Why University City gutters fail the way they do
Most gutter we install in University City goes on 1910s–30s brick and stucco homes with deep eaves, and our trucks are usually parked in The Loop, Parkview, University Heights, Ames Place. The housing stock skews 1908–1938, and same-era houses tend to share the same weak spots.
Our most frequent find: 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 at the top of our checklist.
U. City eaves have real detail worth keeping. Half-round on hidden hangers respects it; a slapped-on K-style doesn't.

Tree cover in University City and why it matters
University City has dense old oak and elm canopy. 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.
What we stress on University City work tends to be historic character and hidden hangers — it matters most for houses of this type. Overflow from a clean gutter is not a debris issue, and we would sooner measure the roof planes than charge for a cleaning that will not fix it.
Free to look. When a repair will do the job instead of a replacement, that is what goes on the quote.
