Gutters for Thousand Oaks’ century-old hillside homes

Thousand Oaks climbs from Solano Avenue toward the Kensington line at the north edge of Berkeley. Before it had houses it was a favorite spot for picnics, known for its rock outcrops and old oaks. John Hopkins Spring subdivided it in 1909, and landscape engineer Mark Daniels laid out winding roads that follow the hillside, with about 20 large urns set along the streets and paths. Buyers hired their own architects, so the houses vary from lot to lot. The area joined Berkeley in 1920. In the two census tracts that cover it, 73 percent of homes were built in 1939 or earlier. The NOAA station on the UC Berkeley campus, about a mile and a half to the southeast, averages 26.12 inches of rain a year.

The Brothers That Just Do Gutters San Ramon is a family business owned by Mohammad Awadalla and Syed Rizwan, and our crews come to north Berkeley from our Livermore base. Our crews form seamless gutters on-site from aluminum, copper or galvalume, in 5, 6 or 7 inch profiles to suit the roof, clean every run and flush the downspouts, repair leaks, sags and rotted fascia, fit BroGuard stainless micro-mesh, and put in underground drainage where roof water needs to go somewhere better.

A house built before 1940 has been through more than 85 rainy seasons, and in Thousand Oaks that means a lot of rain. The wood fascia behind the gutter is often original, and the hangers have been re-nailed into it so many times there is little left to hold. Oaks and other big trees drop leaves on roofs that are hard to reach from a ladder on a sloped lot. Then the water has to go somewhere: on a hillside street with rock in the yards, a downspout aimed the wrong way sends runoff into the neighbor’s lot or under the house.
