Local know-how
Gutters and gutter guards in Missouri
Missouri sees severe storms, hail and tornadoes, and gutters are often replaced along with storm-damaged roofs. Springfield and Joplin in particular see frequent hail.
The Ozarks are heavily wooded, making guards popular for homes and cabins. Seamless gutters with good downspouts protect basements across the state.
In Columbia, Jefferson City and Cape Girardeau, many older homes need gutter replacement, and guards are popular under the state’s abundant oaks and hickories.
Key facts: gutters in Missouri
- Typical cost: HomeGuide puts seamless aluminum gutters at about $6 to $12 per linear foot installed nationally; local prices vary.
- Do gutter installers need a license in Missouri? There is no statewide license. Cities and counties set their own rules; ask which local licenses the installer holds.
- How much rain fell in St. Louis in July 2022? About 9 inches fell at Lambert Airport by noon on July 26, 2022, breaking a daily record from 1915.
- Common choice: seamless aluminum K-style gutters in 5- or 6-inch sizes; 6-inch with 3x4-inch downspouts for large roofs and heavy rain.

Storms, hail and record rain
Missouri sits where Plains storms meet Gulf moisture. St. Louis averages roughly 42 inches of precipitation a year under the 1991–2020 normals, and some of it arrives all at once: on July 26, 2022, about 9 inches fell at Lambert Airport by noon, shattering a daily record from 1915, and St. Charles County got more than 12 inches. Kansas City’s wettest months, May and June, each average more than 5 inches. Hail is common across the western half of the state; storm reports listed dozens of hail reports around Kansas City in 2025 alone.
Basements and clay soils
Most Missouri homes in the St. Louis and Kansas City areas have basements, and clay soils drain slowly. Roof water dumped at the foundation is a leading cause of wet basements. Extensions several feet long onto ground that slopes away are the first fix. In St. Louis, MSD Project Clear has addressed downspout and sewer issues in parts of the region; check local rules before changing downspouts connected to sewers. See wet basement? check your gutters first.
Hail and gutters
Hail dents aluminum gutters and downspouts, crushes elbows and strips shingle granules into gutters. Heavier-gauge aluminum resists dents. After storms, document damage with photos before repairs, and coordinate gutter replacement with any roof replacement. See hail-damaged gutters.
Karst in the Ozarks and around St. Louis
Missouri is known as the Cave State, and karst landscapes with sinkholes are common in the Ozarks and parts of the St. Louis region. Concentrated roof water can contribute to sinkhole formation in carbonate areas. Spread discharge out and never drain into depressions. See gutters in sinkhole country.
Older brick homes
St. Louis and Kansas City have large stocks of early 20th-century brick homes with flat or low-slope roofs, parapets, scuppers, built-in gutters and decades of patched gutters. Fascia often needs repair before new gutters go up. See gutters for flat roofs and fascia repair before new gutters.
Trees and the leaf season
Oaks, maples, sycamores and sweetgums fill gutters across Missouri in fall, and pin oaks hold leaves into winter, so gutters can clog again after the first cleaning. Cottonwood fluff and maple seeds clog them in spring. Guards that fasten down reduce clogs and resist storm winds. See are gutter guards worth it?
Licensing is local
Missouri has no statewide license for general or home improvement contractors. Licensing and permits are handled by cities and counties: St. Louis County, the City of St. Louis and Kansas City each have their own rules. On the Kansas side of Kansas City, Johnson County licenses contractors; in the Illinois Metro East, the Illinois Home Repair and Remodeling Act requires a written contract and a consumer rights pamphlet for jobs over $1,000. Ask the installer which licenses they hold for your city.

Choosing gutters in Missouri
Size gutters and downspouts for intense storms, choose heavier gauge for hail, carry water away from basements and spread it out in karst areas. Under oaks and maples, guards reduce clogs. Spring is storm season; late summer and early fall are often easier to schedule. See downspout size and placement and how to choose a gutter contractor.
