New gutters in St. Charles 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 St. Charles
Old brick and stone around Main Street and Fifth Street, with restored buildings used as shops and homes, and suburban houses across the rest of the city. Old-town buildings raise the same fixing questions as St. Louis brick. Newer houses raise questions of big roofs and valleys.
Who to ask about permits
Ask the City of St. Charles about permits, and about any review for historic properties near Main Street. City of St. Louis and St. Louis County rules don't apply here.
Ground and where the water goes
Ground drops toward the river in the old town, and flatter bottom land needs care with discharge. Your sewer and stormwater provider here isn't MSD, so ask locally about rules on connections.
What to look at first in St. Charles
- Around Main Street, ask about historic review before you pick materials.
- On newer big roofs, check corners below valleys for overflow.
- Near the river, discharge may have little fall, so look at where it goes.
- Check old-town masonry for damage around old fixings.
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 St. Charles: questions
Who installs gutters in St. Charles?
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 St. Charles?
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 St. Charles?
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.
