Stonington was settled in 1649. Its defining moment came during the War of 1812. On August 9, 1814, a British squadron of four warships attacked the small borough, which had only three cannons and about 20 militia. Over four days, the British lost 21 killed and 50 wounded while failing to take the town. It was one of the most lopsided American victories of the war.
Stonington Borough's old architecture survives largely intact today. The town still supports one of Connecticut's last remaining commercial fishing fleets.
Downspout offers pressure washing, roof cleaning, and gutter cleaning across Stonington. Homes throughout the borough and along the harbor deal with salt air and wind that wear on painted wood siding and roofing faster than an inland home would. Gutter systems on the older colonial and Federal-style homes have often been fixed and resized many times over the years. Downspout runs pressure washing and roof cleaning suited to Stonington's constant salt exposure. We also clean and repair the gutter systems common to the borough's historic homes.
Serving Stonington and Its Neighborhoods
Downspout works across Stonington, from the historic borough and harbor to the villages of Mystic, Old Mystic, and Pawcatuck. Whatever a home's distance from the water, regular gutter care and pressure washing help it hold up against Stonington's coastal climate.
