St. Louis winters open up weak joints in a wet gutter, so a repair in Ladue should look at why it failed as well as where. We pass your request to an independent contractor. They diagnose, quote and fix; we don't do repairs ourselves.
What to look at first in Ladue
- Check valleys that send most of a big roof into one corner, and ask whether 6-inch or larger downspouts would help.
- Have older buried drain lines checked, because they often silt up unseen.
- Ask for someone comfortable working around slate, tile and copper.
- Trim limbs that overhang the eave before paying for guards.
The houses in Ladue
Mostly large single-family houses, many with complicated roofs of slate, tile or heavy shingle, plus copper accents on some. Long runs and multiple valleys are the norm, and details like half-round or copper often come up.
Trees and what lands in the gutter
Large trees on large lots mean plenty of leaves, twigs and acorns, and limbs that overhang the roof. Long gutter runs give all of that room to collect.
Who to ask about permits
Ladue is its own city, so ask at city hall about permits and any design rules before work starts.
What to ask the contractor
- What caused it?A repair with no cause tends to return. Ask them to show you, with photos if it's high up.
- What will you use?Ask about sealant, rivets and fasteners, and avoid asphalt patches on metal.
- Is the wood behind it sound?Ask them to check before re-hanging anything.
- Is there a price before you start?Get it in writing, including any trip charge. Ask how long the work is guaranteed, if at all.

Repair in Ladue: questions
Who fixes gutters in Ladue?
Independent local contractors. Send a request and we pass it on. A contractor who can take the job contacts you directly, and contractors may pay us a referral fee.
How do I know if it's worth repairing?
One bad joint or a few loose hangers usually is. Rust-through, repeated sagging or rot behind the trough usually isn't. Ask the contractor for a straight comparison with replacement.
What should a repair quote say?
The cause, the fix, the materials, the price and any trip charge. If wood behind the gutter is soft, the quote should say what happens about that before anything is re-hung.
