Why it matters here

Guards cut cleaning, but they don't end it, and they don't stop ice. In Kirkwood, look at what actually falls on your roof before you pick a type. We pass your request to an independent contractor, who advises, quotes and fits. We don't sell guards.

Trees and what lands in the gutter

Kirkwood is proud of its trees, and its Greentree Festival has raised money to replace park trees. Shade like that means seeds, leaves and small twigs, and damp gutters that stay wet longer.

The houses in Kirkwood

A wide spread of ages, from older houses in the Kirkwood Historic District near the station to mid-century and newer homes farther out. Expect wood fascia on many of them, and big additions that may have changed how a roof drains.

What to look at first in Kirkwood

  • If the house has an addition, check that new and old roof sections drain to enough downspouts.
  • Look at fascia under the shade of big trees, where wood stays damp longer.
  • Check that hillside discharge doesn't reach a retaining wall or a neighbor.
  • Ask about guards if ladder work is awkward and tree cover is heavy.

What to ask the contractor

  1. Which type, and why for my trees?Ask them to name your trees and explain how the product handles them.
  2. How does it fix to the roof edge?Under the shingles, on the drip edge or on the gutter lip? Ask if that affects your roof warranty.
  3. What's the upkeep?Get an honest answer about brushing and downspout checks.
  4. What about ice?Ask what happens at the eave in a freeze and thaw.

Guards in Kirkwood: questions

Which guard suits the trees in Kirkwood?

Small seeds and catkins favor fine mesh. If it's mostly big leaves, simpler types can work. Ask the contractor to name your trees and explain the choice. The guard guide covers each type.

Can you get guards fitted on an older Kirkwood home?

Often, but the gutter needs to be sound and pitched first, and old or slate roofs need care at the edge. Ask how the guard fixes and whether anything gets lifted.
