Half the homes in West Park were built by 1962, 84% before 1980 (ACS 2020–2024).

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.
61% of households own their home, and 86% of homes are detached houses, 1% townhouses. If an association maintains the exterior, the gutters may be its job rather than yours; check before calling.
