Towson is one of Baltimore County’s most active and densely developed communities. With a mix of older single-family homes, townhouses, rental properties, and commercial buildings near Towson University and the York Road corridor, gutter systems here face challenges you don’t see in quieter suburbs.
Older construction, frequent foot traffic, heavy rainfall, and tree-lined neighborhoods all put added stress on gutters and drainage systems.
Shepherd & Sons Inc. has served Towson homeowners and property managers for more than 28 years. We understand how water moves around Towson properties — from narrow side yards to busy sidewalks — and we install gutter systems that protect buildings without creating new drainage problems.
If you own or manage property in Towson, proper gutter performance matters.

Common Towson Gutter Problems
Problem: Gutters Overflowing on Older Towson Homes
Why it happens: Many Towson homes were built decades ago with narrow or sectional gutters that weren’t designed for today’s heavier rain. Steep rooflines on older colonials and capes push a lot of water into systems that can’t keep up.
Solution: We replace outdated systems with properly pitched 5" or 6" seamless gutters that move water efficiently and reduce overflow during heavy storms.
Problem: Gutters Sagging or Pulling Away from the House
Why it happens: Older homes often still have spike-and-ferrule gutter systems that loosen over time due to rain, snow, and freeze-thaw cycles.
Solution: We secure gutters using modern hidden hangers that provide stronger attachment and long-term stability.
Problem: Water Staining on Brick and Masonry Exteriors
Why it happens: Brick and stone homes in Towson often show visible staining when gutters leak or overflow, leading to cosmetic damage over time.
Solution: We seal leak points, correct pitch issues, and replace failing sections to keep water off exterior walls.
Problem: Gutters Fill Up Quickly With Leaves
Why it happens: Towson neighborhoods have mature trees, and gutters here tend to clog faster than homeowners expect — especially in the fall.
Solution: Professional cleanings or gutter guards to reduce buildup and overflow.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from Towson homeowners
Can gutter problems affect neighboring properties in Towson?
Absolutely. Because homes are close together, poorly routed downspouts can send water toward a neighbor’s driveway, yard, or foundation. Drainage planning is especially important in Towson to avoid disputes and water damage.
Are gutter repairs harder on Towson homes with narrow side yards?
They can be. Limited access affects ladder placement, drainage routing, and equipment setup. Experience with Towson layouts helps ensure work is done safely and correctly without damaging nearby structures.
Do brick homes in Towson need special gutter attention?
Yes. Many Towson homes have brick or masonry exteriors that show staining quickly when gutters leak or overflow. Even small gutter issues can become very noticeable on brick surfaces.
Is it common for Towson homes to need larger gutters?
Yes. Many Towson homes benefit from 6" gutters due to roof pitch and water volume, not square footage. The roof design matters more than the size of the home.
Why do gutters pull loose faster on older Towson homes?
Older fascia boards and outdated fasteners don’t always hold up to decades of weather and modern rainfall patterns. Many Towson homes still have original hardware that’s past its lifespan.
