Lincoln Heights Gutter Solutionists

Gutters for the first suburb of Los Angeles

Lincoln Heights was subdivided in 1873 as East Los Angeles, the city’s first suburban neighborhood, and residents voted for the Lincoln Heights name in 1917, the same year the old Eastlake Park became Lincoln Park. A good share of that early housing is still here. A house on Griffin Avenue dates to 1887, the Lemberger-Sigler Residence on Manitou Avenue to 1897, and the Church of the Epiphany on Altura Street to 1883. Census figures for ZIP 90031 show 43.4 percent of homes built in 1939 or earlier, with a median build year of 1948. On houses that old, the wood behind the gutter is usually the first thing we look at.

Two things decide how gutters behave here. One is the street trees: the StreetsLA inventory counts Mexican fan palms as the most common in Lincoln Heights, followed by Indian laurel fig, London plane and jacaranda. Palms shed fronds and fruit stalks, plane trees drop broad leaves every fall, and jacaranda covers roofs in purple blossoms in late spring. The other is the hillside blocks. CAL FIRE’s 2025 map rates the area around Lincoln High, Gates Street, Manitou Avenue, Altura Street and Avenue 35 Very High, and under the California WUI Code section 504.4, in effect since Jan 1, 2026, buildings in Fire Hazard Severity Zones need noncombustible gutters.

Robinson O’Brien-Bours owns and runs The Brothers That Just Do Gutters Los Angeles. Across Lincoln Heights and neighboring Montecito Heights, our local crew rolls out seamless gutters from the machine on the truck, clears palm and fig litter by hand, rebuilds rotted fascia on Victorian eaves, fits BroGuard micro-mesh on the hillside homes, and sets downspouts so winter water heads for the street instead of pooling against old foundations. Before the 2026 to 2027 storms, our El Niño prep guide covers what to check first. Licensed in California under contractor license 1140218.
