Montecito Heights Gutter Solutionists

Gutters for the hills above the Arroyo Seco

Montecito Heights climbs the Monterey Hills east of the Arroyo Seco, and Griffin Avenue is about the only through street that makes it across. Los Angeles annexed the hills in 1912, but the terrain kept building slow. Older Craftsman houses, many with river rock porches and chimneys, sit lower down near Avenue 43 and Homer Street, while most of the hillside homes on Montecito Drive and the streets above came after the 1950s, once builders could engineer for the slopes. Heritage Square, with its relocated Victorian houses, has been down by the Arroyo since 1969. Up top, Ernest E. Debs Regional Park covers 282 acres of California walnut and oak woodland, with the Audubon Center at its edge.

That park and the open hillsides around it are why we treat Montecito Heights as a fire-and-rain neighborhood. CAL FIRE’s 2025 map rates Montecito Drive, Griffin Avenue and Debs Park Very High, and since Jan 1, 2026 the California WUI Code section 504.4 has required noncombustible gutters on buildings in Fire Hazard Severity Zones. Eucalyptus and California pepper trees on the slopes drop strips of bark, leaves and seed into gutters all year. Then the rain, about 14 inches a year at the downtown NOAA station a few miles away, comes in a handful of winter storms, and water from a clogged gutter heads straight down the hill.

Robinson O’Brien-Bours owns The Brothers That Just Do Gutters Los Angeles and runs it locally. In Montecito Heights and nearby El Sereno, our crews form metal gutters on-site, clean by hand, repair sagging runs on split-level houses, install non-combustible BroGuard mesh, handle fire-hardening gutter work and connect downspouts to underground drainage where a slope cannot take more water.
