Gutters for Manitou’s older South Tacoma homes
Manitou is the South Tacoma neighborhood around Manitou Park and Manitou Park Elementary on S 66th Street, near American Lake Boulevard. Back in 1921 Manitou Park covered 10 acres split three ways: a free tourist campground, a picnic ground for local families, and lawns under shade trees. Today Parks Tacoma calls it the forested park, and the streets around it mix older houses with mid-century ramblers and newer infill.
Those older rooflines are where the gutter work comes from. In the census tract around Manitou, about 30 percent of homes were built before 1950 and nearly 8 in 10 are single-family houses, so plenty of fascia boards and gutters here have seen many wet winters. With about 41 inches of rain a year at the Tacoma No. 1 NOAA station, one clogged outlet means overflow at the corner of the house. We replace soft fascia board first, then hang one-piece runs with outlets sized for the roof above them.
Jamie and Zeke Edwards own The Brothers That Just Do Gutters Tacoma together as husband and wife, and both were raised in the South Sound. Around Manitou our crew hand-cleans gutters, clears downspouts down to the drain line, repairs or replaces worn systems and installs BroGuard micro-mesh where firs and maples hang over the eaves. We also work across South Tacoma, over in University Place and up the hill in Fircrest, and every job starts with a free written estimate.

Why the Brothers
Why Manitou Homeowners Call the Brothers
Older South Tacoma houses often hide soft fascia behind the gutter. We check it first, then size the trough and outlets to the roof.
A seamless run formed in your driveway spans a long eave without the joints that start most leaks.
Firs and maples around Manitou shed most of the year. BroGuard and a set schedule keep the outlets flowing.

Year-round
Your Manitou gutter calendar
A year of gutter work on Manitou rooflines, timed to the leaf drop and the long South Sound wet season.
- Fall · Sep to NovLeaf drop and outlet check
Maples drop in October. We clear the troughs and test every outlet before November, which averages 6.50 inches nearby.
- Winter · Dec to FebOverflow fixes
Winter rain shows where a gutter overflows. We fix leaks, reset hangers and note fascia to replace in summer.
- Spring · Mar to MaySpring clean and mesh
Catkins, cones and winter grit come out, and it is a good time to add BroGuard where the trees refilled the gutters fast.
- Summer · Jun to AugFascia and new runs
July averages 0.55 inches at the Tacoma No. 1 station, so summer is when we replace fascia and install new seamless systems.

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.

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.”

It depends on what we find. About 30 percent of homes in the census tract around Manitou were built before 1950, and older gutters tend to leak at the joints, pull loose at the hangers and sit on soft fascia. If the trouble is a few joints, we repair them. If the runs have lost their pitch or the fascia behind them is rotting, a seamless replacement is the better buy. You get the answer in writing either way.
Yes. Tacoma’s stormwater manual allows downspouts to drain onto splash blocks or into dispersion trenches, with limits on distance to property lines and slopes and on how much roof one splash block can serve. On most lots we extend downspouts away from the foundation or run an underground drain line, and we tell you when the city’s rules point to a different route.
Two cleanings a year handles most homes, one after the maples drop in fall and one in late winter or spring. Homes under tall firs or near the park often need a third visit. The Tacoma No. 1 station averages about 41 inches of rain a year, with November the wettest month, so a clogged outlet shows up fast. Our maintenance program books those visits for you.
Even trimmed yards collect needles and leaves blowing in from the park and neighbors’ trees. BroGuard’s fine stainless mesh keeps that debris on top, where wind and rain move most of it off, while water passes through. If your roof only sees light debris, a cleaning schedule may be enough, and we will tell you so.
Yes. Besides Manitou, we work across South Tacoma, University Place, Fircrest and the rest of the city. Call (253) 777-1572 or book online and our local crew will set up a free written estimate.
