What Affton houses do to gutters
Most of what we hang in Affton goes on post-war brick ranches and capes, and the neighborhoods we're in most weeks are Gravois corridor, Mackenzie, Grant's Farm area. The housing stock skews 1946–1968, which tells you a lot before we ever get on a ladder — homes of one era fail in the same way.
The specific one here: original 4-inch gutter that no supplier has stocked in decades, still hanging on and overflowing every storm. We see it enough in Affton that it's usually the first thing we check.
When we find true 4-inch gutter, replacement is the only honest answer. Nothing patches into it anymore.

Trees, debris and what that means for guards
Affton has steady street canopy, lots of sweetgum. That's the single biggest factor in how often a gutter here needs clearing, and it's why the guard conversation goes differently street to street.
Our angle on Affton work tends to be small-gutter homes on tight lots — that's where the money and the headaches usually are on these houses. If your gutters are clean and still overflowing, it isn't debris, and we'd rather measure the roof planes than sell you a cleaning that won't fix it.
Estimates are free. If it turns out you need a repair rather than a replacement, that's what we'll quote.
