Historic homes need careful gutter solutions that respect period architecture.
Properly sized, properly routed — water away from your foundation.
Most foundation water problems in Platte City aren't caused by failing gutters — they're caused by undersized or poorly-routed downspouts. We add capacity, reroute discharge, and install extensions or underground drainage that actually moves water away from your foundation.
Most Platte City basement seepage problems we diagnose come back to one root cause: downspouts dumping water within 3 feet of the foundation. We fix this for $400-$900 per run.

The Platte County seat, Platte City balances historic small-town character with steady residential growth fueled by KCI Airport-area expansion.
Restored Victorians near downtown, 1980s-90s ranches, and newer 2000s+ subdivisions.
Platte City sits in the Platte River basin with frequent flash-flood-grade rain events — properly sized 6" gutters perform measurably better here than 5".
Historic homes need careful gutter solutions that respect period architecture.
Newer subdivisions commonly need upgrades from undersized builder gutters.
Acreage homes often have multiple structures needing comprehensive coverage.
Honest, line-itemed quotes — no high-pressure sales, no upsells, no surprise add-ons.
Adding or replacing a downspout typically runs $80–$180 per drop in Platte City. Underground PVC drainage with pop-up emitter is $400–$900 per run installed.
Walk every downspout discharge point at your Platte City home — find where water is pooling or moving toward the foundation.
Confirm downspout count and size matches your gutter system's actual capacity.
Add downspouts, swap to oversized 3×4, or reroute existing ones.
Above-grade extensions, underground PVC with emitter, or splash blocks — whichever fits the property.
Pour or hose test to confirm water moves at least 6 ft from the foundation.
Same crews. Same warranty. Same 5.0-star standard. Some of the Platte City neighborhoods where we’ve worked:
“They installed micro-mesh guards on my 1920s bungalow surrounded by oaks. Haven't cleaned a gutter in 18 months. The peace of mind alone is worth it.”
“I've had three different gutter companies out over the years. Premier is the only one who actually fixed the underlying problem instead of just patching it. New customer for life.”
