Gutters for Mid-Wilshire’s 1920s tracts
Mid-Wilshire, as the Los Angeles Times Mapping L.A. project draws it, runs from Third Street and Wilshire Boulevard down to Pico, between Fairfax Avenue and Crenshaw Boulevard. The houses south of Wilshire came in tract by tract. Oxford Square was laid out in 1910 along Victoria Avenue and South Windsor Boulevard, and the city adopted its Historic Preservation Overlay Zone in 2017. Sales in the Wilshire Vista tract began in 1922 on 85 acres of rolling ground, and Wilshire Vista West joined the National Register of Historic Places in 2020. In ZIP 90019, 45.0% of housing units were built in 1939 or earlier and the median year built is 1945. About three in four households rent, so plenty of our calls come from landlords as well as owner-occupants.
Parkway trees set the cleaning schedule. The StreetsLA inventory for Mid-Wilshire counts 947 London planes, more than any other species, followed by jacaranda, southern magnolia and Indian laurel fig, with Canary Island date palms and queen palms scattered through. Plane leaves are as wide as a hand, and they settle flat over an outlet in late fall; magnolias shed tough leaves all year and jacarandas drop purple bloom in late spring. Then the rain arrives in a hurry. NOAA’s Downtown USC normals put 9.41 inches in December through February alone, close to two thirds of the 14.25 inch annual total. On Wilshire Vista’s sloped lots, a gutter that spills sends water toward the next house down.
Robinson O’Brien-Bours owns The Brothers That Just Do Gutters Los Angeles, and our base on Highland Avenue in Hollywood sits a short drive north. In Mid-Wilshire and next door in the Miracle Mile, our Solutionists form seamless gutters in the driveway, hand-clean and flush every outlet, rebuild tired fascia on 1920s eaves, fit BroGuard mesh under plane trees and magnolias, and send downspouts into underground drainage where a side yard slopes back toward the house.

Why the Brothers
Why Mid-Wilshire Homeowners Call the Brothers
Two-unit and four-unit buildings get one plan for gutters and downspouts so neither household ends up with water at the door.
In Oxford Square and Wilshire Vista we choose profiles and colors that look right on a house built before 1930.

Getting Mid-Wilshire gutters ready for El Niño
NOAA has an El Niño Advisory in effect for the 2026-27 winter. On Mid-Wilshire homes, the first job is getting the fall plane leaves out of the troughs and making sure each downspout carries water well past the foundation. Schedule a pre-storm cleaning and downspout test before December.

What Los Angeles Homeowners Say
“I hired The Brothers That Just Do Gutters to install some gutters above my driveway. The installer was Emiliano. He did an amazing job, didn’t take too much time, was very professional, and charged a fair price. I would highly recommend this company and installer to anyone.”
Posted on Google“Brothers Gutters were amazing. Their quoting and invoicing system was super easy to work with. Hannah and Rhys who did the back end and quote were super responsive. They gave us a really fair price and got the job done a few days later. Really top quality service and work!!”
Posted on Google“We had been looking for someone to install our gutters for quite some time and thought a handyman would be less expensive and more reliable. Were we wrong…”
Posted on GoogleMid-Wilshire Gutter Questions, Answered
They are the main reason Mid-Wilshire gutters clog. London plane is the most common street tree in the neighborhood, and its leaves are broad and stiff, so a few of them can cover an outlet completely. The trees also drop fuzzy seed balls that break apart in the trough. A cleaning after the leaves come down in November, followed by BroGuard micro-mesh on the runs under the canopy, keeps the system open through winter.
In most cases, yes. Copper half-round or a colored aluminum K-style profile usually suits a 1910s or 1920s house, and we swap out any rotted fascia first. Because the city adopted the Oxford Square HPOZ in 2017, exterior changes there can need a review, so a quick call to City Planning before work starts is smart. We put the exact profile, metal and color on the estimate for that conversation.
Yes. We walk both units, the garage and any shared driveway, then write one free estimate for the full building. On many Mid-Wilshire duplexes the downspouts from both sides empty onto the same strip of concrete, so we plan where that water ends up as part of the job. Let your tenants know we will be on ladders that morning.
Downhill and away from the house, and never toward the neighbor below. Wilshire Vista was sold as high, rolling ground, and on a lot that falls toward the back or the side, roof water follows the grade. Depending on the yard, that means a longer extension, a splash block that turns the flow, or a buried pipe out to the curb, and the estimate prices each one.
Yes, across ZIPs 90019 and 90036: Wilshire Vista, Oxford Square, Sycamore Square and the blocks around Los Angeles High School and Queen Anne Recreation Center, from Fairfax to Crenshaw, plus the Miracle Mile next door. Phone (213) 205-6598 or book online and we will set up a free written estimate.
