Southern Canton
Drains to the Lower River Rouge and its tributaries, including Pine Creek. A downspout here is the first step in a path that ends in that system, so we aim it away from the foundation and toward the yard.
Gutter installation in Canton, MI, on a township built in waves
The 1970s did most of the building: the population rose from 11,057 in 1970 to 48,616 in 1980, and 29 percent of today's homes date from that decade. Another 23 percent went up in the 1990s, and the median Canton home was built in 1991. Canton is now Michigan's second most populous township.
That history means a lot of houses with later additions and a lot of eaves that were never the same length twice. Our installers deal with that by forming the gutter at the house: flat aluminum coil goes through a roll forming machine and comes out as one run, cut to the exact length of the edge it will hang on.

Ask how the gutter is made before you ask how it looks.
If you are comparing seamless gutter companies in Canton, MI, the first question is whether the run is formed to your roof or assembled from stock pieces. Ours is formed on site in .032 gauge aluminum, hung on internally hidden brackets, and finished with 3x4 downspouts that we recommend over 2x3.
Where the roof water ends up
Canton sits in the Rouge River watershed, and the direction of the drainage changes by side of the township.
Northeast Canton
Drains through Tonquish Creek and Garden Creek, tributaries of the Middle Rouge. The same rule holds: carry roof water out and away from the house rather than letting it pool.
Across the township
About 34.32 inches of precipitation a year and 45.0 inches of snow, measured at Detroit Metro Airport, set the volume the downspouts are sized for.
Three kinds of Canton job
New gutters in Canton usually arrive as one of three jobs.
- 01
Additions on 1970s and 1990s houses
A new family room or garage adds eave the old system never covered. We form a run for it and tie it in, or give it its own downspout.
- 02
New roof edges
When a roof edge changes, the gutter should be measured to the finished line, not the old one.
- 03
Full systems
For a house getting everything at once, we size gutters and downspouts together so the outlets match the roof they drain.
Questions to settle with any gutter installer
- Is the gutter seamless and formed to my exact roof length?
- What size are the gutters and the downspouts?
- Where will each downspout discharge in winter, when the ground is frozen?
- Are the hangers hidden, and how are they fastened?

What homeowners say
They cleaned my gutters and installed leaf guards, I waited for a good rain and checked the flow and everything looks great. Highly recommended.
Experience was exceptional. Nathan explained the whole process, from the initial estimate through the installation. He didn’t try to sell a bunch of extras or talk over my head. He used concise layman’s terminology. The installation (even with rain delays). Went well. Truly an excellent experience that didn’t cost the church its foundation. Thank you for your work
The Gutter Guys did a great job installing my new gutters. Nathan is a great guy, personable and professional. The price was very competitive, and the job was done on schedule. The Guys are detail oriented, excellent fit and finish. My house looks great! Highly recommended!
Gutter installation questions in Canton
Do you serve both Canton ZIP codes for gutter installation?
Yes. As gutter installers in Canton, MI, we serve both 48187 north of Cherry Hill Road and 48188 to the south, so you do not need a different company for each side of the township.
What if my addition ties into an old system?
We look at the old run first. If it is sound, the new run ties in or gets its own downspout. If it is failing, we say so, and the better plan may be replacing it with the new work.
Do you size rain gutter systems at 5 inch?
For rain gutter installation in Canton, we recommend 6 inch gutters and 3x4 downspouts over 5 inch and 2x3, given the rain and snowmelt Michigan roofs shed. If your house has a reason to differ, raise it at the estimate.
