Why it matters here

Guards cut cleaning, but they don't end it, and they don't stop ice. In St. Louis Hills, 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

Well-grown street trees line streets like Nottingham and Devonshire, and Francis Park adds more. Autumn is the main load, with a good dose of seeds in spring.

The houses in St. Louis Hills

Brick houses from the 1930s to the 1950s, with early architecture that reflects developer Cyrus Willmore's English tastes: steep gables, stone trim, and slate or slate-look roofs. Steeper roofs send water to the gutters faster, and they make for awkward ladder work.

What to look at first in St. Louis Hills

  • Check steep gables where water arrives quickly at a short eave, because it may overshoot the gutter.
  • Look at downspouts near driveways that slope to a basement garage door.
  • Be careful with slate or tile near the eave when work is planned at the roof edge.
  • Check older hanging gutters for rust-through, since they may be decades old.

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 St. Louis Hills: questions

Which guard suits the trees in St. Louis Hills?

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 St. Louis Hills 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.
