99% of Homeowners Still Don’t Get Gutter Guards (Jacob Vanvliet of J&A Exterior Explains)

Metro Detroit homeowners: gutter guards aren’t “set it and forget it.” And if you believe that myth, you can end up with overflowing gutters, corner leaks, rotted fascia, and water where you really don’t want it—near your siding, landscaping, and foundation. In this episode, I’m joined by Jacob Vanvliet, a 22-year-old entrepreneur and the owner of J&A Exterior LLC (Metro Detroit). His team specializes in gutter installation, gutter cleaning, gutter guards, leaf removal, pressure washing, and more. Here’s what you’ll learn: when you truly need new gutters vs. a repair, why seamless gutters beat big-box “sections,” how gutter guards really work (and what they don’t do), plus how a professional contractor should document the job, handle change orders like fascia rot, and stand behind the work with a real warranty—so you can make confident home improvement decisions. Q&A-Style Takeaways Question: Do I actually need new gutters—or just a repair? Answer: Sometimes you don’t need a full replacement. A good contractor should start by asking what you’re seeing (leaks, overflow, corner issues) and confirm whether it’s a repair or a new system. Question: What should happen during a professional gutter estimate? Answer: You should get a clear process: scheduling, what to expect, product samples, reviews, and a walkthrough of your concerns before any quote is finalized. Question: Should I choose 5-inch or 6-inch gutters for my home? Answer: If your budget allows, 6-inch can be a better system in many cases—but it’s not always required. The right answer depends on your roof lines, water volume, and your specific home. Question: What are seamless gutters—and why do they matter? Answer: Seamless gutters are formed on-site to fit your home, reducing mid-run seams that can leak over time. Sectional gutters from big-box stores force joints—and joints are where problems start. Question: Do gutter guards mean I’ll never clean my gutters again? Answer: No. Debris still builds up on top of the guard over time. Guards can reduce maintenance, but they don’t eliminate it—especially if you have lots of trees. Question: How should a contractor handle surprise fascia rot or added work? Answer: You should be told upfront that rot may be discovered—and if it is, the contractor should communicate clearly, document it, and get you aligned before moving forward. No end-of-job “surprise bill.” Question: What warranty should homeowners expect—and how soon can the install happen? Answer: J&A Exterior offers a 3-year labor guarantee and a 25-year material warranty, and typical homeowner installs are often around 1.5–2 weeks, depending on schedule and season. If you’re in Southeast Michigan and your gutters are leaking, overflowing, or just plain outdated, listen to the full episode and learn what to ask before you sign anything.
