Gutter service for Highland Park Craftsmans and Arroyo hillsides

Highland Park was one of the first subdivisions of Los Angeles, laid out in 1886 and annexed to the city in 1895, and it still has the housing to prove it. This was an Arts and Crafts enclave in the early 1900s, and the Craftsman and Victorian stock that survived is protected today in the Highland Park and Garvanza preservation overlay. Beautiful homes. Also homes running gutter systems that were designed for a different century and, in plenty of cases, have never been properly resized.

The other half of the neighborhood is vertical. The streets climbing Mount Washington and Montecito Heights have long roof faces, deep valleys and mature sycamore and oak dropping into the trough all year, and a single undersized downspout that discharges at the top of a slope. Below them the Arroyo Seco takes everything the hillsides shed. We form seamless aluminum on-site, size the downspouts to the actual roof, and route the discharge past the foundation.

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 sends the overflow down the wall and into the soil at the uphill corner of the house, which on a century-old foundation is exactly the wrong place for it. We fix where the water goes, not just the trough it came out of.
