St. Louis’ Premier Gutter Installation & Replacement Service

For St. Louis homeowners, especially those with historic brick homes in neighborhoods like Lafayette Square or newer ranch-style houses in West County, several signs indicate the need for new gutters. Watch for gutters sagging or pulling away from your home, visible rust spots, or water overflow during our region’s frequent spring thunderstorms. In the Gateway City’s challenging climate, where temperatures can swing from below freezing to sweltering humidity, gutters face unique stresses. Local trees like Sweetgum, Eastern Redbud, and Dogwood can compound these issues, particularly in autumn when leaves accumulate. If you notice water pooling around your foundation after storms or ice formation in gutters during winter, it’s time to consider replacement. Regular inspections are especially important in early spring and late fall when St. Louis weather is most demanding on gutter systems.

Aluminum and copper are the best materials for new gutter installations in St. Louis’ diverse climate. Aluminum gutters are particularly well-suited for handling the region’s intense summer thunderstorms and heavy spring rains while being rust-resistant and cost-effective. For historic homes in neighborhoods like Lafayette Square and Soulard, copper gutters offer exceptional durability and develop a distinguished patina over time. Both materials work effectively in areas with dense tree coverage, like Forest Park and the Central West End, where oak and maple trees create significant leaf fall. These materials are also compatible with micromesh gutter protection systems that prevent debris from entering gutters while maintaining proper water flow.

Most professional gutter installations in the St. Louis metro area are completed within one day. However, installation times can vary depending on your home’s size and roof complexity. During peak seasons like spring and fall, when St. Louis experiences heavy rains and falling leaves from local maples and oaks, our installation teams adjust their schedules to accommodate weather conditions typical of the Missouri climate. Homes in areas like Clayton, Kirkwood, or Webster Groves with mature tree coverage may require additional preparation time to ensure proper installation.

Our custom gutter system uses Sherwin Williams’ Plastilure system to match your existing gutters perfectly, ensuring a seamless look that complements your St. Louis home. This is particularly important for homes in our region, where seasonal changes from spring storms to fall foliage can put extra strain on gutter systems. Whether you’re dealing with maple leaves in the Central West End or oak debris in Webster Groves, our color-matching capability helps maintain your home’s aesthetic while providing reliable gutter protection.

The size of gutters depends on your home’s roof area and local weather patterns. In St. Louis, where spring thunderstorms can dump several inches of rain in just hours, 6-inch gutters are typically recommended for most homes. These larger gutters can handle up to 7.5 gallons of water per minute – essential during those intense Midwest downpours. For historic brick homes common in neighborhoods like Lafayette Square or newer ranch-style houses in West County, 6-inch gutters provide adequate protection against our region’s humid summers and variable weather conditions.

St. Louis homeowners typically need to maintain their new gutters regularly due to the city’s distinct seasonal challenges. Spring storms and autumn leaf fall from the area’s abundant oak and maple trees, particularly in neighborhoods like Clayton and Webster Groves, can quickly fill unprotected gutters. Most local homeowners find themselves cleaning gutters 2-4 times per year, with additional maintenance needed during heavy storm seasons. While traditional gutter cleaning is common throughout St. Louis County, various protection systems are available that can help reduce maintenance requirements and safeguard against the region’s weather patterns.

Whether you own a historic Victorian in Lafayette Square or a modern home in Chesterfield, gutters can be installed on any roof type in St. Louis. From steep pitches to complex designs, fully trained and insured local professionals adapt gutter systems to accommodate different roof configurations. This is especially important in St. Louis, where seasonal challenges like heavy spring rains, summer storms, and fall maple seeds and oak leaves make proper drainage essential. Even homes with unique architectural features common to neighborhoods like Central West End or Soulard can be fitted with gutters that ensure effective water management through Missouri’s varying seasons.

Gutters protect your home by channeling rainwater away from your foundation, walls, and landscaping. In St. Louis, where we experience over 42 inches of annual rainfall and frequent summer thunderstorms, properly functioning gutters are essential. The clay-heavy soil common in areas like Clayton, Webster Groves, and Kirkwood makes effective water management crucial, as saturated clay soil can put excessive pressure on foundations. During fall, when the region’s abundant maple and oak trees shed their leaves, and winter, when ice and snow accumulation is common, well-maintained gutters help prevent water damage to homes throughout the Gateway City and surrounding communities.

Our gutter installations are backed by a lifetime transferable warranty, which covers both materials and workmanship for St. Louis area homes. This warranty documentation outlines specific coverage details and maintenance requirements to help homeowners maintain their gutter systems through Missouri’s diverse weather conditions, from summer storms to winter ice.

Yes, we remove and dispose of old gutters as part of our installation process. Here in St. Louis, where maple trees, oaks, and other deciduous trees create significant debris throughout the year, we often find ourselves replacing gutters damaged by seasonal challenges. From spring’s heavy rains to summer storms and fall’s dense leaf accumulation, particularly in neighborhoods like Clayton and Webster Groves, local weather patterns can be especially demanding on gutter systems. We remove existing gutters and install new ones that are better equipped to handle the unique challenges of our Missouri climate, where annual rainfall averages over 40 inches and severe weather events are common.
