Gutter Installation, Cleaning & Repair in Sawtelle, CA

Sawtelle Gutter Solutionists

Gutters for Sawtelle’s apartments, condos and old bungalows

Sawtelle was its own town until Los Angeles annexed it in 1922, and the streets still show the layers. A few early bungalows still hold on along the side streets, apartment buildings went up north of Missouri Avenue in the 1940s, and later decades filled in with stucco walk-ups and condo buildings. In ZIP 90025 the median home was built in 1975 and only about 10 percent of housing units are detached houses. That means long runs on two- and three-story buildings, low-slope roofs, and downspouts that empty into carports, walkways and side yards shared with the building next door.

The trees here are bigger than the lots suggest. StreetsLA’s 2020 to 2021 inventory for the West Los Angeles Sawtelle council area lists London plane, African fern pine, jacaranda, southern magnolia and Indian laurel fig as the most common street trees. Plane leaves mat flat over a downspout opening, fern pine drops small fruit and needle-like leaves all year, and ficus berries turn sticky in a wet trough. Near the coast the rain is light, with NOAA’s Santa Monica Airport station averaging 13.45 inches a year, but about 11 of those inches fall between December and March, so a clog in January shows up fast as overflow on a stair or a parking area. A pre-season cleaning handles most of it.
