Mature canopy creates heavy debris loads year-round
Mature canopy creates heavy debris loads year-round.
Properly sized, properly routed — water away from your foundation.
Most foundation water problems in Westwood 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.
Premier upgrades undersized 2×3 downspouts to oversized 3×4 across Westwood — 40% more capacity, especially valuable during the metro's hail-heavy spring storms.

One of the smallest and most affluent cities in the metro, Westwood is a tightly-held inner-ring enclave of 1930s–50s homes on shaded streets just minutes from the Plaza.
Tudors, capes, and brick colonials from the 1930s–50s, often updated with modern additions.
Westwood's dense tree canopy holds moisture longer after rain — algae growth on gutters is more common here than in open suburbs.

Slate and tile roofs need specialized gutter mounting hardware.
Period-appropriate half-round or copper gutters are common upgrades on historic homes.
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 Westwood. Underground PVC drainage with pop-up emitter is $400–$900 per run installed.
Walk every downspout discharge point at your Westwood 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 Westwood neighborhoods where we’ve worked:
“After 20 years of dealing with overflowing gutters every storm, Premier finally diagnosed the issue: undersized downspouts. New 3x4" downspouts solved it the same day.”
“I called Premier after a contractor friend recommended them. The estimator showed me exactly what was wrong, no upsell, no pressure. I scheduled the same week.”
