The gutter partner for property managers, contractors and HOAs in the Tri-Valley and East Bay

General contractors, builders and remodelers

You need a gutter crew that fits your sequence and doesn’t hold up final. We walk the job with you, either from plans or once the roof and fascia are on, and hang gutters after the roof edge is finished and the trim is painted. Every run is formed on-site in aluminum, copper or bonderized steel, in a color that matches the finished trim. We size each system to the roof it serves, and on bigger roof planes that often means stepping up from 5 inch to 6 inch gutters. If your landscape plan calls for it, we place downspouts so they can tie into underground gutter drainage instead of dumping at the foundation. You get one written price per job, a call before we arrive, and photos when we finish.

Property managers and multi-unit owners

• A separate written scope for each address, so every owner sees exactly what their property needs and what it costs.
• An honest repair or replace call on each run. A sagging section with good metal gets rehung, not replaced.
• Visits scheduled through you, so tenants get notice the way you prefer to give it.
• Photos and short notes per address: what we cleaned, what we fixed, and anything we saw starting to go, like soft fascia or a loose downspout.
• Recurring visits through our gutter maintenance program, so cleanings happen on time without you tracking every property.
• A straight answer on whether guards will cut your cleaning costs on a given building, or whether they won’t.

HOA boards and community managers

Boards need one document they can vote on, a vendor who works around residents, and a finished community that looks consistent. We walk the community and write a scope organized building by building, so the board can approve it all at once or phase it over more than one season. When runs need replacing, we can match the existing profile and color with colored aluminum gutters, so new sections don’t stand out against the old. When we finish, the community manager gets a summary for the board, plus notes and photos by building, including any repairs we recommend for a later budget.

Realtors and home inspectors

Gutters show up on a lot of inspection reports here: overflowing troughs, downspouts that drain at the foundation, sagging runs, stained or soft fascia. On a listing or in escrow, the job is to turn that line item into a clear number and get it closed out before it becomes a negotiation.

1. Send us the callout.Forward the gutter section of the report, or just the address and what the inspector flagged.
2. Get a written estimate.We look at the actual condition and write up what it needs, which is often a cleaning or a repair, not a full replacement.
3. Close it out with photos.We schedule around the escrow timeline and send photos of the finished work for the buyer, the seller and your file.

Roofers, painters, restoration and insurance contractors

On a reroof, we coordinate so the old gutters come off before tear-off and the new ones go up once the new roof edge is in, so they sit right against the new work. If the roof is clay or concrete tile, we work from ladders and stay off it, which is how we handle tile roofs on every job. For painters, rotted wood gets fixed before the paint goes on: we replace damaged fascia board, you paint, and we hang the gutters after. For restoration and storm claims, we photograph the damage and what caused it, whether that is a fallen oak limb, an overflowing run or a downspout that let go, then itemize the repair in writing so the adjuster can follow it line by line. Finished photos close out the file.

Side by side: what you get and how we report back

Property types and the gutter scope they usually need

Every property gets its own walkthrough and written scope, but these are the patterns we see most often by property type.

Hillside lots: fire season and storm season on the same roofline

On wooded lots near Mount Diablo, a gutter full of dry oak leaves and pine needles is a problem twice a year: once when the Diablo winds blow embers in the fall, and again when the first heavy rain hits a plugged downspout. That is why we recommend metal gutters and non-combustible BroGuard mesh on these homes, and why our gutter fire hardening work matters to the agents and contractors who serve the hills. Our post on fire season, Diablo winds and your gutters is a good one to pass along to owners.

Older housing: sizing and fascia

On older homes, especially closer in toward Berkeley, Albany and El Cerrito, the original gutters are often too small for real Bay Area storm loads, and years of overflow have let water get behind the fascia. A remodel, a sale or a storm repair is the right time to fix both. We replace soft wood first, then size the new system to the roof, and our post on 5 inch versus 6 inch gutters for Tri-Valley storms explains why the bigger profile is often the better call.

What a partner job looks like start to finish

1. You call our local line.Tell us the address or the list of properties, who the owner or board is, and any deadline you are working against, like a close of escrow or a community calendar.
2. We walk the property.We look at every run, downspout, hanger and the fascia behind them, and note roof type, tree cover and access.
3. You get a written scope.Free, itemized and organized the way you need it: by address, by building or by claim line.
4. You approve and we schedule.Approve it yourself or forward it to the owner, board or adjuster, then we set dates around your build, your tenants or your residents.
5. We do the work.Seamless runs formed on our truck, troughs cleared by hand, debris hauled off and every downspout flush-tested.
6. We close it out.You get finished photos, notes on anything we saw that should go on a future budget, and a bill that matches the approved scope.
