MicroMax
Fine mesh for pine needles, dirt and shingle grit.
Street names are not a tree survey
Forest, Oak and Maple streets sit in the northeast addition of the historic district, and the names invite assumptions. We do not make them. A street name proves nothing about the canopy over your gutter today, so we look at the trees themselves.
The emerald ash borer was first found near Detroit in 2002 and has killed tens of millions of ash trees in Michigan. A canopy that was one thing decades ago may be another now, and the right guard follows the trees you have.
Eastern Michigan University, founded in 1849, anchors the west side, and the historic district runs on both banks of the Huron River. Houses near the river parks, Riverside Park or Frog Island Park, may see different debris from houses on drier streets, so we look at each roof on its own.
The three guard types, plainly
Each has its own page.
- 01
Micro-mesh
Fine openings stop seeds and grit. Micro mesh gutter guards in Ypsilanti are the leaf filter style; see micro-mesh guards.
- 02
Leaf guards
A perforated leaf guard in Ypsilanti holds leaves above the channel. See leaf guards.
- 03
Gutter covers
Solid covers that shed debris. Gutter covers in Ypsilanti suit roofs where a closed top fits. A leaf filter in Ypsilanti suits roofs where fine debris is the issue. See gutter covers.
Protect your Gutters
Ypsilanti, Michigan homeowners near the Huron River and Depot Town know that heavy fall debris in clogged gutters leads directly to ice dams and overflow damage through the long Michigan winter. Our gutter protection services prevent that damage cycle before it starts each season.
Ypsilanti’s older homes carry narrow gutter profiles easily overwhelmed by heavy leaf and seed loads from mature oaks, elms, and cottonwoods lining these historic streets. Our gutter protection products are fitted to each home’s specific gutter dimensions, ensuring proper fitment on the varied rooflines found across Ypsilanti from Depot Town to the east side. By keeping debris out of the channel entirely, we stop the overflow that damages fascia, brick mortar, and foundations on century-old Ypsilanti properties through the long Michigan winter season.
Getting the fit right
A guard has to sit right, or it is worse than nothing.
Ours slides under the first course of shingles and fastens to the front lip of the gutter, pitched so debris blows off. On older roofs with several short edges, each run is measured separately. We do not use one profile for every house; a Greek Revival gable and a 1950s ranch edge call for different measurements.

Loose downspouts? Prior installers used metal drywall screws to attach. And no attempt to sell me Gutter Guard!
Gutter guards questions in Ypsilanti
Who offers gutter guard installation near me in Ypsilanti?
We do. Our Michigan location is in Ann Arbor, and Ypsilanti is in our service area. We measure your roofline first, then recommend a guard type.
Which gutter guard company will not oversell me a system?
We start with what falls on your roof. If a cleaning plan fits better than a guard, we say so. Fewer cleanings is the goal, but downspouts and joints still deserve a look.
Do guards need a straight gutter?
Yes. A guard cannot fix pitch or a sag, so a bent or leaking run is repaired or replaced first. We check pitch and hangers at the estimate.
Will a guard stop ice?
No. A guard keeps debris out, which gives ice less to hold, but it does not melt or prevent ice.
