The houses in South Bend
Half the homes in South Bend were built by 1966, 70% before 1980 (ACS 2020–2024). At that age a gutter has seen decades of leaves and storms, and the fascia it hangs from has too. 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.
60% of households own their home, and 66% of homes are detached houses. Where an HOA governs the exterior, its rules on gutter color and style apply before any order is placed.
