Taylor Premium Roofing provides professional gutters & downspouts in Taylor, MI for residential and commercial properties across Downriver Wayne County. Gutters on this housing are tangled up with the ventilation, and almost nobody mentions it. Hang a trough or a guard system wrong on a twelve-inch box eave and you can close off the intake you have just paid a roofer to open.
Here is how it happens. The gutter goes on high and tight to get fall across a long run, the back flange rides up over the gutter apron and against the soffit line, and a solid-top guard is then fitted from the trough back under the first course of shingles. Air that was supposed to enter along the soffit now has to come from somewhere else, and there is nowhere else.
So we set the trough against the drip edge and the apron rather than against the soffit, keep the back of any guard clear of the intake, and check the eave from inside the attic afterwards rather than assuming. It is ten minutes at the end of the job. It is also the difference between a ventilation scope that works and one that was undone by the next trade on the ladder.
Fixings are the other weak point on this stock. The fascia is nominal one-inch pine nailed to the tails and clad in aluminum somewhere around 1975, and a hanger screwed only into that has very little behind it. Our screws are long enough to land in the tail itself. Where a tail end has gone soft it is cut back and made good first, which occasionally adds a morning of carpentry.
Sizing is a conversation we usually take downward. A five-inch trough with three-by-four outlets clears a fifteen-square roof at these pitches without difficulty. Six-inch earns its price on a big steep roof and seldom on a low ranch, so unless a long valley is emptying into one corner we fit the five and spend the difference on what happens after the water leaves the trough.
Which in this part of the county is not a small matter. The ground holds water, and a downspout stopping at a splash block a foot off the wall puts hundreds of gallons a storm straight into the backfill. Six to ten feet of extension, or a buried run out to a pop-up emitter in the lawn, is inexpensive while the troughs are already down off the house.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — blown cellulose settled over the eave top plate, corrugated vent chutes fitted bay by bay, a perforated intake strip cut into the original soffit board, a rigid insulation dam holding fill back off the deck, the one-inch clear air space required above insulation, supplemental attic fill laid over original 1960s blanket — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Taylor and nearby communities including Southgate, Allen Park, Lincoln Park, Wyandotte.

Materials, equipment and how we do gutters & downspouts
The difference between gutters & downspouts that lasts and gutters & downspouts that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with blown cellulose settled over the eave top plate, corrugated vent chutes fitted bay by bay, a perforated intake strip cut into the original soffit board, a rigid insulation dam holding fill back off the deck, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Taylor job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in Downriver Wayne County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Taylor Chooses Taylor Premium Roofing
- ✓We measure how deep the insulation sits over your top plate before pricing anything, because on this housing that number decides whether a new roof will stay dry.
- ✓Thousands of houses here were sound-insulated under an airport noise program that never touched the roof. We ask whether yours was one, and we scope it differently if it was.
- ✓Intake is restored before any exhaust is added. We will decline to sell a ridge vent over a buried soffit and explain why at more length than you want.
- ✓The air path is a separate priced line beside the covering, with a figure for chutes, a figure for soffit work and a figure for ridge, so you can strike any of them.
