Plattsmouth, Nebraska
Century-old trees over a century-old town.
Plattsmouth is the Cass County seat, a historic town on the Missouri River bluffs at the south end of the metro, about a 38-minute drive from the Elkhorn plant. Its downtown is a preserved 19th-century streetscape, and the trees over its older neighborhoods are as old as the houses.
LeaFree® is about a 38-minute drive from the plant.
What falls on a historic Plattsmouth roofline?
The Missouri River bluffs around Plattsmouth carry mature hardwood: big bur and red oak, cottonwood along the river bottoms, hackberry, and old silver maples shading the historic district. Century-old trees drop century-old-tree quantities of acorns, leaves, and twigs, and they do it onto the steep-pitched, multi-gabled roofs that older homes tend to have. Between heavy droppers and complicated rooflines, an open gutter here is a full-time job. A solid hood takes the debris out of the equation.
Plattsmouth is farther out than most of the metro, and we still install here; the drive does not change the price of the product or the warranty behind it. Historic homes often have steep, cut-up roofs with lots of valleys, so the flex-bend seam and High-Flow panels matter more than usual, fitting the hood to an irregular older roofline rather than forcing a standard piece to fit. Installing over your existing gutters keeps a historic house looking like itself.
Plattsmouth gutter questions
Do you come all the way out to Plattsmouth?
Yes. Plattsmouth is about a 38-minute drive from the plant, and we install throughout the area. The distance does not change your price, your warranty, or the fact that the panels are made in Elkhorn.
My historic Plattsmouth home has a steep, cut-up roof. Will the hood fit it?
That is what the flex-bend seam is for: it lets us custom-fit the hood to any pitch, and we bend the 4-foot panels on site. Steep sections and valleys get High-Flow panels for the concentrated water, so an irregular older roofline is handled piece by piece.
