Gutters for the shrimping village on Jeremy Creek

McClellanville sits on Jeremy Creek, a tidal inlet at the northern end of Charleston County, with the Francis Marion National Forest behind it and the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge out front. It began as a summer retreat: planters A.J. McClellan and Richard Morrison II sold lots near the creek to Santee Delta families getting away from the fevers of the rice fields, and after the Civil War the village became the trading center for timber, naval stores and seafood. Shrimping, fishing and oystering carried it for generations. The McClellanville Historic District, listed on the National Register in 1982, takes in 105 contributing buildings put up from about 1860 to 1935 in Carpenter Gothic, Queen Anne and Italianate styles.

Gabe Gomez, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, owns The Brothers That Just Do Gutters Charleston and runs it from Mount Pleasant, a straight run up US 17 from the village. Here we clean and flush gutters, fix leaking joints, replace fascia that has gone soft, form new seamless runs at the curb and install BroGuard fine metal mesh. On the long porch roofs of the older houses, 6-inch gutters and a downspout at each corner handle a summer downpour without spilling onto the front steps. Every estimate is written and free.

The U.S. Climate Reference Network station a few miles northeast of the village has a NOAA 1991 to 2020 normal of about 55.6 inches a year, a few inches more than the Charleston airport records, and close to half of it falls June through September. Big live oaks and tall pines shade much of town, so gutters fill with leaves and straw in fall and with pollen and oak tassels in spring. Lots near the creek and the marsh sit low, and water that overruns a blocked gutter soaks the ground right at the foundation. Our maintenance program lines up cleanings with the fall and spring drops, and early summer is when you want the gutters clear.
