New gutters in Carondelet have to suit the house and its ground as well as about 85 freezing nights a year. Get the layout right and water reaches a downspout, then somewhere harmless. This site is a referral service: we pass your request to an independent contractor who measures and quotes.
The houses in Carondelet
Mostly brick, built between 1880 and 1930: single-story cottages, apartment buildings and larger single-family houses. Cottages have low eaves, which are easy to reach but leave overflow close to the wall. Larger buildings can need much more ladder.
Who to ask about permits
City guidance says gutter and downspout replacement usually needs no permit outside a City Historic District. Ask the City of St. Louis Cultural Resources Office, (314) 657-3865 if your address may fall inside one, since this area has its own history.
Ground and where the water goes
Ground steps down toward the river, with Sugarloaf Mound as a reminder of how old this landscape is. Downhill neighbors feel your roof water, and small-lot cottages have little room to spread it.
What to look at first in Carondelet
- Check low cottage eaves, where overflow lands right against the foundation.
- Look at old stone or brick foundations for signs of damp near downspouts.
- On sloping streets, aim discharge so it doesn't run to a downhill neighbor.
- On an apartment building, confirm who owns and maintains shared gutters.
What to ask the contractor
- Will you measure at the house and put it in writing?Ask for footage, gutter size, metal thickness, color, hanger type and spacing, downspout count and size, removal, and any trim repair as separate lines. Ask if the estimate is free.
- How will you fix to my brick or trim?Get the method in plain words, including what happens to soft brick and rotten fascia.
- Where will each downspout discharge?Walk it together. Ask what happens to any old pipe going into the ground.
- Who checks permit and historic rules?Ask who checks and who applies, before you sign.

Installation in Carondelet: questions
Who installs gutters in Carondelet?
Independent local contractors. We pass your request on, and a contractor who can take the job contacts you directly. We don't install anything ourselves, and contractors may pay us a referral fee.
How do I get a price for new gutters in Carondelet?
Ask for a measurement at the house and a written, itemized quote. Published averages can't see your walls, corners or trim. This guide explains what each line on a quote should say.
What size gutter suits a house in Carondelet?
It depends on roof area and pitch, not on the neighborhood. Many smaller roofs manage with 5-inch K-style, and large or steep sections often need 6-inch with bigger downspouts. Ask the contractor to explain the choice for your roof.
