Gutters for Alderton’s valley farms and newer homes
Alderton is a farm community in the Puyallup River valley, named for a grove of alders on Orson Annis’s homestead and given its own post office in 1878. Fields still line the river, but the north end near Sumner, around State Route 162 and 74th Street East, has filled in with newer houses. In ZIP 98390 a little over a third of homes went up in 2000 or later, while about one in eight predates 1940, so a single drive can pass an old farmhouse, a 1990s two-story and a brand new build.
The valley floor sits about 79 feet above sea level and the ground is flat, so water that leaves a downspout tends to pool beside the house unless something carries it off. The nearest NOAA gauge averages just over 45 inches of rain a year, with about 7 inches in November alone. Alders, black cottonwoods and bigleaf maples along the river drop catkins, fluff and broad leaves, and the firs around older places add needles all year. We size gutters and downspouts for that load and send the water into extensions or underground drain lines that move it well clear of the foundation.

Why the Brothers
Why Alderton Homeowners Call the Brothers
Valley lots do not shed water on their own. We plan where every downspout empties so rain ends up away from the house, not pooled beside it.
Alders, cottonwoods and maples near the Puyallup River drop debris in spring and fall. Our cleanings and BroGuard installs are timed to both.
Early farmhouses and brand new builds sit side by side here. Every roofline gets its own measurements, and each run is formed in the driveway to match it.

Year-round
Your Alderton gutter calendar
How our crew keeps Alderton gutters ready across the year, timed to the river trees and the wet months.
- Fall · Sep to NovLeaf drop clean-out
Bigleaf maple and cottonwood leaves come down in October, so we clear troughs and flush downspouts ahead of November’s 7 inches of rain.
- Winter · Dec to MarHigh-water checks
Long wet stretches keep valley ground soaked. We fix overflow and loose joints and make sure downspouts are not adding water beside the foundation.
- Spring · Apr to JunCatkin and fluff clean-up
Alder catkins and cottonwood seed fluff mat into gutters as the trees leaf out, so spring is the second cleaning for most Alderton homes.
- Summer · Jul to AugNew runs and fascia
July and August each average under an inch of rain at the nearest gauge, which makes this the window for replacements and fascia work.

Highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality work and great service.”
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.”

Alderton sits on flat valley ground, so water from a short downspout often has nowhere to run and collects right at the foundation. We extend downspouts, add splash protection or tie them into underground drain lines that carry the water to a better spot. You get the plan and the cost in writing before any work begins.
Mostly river trees. Alders drop catkins in early spring, black cottonwoods release seed fluff that mats into a wet felt, and bigleaf maples fill troughs with big leaves in October. Firs add needles all year. Homes in Alderton under those trees usually need cleanings in both spring and fall.
Yes. We form seamless runs on-site, so a long outbuilding roof gets one continuous piece instead of a string of joints that leak. We size the gutter and downspouts to the roof area and plan where the water goes, which matters on farm ground where it can soften a driveway or yard.
If your roof sits under alders, cottonwoods or maples, it usually is. BroGuard is stainless micro-mesh, fine enough to stop catkins, seed fluff and leaf bits while letting heavy rain through. It cuts down how often the troughs fill, though we still recommend a yearly check so the mesh surface stays clear.
Yes. The same local crew serves Alderton, Sumner, Puyallup and communities across the South Sound. Phone (253) 777-1572 or request a visit online, let us know whether it is the house, a barn or both, and we will schedule a free written estimate at a time that suits you.
