The houses in Miami Shores
Half the homes in Miami Shores were built by 1953, 92% before 1980 (ACS 2020–2024). Houses that age have often had their gutters replaced once already; if not, the original runs and the boards behind them deserve a close look. On a house built before 1978, replacing more than 20 square feet of painted fascia or trim falls under the EPA’s lead-safe rule, so ask whether the crew is certified.
87% of households own their home, and 85% of homes are detached houses, 4% townhouses. If an association maintains the exterior, the gutters may be its job rather than yours; check before calling.
