Gutters for big roofs on the marsh

Hobcaw is the stretch of Mount Pleasant along Hobcaw Creek and the Wando River, home to neighborhoods like Hobcaw Point and Hobcaw Creek Plantation. Long before the houses, Paul Pritchard ran one of South Carolina’s largest shipyards of the Revolutionary era on Hobcaw Creek, and the site is on the National Register of Historic Places. In the two census block groups that cover the area, 92.9 percent of homes are detached houses, 93.9 percent are lived in by their owners and 75.6 percent were built in 1990 or later, many of them large two-story homes on marsh and creek lots.

Gabe Gomez, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, owns The Brothers That Just Do Gutters Charleston and runs it from Mount Pleasant, so Hobcaw is close to home. Here we replace original gutters on homes from the late 1980s and 1990s, upsize runs on tall rooflines, form copper and aluminum on the truck, use corrosion resistant hangers near the marsh and fit BroGuard under the live oaks. Every visit starts with a walk around the house and a free written estimate.

Many Hobcaw homes are now 30 years old with their first gutters still up. Those runs were often 5-inch gutters on roofs with steep pitches, several valleys and two full stories, and they overflow at the inside corners every summer storm. Salt air off the marsh is hard on steel fasteners and painted finishes, and live oaks over the lots fill gutters with leaves in spring. A tall roof also means a ladder on soft marsh ground, which is a job for a crew that does it daily.
