Catonsville is one of Baltimore County’s most established communities, known for older homes, rolling terrain, and tree-lined neighborhoods. These features add charm—but they also create specific gutter and drainage challenges that require experience to address correctly.
Many Catonsville homes were built before modern rainfall patterns and rely on outdated gutter systems that struggle during heavy storms. Combined with sloped lots and dense tree coverage, this often leads to overflow, water pooling near foundations, and premature gutter failure.
Shepherd & Sons Inc. has served Catonsville and surrounding communities since 1997. We understand how water behaves on Catonsville properties and design gutter systems that move water efficiently, protect foundations, and reduce long-term maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from Catonsville homeowners
Do older Catonsville homes need gutter upgrades?
Often, yes. Many original systems are undersized and lack sufficient downspouts for modern rainfall levels.
How often should I clean my gutters in Catonsville?
Most homes need cleaning twice per year. Homes with heavy tree coverage often require a third cleaning unless gutter guards are installed.
Are gutter guards worth it in Catonsville?
For most homes, yes. They significantly reduce clogging from mature trees and lower long-term maintenance costs.
Can poor drainage damage my foundation?
Yes. Improperly directed water can saturate soil near foundations, increasing the risk of leaks and structural issues.
How long does installation take?
Most Catonsville homes are completed in one day. Larger or more complex homes may take longer, which we review upfront.
