What University City houses do to gutters
Most of what we hang in University City goes on 1910s–30s brick and stucco homes with deep eaves, and the neighborhoods we're in most weeks are The Loop, Parkview, University Heights, Ames Place. The housing stock skews 1908–1938, 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: newer K-style bolted over original crown molding detail, which looks wrong and traps water behind the fascia. We see it enough in University City that it's usually the first thing we check.
U. City eaves have real detail worth keeping. Half-round on hidden hangers respects it; a slapped-on K-style doesn't.

Trees, debris and what that means for guards
University City has dense old oak and elm canopy. 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 University City work tends to be historic character and hidden hangers — 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.
