Gutter service for Eagle Rock hillsides and Craftsman blocks

Eagle Rock is old Los Angeles housing stock sitting against a brush hillside, which is a particular combination. The neighborhood takes its name from the sandstone formation at the top of Figueroa Street, and it runs from Glendale on the north and west across to Pasadena on the east, with Highland Park and Glassell Park below it. The homes are Craftsman, Mission Revival, Georgian, Art Deco and Streamline Moderne, most of them a century old or close to it, and a lot of them are still carrying gutters that were never sized for the roof above them.

The hillside streets are the ones that get us called. They back onto the San Rafael Hills, so the roofs take oak and sycamore litter all year and dry brush and ember debris when the wind turns, and the runs are long with a single undersized downspout dumping at the base of a slope. We form seamless aluminum on-site, size the downspouts to the actual roof, and route the water out past the foundation instead of letting it run back at the house.

When rain comes here it comes hard and short, and on a hillside street that matters more than the seasonal total. A backed-up run on a slope sends the overflow straight down the wall and into the soil at the uphill corner of the house, which is the last place you want it. We size the downspouts to the actual roof and route the discharge out past the foundation so the water leaves instead of soaking in at the wall.
