What Des Peres houses do to gutters
Most of what we hang in Des Peres goes on 1960s ranches, many heavily renovated or replaced, and the neighborhoods we're in most weeks are Dougherty Ferry, Barrett Station, Old Des Peres. The housing stock skews 1960–2018, 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: an addition roof draining onto the original roof plane, with no gutter set to catch the transition. We see it enough in Des Peres that it's usually the first thing we check.
Renovation roofs create odd water paths. A kickout flashing and a short run of gutter solves what looks like a mystery leak.

Trees, debris and what that means for guards
Des Peres has mature canopy over established lots. 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 Des Peres work tends to be matching gutter to a renovation — 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.
