All Pro Gutter Guards — Trusted Since 2001
Gutter Experts Serving West Chester, PA
West Chester is the Chester County seat, a 1.8 square mile borough of about 8,100 housing units according to Census figures, and it sits roughly 28 minutes and 14 miles from our office at 27 E Front St #4 in Media. We install our own All Pro micro-mesh gutter guards, form seamless gutters on site, and handle gutter replacement, repair, cleaning and downspouts here. Estimates are free, the phone line at (610) 510-8049 is open 24/7, and we work under Pennsylvania license PA052821.
Older Borough Housing Around Gay and High Streets
Census figures for West Chester put the median year built at 1954, with 54 percent of homes finished before 1960 and 43 percent before 1940. That puts a large share of the borough's rooflines in the same era as the downtown historic district that was added to the National Register in 1985. On houses this old we usually find sectional gutters with joints that have been sealed more than once, and sometimes half-round profiles on the oldest properties. Fascia boards behind them may be soft where water has been sitting. Before any guard goes on we check whether the hangers still have sound wood to bite into, repair or replace what does not, and only then fit micro-mesh. Just 17 percent of units are single-family detached, so twins and row-style homes with shared runs are common work for us.
Heavy Rain Across the Brandywine and Chester Creek Watersheds
West Chester straddles the Brandywine Creek and Chester Creek watersheds, and the NOAA station W Chester 2 NW, about 3 km from town, records roughly 51 inches of precipitation a year with about 14 days of heavy rain. Those heavy days are what decide whether a gutter works. A narrow run with one undersized downspout will overshoot at the front edge no matter how clean it is, so we look at gutter size, hanger spacing and how many outlets a roof face actually needs. When we form seamless gutters on site we cut them to the exact length of the run, which removes the joints that leak first. Downspouts get checked and replaced or added where the volume calls for it.
Snow Load and Ice on West Chester Roofs
The same West Chester station records about 30 inches of snow a year and roughly 131 nights at or below freezing. That combination is hard on gutters. Snow slides, sits at the eave, melts during the day and refreezes after dark, which is how ice dams form and how loose spikes get pulled out of old fascia. A guard has to be rigid enough to carry that weight without sagging into the trough. Our All Pro micro-mesh is fitted to the gutter and the roof edge so meltwater has a path and the mesh does not act as a shelf for ice. On homes with mature trees we clean the gutters first, which is often the first job we do in the borough.

West Chester Gutter Questions
Do you cover addresses outside the borough that use a West Chester mailing address?
Yes. Most of the neighboring townships use West Chester as their mailing address, including West Goshen Township on the north, south and east sides of the borough and East Bradford Township to the west. We travel to all of it from our Media office, roughly 28 minutes and 14 miles by road. Call (610) 510-8049 for a free estimate and we will confirm your address.
Will gutter guards stop ice problems on my West Chester home in winter?
Guards are not a de-icing system, but they matter. With about 30 inches of snow and around 131 freezing nights a year at the nearby NOAA station, a gutter packed with leaves has no room for meltwater and freezes solid. Our micro-mesh keeps the trough clear so water can reach the downspouts, and it is stiff enough not to sag under snow sitting at the eave.
My house near the old part of town is from the 1930s. Can guards go on gutters that old?
Often yes, but we inspect first. With 43 percent of West Chester homes built before 1940 per Census figures, we regularly find sectional or half-round gutters and fascia that has softened. If the wood and hangers are sound we clean, repair and fit micro-mesh. If not, we form new seamless gutters on site to the length of each run, then add guards.
Why do downspouts come up so much on West Chester estimates?
Because of the rain volume. The W Chester 2 NW station records about 51 inches of precipitation a year and roughly 14 heavy rain days. On those days the limiting factor is usually outlet capacity, not the gutter itself. Water backs up and spills at the lowest point. We count outlets against roof area and add or resize downspouts where a run is clearly short of drainage.

After years of dealing with gutter cleaning we finally contacted All Pro Gutter Guards and are very happy that we did. The installation process this summer was efficient and carefully completed. The gutter guards have been great, with no leaf buildup after the leaves fell this autumn. We especially appreciate the efforts of Phil Zilkovsky, who provided help with a separate box gutter issue. All Pro Gutter Guards has provided high quality materials, skilled workmanship, and outstanding customer service. We highly recommend them!
