Have you noticed that your gutters are cracked, overflowing, or pulling away from the side of your Michigan home? These are often signs that it’s time to schedule a gutter replacement. However, before you get your project on the books, it’s helpful to know what to expect during the process. Before you start your gutter replacement, it’s important to learn what to look for in a gutter company to make sure you found a professional contractor. Once you feel confident they are the right fit, it’s time to get started.

By reading the following guide, we hope you’ll feel more prepared for your upcoming gutter replacement project. 

Researching New Gutters

The first step in the gutter replacement process is to choose your new gutters. Our team at Atlas Home Improvement is here to help you make the right choice for your home. We proudly offer the following types of gutters:

• Premium Titan Gutters, which are thicker and stronger than ordinary residential gutters
• Innovative SnapLock Gutters, which are specifically designed to protect fascia from water damage
• Beautiful copper gutters, which are seamless and designed not to leak

Regardless of which option you choose, replacing your gutters will give your home a boost in curb appeal and help prevent serious water damage.

Removal of Old Gutters

Once you’ve chosen your new gutters, our highly-rated gutter installation team will come out to your home and remove your old gutters. During this process, we’ll take extra precautions when removing the old gutters and downspouts to ensure we don’t damage your home’s siding or roof in the process. 

Checking for Signs of Damage

After we remove your old gutters, we’ll perform perhaps the most crucial part of the process: evaluating your home for any signs of water damage. At this time, we’ll look at your home’s fascia and soffits, specifically checking for rotting wood, mold, and mildew growth. 

If we notice any of these problems, we’ll address them before installing your new gutters. It’s critical to remedy these issues first. Otherwise, the new gutters will look great, but the root of the issue will still be there. 

Preparing for Installation

Next up, our team will take precise measurements for your new gutters. This includes measuring how far the gutters should run, where to put the downspouts, and where exactly the new gutters should hang. 

After taking these measurements, we’ll then cut the new gutters accordingly and cut out holes for the new downspouts. 

Installation and Cleanup

After taking the final measurements and making the final cuts, it will finally be time for the installation. We understand that having a contractor work on your home can be inconvenient. We’ll do everything in our power to minimize disruptions to your day, working quickly and efficiently as we install your new gutters. 

Once we’re finished with the installation, we’ll clean up after ourselves so it will look like we were never there! We’ll haul away your old gutters, dispose of any leftover pieces, and pick up small metal pieces like screws so your yard is good as new. Finally, we’ll do a walk-through to show you exactly what we did and answer any questions you may have.
