Old Village Gutter Solutionists

Gutters for Mount Pleasant’s oldest neighborhood

The Old Village was once the whole town of Mount Pleasant. The town was formed in 1837 by joining several colonial-era villages, took its name from Jacob Motte’s plantation and was laid out by James Hibben. The Hibben House on Hibben Street, built in 1755 by Jacob Motte, is the oldest home in the neighborhood. The Mount Pleasant Historic District, added to the National Register in 1973, covers about 61.6 acres between Charleston Harbor and Shem Creek, with buildings from the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries. At the end of Pitt Street, Pickett Bridge Recreation Area sits on the old causeway where a trolley once carried riders toward the beach.

Gabe Gomez, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, owns The Brothers That Just Do Gutters Charleston and runs it from Mount Pleasant, so the Old Village is close to home for our crews. Here we clean and flush gutters, reseal leaking joints, replace fascia and rafter tails that have softened, form seamless runs on the truck and install BroGuard fine metal mesh. On the larger homes with tall rooflines and porches, 6-inch gutters and an extra downspout or two keep a summer downpour off the porch steps and out of the garden beds. Every estimate is written and free.

The NOAA station on Sullivan’s Island, a short way across the water, has a 1991 to 2020 normal of about 51.6 inches of rain a year, and the Charleston airport inland records about 52.5. Towering live oaks line the Old Village streets, so gutters here catch leaves and acorns, then oak tassels and pine pollen in spring. Salt air off the harbor and steady humidity keep fascia damp, and wood behind a leaking gutter softens faster than it would inland. Our maintenance program sets cleanings after the two debris drops, and the spring visit is the one to keep before the storm months.
