What’s different about Detroit
Detroit is Michigan's largest market with a deep contractor pool, where long snowy winters and freeze-thaw cycles stress exterior materials.
- Freeze-thaw cycles and ice dams favor larger or heated gutters and closer-spaced hangers.
How the cost is built
Gutter cost is driven mostly by total linear footage, material (aluminum is the budget standard; copper and steel cost several times more), the number of corners and downspouts, and whether old gutters have to be torn off. Two-story homes cost more because of the added labor and safety equipment.
