Gutter Installation, Cleaning & Repair in East Hollywood, CA

East Hollywood Gutter Solutionists

Gutters for East Hollywood bungalows and walk-ups

East Hollywood voted to join Los Angeles in 1910, Pacific Electric streetcars arrived in 1911, and the grid between Hollywood Boulevard and the 101 filled in over the decades that followed. Some early pockets are still intact. The Melrose Hill historic zone off Hobart Boulevard and Marathon Street keeps 45 homes built between 1911 and 1926, many of them California and Craftsman bungalows. Census data for ZIP 90029 shows a third of all housing units built in 1939 or earlier, and most of the rest went up before 1980. Close to nine in ten households there rent, so many of our calls come from owners and managers looking after a duplex or a small building.

Palms rule the street canopy. The StreetsLA inventory counts 911 Mexican fan palms on East Hollywood streets, more than any other species, followed by crape myrtle, jacaranda and queen palm, with southern magnolia and camphor close behind. Up on Olive Hill, Barnsdall Art Park covers 11.5 acres, with an olive grove and rows of pine and eucalyptus around Frank Lloyd Wright’s Hollyhock House. Together that sends fronds, palm seed, blossoms, waxy magnolia leaves and olives onto nearby roofs. The ground here is mostly flat, so the job comes down to rain: 9.41 of the 14.25 inches in a normal downtown year fall from December through February, and a clogged outlet spills right beside a walkway or a neighbor’s wall.

Robinson O’Brien-Bours owns The Brothers That Just Do Gutters Los Angeles, and our base on Highland Avenue in Hollywood is a short drive west. In East Hollywood and up the hill in Los Feliz, our Solutionists form seamless gutters right at the curb, clean and flush by hand, repair worn runs and fascia, fit BroGuard mesh where palms and magnolias overhang, and run downspouts into underground drainage when a narrow side yard has nowhere else to send the water.
