Ladue housing and gutter trouble

Much of what we see in Ladue goes on large estate homes, many with slate or tile roofs, and you'll see our crews most in Deer Creek, Warson, Litzsinger corridor. The housing stock skews 1920–1960, which tells you a lot before we ever get on a ladder — homes of one era fail in the same way.

Our most frequent find: aluminum gutter hung under a slate roof, which lasts about a third as long as the roof above it. We see it enough in Ladue that we look for it before anything else.

A slate roof outlives four sets of aluminum gutter. On those homes copper is the cheaper decision over time.

Tree cover in Ladue and why it matters

Ladue has heavy mature hardwood. It is the biggest single reason gutters here clog as often as they do, and it is why guard advice is different block to block.

Our usual advice on Ladue work tends to be copper half-round on slate roofs — that's where we can save you the most trouble. If your gutters are clean and still overflowing, debris is not the problem, and we would rather measure the roof planes than sell you a cleaning that will not fix it.

The visit costs nothing. Should the fix turn out to be a repair instead of a replacement, that is exactly what we will quote.
