The wet Lansing basement usually starts at the roofline.
Seamless gutters sized for mid-Michigan rain and snowmelt, the quiet system that keeps water out of Lansing basements. Installed by our own crew, with a straight read on what your home needs.
Gutters are how you keep the basement dry.
In a lot of Lansing homes the wet basement problem people spend thousands chasing indoors actually starts at the roofline. Failing gutters dump roof water straight down against the foundation, where it works into the block and shows up on the basement floor. On the older Eastside and Westside homes especially, the original gutters are undersized, rusted through, or pitched wrong, and the downspouts spill right beside the wall. Replacing them with properly sized, seamless gutters and downspouts that carry water away from the house is one of the least glamorous and most effective things you can do for a Lansing home.
We’re a licensed, insured, quality-vetted crew, and we never subcontract, the people who look at your Lansing home and price the work are the same people hanging the gutter. That matters because gutter replacement done well is all in the parts you don’t think about: the pitch that actually moves water, the hanger spacing that survives a wet March snow load, the downspout placement and extensions that send the water where it belongs instead of back at the foundation. A rushed gutter job looks fine on day one and floods the basement by spring.
As certified exterior installers, we do the work to spec and we tie it into the bigger picture, because gutters don’t work alone. On Lansing’s ice-dam-prone roofs, gutters overflow in winter because the dam above them is the real issue, and we’ll tell you honestly if that’s what’s going on rather than just selling you new gutters that will overflow the same way. That’s the whole point of an honest look: we won’t sell you gutters when the problem is upstream on the roof, and we won’t leave failing gutters in place when they’re quietly wrecking your foundation.
The way it works is simple. It starts with a free, no-obligation look, we come out, check the gutters, the fascia and soffit behind them, and where the water actually goes, then give you a straight read with pictures. You get a clear scope and a fair price in writing: replace the gutters and downspouts, repair any rotted fascia behind them, and route the water away from the house. Then our own crew does the work and cleans up. No pressure and no surprise line items.

Seamless gutters that actually move the water.
When you hire Anchor to replace the gutters on a Lansing home, here’s what the job involves. It starts with a thorough, free inspection, where we look at the existing gutters, the fascia and soffit behind them, and where the roof water is really going, because on a lot of Lansing homes the gutters are only half the story and the foundation trouble downstairs is the other half. Then a clear written scope and price with nothing hidden: the seamless gutter and downspout sizing your roof area actually calls for, the hanger and pitch details that keep them working through a Michigan year, any fascia repair the old gutters hid, and the downspout routing that carries water away from the wall. We install with our own vetted crew to spec, and we pay attention to the unglamorous details that decide whether gutters do their job in a wet March. When we’re done, we clean up and walk you through what we found and fixed. That’s the whole engagement, and because Andrew, Aaron, and Preston built Anchor on being told the truth about the work, you’ll always know exactly where things stand: whether it’s really a gutter problem or an ice-dam or foundation problem, what it needs, what it costs, and why.
Three things we don’t compromise on.
The same three rules hold on every job we take, in every part of Lansing. They are the reason neighbors pass our name along.
We never subcontract
Every Lansing gutter job is hung by our own crew, the people who read where the water goes are the people setting the pitch and the downspouts. That’s how the details that keep water out of your basement stay right, instead of depending on who a subcontractor sent that day.
Honest, no upsell
If your gutters overflow because of an ice dam upstream, we’ll say so before selling you new ones. We don’t take Lansing homeowners’ money for gutters that won’t fix the real problem, that candor is the reason we started, and why our work comes from referrals.

Certified exterior installers, fully licensed and insured, installing seamless gutters sized and pitched for mid-Michigan rain and snowmelt, in the hanger, downspout, and fascia details that decide whether the system protects the foundation for years.
Serving Lansing and Ingham County.
From REO Town and Old Town to the neighborhoods across Ingham County, we replace gutters that keep water off Lansing foundations. The work below is real Anchor jobs from around mid-Michigan.
The gutters on Lansing’s older housing stock tell you a lot about how a home has been cared for. On the pre-war Eastside and Westside homes, the originals were half-round or narrow K-style hung by hand generations ago, undersized for the roofs they serve and long past their working life. In REO Town and Old Town, where so many homes have been rehabbed room by room, the gutters are often the one exterior system nobody got to, still spilling water at the foundation while the kitchen and bath were brought up to date. We size and route the new system for the roof it actually serves, tie the downspouts into where the water needs to go, and repair the fascia the old runs quietly wore out, so the least-noticed part of the exterior finally does its job.

Gutter replacement in Lansing, questions.
Straight answers for Lansing homeowners, see finished work in our gallery.
Could my wet Lansing basement really be a gutter problem?
Often, yes. Failing or badly routed gutters dump roof water right against the foundation, and on a lot of Lansing homes that’s where the basement moisture starts. Before you spend on interior waterproofing, it’s worth having the gutters and downspout routing checked, sometimes fixing the water at the roofline is the cheaper, real solution.
My gutters overflow in winter, will new gutters fix it?
Not always, and we’ll tell you straight. Winter overflow on Lansing’s older roofs is frequently an ice-dam problem, not a gutter problem, and new gutters will overflow the same way. We look at the whole picture and won’t sell you gutters if the real fix is up on the roof.
How do I get a price for gutter replacement in Lansing?
Book a free, no-obligation look. We check the gutters, the fascia behind them, and where the water actually goes, then give you a straight read with pictures and a fair price in writing. We size and price the gutters to your actual roof, not a guess.
Do you fix the fascia and soffit behind the gutters too?
Yes, and on older Lansing homes we often find rot the old gutters were hiding. We repair the fascia and soffit as part of the job so the new gutters hang on sound wood, rather than fastening fresh gutters to material that’s already failing.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, fully licensed and insured. We never subcontract, so the crew hanging your Lansing gutters is our own, and the pitch, hangers, and downspout routing are done properly so the system actually protects your foundation.
Should I add gutter guards to my Lansing gutters?
Sometimes they help, sometimes they’re money that would do more elsewhere, and we’ll give you the honest read on your home. On a Lansing lot shaded by mature maples and oaks, quality guards can cut the fall cleaning that otherwise leaves clogged gutters overflowing at the foundation. On an open lot with little leaf load they often aren’t worth it. We size and pitch the gutters right first, because guards on an undersized or badly routed system just hide the real problem.
My downspouts dump right next to the house. Can you fix that?
Yes, and on a lot of Lansing homes that single detail is the whole basement-water story. A gutter can be working perfectly and still deliver its entire load to the foundation if the downspout ends beside the wall. We reroute and extend the downspouts to carry water several feet from the house, out to where the grade takes it away, so the roof water lands where it belongs instead of soaking back into the block by the basement.
