Gutters for Fairfax’s 1920s and 1930s multi-family blocks

Fairfax is a neighborhood of shared walls and short lots. The Beverly Fairfax Historic District, the blocks east of Fairfax Avenue from Beverly Boulevard north and out to Gardner Street, holds 463 buildings, and 97 percent of them are multi-family homes, most of them two stories. They went up mainly between 1924 and 1949 in Spanish Colonial Revival, Tudor, Chateauesque and Streamline Moderne dress. Many have parapet roofs that empty through scuppers, so a lot of our work on Spaulding, Orange Grove and Ogden is short seamless runs over entries, clear downspout paths and water steered off stucco and out of narrow side yards.

Street trees bring the debris. StreetsLA’s 2021 inventory for the Mid City West council area, which takes in Fairfax, lists queen palm, southern magnolia, Indian laurel fig, jacaranda and London plane as the most common species. Palm fruit, leathery magnolia leaves and sticky ficus berries are what we pull out of Fairfax gutters most often. Rain is light most of the year, but NOAA’s Downtown USC station averages 14.25 inches, and about 11.6 of those inches fall from December through March. When a packed scupper or downspout backs up in a winter storm, the water lands in a courtyard, against a wall or across a shared driveway, which is why we push for a fall cleaning before the first big system.

The Brothers That Just Do Gutters Los Angeles is owned by Robinson O’Brien-Bours, and our Solutionists work the streets around Pan Pacific Park, the Farmers Market and Canter’s on Fairfax Avenue. We form seamless gutters on-site in colors that sit quietly against historic stucco, fix leaking seams and loose hangers, and add BroGuard micro-mesh under palms and ficus. Owners of multi-unit buildings can put every unit on one cleaning schedule. We work under California contractor license 1140218 and are licensed, bonded and insured.
