Eastpointe's brick ranches and bungalows have been holding up for 60+ years. The gutter systems on most of them haven't. We're here to fix that.
We Know These Streets
Eastpointe is one of the most densely built communities in Macomb County β 5.1 square miles packed with some of the best postwar residential housing stock in Southeast Michigan. The brick ranches and Cape Cods that line streets like Stephens Road, 9 Mile, and 10 Mile were built by a generation that built things to last. And they did last β the houses. The gutter systems installed on them in the 1950s and 60s? Those are a different story.
Over 72% of Eastpointe’s homes were built between the 1940s and 1960s. That means the original spike and ferrule gutter systems on a significant portion of this city are 50 to 70+ years old. The spikes have been loosening through every Michigan freeze-thaw cycle for decades. The fascia wood behind many of those gutters has been quietly absorbing water for years. The sectional seams have cracked, caulked, re-cracked, and failed again. Many of these systems are well past the point of repair β they need to come down and be replaced with something built for the next 30 years.
At 3G Home Exteriors, we fabricate every gutter system on-site at your Eastpointe home to your exact measurements. We pull the old system, inspect the fascia beneath, and install hidden hangers and welded miter corners that will still be holding strong decades from now β just like the houses they’re protecting.
A Note From the Owner
I grew up in Eastpointe β went to East Detroit High School, grew up on Melrose Court, and spent summers at Z's Penny Candy on Stephens Road. I know these neighborhoods. I know these houses. When I started 3G Home Exteriors in 2011, Eastpointe was one of the first communities I wanted to serve well β because I know exactly what these homes mean to the people who live in them.
Warning Signs
These are the most common issues our team finds on Eastpointe's postwar housing stock. If you're seeing any of these, it's time to call.
On Eastpointe’s older homes, spike fasteners have been loosening through decades of freeze-thaw cycles. Once they push out far enough, they can’t be re-driven β the fascia hole is too oversized. Full replacement is the only real fix.
Visible gaps between the gutter back and your fascia board mean the fascia wood behind has likely been absorbing water for years. Very common on Eastpointe’s 1950sβ60s homes where fascia damage has had decades to develop.
If your gutters overflow in a normal Michigan rain storm, they’re either clogged, undersized, or pitched incorrectly. All three situations are fixable β but most Eastpointe homes with overflow issues also have underlying fastener or fascia problems that need to be addressed at the same time.
Sectional gutters β the standard on virtually every Eastpointe home from the 1950sβ70s β have multiple seam joints on every run. These crack through repeated Michigan freeze-thaw cycles. Water running through a cracked seam goes directly onto your fascia.
Fascia that feels soft when pressed, or siding that shows vertical water staining below the roofline, is a clear sign your gutter system has been failing for a while. Catching it now prevents the damage from spreading into the wall structure.
Consistent standing water near your foundation after rain is serious. Eastpointe’s high residential density and modest lot sizes mean foundation drainage issues can escalate faster than in more spread-out communities.
The 3G Standard
Not upgrades. Not options. The baseline on every gutter job we do in Eastpointe.
Our seamless gutter machine arrives at your Eastpointe driveway on install day. Every run is cut from aluminum coil stock to your exact roofline measurement β one continuous piece, zero mid-run seams between corners.
Screwed directly into the fascia at 24-inch intervals β not driven spikes that split the wood. Completely concealed, far more secure, and won’t loosen through Michigan winters. On Eastpointe’s aging homes, this matters more than anywhere.
Every corner on your Eastpointe home is custom-cut and welded on-site β not a strip miter held with caulk. A welded corner is a structural joint. It won’t crack, separate, or need re-caulking every few years.
The Fastener That Changes Everything
Spike and ferrule is the system on most of Eastpointe's older homes right now. Here's what the difference between keeping it and replacing it actually looks like.
β Spike & Ferrule β What's On Most Eastpointe Homes Now
A nail driven through the gutter face into the fascia board. Standard on virtually every Eastpointe home built before 1980. Long past its service life on most of these houses.
β Hidden Hangers β 3G Standard
Clips inside the gutter screwed into sound fascia at 24" intervals. What every Eastpointe home should have had from the start.

Over 72% of Eastpointe's homes were built between the 1940s and 1960s β meaning original gutter systems on many of these homes are 50 to 70+ years old. Spike fasteners have loosened through decades of freeze-thaw cycles. Sectional seams have cracked and failed. Fascia wood has been absorbing water behind failing systems for years. These homes aren't just due for gutter replacement β they're overdue.
Seamless gutters are one continuous piece per run β no mid-run seam joints. Every seam in a sectional system eventually cracks and leaks.
