De Allende is the smallest village in District 1: one street of Premier homes built mostly between 1998 and 2001, backing onto the Tierra Del Sol championship course. They are the biggest homes around, all concrete block with a stucco finish, and their rooflines are long and broken up by hips, offsets and bump-outs, especially on the golf side.
A straight run of seamless gutter has no joints until it turns a corner. On a plain ranch roof that might happen four times. On a De Allende Premier home it can happen a dozen times or more, and every one of those corners is a miter that was cut, joined and sealed by hand on the day the house was finished. Each one is a place where water can get out.
After more than 20 Florida summers, that sealant has dried, shrunk and pulled away from the metal. The miter starts to drip, first only in hard rain, then in every rain. Because these corners sit high on a tall roofline, most owners notice the drip line in the mulch or a wet spot on the lanai deck long before they see the joint itself. Some miters can be cleaned to bare metal and resealed, and that is the honest fix when the aluminum is sound. When a corner is bent, patched more than once, or the run beside it is pulling off the fascia, we replace that run with new .032 aluminum rolled on site and hang it every two feet. We show you which corners are which before you decide anything.
What it means for your gutters: long, cut-up rooflines with a lot of corners that are now more than 20 years old. De Allende homes need every miter checked, resealed where the metal is good and replaced where it is not.
De Allende is in District 1, and the current District 1 Architectural Review manual (revised August 2026) says ARC approval is not required for gutters and downspouts on homes, courtyard villas and patio villas. You still need to match the look of the neighborhood, and anything beyond gutters and downspouts goes through review first.
Rules get revised, so we check the current manual before we start. If your project needs an application, we say so up front and help you put it together. The manuals are posted on the District Government Community Standards page.
Here is what we do for the Premier homes on Allende Avenue.
De Allende homesites are large by Villages standards, which is a real advantage when it comes to roof water. On a tight villa lot there is often nowhere good for a downspout to empty. Here there is usually open lawn on at least one side, and a big roof sends a lot of water down each downspout in a summer storm, so where it lands matters.
Too often, a downspout on a home this size just ends at a short splash block by the corner, and all that water soaks in right along the slab or cuts a channel through the bed. We would rather carry it off. Solid PVC underground drainage takes each downspout about five feet from the foundation, or farther when the yard allows, to a pop-up emitter in the lawn. We never bury black corrugated pipe, because it crushes, holds debris and is hard to clear.
Call or text (352) 440-3310 or book online. Tell us what you are seeing: overflow at a corner, a run that sags, water at the slab, or just the leaves. If it is a mystery leak, we offer a $100 diagnostic visit that is credited toward the work.
Jeff checks every miter and seam on the roofline, looks for drip lines in the beds below the corners, and follows each downspout to see where the water ends up. Then you get a straight answer, including when the right call is a cleaning or a small repair and nothing else.
Seamless .032 aluminum rolled on site, hangers every two feet, 316L stainless mesh where it earns its keep and solid PVC carrying water out about five feet from the house. Then we clean up, walk it with you and stand behind it with our lifetime no-clog guard warranty.
Premium Leaf Guards is run by Jeff Ours, a state-licensed home and building inspector and court-recognized construction expert with more than twenty years in the trade. He is on every job and does about half of every install himself.
That matters in De Allende, where the rooflines are complicated and a failing corner can sit two stories of roofline away from where you see the drip. Jeff inspects homes for a living, so he tells you whether a corner needs a reseal or the run needs replacing, and he does not sell the bigger job when the smaller one will do.
“The system is only as good as the installer. I like money, but I don’t try to sell you something you don’t need.”
Jeff Ours, owner
De Allende is in District 1, and the current Architectural Review manual says ARC approval is not required for gutters and downspouts on homes, courtyard villas and patio villas. The manual does not mention gutter guards by name, and anything beyond gutters and downspouts goes through review, so we check the current manual for your project before we start.
Often, yes. If the aluminum is sound and the run is still tight to the fascia, we clean the joint down to bare metal and reseal it. If the corner is bent, has been patched more than once, or the hangers beside it are loose, a reseal only buys a little time, and we will tell you that up front.
Look down before you look up. A leaking miter leaves a drip line in the mulch, a dark spot on the pavers or a wet patch on the lanai deck right under it. We confirm it from the ladder during a water test, so you are not paying to fix corners that are fine.
It depends on what is over your roof, not on the fairway. Open golf frontage brings less leaf litter than a wooded lot, but whatever the nearest trees drop still ends up in the gutter. We look at the roof and the outlets first. If guards will not earn their keep on your home, we will say so.
Block will not rot the way a wood-framed wall can, but the roof water still lands somewhere. Without gutters it splashes the stucco, wears out the beds and soaks the soil along the slab. On a roof this size that is a lot of water, which is why we pair gutters with underground drains.
It depends on the length of your roof line, the number of corners and downspouts, and whether you add guards or underground drainage. We price every job all in and the estimate is free. Call or text (352) 440-3310 and we will come look.
We work all over the villages around Spanish Springs Town Square. If you are visiting friends in a neighboring village, these pages are written for their homes:

We will look at your roof line, your gutters and where the water goes, and tell you what your De Allende home actually needs. If that is nothing right now, we will say so.
