Gutters for Firgrove’s South Hill subdivisions
Firgrove is one of the oldest names on South Hill. The Firgrove School District opened its school in 1930, when the hill was still small farms and timber, and joined the Puyallup School District in 1946. Today the name covers the neighborhoods west of Meridian Avenue East and around 136th Street East, near Ballou Junior High and the new Firgrove Elementary that opened in 2019. Most of the houses are subdivision homes from the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, with Douglas firs still standing along many streets.
That timing matters for gutters. Census estimates put the median home in ZIP 98373 at 1993, and 53 percent were built between 1980 and 2009, so a lot of original builder gutters are now 20 to 45 years old. Seams that held for years start to drip, hangers loosen and some roofs simply have too few downspouts. The nearest NOAA normals station, a couple of miles east, averages 45.13 inches of rain a year, more than downtown Tacoma. We replace soft fascia board as needed, then hang one-piece runs with enough downspouts to carry the roof.
The franchise is owned by Jamie and Zeke Edwards, husband and wife, who both grew up in the South Sound and still answer for every job. On South Hill around Firgrove our crew cleans gutters by hand, flushes downspouts, repairs or replaces aging systems and installs BroGuard micro-mesh where firs overhang the eaves. We also work across South Hill, over in Sunrise and down the hill in Puyallup, starting every job with a free written estimate.

Why the Brothers
Why Firgrove Homeowners Call the Brothers
Builder gutters age on a schedule. We check fasteners, seams and downspout count, then fix or replace what is worn out.
One continuous piece per side, formed in your driveway, takes the place of the seamed sections that leak first on Firgrove homes.
Firs between the lots shed needles most of the year. BroGuard and a steady cleaning schedule keep water heading to the downspouts.

Year-round
Your Firgrove gutter calendar
A year of gutter work on Firgrove rooflines, planned around fall needle drop and South Hill’s long wet season.
- Fall · Sep to NovFall needle and leaf clean
Needles and leaves pile up through October. We clear troughs and flush downspouts before November, which averages 7.06 inches nearby.
- Winter · Dec to FebWinter repairs
Cold, steady rain exposes dripping seams and loose hangers. We repair them and mark boards to replace in the dry months.
- Spring · Mar to MaySpring clean and guards
Spring pollen and cone drop refill the gutters, so it is a good time to clean again and add BroGuard on homes under firs.
- Summer · Jun to AugSeamless replacements
August averages under an inch of rain nearby, so summer is when we swap aging builder gutters for seamless runs.

What Homeowners Across the Region Say
“I had a great experience with The Brothers That Just Do Gutters on my Tacoma home. The crew were professional, communicative, and did outstanding work. The new gutters and gutter guards look great, everything was installed with attention to detail, and they left the job site spotless. 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.”
Posted on GoogleFirgrove Gutter Questions, Answered
If your home was built in the 1980s or 1990s, the original gutters are now 25 to 45 years old, past a normal service life. Dripping seams, runs pulling away from the fascia and water spilling over at the corners are the signs. We look at the whole system, replace any soft fascia and quote seamless replacement in writing.
Usually that run is carrying more roof than its downspout can handle, or the outlet is partly blocked with needles. On many South Hill homes a long eave drains to a single downspout. We clear the outlet, check the slope and, where needed, add a second downspout or a larger one so the water has somewhere to go.
Twice a year works for most Firgrove homes: late fall after the leaves and needles come down, and spring once the cones and pollen are done. If tall firs stand right over your roof, plan on a third visit or add BroGuard. Our maintenance program keeps those visits on the calendar for you.
Fine mesh does. Fir needles slide straight through coarse screens and foam inserts, but BroGuard’s stainless micro-mesh is fine enough to keep them on top, where rain and wind clear most of it. Under heavy trees you will still want a quick check about once a year.
Yes. Along with Firgrove we work across South Hill, in Sunrise and Silver Creek, and down in Puyallup itself. Call (253) 777-1572 or book online and our local team will set up a free written estimate at a time that suits you.
