When you think about upgrading your home’s exterior, painting and gutters might seem like separate projects. Doing them right, and together, saves you time, money, and headaches down the road.
Why Gutters Matter Before Painting

Protect Your Fresh Paint Job
If your gutters are leaking or clogged, water can spill down your siding or walls and ruin fresh paint fast. Upgrading your gutters first ensures water flows properly, so your new paint stays looking sharp longer.
Prevent Damage to Wood and Trim
Bad gutters cause water to drip and pool near your wood trim or fascia boards, leading to rot and peeling paint. Fixing or upgrading gutters protects these areas so your paint job isn’t wasted.
How Painting Preps Gutters for Longevity
Seamless Look with Color Coordination
Painting your home gives you a chance to match or complement your gutters’ color. Whether you go for classic white gutters or something custom, a fresh paint job ties everything together visually.
Easier Maintenance and Cleaning
A clean, well-painted surface around gutters reduces dirt buildup and mildew, making gutter cleaning easier. Plus, it’s easier to spot issues early when everything looks fresh and well-kept.

Benefits of Combining Both Projects
Save on Labor and Scheduling
Scheduling painting and gutter work together means fewer trips for contractors and less hassle for you. We can inspect both systems in one visit and address problems on the spot.
Maximize Curb Appeal and Home Value
New gutters and a fresh paint job instantly boost your home’s curb appeal. It’s an investment that pays off whether you’re planning to sell or just want to protect your biggest asset.
Protect Your Home From Michigan Weather
Michigan’s weather is tough on homes — heavy rains, snow, and freeze-thaw cycles. Gutters and paint working in sync give you a stronger defense against leaks, mold, and damage.
