Gutter guards in Millersville
For family homes and student rentals in the borough around Millersville University.
Millersville is a borough about 4 miles southwest of Lancaster. The census counted about 7,900 residents in 2020. It began as Millerstown, a crossroads on farmland that sent goods into Lancaster, and in 1855 it was chartered as the site of a state normal school that is now Millersville University, on the south side of the borough. A small section of the borough's southern edge touches the Conestoga River.
What gutter problems are common in Millersville?
A lot of the borough's housing sits on older streets near the university, and plenty of it is rented. Rentals tend to get cleaned less often, so the call is usually about clogged gutters, downspouts that have been knocked loose and overflow that's started staining the siding or soaking the basement. Owner-occupied houses on the edges of the borough look more like the rest of the county's suburbs, with two-story walls and original builder gutters.
Typical work in Millersville
- Guards to cut down on clogs at rental houses

- Fascia repair where gutters have overflowed for years

Who handles permits?
Millersville is its own borough, so building questions go to the borough office rather than Lancaster city or the county. Ask them whether your project needs anything before work starts.
