Gutters for postwar cottages under 107 live oaks
Byrnes Downs sits off Savannah Highway in West Ashley, about two miles from downtown Charleston. Its cottages were first built as rentals for Charleston Naval Shipyard workers and many were sold to veterans after World War II. The Byrnes Downs Garden Club, founded in 1948, planted 107 live oaks along the streets, and the 8.8 mile West Ashley Greenway runs through the neighborhood. In its census block group, 74.3 percent of homes are detached houses, 70.4 percent are lived in by their owners and 55.9 percent were built before 1960.
Gabe Gomez, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, owns The Brothers That Just Do Gutters Charleston and runs it from Mount Pleasant, and West Ashley is part of our regular route. In Byrnes Downs we replace worn gutters, form seamless runs on the truck, tie additions and screened porches into the system, replace soft fascia and fit BroGuard under the live oaks the garden club planted. Every visit starts with a walk around the house and a free written estimate.
The original cottages had two or three bedrooms, and many have since grown with rear additions, raised rooflines and screened porches. Each addition is another roof that has to drain somewhere, and too often it drains onto the old one through a patch. The live oaks that make these streets so pretty now hang over nearly every roof, and they drop old leaves every spring. Low rooflines also mean gutters sit right at eye level, so they need to look clean and straight.

Why the Brothers
Why Byrnes Downs Homeowners Call the Brothers
Rear additions and porches get properly pitched runs that drain on their own, not a patch onto the old roof.
On 1940s and 1950s houses we probe the wood behind the gutter and replace soft boards before new runs go up.
The garden club oaks shade nearly every roof. BroGuard keeps low gutters open between cleanings.

It can be. When an addition sheds water onto the original roof, that section carries far more than it was built for, and the gutter below it overflows. Leaks often show up where the two roofs meet. We give the addition its own pitched run and downspout, or tie it into the main gutter properly, so each roof drains on its own.
Two to four times a year. The live oaks along these streets drop old leaves every spring, and that is the cleaning that matters most here. A fall visit keeps the gutters open for the cooler months. Homes right under a big oak may need a third visit, or BroGuard to cut down on cleanings.
Start with the fascia. On houses this age the wood behind the gutter has often softened, and hangers pull loose no matter how good the gutter is. We probe the boards on the walkthrough and replace the soft ones. Then we look at where each downspout empties, because many still drain right against the crawl space.
Yes. Low rooflines put the gutter at eye level, so it has to look straight and clean. We form seamless runs on site in colors that match your trim, with no seams along the front. Half-round is also an option if you want a more traditional look on an older cottage.
Yes. We work around the trees, not through them. Ladders go where they will not damage roots or limbs, and we do not cut branches. If a limb is resting on your roof or gutter, we will point it out so you can have an arborist look at it.
