Posted on Google“I had the Brothers Gutters put new gutters on my 26×108 ft building. They not only gave me the best price but their customer service was outstanding. They were on time with the appointment and finished in 2 hours. I would highly recommend them when doing your gutter repair or primary install.”
Posted on Google“At the start, Zeke was willing to work with my schedule, and they were prompt and on time. They worked with me, giving me options on the locations and directions of the downspouts, explaining the pros and cons of each option. Their pricing was very competitive… I highly recommend their services, even if it is not the lowest price. You won’t regret it.”

Roofline Lab
What South Sound weather does to a roofline.
Pick a season and fly the roofline with us. About 40 inches of rain a year lands on South Sound homes, and almost none of it falls evenly. This is what your gutters are up against, and what changes when the debris cannot get in.
- Typical fall rain
- ~11 in
- What lands up there
- Big-leaf maple and alder leaves, then the first fir needles
- What our crews see
- Clogged outlets before the first real storm. This is when we book the most cleanings.
- Typical winter rain
- ~16 in
- What lands up there
- Fir needles, grit off the shingles, wet moss
- What our crews see
- Standing water and sagging hangers where last fall never got cleaned out.
- Typical spring rain
- ~10 in
- What lands up there
- Seed pods, blossom litter, roof grit and pollen
- What our crews see
- Fine debris turning to sludge at the outlets once the winter load breaks down.
- Typical summer rain
- ~3 in
- What lands up there
- Dry needles, dust, the occasional nest
- What our crews see
- The dry months are the best window to fix pitch, seams and hangers before fall.
Season totals are typical averages for the South Sound. Your street, your trees and your roof pitch decide the rest. Call (253) 777-1572 and a local crew will look at yours.

Water damage in the South Sound
The most expensive thing on your house is the part nobody looks at
Gutters are not decoration. They are the drainage system that decides whether 40 inches of rain a year leaves your roof and goes to the street, or runs down your siding and sits against your foundation. When a gutter in Tacoma stops moving water, the damage does not announce itself. It starts behind the fascia, under the first course of siding, and in the soil at the corner of the house.

Where the water actually goes
Tap a point on the wall section.
01
Fascia and soffit
the board the gutter is screwed to
Water backs up behind a packed trough and sits against the fascia board. That board is wood, it is painted on one side only, and it is the thing holding your gutter to the house.
The tell. Paint blistering under the gutter line, or a gutter that has started to pull away at one end.
02
Siding and paint
the wall below the overflow
Overflow does not fall clear of the house. It sheets down the wall, gets behind the siding at the laps, and stays there long enough to swell the board and lift the paint.
The tell. A vertical stripe of clean or discolored siding under one section of gutter.
03
Foundation and crawlspace
the soil at the base of the wall
A downspout exists to carry water away from the house. When the trough above it is blocked, that water lands at the base of the wall instead, and saturated soil moves.
The tell. Soil dug out below the roofline, a downspout that stays dry in rain, or a damp crawlspace.
04
Behind finished walls
the inside face of the same wall
By the time water shows up on a wall inside, it has usually been arriving for two or three seasons. This is the point where a gutter problem becomes a drywall and framing problem.
The tell. A musty smell in one room, or a stain that keeps coming back after you paint over it.
When the water arrives in Tacoma
40 inches a year, and almost none of it evenly.

Season totals are typical averages for the South Sound. Your street, your trees and your roof pitch decide the rest.
Usually covered
A pipe that bursts tonight. A storm that tears a section off. Something sudden, accidental and datable.
Usually not covered
A gutter that has been overflowing onto the same corner of your foundation for three winters. Insurers call that gradual, or a maintenance failure, and gradual does not get paid.
What actually prevents it
How often should gutters be cleaned in Tacoma?
For most Tacoma homes, twice a year, with the heavier visit booked before the first sustained fall rain. Homes under fir and cedar need more than that, because needles pack tighter than leaves and do not wash through.
Do gutter guards actually stop water damage?
Guards do not stop water. They stop the debris that stops water. BroGuard uses fine metal mesh, sized for needle drop rather than leaf fall, which keeps the trough clear so the system can do the job it was sized for. That is what protects the fascia, the siding and the foundation.
Is it worth replacing gutters instead of repairing them?
If the runs are sagging, seam-split or undersized for the roof, repairs buy a season. Seamless gutters are formed on site to the exact length of your roofline, so there are no factory seams in the middle of a run to split later. We will tell you honestly which one your house needs.
How do I know if my gutters are already failing?
Look for staining down the fascia, water marks on the siding under a joint, soil that has been dug out below the roofline, and a downspout that stays dry during rain. Any one of those means water is leaving the system somewhere it should not.
A gutter check costs nothing. The other thing costs $13,954.
We will look at your roofline, tell you what it needs in writing, and leave. Serving Tacoma, University Place, Puyallup, Federal Way and Bonney Lake and the surrounding areas.
