Gutters for University Park’s Victorian blocks
University Park runs from the Santa Monica Freeway down to Exposition Boulevard, between Vermont Avenue and the Harbor Freeway, with USC filling the south end. The residential blocks north of campus are some of the oldest in Los Angeles. North University Park was subdivided between 1885 and 1901, streetcars from downtown reached it in 1891, and its historic district, bounded by Adams Boulevard, Hoover Street, 28th Street and Magnolia Avenue, joined the National Register in 2004. The Menlo Avenue and West 29th Street district holds more than 50 homes from 1896 on, Victorian to Craftsman. In ZIP 90007, 35.0% of housing units date to 1939 or earlier, and about nine in ten households rent, which is why landlords with houses near campus are a big share of who we work for.
Two species share the top of the StreetsLA inventory for University Park: southern magnolia and camphor tree, with 212 each, followed by Indian laurel fig, jacaranda and Mexican fan palm. Magnolia leaves are thick and waxy and slide straight to the outlet, camphor drops small leaves and black berries, and ficus sheds a little every week of the year. The rain comes in a short season. NOAA’s Los Angeles Downtown USC station records 9.41 of its 14.25 normal inches between December and February. Tall Victorian roofs collect a lot of that water, and a blocked downspout can soak a porch or a wood sill in a single storm.
Robinson O’Brien-Bours owns The Brothers That Just Do Gutters Los Angeles, and our base on Highland Avenue in Hollywood is a straight drive southeast. In University Park and across Vermont in Adams-Normandie, our Solutionists form seamless gutters at the curb, clean and flush by hand, rebuild fascia and rafter tails on 1890s eaves, fit BroGuard mesh under magnolias and camphors, and connect downspouts to underground drainage where a porch or a narrow side yard leaves no safe outlet.

Year-round
Your University Park gutter calendar
The rain gauge named for the USC campus tells the same story every year: dry summers, then a short, heavy winter.
- Fall · Sep to NovPre-storm cleaning
Leaves and berries cleared, outlets opened and every downspout run with water before the first Pacific storm.
- Winter · Dec to FebWet months
Overflow and leak calls at porches and side yards, with the El Niño Advisory pointing to a stormier winter than most.
- Spring · Mar to MayBloom cleanup
Jacaranda bloom and fresh ficus litter removed, and mesh fitted where branches reach the eaves.
- Summer · Jun to AugBuild and replace
Summer is when we pull failing runs off old houses, repair the wood underneath and reroute downspouts.
El Niño 2026-27
Getting University Park gutters ready for El Niño
NOAA has an El Niño Advisory in effect for the 2026-27 winter. On University Park houses, the job is clearing leaves and berries out of the troughs and checking that each downspout empties away from porches, sills and foundations. Set up a pre-storm cleaning and downspout test while the weather is still dry.

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 GoogleUniversity Park Gutter Questions, Answered
Yes. Half-round copper suits many Queen Anne and Shingle houses here, while a painted K-style can disappear on a Craftsman, and we rebuild rotted fascia and rafter tails as part of the job. North University Park sits inside a National Register district, so check with City Planning about any local review that applies to your block first. Every estimate names the exact profile and finish.
Yes. They are the two most common street trees in University Park. Magnolia leaves are heavy and leathery, so rain does not wash them along, and they pile up at the outlet. Camphor drops small leaves and berries that settle into a dense layer. A fall cleaning, a spring follow-up and BroGuard mesh on the runs under the canopy keep both under control.
Yes. We schedule a time that works for you and the tenants, walk the whole house and any garage or back unit, and send one free written estimate. Most jobs need only outside access. Let the tenants know we will be on ladders, and we will leave the yard and walkways clean.
Often, yes. On many older houses, a downspout ends right beside the porch or empties under it, which keeps wood steps and sills wet all winter. We move the outlet, add extensions or splash blocks, or run an underground line to the street when the lot allows, and price each option in the estimate.
Yes, across ZIPs 90007 and 90089: North University Park, St. James Park, Chester Place, the Menlo Avenue blocks and the streets around Hoover Recreation Center, from the Santa Monica Freeway to Exposition, with Adams-Normandie across Vermont.
