What we find on Des Peres houses
Much of what we see in Des Peres goes on 1960s ranches, many heavily renovated or replaced, and much of our work is in Dougherty Ferry, Barrett Station, Old Des Peres. The housing stock skews 1960–2018, and houses built in the same years tend to wear out the same way.
What we keep finding: 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.

The trees here and the guard question
Des Peres has mature canopy over established lots. That, more than anything, sets how often these gutters need clearing, and it is why we talk about guards differently on each street.
Our angle on Des Peres work tends to be matching gutter to a renovation — it matters most for houses of this type. Clean gutters that still overflow point to something other than debris, so we measure the roof planes instead of selling a cleaning that will not help.
We quote for free. If repair makes more sense than replacement, the quote says repair.
