Ojus is one of the older corners of northeast Miami-Dade, and Southern Gutters FL cleans, repairs, replaces and storm-repairs gutters throughout it. The unincorporated community of about 19,670 sits between I-95 and Aventura, roughly 35 minutes and 22 miles south of our North Lauderdale base. What sets Ojus apart is moisture: the Oleta River drains its east side, so gutters grow algae and wood fascia rarely dries out.
Gutter services for Ojus homes near Oleta River State Park
From routine cleanouts to replacing a storm-damaged run, these are the services Ojus owners and associations call us for most. Every new system is seamless aluminum rolled on site, with stainless-steel hardware suited to air that is both humid and salty.
Mangrove humidity, older fascia and a river once called Big Snake Creek
Albert Fitch named Ojus in 1897, borrowing a Seminole word for plenty, and by then pineapple and vegetable farms lined the riverbank. The river itself was Big Snake Creek until 1922, when it became the Oleta; long before that it was a main route for the Tequesta. Today its lower reach is protected as Oleta River State Park, Florida's largest urban park.
The town that grew from those farms incorporated and dissolved several times between 1926 and 1935, and the 1926 hurricane wrecked the Fulford–Miami Speedway in what is now Sky Lake. Today Ojus spans about 3.16 square miles, roughly 16 percent of it water, on ground that runs from sea level to about 12 feet, which leaves roof water few places to go once it hits the yard.
That water shapes the houses. Older homes here often still have wood fascia behind their gutters, and in mangrove-zone humidity the board never fully dries. Algae and mildew grow inside gutters that hold even a little water, outlets clog with slimy leaf mats, and the outside face streaks black within a season or two.

Condo buildings toward the river mouth and the bay add salt to the mix, so plain-steel fasteners rust and stain the trim. Standing water in sagging gutters also breeds mosquitoes, a real concern this close to the marsh.
Ojus streets and condos we cover along the Oleta River
We serve single-family homes across Ojus, including the Sky Lake neighborhood and the streets around Greynolds Park, plus the condominium buildings toward the Oleta River on the east side. Ojus visits often pair with work in neighboring Aventura and Ives Estates, so crews are regularly on this side of I-95.
Addresses here split across four ZIP codes, 33160, 33163, 33179 and 33180, which confuses some owners when they book; we go by the street, not the ZIP. The jobs that come up most:
- Algae and leaf-mat cleanouts on gutters that never fully dry between storms.
- Fascia replacement behind older sectional gutters, followed by a seamless run.
- Swapping rust-stained fasteners on low- and mid-rise condo buildings.
- Make-safe work and re-hanging after tropical storms drive wind in from Biscayne Bay.
Homes bordering wooded Greynolds Park, a 1936 Civilian Conservation Corps project, catch more leaf litter than most and often do best on a shorter cleaning cycle.

From North Lauderdale our crew heads south on I-95 and exits east at Ives Dairy Road or Miami Gardens Drive to reach Ojus between the highway and Aventura.

How do Ojus visits work during hurricane season on Biscayne Bay?
Outside storm season, a visit is straightforward: we inspect the fascia by hand, clean and flush every run and downspout, and point out mildew and rust spots before they spread. Condo work is scheduled through the association with a certificate of insurance on file.
After a hurricane or strong tropical storm, Ojus is exposed to wind off Biscayne Bay, and bent or hanging gutters are common. We make a loose run safe and then document damage with photos you can use for an insurance claim, with same-day service when the schedule allows. Repairs and replacements follow Miami-Dade's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone practices for attachment.


Common questions from Ojus homeowners
Why do gutters in Ojus turn black and grow algae so quickly?
Ojus sits beside the Oleta River and mangrove shoreline, so moisture stays high almost year-round. Any water left in a gutter grows algae, and mildew forms on the outside face. Keeping gutters pitched correctly and cleaned on schedule removes the standing water, and gutter whitening takes care of the black streaks.
Can you repair gutters in Ojus right after a hurricane?
Yes, when the schedule allows we offer same-day make-safe visits after storms, starting with gutters that are hanging or blocking doors and walkways. We photograph the damage for your insurance claim and then quote a permanent repair or replacement. Our hurricane damage first 48 hours guide covers what to do before we arrive.
Which Ojus neighborhoods and ZIP codes do you serve?
All of Ojus, from the Broward County line south to North Miami Beach and from I-95 east to Aventura. That includes Sky Lake, the streets around Greynolds Park and the river blocks, whether your mail says 33160, 33163, 33179 or 33180. A 2018 vote to form a new city narrowly failed, so permits for larger jobs here still go through Miami-Dade County.
