Yes. Leading Edge Gutters is licensed and insured in Michigan.

Yes. Every installation comes with a written workmanship warranty, on top of the manufacturer warranties on the materials. We'll go over the terms with your estimate.

Traverse City and Northern Michigan, from Petoskey and Harbor Springs to Ludington, Cadillac, Clare, and Big Rapids. If you're not sure we cover your address, call or text.

Sectional gutters leak where the pieces overlap. Seamless gutters are one piece per run, so the only joints are at the corners, where we seal them. Fewer joints means fewer leaks and fewer places for debris to catch.

It depends on roof area and pitch. Most single-story homes do well with 5". Large or steep roofs, and valleys that dump a lot of water in one spot, are better served by 6". We'll tell you which one your house needs and why.

Most homes are finished in one day. Larger or multi-story homes can take longer depending on access and weather.

Often, yes. Leaking corners, sagging sections, and loose downspouts can usually be repaired. If a system is past saving, we'll show you why before recommending replacement.

Water running over the front edge, peeling paint or stains below the gutter, puddles or erosion at the foundation, and gutters pulling away from the fascia are the common signs.

A fine mesh over an aluminum frame lets water pass through by surface tension while leaves, needles, and seed pods slide off or sit on top to dry and blow away.

Yes, on most sound gutter systems. If your gutters are sagging or leaking, we'll recommend fixing that first so the guard has something good to sit on.

Very little. An occasional rinse or brush-off keeps the mesh clear, which is a lot less work than scooping out full gutters twice a year.

Alu-Rex and ArmourGuard. Both use aluminum frames and stainless-steel mesh that hold up to Michigan winters.

If you have trees near the house, usually yes. They prevent the overflows that damage fascia and foundations, and they keep you off the ladder.

Curling or cracked shingles, bald spots where granules are gone, repeated leaks, and daylight in the attic are the usual signs. An inspection confirms whether repair, GoNano restoration, or replacement makes sense.

Yes. We repair wind, hail, and snow damage and can document what we find with photos for your records.

Asphalt shingles rated for Northern Michigan wind and snow. We'll walk you through the options and colors during the estimate.

Yes, and fall is the best time. Catching a lifted shingle or failed flashing before snow load prevents most winter leaks.

Most residential replacements take one to two days, depending on size, pitch, and weather.

Most homes take three to five days, depending on size, material, and weather.

Vinyl and fiber cement. Vinyl is lighter and lower cost; fiber cement is more rigid and impact-resistant. We'll help you weigh them for your house.

Yes. Localized damage can usually be repaired. We'll be honest about how closely new panels will match older, faded ones.

It can. A new weather-resistant barrier and tight installation reduce air leaks, which you'll feel on windy winter days.

Lap, dutch lap, board and batten, and shake profiles in a wide range of colors. We'll bring samples to the estimate.

It penetrates asphalt shingles and replaces the oils they lose to UV and weather, which restores flexibility and color and slows cracking.

Typically 10 to 15 years, depending on the roof's age, condition, and exposure.

No. GoNano is a preservation treatment, not a structural repair. We fix leaks and damaged areas first, or recommend replacement if the roof is past treating.

Yes. It's a non-toxic, eco-friendly formula, and because there's no tear-off, there's no debris either.

Most homes are treated in a single day.
