Ferndale is one of Anne Arundel County’s well-established suburban communities, nestled conveniently between Baltimore and major hubs like BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport. With a mix of older ranch-style homes, mid-century bungalows, single-family residences, and established neighborhoods, gutter systems here encounter unique challenges compared to more varied or elevated areas in Central Maryland.
Shepherd & Sons Inc. has been delivering expert gutter services to Ferndale homeowners since 1997. We know how water flows on these flatter suburban lots, how airport-area and bay-influenced storms drive intense runoff, and how to craft effective gutter solutions that direct water away efficiently—preventing backups, soil erosion, or damage to foundations.
Dealing with persistent gutter overflow, stubborn debris clogs or water pooling around your Ferndale property? We're equipped to deliver tailored fixes that last.

Common Ferndale Gutter Problems
Problem: Gutters leaning forward or pulling away from the roof.
Why it happens: Original wood trim on Ferndale bungalows softens over time due to "splash-back" moisture.
Solution: Fascia restoration and aluminum wrapping for a rot-proof mounting surface.
Problem: Water jumping over the gutter during heavy storms.
Why it happens: Cape Cod-style homes have steep roofs that send water flying at high speeds.
Solution: 6-inch oversized gutters and high-back diverters to catch high-velocity runoff.
Problem: Thick "mats" of needles causing gutters to overflow.
Why it happens: Tall White Pines near the park drop needles that weave together and dam up standard systems.
