Historic mansions need careful restoration of original copper or wood gutter systems.
Properly sized, properly routed — water away from your foundation.
Most foundation water problems in St. Joseph 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 St. Joseph 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.

A historic Missouri River city with a stunning architectural heritage, St. Joseph features grand Victorian mansions, brick rowhouses, and one of the most photogenic downtowns in the state.
1860s-1900s Victorians, Italianate and Romanesque mansions on Hall Street, 1920s bungalows, and mid-century ranches further from downtown.
St. Joseph's river-valley location means high humidity and frequent severe weather — original 1880s copper gutters often outlast modern aluminum because of material quality.
Historic mansions need careful restoration of original copper or wood gutter systems.
Older homes commonly have decades of fascia rot hidden behind aged gutters.
Steep urban lots create complex drainage situations.
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 St. Joseph. Underground PVC drainage with pop-up emitter is $400–$900 per run installed.
Walk every downspout discharge point at your St. Joseph 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 St. Joseph neighborhoods where we’ve worked:
“We have a complex two-story with multiple roof pitches. Premier was the only company that didn't try to talk us into a one-size-fits-all install. The custom work shows.”
“Fast quote, fair price, and they actually showed up when they said they would. Crew repaired some hidden wood rot before installing — most companies would have just slapped gutters over it.”
