Canton's rowhomes have lived three lives: working-class housing for the waterfront industries, then decades of decline, then the renovation wave that made the Square what it is today. Walk the residential streets and you will see the result — gorgeous renovated interiors behind facades where the gutters tell the older story. Original built-in box gutters, patched sectional systems, downspouts held together with hope. The kitchen got granite; the gutters got ignored.
The waterfront location adds salt air to the mix — not oceanfront, but close enough that steel gutters and cheap fasteners corrode faster than they would inland. We see it in the rust streaks and the hangers that fail early. On the blocks nearest the water, aluminum with quality fasteners is the baseline, not the upgrade.
Canton rowhomes also have the rooftop-deck factor. Half the block seems to have a roof deck now, which changes the drainage — deck footings, planters, and foot traffic all affect how water moves across a flat or low-slope roof to the gutters. We plan around the deck, not despite it. And the rear gutters, as always on Baltimore rowhomes, do the heavy lifting where nobody sees — our rowhome service covers front and rear, shared downspouts and all.
