Have you ever wondered what it’s like to run a gutter business in Metro Detroit?
At J&A Exterior, every day is a little different, but one thing remains the same: our commitment to providing the best gutter services in Metro Detroit. Let’s take you behind the scenes to show you what a typical day looks like for us!
Starting the Day: Prepping for Success
Our day kicks off early at our headquarters. After a quick team huddle, we go over the schedule for the day, review customer details, and load up the trucks with all the tools and materials we need. Whether it’s a seamless gutter installation, a repair, or a cleaning, being prepared is key to staying efficient and professional.
On the Road: Meeting Metro Detroit Homeowners
Once everything’s ready, we hit the road. One of the best parts of the job is meeting homeowners from all over Metro Detroit. From Sterling Heights to Macomb Township, every home has its unique charm—and its own gutter challenges. We always enjoy chatting with our customers, learning about their needs, and explaining how we can help.

Getting to Work: Gutters, Guards, and Everything in Between
When we arrive at a job site, the team gets right to work. Each project is a mix of skill, teamwork, and attention to detail. For installations, we measure and cut seamless gutters on-site to ensure a perfect fit. For cleanings, we safely remove debris and flush the gutters to make sure water flows freely. And when it comes to repairs, we troubleshoot and fix leaks, sagging, and other issues with precision.
No two jobs are ever the same, which keeps things interesting. One minute we might be installing 6-inch seamless gutters for a large home, and the next we’re adding gutter guards to protect a property from falling leaves.
Lunch Break: Refueling for the Afternoon
Even hardworking gutter pros need a break! Around midday, the team takes time to grab lunch, swap stories from the morning, and recharge for the afternoon ahead.
Problem-Solving and Quality Checks on Gutters
Back on the job, we often encounter unique challenges. Maybe a gutter system wasn’t installed correctly by a previous contractor, or an animal has made itself a home in the downspout. Whatever the issue, our team works together to find the best solution.
Before we leave any job site, we do a thorough quality check. We want to make sure everything is not only functional but also looks great. Our motto is: if it’s not something we’d be proud to have on our own home, it’s not done yet.
Wrapping Up: Customer Happiness Comes First
At the end of each job, we take time to walk the homeowner through the work we’ve done. Seeing their smiles and hearing how happy they are with the results is the most rewarding part of our day. We also share tips for maintaining their gutters so they can get the most out of their investment.
Back at HQ: Reflecting and Recharging
After a full day, we head back to the shop to unload equipment, clean up, and prep for tomorrow. As a small, local business, we’re always looking for ways to improve and grow, so we often brainstorm new ideas or review customer feedback to make sure we’re exceeding expectations.

Every day at J&A Exterior is a mix of hard work, problem-solving, and connecting with our community. We strive to be one of the best gutter services in Metro Detroit! We’re proud to help Metro Detroit homeowners protect their properties and improve the look and function of their homes.
