Gutters for the homes beside Point Defiance Park
The Point Defiance neighborhood fills the north end of Tacoma between Ruston and the park entrance at 5400 North Pearl Street. Tacoma residents won public use of the point in 1888, and in 1905 the city received full title to the land that became Point Defiance Park. The houses that grew up south of it span a century: prewar homes on the older blocks, postwar ramblers on North Defiance and North Bristol streets, and newer infill mixed in between.
What ties them together is the forest next door. About 400 acres of the park are old growth, with Douglas firs some 450 years old, and plenty of big firs and maples stand in yards and along the streets nearby. Needles, cones and leaves land in gutters every month of the year, and NOAA counts about 168 days with measurable rain at the closest station on the Narrows. Debris that sits wet in a trough holds water against the boards, which is how fascia starts to go. We replace soft fascia board wood before anything else, then form seamless runs that give debris fewer places to catch.
This franchise belongs to Jamie and Zeke Edwards, a married couple who grew up in the South Sound and run it day to day. In Point Defiance our crew clears gutters by hand, flushes every downspout, repairs or replaces worn runs and installs BroGuard micro-mesh under the fir canopy. We also work across the North End, next door in Ruston and around the Proctor District, and each visit begins with a free written estimate.

Why the Brothers
Why Point Defiance Homeowners Call the Brothers
Homes beside an old-growth park get debris most of the year. We plan cleanings and guards around your actual canopy.
Seamless runs formed on-site have no inside joints where needles catch, which keeps water moving on a Point Defiance roof.
Coarse screens let fir needles through. BroGuard’s fine mesh keeps them on top, where rain and wind clear most of them.
Jamie and Zeke Edwards, husband and wife, run this franchise themselves. Call (253) 777-1572 for a free written estimate in Point Defiance.
Year-round
Your Point Defiance gutter calendar
A year of gutter care for Point Defiance homes, built around the fir drop and the November storms.
- Fall · Sep to NovFall leaf and needle clean
Maples let go in October on top of the steady fir drop. We clear troughs and downspouts ahead of November’s heavy rain.
- Winter · Dec to FebStorm checks and repairs
Winter storms find every weak hanger. We fix leaks, re-secure runs and flag fascia boards to replace once things dry out.
- Spring · Mar to MayCone season clean-out
Spring brings cones, pollen and catkins. It is a smart time to fit BroGuard on homes closest to the park’s tall timber.
- Summer · Jun to AugReplacements and fascia
Summer is the dry stretch, with July near two-thirds of an inch at the Narrows station, so we schedule new gutters then.

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 GooglePoint Defiance Gutter Questions, Answered
Homes this close to the park’s fir forest usually need two to three cleanings a year: one after the October leaf drop, one in late winter and sometimes one in spring when the cones come down. Needles fall in every season here, so a single annual clean rarely keeps up. Our maintenance program schedules the visits for you.
Fir needles are small enough to wash down the outlet and lock together inside the elbow, where you cannot see them from the ground. Once that plug forms, water backs up and spills over the front of the gutter. We flush and test every downspout on each visit and clear the elbows by hand when they are packed.
If the joints leak, the run sags or the fascia behind it is soft, replacement usually costs less over time than repeated patching. About a quarter of the homes in ZIP 98407 were built before 1940, and many still carry sectional gutters. We check the wood, replace what is rotten and form new seamless runs on-site, all quoted in writing first.
Yes, for most homes. BroGuard uses fine stainless mesh, so fir and cedar needles stay on the surface instead of slipping into the trough the way they do with coarse screens. Under the heaviest cover a little debris can sit on top, so we recommend a quick yearly check, but the gutters below stay open.
Yes. Besides Point Defiance we work in Ruston, around the Proctor District and Old Town, and throughout Tacoma’s North End. Call (253) 777-1572 or book online and a member of our local crew will set up a free written estimate.
