Southern Gutters FL handles gutter cleaning in Broadview Park, FL, plus repair and replacement for the neighborhood's 1950s houses, about 20 minutes (10 miles) from our North Lauderdale base. This pocket of unincorporated Broward sits on the North New River Canal between Plantation and Fort Lauderdale, and because most homes went up in the late 1950s, many still carry original gutters, a patchwork of later sections, or none at all.
Streets We Serve Along the North New River Canal
We work throughout Broadview Park, from the blocks nearest the canal and State Road 84 to the numbered SW avenues in the 40s and the side streets between them. Because Broadview Park sits right between our Plantation and Fort Lauderdale routes, it is easy to fit into a week.
Property records put much of the construction between 1956 and 1959 on streets such as SW 43rd, 44th and 47th Avenues, and that is where mixed gutter systems turn up most: an original front run, a newer section over a carport and a downspout emptying beside the slab. Homes closest to the canal sit lowest, so drainage questions come up there more than anywhere else. State bills in 2004 and 2006 proposed annexing the area into neighboring cities, but it remains unincorporated, so permits still go through the County.
Lots are small and ladders often go up in narrow side yards, so we ask about gates and pets when you book.
From our North Lauderdale base the crew drives State Road 7 south to State Road 84 and the North New River Canal.

What Seventy Years Does to a 1950s Broadview Park Roof Edge
Broadview Park covers roughly 696 acres, about one square mile, and is served by Broward County's Municipal Services District rather than a city government, even though mailing addresses say Fort Lauderdale or Plantation. Its population has barely moved in half a century, from 6,049 in 1970 to 7,670 at the 2020 Census, a sign that the original late-1950s houses still make up most of the neighborhood.
The typical house is single-story concrete block with a low hip roof, built on a small lot in the late 1950s. Over the decades, owners have added carports, Florida rooms and new roofs, and the gutters have often been patched along the way rather than replaced. We regularly find three or four different gutter styles on one house.
The fascia behind those gutters is frequently original wood. Every overflow soaks it, and once it softens, hangers pull loose and sections sag or drop. Mature black olive, mango and ficus trees planted when the neighborhood was young now overhang many roofs and keep the gutters loaded.
The land near the canal is flat and low, so water dumped at the corner of a house lingers. Downspouts here need to discharge away from the slab and toward the swale, not into a side yard shared with the neighbor. If you suspect rot, our guide to rotted fascia behind gutters shows what to look for.
What Should You Know Before Booking in Unincorporated Broadview Park?
There is no city hall or HOA to clear in most of Broadview Park, which keeps scheduling simple. If a project needs a permit, it goes through Broward County rather than Plantation or Fort Lauderdale, and we will tell you up front if your scope triggers one. As with any installer, ask for their license details and certificate of insurance.
On the visit we probe the fascia, test each run with a hose and photograph problem spots before recommending repair or replacement. Where the gutter is sound, we repair it; where it is a patchwork of old sections, we explain why one seamless run usually holds up better over time than patching each joint.

Broadview Park gutter FAQs
Who handles permits for gutter work in Broadview Park?
Broadview Park is unincorporated, so any permit goes through Broward County rather than Plantation or Fort Lauderdale, even if your mailing address says one of those cities. Routine cleaning and most repairs do not need one; we will tell you during the estimate if a larger project does.
Should I repair or replace the gutters on my 1950s Broadview Park house?
Most Broadview Park houses date from about 1956 to 1959, so start with what is actually there. If the gutter is one style, straight and leaking only at a corner or two, repair it. If it is a mix of old sections, sagging where the fascia has softened, or leaking at several joints, a seamless replacement with any needed fascia work is usually the better long-term choice.
