Warren Roof Pros provides professional gutters & downspouts in Warren, MI for residential and commercial properties across south Macomb County. Gutters come off Warren houses for one reason more than any other, and it is not the weight of the ice. It is that the hanger was never fixed into anything solid in the first place.
The fascia on a house of this age is a nominal one-inch board nailed to the rafter tails and wrapped in aluminum some time in the 1970s. A hidden hanger screwed through that wrap into the board alone has perhaps three-quarters of an inch of soft weathered pine to hold. The first full trough of frozen water finds out about it. Hangers have to reach the tails behind the fascia.
Those sit at sixteen inches on center across the rafter-framed majority of this city. We run seamless gutters roll-formed on site. So there is no joint to open across a forty-foot run. Every hanger gets a fastener long enough to reach past the wrap and the board into the tail itself. Rotten tails are cut back and repaired before anything is hung on them, which occasionally turns a gutter job into a small carpentry job.
We would far rather tell you that at the estimate than discover it on the morning of the work with a crew standing on your drive. On sizing we usually argue downward: five-inch K-style with three-by-four outlets handles a fifteen-square roof at this pitch comfortably. Six-inch is a real upgrade on a large steep roof and mostly an upsell on a small ranch.
Unless a long valley dumps into one corner, we quote the five and put the difference into the discharge. Metro Detroit is full-basement country. A downspout ending in a splash block eighteen inches from the wall drops several hundred gallons a storm down the backfill beside your foundation. Extensions run six to ten feet, or tied into a buried line with a pop-up, cost very little while the gutters are already off the house.
A pop-up emitter at the far end keeps the discharge from simply reappearing at the surface beside the wall. Guards get an honest answer too. Warren streets carry a lot of maple. A fine stainless mesh does keep seeds out of the trough. But no guard on the market prevents ice damming. Anybody selling you one as an ice fix is selling something else.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — gapped 1x6 plank sheathing, three-eighths-inch plywood roof decking, fastener penetration through a sub-three-quarter-inch deck, half-inch plywood overlay nailed off to the rafters, panel edge clips at unsupported plywood joints, six-nail fastening in the common bond — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Warren and nearby communities including Center Line, Eastpointe, Roseville, Fraser.

Materials, equipment and how we do gutters & downspouts
The difference between gutters & downspouts that lasts and gutters & downspouts that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with gapped 1x6 plank sheathing, three-eighths-inch plywood roof decking, fastener penetration through a sub-three-quarter-inch deck, half-inch plywood overlay nailed off to the rafters, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Warren job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in south Macomb County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Warren Chooses Warren Roof Pros
- ✓We lift a shingle and read the sheathing before pricing a covering, because on Warren housing the deck decides the fastener and the fastener decides how long the roof stays on.
- ✓Nail length and pattern are written into the estimate. The code sets three-quarters of an inch into the sheathing, or all the way through where the deck is thinner than that, and on a 1960s panel it means a nail you can see from the attic.
- ✓Where sound boards only need a plywood overlay we quote the overlay, and we price it beside a full re-sheathing so you can see both numbers rather than being told which one you need.
- ✓Deck replacement is counted by the sheet and photographed open before anything covers it, so the number on the invoice is the number that was on the roof.
