The Villages / Spanish Springs Town Square / Orange Blossom Gardens
Orange Blossom Gardens is where The Villages began, with manufactured homes dating back to 1973 on the east side of US 27/441. We install and repair gutters, guards and drainage for these homes, their carports and their add-on rooms, with a state-licensed home and building inspector on every job. Call or text (352) 440-3310.

The deed restrictions recorded for Orange Blossom Gardens in the 1970s define a home in plain terms: a mobile home with its axles and wheels removed, permanently fixed to the lot. Many of those homes are still here. Listings put the oldest at 1973, and most are 2 bedroom, 2 bath manufactured homes of about 900 to 1,400 square feet on small lots.
That history shapes the gutter work. A manufactured home’s roof edge is lighter than a site-built home’s, and the fascia and trim are thinner. Over about fifty years most of these homes have picked up a carport, a screened porch or a Florida room, and many have a metal or membrane roof-over laid on top of the original. Every addition is another short roofline with its own edge, and the water from each one has to go somewhere.
What we usually find is a patchwork: a gutter on the main house, a different one on the carport, nothing on the Florida room, and fasteners that have worked loose from aged fascia. We start by checking what the edge will actually hold. Hangers every two feet spread the load on a light roof edge better than the three-foot spacing code allows, and where the fascia is soft, we tell you before we hang anything on it.
What it means for your gutters: light roof edges, several short rooflines on every home and fascia that has been holding fasteners for decades. The fix starts with what the edge can carry, then tight hanger spacing and one plan for the house, carport and add-on rooms.
Orange Blossom Gardens is in the Lady Lake/Lake County district, and the current Lady Lake/Lake County Architectural Review manual 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 Orange Blossom Gardens homes, carports and add-on rooms.
Many homes here have a metal or membrane roof laid over the original, often at a low slope. Water does not race off a low-slope roof the way it does off steep shingles. It sheets slowly to the edge, and in a summer downpour, when Central Florida gets more than half of its roughly 52 inches of rain a year, it reaches the gutter in a wide, steady flow. An undersized or poorly pitched gutter overflows right at the carport and the door.
We match the gutter and downspout to the roof each one serves, so the carport roof gets its own outlet instead of dumping onto the main run. Then we move the water away. Small lots leave little room, so we use solid PVC underground drainage to carry it about five feet out from the foundation, toward open lawn and not into the neighbor’s yard.
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 the fascia and roof edge on the main house, the carport and every add-on room, notes which roof-overs are metal or membrane, and looks at where each run drains. 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 Orange Blossom Gardens, where many homes carry about fifty years of additions and roof-overs and the edge under the gutter may not be as solid as it looks. A licensed inspector can tell you whether that fascia will hold new hangers or needs repair first, before anyone sells you a gutter.
“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.”

Orange Blossom Gardens is in the Lady Lake/Lake County district, 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.
Usually, yes. The roof edge on a manufactured home is lighter than on a site-built home, so we check the fascia first and set hangers every two feet to spread the weight. If a section of trim is soft or rotted, we show you and fix that before the gutter goes up.
In most cases. Each addition is its own roofline, and the ones without gutters tend to drop water right at the door or onto the walkway. We plan the house, carport and add-on rooms together so every section has an outlet and none of them empties onto another.
It changes the attachment and the sizing. A low-slope metal or membrane roof sends water off in a slow, wide sheet, and the edge detail is different from shingles. We fit the gutter to that edge and size the downspouts so a summer storm does not overrun them.
If trees hang over the roof, yes. Some lots here have mature oaks and citrus, and a 316L stainless micro-mesh guard keeps leaves and blossoms on top while the water drops through. If your roof is open to the sky, we will tell you guards are optional.
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 Orange Blossom Gardens home actually needs. If that is nothing right now, we will say so.
