SEAMLESS GUTTERS INSTALLED RIGHT — BUILT FOR MICHIGAN WEATHER
Mid-Michigan weather is hard on homes. Heavy rain, snowmelt, ice, and seasonal debris can overwhelm older gutter systems—especially when the slope, downspouts, or fascia mounting isn’t right. Our team focuses on practical, long-lasting gutter work that performs year-round:
- Seamless 5” K-style gutters for most standard rooflines and drainage needs
- Seamless 6” K-style gutters for higher water volume, longer runs, or steeper roofs
- Downspouts and drainage planning to move water away from the foundation
- Gutter repair & re-work for sagging, leaking corners, poor pitch, or sections pulling away
- Gutter cleaning to restore proper flow and prevent overflow damage
- Gutter guards to reduce clogs from leaves, pine needles, and roof grit
- Soffit / fascia repair & replacement when boards are soft or rotted and will not hold fasteners

Seven Big Ways the Right Seamless Gutters Protect Your Home
1) Protect Your Foundation
Gutters might not feel urgent—until you’re dealing with a damp basement, settling, or cracks that weren’t there last year. Roof runoff carries a surprising amount of water, and when it’s allowed to dump beside the home it can saturate and erode the soil that supports your foundation, driving moisture straight toward basement walls and crawlspaces. The worst part is this kind of damage builds quietly over time, then shows up as expensive repairs when it’s already progressed. Seamless gutters and properly routed downspouts move water away from the foundation line to reduce erosion, limit water intrusion risk, and help protect your biggest investment before problems start.
2) Reduce Roofline, Soffit & Fascia Damage
A “normal” roof sheds a shocking amount of water—1 inch of rain on a 1,000 sq. ft. roof is about 623 gallons (so a 2,000 sq. ft. roof is roughly 1,246 gallons in a single inch). When that volume isn’t captured and controlled, it doesn’t just fall harmlessly—it pounds the roof edge, overwhelms the eaves, and can spill behind the gutter line, soaking fascia boards and soffit edges until you start seeing peeling paint, black streaks, stained siding, and eventually wood rot. And once fascia softens, gutters can loosen, sag, and fail—turning a “small gutter issue” into a roofline repair. Proper design matters: building codes require positive roof drainage (water must be directed to a controlled discharge point rather than trapped on the roof), and gutter systems must be correctly sized and installed with the right pitch and downspout capacity for local rainfall intensity—because undersized/poorly pitched gutters are basically built-in overflow.
3) Help Prevent Basement/Crawlspace Moisture
Basement dampness often starts outside: when roof runoff overflows or dumps at the foundation line, it saturates the soil, increases hydrostatic pressure against basement walls, and makes seepage through cracks far more likely. A correctly sized seamless gutter and downspout system helps stop that cycle by capturing roof water and discharging it away from the foundation—building-science guidance commonly recommends extending downspout discharge at least 5 feet from the home.
4) Boost Curb Appeal
Buyers and neighbors notice the exterior first—and the little “maintenance tells” (sagging gutters, ugly streaks, splash marks, eroded mulch beds) can quietly signal neglect. In fact, 97% of REALTORS® say curb appeal is important in attracting a buyer, which means messy drainage isn’t just cosmetic—it can work against your home’s perceived value before anyone even walks inside. Clean, straight seamless gutters with tidy downspouts keep roof runoff from carving washouts into landscaping, splattering siding, and leaving muddy, stained walkways that make the whole property look tired.
5) Prevent Ice Dams and Winter Roof-Edge Problems
In freeze/thaw climates, clogged or poorly draining gutters can trap meltwater at the eaves. That water refreezes, builds ice, and increases the chance of roof-edge leakage and interior water damage. Weather guidance specifically calls out keeping gutters and downspouts clear through winter so meltwater can drain instead of backing up and refreezing.
6) Reduce Mold-Friendly Moisture Conditions
Mold prevention is moisture control—period. EPA guidance emphasizes controlling water entry into buildings/crawlspaces and even calls out cleaning and repairing roof gutters regularly as part of moisture control. If runoff is soaking the perimeter and finding its way into basements or crawlspaces, you’re creating the exact conditions mold needs.
7) Reduce Mosquito Breeding Around Your Home
Clogged gutters can hold shallow, non-flowing water—exactly the kind of hidden breeding site homeowners don’t notice until mosquitoes are everywhere. We recommend cleaning out clogged gutters reguarly because mosquito larvae can develop in virtually any shallow, non-flowing water. If you don’t feel comfortable climbing on a ladder or on your roof, no worries, Bossman Construction offers gutter cleanings
5-Inch vs 6-Inch K-Style Seamless Gutters (The Most Common Gutter Style for Homes)
Seamless 5” K-Style Gutters
5” K-style gutters are a popular choice for many homes because they fit cleanly, manage typical roof runoff, and provide an excellent balance of performance and appearance. If your current gutters overflow frequently, it’s often due to slope, clogs, poor downspout layout, or undersizing—our on-site assessment will confirm what’s actually needed.
Seamless 6” K-Style Gutters
6” K-style gutters are often recommended for higher water volume situations: steeper roofs, longer roof runs, certain roof designs, or areas that see intense rainfall and heavy snowmelt. The added capacity can reduce overflow risk and improve performance when paired with correct pitch and properly placed downspouts.
Important: Bossman Construction currently installs and services only 5” and 6” K-style seamless gutters. We do not offer half-round gutters at this time.
Are Your Gutters Showing Signs of Trouble?
If you notice any of the issues below, it’s time to schedule a quick assessment before damage spreads:
- Overflowing during rain or snowmelt
- Leaks at corners or along runs
- Sagging sections or gutters pulling away from the fascia
- Water staining on siding or fascia
- Pooling water near the foundation
- Frequent clogs from leaves, pine needles, or roof grit
We’ll inspect the roofline, fascia condition, existing pitch, and downspout routing, then recommend the most practical fix—repair/re-work when possible, or a full seamless system when it’s the smarter long-term choice.
