On older Del City homes, a close look at the decking and flashing matters more than the shingle. We repair and replace roofs here, and install seamless gutters.
We would rather do a repair that is genuinely the right answer than sell a roof that is not needed yet. When a repair has stopped making sense we will tell you that too, with photographs.
Gutters are worth taking seriously on older houses. When they stop working the damage does not stay at the gutter: water backs up at the eave, gets behind the fascia and reaches the decking.
How old the houses are, the storms on record and the city's permit rules, all from public sources. It is what we check before we quote.
Over half of Del City's homes were built between 1950 and 1969, and plenty are on their third or later roof. The decking underneath is often original plank board, which decides whether a replacement needs new decking. We check it before we price and photograph it once the old roof is off.

Del City began in 1946 with precut, part assembled houses, and the median home here was built in 1964, the oldest of the nine cities we serve. Most of those houses were built with plank decking under the roof. Source

They are part of the roof system, and when they stop working the damage does not stay at the gutter: water backs up at the eave and reaches the decking.
It depends on the trees. Worth adding where branches overhang the roof; a much weaker case where nothing does, and we will say so rather than sell it anyway.
