. The timeline depends on factors like your home’s size, the number of stories, and roof pitch complexity.
LeafFilter gutters are customized for your home using Sherwin Williams’ Plastilure system to match your existing gutters or complement your Grand Rapids home’s exterior with a new color option.

Yes, new gutters require regular maintenance. In Grand Rapids, seasonal foliage from oak and maple trees, plus spring storms, can quickly fill gutters with leaves and debris. Typical maintenance includes cleaning gutters twice yearly and inspecting for proper water flow. Installing a gutter guard system can help reduce the amount of debris entering your gutters, meaning less frequent cleaning.
Yes, gutters can be installed on virtually any roof type, including steep or complex designs. Grand Rapids homes showcase diverse architectural styles—from historic Victorians in Heritage Hill to modern ranch homes—each presenting unique roofing challenges. Local professionals understand how to adapt gutter systems to work with different roof pitches, materials like asphalt shingles or metal roofing, and various designs. Proper installation ensures effective water drainage to help protect your home’s foundation and landscaping.
Gutters help protect your home by directing rainwater away from your foundation, walls, and landscaping. In Grand Rapids, seasonal rainfall and spring storms are common. Properly functioning gutters help prevent basement flooding, foundation damage, and soil erosion around your property.
