Steel Lake Gutter Solutionists
Gutters for the homes around Steel Lake
Steel Lake is the east side of Federal Way that grew up around a 46-acre lake named for Arthur Steele, one of the homesteaders who reached the area in the 1870s. Steel Lake Park fills the south shore with a swim beach and boat ramp off South 312th Street, Truman High School sits on 28th Avenue South, and the streets climb north past Wildwood Elementary toward South 300th. Most houses here came in one long wave: in ZIP 98003 the median home was built in 1984, and about 43 percent went up between 1970 and 1989.
That means a lot of original gutters are reaching the end of their life at the same time. We see seams that drip at every corner, hangers that have pulled loose from the fascia and five-inch troughs that cannot keep up when Douglas firs, western red cedars and bigleaf maples drop into them all fall. Steel Lake drains a 254-acre watershed, so the roof water from these neighborhoods ends up in the lake one way or another. Sending it through clean gutters and sound downspouts keeps it off your foundation, and our downspout drainage guide walks through the options.
Jamie and Zeke Edwards, a married couple who grew up in the South Sound, own The Brothers That Just Do Gutters Tacoma. Around Steel Lake our local crew clears needles and leaves by hand, forms new seamless runs in your driveway, repairs the joints that leak, replaces rotted fascia and installs BroGuard stainless micro-mesh under the tallest trees. We work across Federal Way and over in Mirror Lake, always starting with a free written estimate.

Why the Brothers
Why Steel Lake Homeowners Call the Brothers
Most Steel Lake homes went up between 1970 and 1989, and so did their gutters. We tell you plainly whether a repair or a new run makes sense.
Every roof here drains toward the lake. Our crew makes sure that water leaves through sound downspouts, not over the fascia or into the crawlspace.
BroGuard fine mesh and properly sized downspouts keep needles and cones from turning into clogs under the big trees around the park.

Year-round
Your Steel Lake gutter calendar
A year of gutter work around Steel Lake, timed to the needle drop and the Federal Way wet season.
- Fall · Sep to NovBefore the rains
Needles and maple leaves come down as the storms start, so we empty troughs and flush downspouts early, ahead of the wettest weeks.
- Winter · Dec to FebOverflow fixes
Steady rain shows which seams and hangers have failed. We repair drips, re-pitch sagging runs and clear outlets between storm systems.
- Spring · Mar to MaySecond clean-out
Cones, catkins and moss bits washed off the roof all winter get cleared, and homes that clogged twice are good candidates for BroGuard.
- Summer · Jun to AugReplacement season
Dry months are the time to swap original gutters for seamless runs and replace soft fascia before the next fall comes around.

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 how many joints are failing. If one corner drips, a repair is usually enough. If seams leak all the way around and hangers are pulling out, which is common on Steel Lake homes from the 1970s and 1980s, seamless replacement tends to cost less over time. We show you both options in writing.
For most houses here, two visits a year do the job: late fall, then spring. Houses under the Douglas firs and cedars around the park can need a third visit because needles keep falling through winter. BroGuard micro-mesh cuts that down, and our maintenance program keeps the visits on the calendar.
The lake drains about 254 acres of the surrounding area, so storm runoff from these streets heads that way. Gutters and downspouts that work properly send it into the proper drainage instead of across your yard, into a crawlspace or down the side of the house. Clean troughs also keep shredded leaves from washing out with it.
Yes. On older homes the hangers often loosen because the fascia behind them has gone soft. We check the wood first, replace any rotted boards and then rehang or replace the gutter so it holds its pitch. Fixing only the hanger on bad wood just means another visit next winter.
Yes. Our crew covers Steel Lake, Mirror Lake and the rest of Federal Way, plus neighboring Des Moines and Kent. We put every estimate in writing at no cost. Give us a call at (253) 777-1572 or use the online form to describe what your gutters do in heavy rain.
