Gutters for historic cottages at the harbor mouth
Sullivan’s Island guards the entrance to Charleston Harbor, with the Ben Sawyer Bridge to Mount Pleasant at one end and Breach Inlet and Isle of Palms at the other. On June 28, 1776, Patriot troops in a fort built of palmetto logs held off a British fleet here, and Fort Moultrie defended the harbor until it closed in the late 1940s. Moultrieville grew up beside the fort and was incorporated in 1817, and the trolley line built in 1898 left behind the numbered Station street names still used today. Most of the old houses are frame summer cottages set on brick or wood piers, and the Army’s two-story officers’ quarters still line I’on Avenue and Middle Street. When Hurricane Hugo’s eye passed directly over the island in 1989, more than eighty historic houses were lost.
Gabe Gomez, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, owns The Brothers That Just Do Gutters Charleston and runs it from Mount Pleasant, just across the Ben Sawyer Bridge. On the island we clean and flush gutters, replace salt-rusted hangers and screws, reseal split seams, swap soft fascia boards, form new seamless runs on site and install BroGuard fine metal mesh. On larger raised homes and the two-story officers’ quarters, 6-inch gutters sized with larger downspouts handle a summer thunderstorm that would overrun a 5-inch trough. Every estimate is written and free.
Charleston’s official NOAA station at the international airport records about 52.5 inches of rain a year in the 1991 to 2020 normals, and close to half falls June through September, right in hurricane season. Out at the harbor mouth, salt spray coats every gutter, hanger and fastener, blown sand drifts into the trough, and oaks drop leaves on the cottages tucked behind the dunes. Historic homes add one more thing to think about: the town has run a Design Review Board for its historic districts since 2003, so new gutters should suit the house they hang on. Our maintenance program gets the gutters checked before the storm months and again after, which matters when the house sits empty part of the year.

Posted on GoogleSullivan’s Island Gutter Questions, Answered
Salt spray from the ocean and the harbor reaches every part of the island. It goes after steel hangers, screws and scratched finishes first, so a gutter that still looks good can be held up by hardware that is nearly gone. Aluminum or copper gutters with corrosion-resistant fasteners last longest here, and a yearly look catches rusted hardware before a storm pulls the run down.
Yes. Many of the island’s older homes are frame cottages on brick or wood piers, and the fascia behind the gutters has often been repainted and patched for decades. We check every board, replace what will not hold, and form seamless runs on site to fit each eave. The town has a Design Review Board for its historic districts, so check with the town before changing the outside of a historic house.
Away from the piers, the stairs and anything stored underneath. On raised homes we plan where each downspout lands before we hang it, and we often pair 6-inch gutters with 3×4 downspouts on big roofs. Extensions or splash blocks can carry the water out to sandy ground where it soaks in.
In spring, before June 1. Have the troughs cleaned, downspouts flushed and any loose hangers or split seams fixed, because wind gets under a loose section and can peel it off along with the fascia. After any tropical storm, have the system looked at again. Our maintenance program books both visits.
Yes. Our crews cross the Ben Sawyer Bridge from Mount Pleasant and work every part of the island: the homes near Fort Moultrie, the officers’ quarters on I’on Avenue and Middle Street, the Station streets and the houses out toward Breach Inlet. The estimate is free and written, and one local team handles it start to finish.
