Gutter service for the Eichler ridge above Crystal Springs
The Highlands sits on a ridge west of San Mateo, bounded by I-280, Highway 92, Polhemus Road and Crystal Springs Road. Joseph Eichler built most of it between 1955 and 1964, and with roughly 650 of his homes it is often called the largest Eichler neighborhood anywhere. Census figures put 84% of the housing here in the 1950s and 1960s. Those post-and-beam homes have flat or low-pitched roofs with deep overhangs, so water leaves the edge slowly and leaf litter has time to settle. Across I-280 lies the Crystal Springs watershed, and a NOAA station on this ridge averages close to 26 inches of rain a year, most of it from November through March.
Eric Dodge’s Brothers That Just Do Gutters Sunnyvale covers the Highlands as part of our regular San Mateo routes. We clean and flush gutters and downspouts by hand, form seamless aluminum on-site, repair loose hangers, leaking corners and water-damaged fascia, set gutters to suit low-slope and flat Eichler rooflines, install BroGuard stainless micro-mesh and keep homes on a maintenance program ahead of the storms. We are licensed and insured under CA license #1123680 and rated 5 stars on Google.

Why the Brothers
Why Highlands Homeowners Call the Brothers
Flat and low-pitched Eichler roofs push water off slowly, so we set the gutter and outlets to catch that slow sheet of runoff instead of letting it soak the fascia.
We form slim, seamless runs on-site and pick colors that suit post-and-beam design, so the gutter reads as part of the house.
Decades of overflow can soften the beams and fascia boards along Eichler edges, and we repair that wood before new gutters go back up.
The Highlands gets more rain than the flats near the bay, so we size downspouts for it and flush every one before we leave.

What Peninsula Homeowners Say
“The Brothers were great to work with. Quick response, easy scheduling, flexible accommodation of our requests. Front man Max and get ’er done Robert both knew their stuff. They also didn’t hesitate to come back immediately for some touchups even after they had my money. I can only wish more places were like Brothers.”

Most benefit from them. Flat and low-pitched Eichler roofs send water off the edge slowly and along the full length of the overhang, so it drips onto walkways, soaks the fascia and splashes against glass walls. A seamless gutter sized for that slow sheet of water carries it to a downspout instead. We look at each roofline before we recommend anything.
Twice a year suits most homes here, once in fall before the first storms and again in spring. Low-slope roofs hold debris longer than steep ones, so homes with oak or bay nearby may need a third visit. Rain on this ridge averages close to 26 inches a year, so a blocked outlet shows up fast. BroGuard mesh cuts the work down to quick checks.
Yes. When a gutter has overflowed for years, the fascia and the exposed beam ends behind it can soften and rot. We check that wood during the estimate, replace damaged fascia board before the new gutter goes up, and note anything structural for you to have looked at. Fixing the wood first means the new gutter has something solid to hold onto.
We do. The Highlands is on the same San Mateo routes as Baywood Park, Hillsborough and Foster City, and our Sunnyvale crews cover the Peninsula up into San Francisco. The same local team answers (650) 600-0598, and every estimate is free and written so you can compare it on your own time.
For many homes, yes. Grass and brush across I-280 dry out each summer, and brush fires have broken out along the freeway near Highway 92. BroGuard is stainless steel micro-mesh, so it does not burn, and it keeps dry leaves out of the trough where embers could land. It also keeps the gutter flowing through winter storms.
