A gutter in St. Clair earns its keep on the days I-44 turns to spray. When an eastern Missouri thunderstorm parks over the southern end of Franklin County and dumps an inch of rain in under an hour, the gutter is the only thing standing between that water and your foundation, your siding, and the soil pulling away from your slab. The homes off Highway 47 near the old town center and the ranch and split-level streets that filled in through the 1980s and 1990s all share the same problem when a trough fails: the water finds the basement and the fascia turns soft long before anyone thinks to look up.

Emmendorfer Exteriors started as a roofing company in 1990, and founder Matt Emmendorfer added gutters because storm customers wanted one family to fix everything the hail and wind tore loose, not three trucks on three days. We run a portable seamless machine right to your St. Clair driveway and roll each gutter out of a single coil of aluminum, cut to the exact run of your roof. That is a true seamless gutter, not the pre-cut sectioned lengths a big-box store sells you to snap together yourself, where every joint becomes a future leak. We are fifteen minutes up the interstate in Union, the Franklin County seat, so a St. Clair gutter is a hometown job, not an out-of-county drive-in after the storm.

How it works

What our gutters includes in St. Clair

A gutter job done right starts behind the gutter, not at it. Here is what happens once you approve the estimate.

  1. Inspect the fascia and gutter boards first

    Before a single foot of gutter goes up, we check the wood it hangs on. Old gutters that held water for years usually leave soft or rotten fascia and gutter boards behind them. We show you what we find and replace the bad wood, because new gutter screwed into rotten board pulls right back off in the next storm.

  2. Measure every roofline on-site

    We measure each run of your roof to the inch, then size the system. Most Franklin County homes get 5-inch K-style gutter, but steeper or larger roofs that shed a lot of water fast get 6-inch with oversized downspouts so a hard Missouri downpour does not overshoot the trough.

  3. Roll your gutters seamless from one coil

    Our machine forms each gutter from a continuous coil of aluminum, cut to the exact length of the run. One unbroken piece per roofline means no mid-run seams to leak, the single biggest failure point on sectioned store-bought gutter. You pick the color and we color-match it to your roof and siding.

  4. Hang, pitch, and seal the system

    We hang the gutters with hidden hangers, pitch them so water actually runs to the downspouts instead of pooling, and seal every corner and end cap. Downspouts get placed to carry water away from the foundation, not dump it at the corner of the house where it soaks back in.

  5. Clean to no footprint

    We haul off every scrap of old gutter and magnet-sweep for fallen screws. Customers tell us our cleanup is our signature. We want to get in, do the work, and get out without leaving a footprint in your yard or your gutters full of our debris.

Local angle

St. Clair's setting is exactly why gutter size matters here. The town climbs the wooded ridges between the Meramec and Bourbeuse watersheds, so a lot of roofs sit under heavy oak and maple cover that buries troughs in leaves every fall, and a lot of rural acreage roofs south of town shed a huge volume of water fast off steep gables and long runs. A 5-inch gutter clogged with St. Clair leaf litter or overwhelmed by a hard I-44-corridor downpour overshoots and sends the water straight down the wall. We size the system to your actual roof, step up to 6-inch with oversized downspouts where the water load calls for it, and add leaf guards under the tree line so you are not on a ladder twice a year. We also check the fascia and gutter boards underneath first, because a Missouri freeze-thaw winter rots the wood a failing gutter has been soaking for years, and new gutter screwed to bad board pulls right back off in the next spring storm.

FAQ

Gutters in St. Clair: questions

Seamless aluminum gutters typically run about $6 to $13 per linear foot installed in this market, so an average St. Clair home with 150 to 200 feet of gutter lands roughly in the $1,200 to $2,600 range. Fascia replacement, 6-inch upgrades, and leaf guards add to that. We measure your actual rooflines and hand you a real written number before any work starts.
We are based in Union, the Franklin County seat, about fifteen minutes northeast of St. Clair up Interstate 44. The family has worked here since around 2003 and roofed Missouri homes since 1990. Many companies that show up for St. Clair gutter searches are metro operators running one landing page from outside the county. We are right up the road. Call (314) 568-4163.
Six-inch gutter moves roughly 40 percent more water than standard 5-inch. Most St. Clair homes do fine on 5-inch, but the steep gables and long runs on the rural acreage roofs south of town, plus any gutter that already overshoots in a hard rain, usually need 6-inch with oversized downspouts. We size the system to your roof, not to a one-price package.
Often yes here. St. Clair sits in the wooded ridges between the Meramec and Bourbeuse, so a lot of homes fight oak and maple litter every fall. A gutter guard ends the twice-a-year ladder routine and keeps water flowing during the storms that matter. They are not right for every roof, so we look at your tree line and pitch and tell you honestly whether they pay off.
Yes, and we check it before we hang anything. Old gutters that held water through years of St. Clair freeze-thaw winters usually leave soft or rotten fascia and gutter boards behind them. We replace the bad wood, wrap fascia in aluminum trim coil so it never needs painting, then hang the new seamless gutter on sound board. New gutter screwed to rotten wood pulls right off in the next storm.
Often yes, when hail or wind caused the damage. St. Clair sits in the I-44 severe-weather corridor, and the same storms that bruise roofs tear gutters loose. Tom Emmendorfer documents the gutter damage alongside any roof and siding damage, files the claim, and meets your adjuster on site. Under Missouri law no contractor can pay or waive your deductible, so be wary of anyone who offers to.
