Homes and gutters
The houses in Cherry Valley, and what they mean for the gutters
Cherry Valley is mostly newer construction. 40.4% of homes were built in 2000 or later, compared with 13.6% county-wide, for a median year built of 1997. Younger trees drop less than a mature canopy, so many of these gutters clog more from spring seeds blowing in than from fall leaves.
7.7% of housing units are in buildings with 2 to 4 units and 15.6% in buildings with 5 or more, so duplexes, two-flats and complexes are a real part of the gutter work in Cherry Valley; associations and owners can see commercial and HOA gutter cleaning.
