What St. Charles houses do to gutters
Most of what we hang in St. Charles goes on a real mix — 1800s frame homes downtown, 1990s subdivisions west, and the neighborhoods we're in most weeks are Frenchtown, Historic Main Street, New Town. The housing stock skews 1840–2005, 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: cottonwood fluff and seed matting into a felt plug that water runs right over. We see it enough in St. Charles that it's usually the first thing we check.
Anything near the river takes on a different debris load than the rest of the metro. Cottonwood fluff mats worse than leaves do.

Trees, debris and what that means for guards
St. Charles has river-bottom cottonwood and sycamore near the Missouri. 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 St. Charles work tends to be historic district work and river-corridor debris — 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.
