Gutters for James Island’s live oaks, marsh lots and ranch streets
James Island sits between the Ashley River, the Stono River and Charleston Harbor, with Wappoo Creek on its north side and tidal marsh threading through much of it. Fort Johnson, at the island’s eastern tip, is where the signal shot that opened the attack on Fort Sumter was fired in 1861, and McLeod Plantation still stands off Folly Road. Today the island is a mix of the Town of James Island, City of Charleston neighborhoods and unincorporated county land, much of it built out as ranch and split-level homes after the war, with raised homes and newer builds along the marsh.
The Brothers That Just Do Gutters Charleston is owned by Gabe Gomez, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, and runs from Mount Pleasant, with crews on James Island across the harbor every week. We clean and flush gutters, repair leaking seams and loose hangers, form new runs on site, replace soft fascia and install BroGuard fine metal mesh. For low-pitch ranch roofs that dump water in a hurry, 6-inch gutters often handle a downpour better than the originals did. Every estimate is free and written.
Charleston International Airport averages about 52.5 inches of rain a year, and close to half of it falls June through September in afternoon thunderstorms. On James Island that rain lands on low ground and marsh edges where water has little room to go, under live oaks and pines that shed all year. Pine straw, oak leaves, catkins and spring pollen pack the trough, and the next storm overruns it. Our maintenance program keeps the gutters clear going into the wet summer months, so spring is the time to start.

They do. Much of James Island is shaded by pines and live oaks, and between pine straw, oak leaves, catkins and spring pollen, gutters fill almost year round. Wet pine needles mat together and plug downspouts. BroGuard fine metal mesh keeps that debris on the surface, where it dries and blows off, and a cleaning after the spring pollen handles the rest.
Yes. Many older James Island homes have fascia boards that have been painted and patched for decades. We check the fascia first and replace any soft boards, then form seamless runs on site to the exact length of each eave. On low-pitch roofs that shed water fast, a 6-inch gutter is often the better fit for a summer downpour.
Twice a year suits most James Island homes: once after the spring pollen and oak catkins drop, and again in fall. Houses right under pines or big live oaks may need more. If you would rather not track it, our maintenance program puts you on a schedule and we come out at the right times.
Book a cleaning and downspout flush in late spring, have loose hangers and leaking seams fixed, and make sure every downspout empties well away from the house. On James Island, where yards sit low and close to the marsh, underground drainage can carry roof water off to a spot where it can soak in instead of pooling at the foundation.
Yes. Our crews work the live oak streets of Riverland Terrace, the neighborhoods along Folly Road and Harbor View Road, and out toward Fort Johnson and Secessionville. Wherever you are on the island, the estimate is free and written, and the same local team handles the job from the first visit to the final flush test.
