Pontiac homeowners. A roofer, not a call center, gets back to you.
Old gutters, older fascia behind them
On an older Pontiac house, the gutters you see may be the second or third set, hung on fascia boards that have been wet on and off for decades. Sectional joints drip, spikes back out of the wood, and heavy snow and ice sliding off a steep roof bend the front edge down. At some point, patching another corner stops making sense.
The bigger issue is usually behind the gutter. Years of overflow and leaking seams soak the fascia and sometimes the ends of the rafters and the edge of the roof decking. Hang new gutters on rotted wood and they will sag again. So when we take the old gutters down, we probe and photograph the fascia, replace what is soft, and make sure the drip edge sends water into the new gutter and not behind it.
Then the new system goes up: seamless runs sized for the roof, hidden hangers screwed into solid wood, downspouts placed to drain away from the foundation, and guards if your lot has heavy trees. You see photos of the old fascia, the repairs and the finished install, and the old material leaves with us.
When Pontiac gutters need replacing
One of these is often a repair. Several together usually mean replacement.
Sagging or pulling away
Gutters that dip or lean out between hangers no longer hold their pitch, so water sits instead of draining.
Leaks at every seam
Sectional gutters with many joints drip once the sealant ages, and resealing them buys only a season or two.
Bent by ice & snow
Snow sliding off the roof and ice in the trough can crush, twist or kink gutters past straightening.
Rotted fascia
Soft, stained or crumbling fascia means water has been getting behind the gutter for a long time.
Undersized for the roof
If gutters overflow in every heavy rain even when clean, they can’t carry what the roof sends them.
Water at the foundation
Pooling, washed-out mulch or a damp basement often trace back to failed gutters and short downspouts.
Which fix fits your gutters
We don’t start from replacement. If your gutters are the right size, still hold their pitch and only have a few problem spots, a repair is the honest answer and we’ll tell you so.
Replacement makes sense when the problems are everywhere at once or when the fascia behind them has failed. And if your roof is near the end of its life, it can be smart to replace both together, since the gutters come off for the new drip edge anyway. You’ll see photos of what we find and get the options in writing.
Fascia repair is part of the decision. If only a short stretch of board is soft, it can be replaced without touching the rest of the system. If rot runs along most of the house, the gutters have to come down anyway, and that is usually the right time to put up new seamless gutters sized for the roof instead of rehanging old ones.

Real reviews from homeowners across Metro Detroit.
“Kincaide did a phenomenal job fixing up my garage roof and siding. They also cleaned up the area after so my dog wouldn’t get hurt. Everytime there was any issue found during installation, they provided picture evidence. They also were the best cost when compared to other companies. Highly recommend.”
“Kincaide roofing went above and beyond our expectations. Scott (the owner) took pictures of every step and fix he made. They were punctual, thorough and very professional. No B.S. with Scott, the communication was straight forward and gave us briefings every night before they left.”
“Very awesome, professional experience with Kincaide!!! Scott and his crew is wonderful. They do good work, really put things in terms so that people can understand things better. We will definitely be sticking with KINCAIDE!!!”
Signs your Pontiac gutters are done
A few things tell us replacement makes more sense than another repair.
Pontiac winters are hard on gutters. Snow load and ice build up in the troughs, freeze-thaw cycles work the seams loose, and sliding snow off steep older roofs bends them out of shape. By the time the gutters are pulling away in several places, the wood behind them usually needs attention too.
Sagging and separating
Runs pulling away from the house where hangers have loosened in wet wood.
Leaking seams
Sectional joints dripping onto walkways, siding and basement walls.
Rotted fascia
Soft boards behind the gutter that have to be replaced before new gutters go up.
