Why Choose Us
Why Traverse City Homeowners Trust Our Local Crew
Our Traverse City crew has protected more than 4,200 homes and installed more than 130 miles of gutter. We serve nearby towns, plus Cadillac, Gaylord, and Petoskey. We check the fascia, measure the runs, and plan where the downspouts go.
The guard is a surgical-grade stainless steel micromesh screen, low profile and installed at an angle. It is designed to fit most gutters, including K-style, fascia, U-style and box-style, so replacing them may not be necessary. Locally trained installation professionals put it in, and it is backed by a limited lifetime transferable warranty.
Planning Gutters Around Traverse City Weather
Traverse City gets rain through much of the year, and summer and fall bring heavy storms. Wind off Grand Traverse Bay blows leaves and twigs into gutters, where they can sit for months. Long, cold winters and warm summers wear on old sealant.
When we install gutters here, we size the downspouts for your roof so they can handle a lot of water at once. We set the pitch so water drains and add extensions to move it away from the foundation. Hangers go into solid fascia to help each run hold up.
Seamless Gutter installation includes:
Custom-pitched runs
Sized for your specific roofline and Traverse City rainfall volume.
Premium aluminum
0.032-inch heavy-gauge with a durable protective coating.
Hidden structural hangers
Anchored into the fascia to hold shape through every season.
Professional Installation
Our local team in Traverse City handles installation.
LeafFilter’s Gutter Guard system includes:

A 3-piece system made from surgical-grade stainless steel.
Installs on existing gutters

Common issues in Traverse City
Fall Leaves Clog Gutters
Maple and oak leaves fill open gutters each fall, and seeds add to it in spring. A clogged gutter can back up and spill water down the siding.
Overflow in Summer Storms
Heavy summer rain can send more water than a clogged gutter can hold. The overflow can spill and pool near the foundation.
Cold-Season Drainage Trouble
Leaves left in the gutter after fall stay wet through the cold months. Water backs up and can leak behind the fascia.
Pests and Trapped Moisture
Wet debris in a gutter draws insects and nesting birds. The trapped moisture can wear down the fascia over time.
Why Gutter Guards
Why a Guard Belongs on New Gutters Here
New gutters still clog when leaves, seeds, and twigs fall in. With this many maple and oak trees, that happens every year. A clogged gutter overflows, even if it was just installed.
LeafFilter is engineered to prevent common debris from entering gutters. It is installed at an angle which can help shed debris while accepting water. The gutter catches the rain, and the downspout carries it away.

Debris falls here most of the year. Seeds and blossoms come down in spring, and the heaviest leaf drop comes in October. One or two cleanings a year often cannot keep up.
The micromesh guard helps keep leaves out so water can drain. It is engineered to significantly reduce gutter maintenance, which means fewer trips up the ladder. Some debris may sit on top until weather can shed it.

How LeafFilter® Works
Inspect and prepare your gutters
Our team inspects your existing gutter system and removes built-up debris before installation.
Reinforce and align gutters
We reinforce your existing gutters and check alignment to help improve drainage performance.
Install the micromesh system
LeafFilter® uses a stainless steel micromesh designed to filter common debris while allowing water to flow through.
Help protect your home year-round
The system is designed to help reduce gutter clogs caused by leaves, debris, and seasonal buildup.
How to Tell Your Gutters Need Replacing
Repairs can buy time on a sound run. A gutter that keeps leaking, sagging, or pulling away from the fascia is often better replaced. Here are the signs to watch for.
Sagging gutters
Overflowing gutters can wash away soil and mulch, damage plants and driveways, and weaken your curb appeal.
Soffit and fascia rot
Backed-up water can seep into fascia boards and soffits, causing wood rot and weakening the roofline over time.
Foundation flooding
When gutters overflow, water pools around your home’s base, and can lead to basement leaks, cracks, and costly structural damage.

Very professional! The two-man team removed my old gutters and installed new ones quickly and with little mess. They informed me if they encountered any obstacles and let me know how they planned to work through it so I was comfortable with the plan before they continued. Many thanks for a relatively trouble-free and ‘seamless’ installation!

From beginning to end, they whole process was seamless (even the gutters) They arrived on time, got the job done as promised, cleaned up and finished the job in a timely manner. Very happy with service and with the product itself.
Ron

Gutters look wonderful and were installed ahead of scheduled date! You just need to look over job at completion to make sure everything is right because they will cut corners if you don’t say anything to them!

Gutter installation done right
A careful install starts with measuring each run. We set the pitch so water drains, fasten hangers into solid fascia, and place downspouts to carry water away. We clean up before we leave.

Common Questions
Common Gutter Questions in Traverse City
How do I know my gutters need replacing, not just repair?
Look for leaks at the same seams after repairs, sagging runs, or gutters pulling away from the fascia. Widespread rust and cracks are signs too. Our crew checks the full run and tells you what makes sense.
Will LeafFilter cut down on gutter cleaning in Traverse City?
Yes. Seeds in spring and the heavy fall leaf drop clog open gutters here. LeafFilter helps prevent debris from entering the gutter that can cause clogs. Some debris may sit on the screen until weather sheds it.
Can LeafFilter be installed with new gutters?
Yes. When we install new gutters, we use seamless gutters and we can add our LeafFilter guard on top, so you get a complete gutter system. Our gutter guards can also be installed on existing gutters in good shape, so replacement is not always necessary.
