Old Palo Alto Gutter Solutionists
Gutters for Old Palo Alto’s older homes and big street trees
Old Palo Alto sits between Alma Street, Embarcadero Road, Middlefield Road and Oregon Expressway, a short walk from the Caltrain station, California Avenue and downtown. Wide streets lined with mature trees, the Gamble Garden on Embarcadero and Waverley, Bowden Park on Alma and Castilleja School give it its character. The housing is old and almost all single-family: in Census Tract 5114, which covers the neighborhood, 87 percent of homes are detached houses, 44 percent were built before 1940 and the median home dates to 1944. The Palo Alto station averages 15.12 inches of rain a year, almost all of it between November and April.
Eric Dodge’s Brothers That Just Do Gutters Sunnyvale runs crews up and down the Peninsula on a regular schedule, and Old Palo Alto is on the route. We hand-clean troughs and flush every downspout, form seamless aluminum and copper on-site, fix loose hangers, leaking seams and rotted fascia on older homes, fit BroGuard stainless micro-mesh under street trees, and keep homes on a pre-storm maintenance program. Insured, licensed (CA #1123680) and holding a 5-star Google rating.
On older homes the gutter is part of the trim. We match profiles and colors to the house, offer copper where it suits the architecture, replace soft fascia before the new runs go up and keep every downspout pointed away from the foundation and the garden beds.

Most owners choose a profile that follows the lines of the original trim, in painted aluminum or copper. We form each run as one seamless piece at the curb, cut to the exact length of the eave, and color match so the gutter does not fight the paint scheme. If the fascia behind the old gutter is soft, we replace it first. A free estimate gives you written options to compare.
Twice a year suits most homes, once in late fall before the storms and again in spring. Homes under the neighborhood’s biggest street trees can need a third visit. Palo Alto averages about 15 inches of rain, most of it between November and April, so a clear system before the first storm matters most. BroGuard micro-mesh cuts down the cleanings.
Yes. We form copper gutters on site and pair them with copper downspouts and hangers, which suits many of the older homes here. Copper weathers to a brown and then green patina over the years. We show you copper and painted aluminum side by side in the written estimate so you can compare looks and price.
We can move downspouts, add extensions or connect them to an underground drain line that carries roof water away from the foundation, walks and planting beds. We look at where the water goes today during the walkthrough and give you the options in writing.
Yes. We work across Old Palo Alto, Crescent Park and Professorville, plus the rest of Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Atherton, Los Altos and Mountain View. Call (650) 600-0598 to set up a free written estimate.
