Gutter Installation, Cleaning & Repair in Elmwood, Berkeley, CA

Most owners choose a profile that follows the lines of the original trim, in painted aluminum or copper. We form each run as one seamless piece at the curb, cut to the exact length of the eave, and color match so the gutter does not fight the shingles. If the fascia behind the old gutter is soft, we replace it first. A free estimate gives you written options to compare.

It depends on the gutters and the wood behind them. Most Elmwood homes were built before 1940, and many still carry patched gutters over tired fascia. If the boards are sound and only a few joints leak, a repair is often enough. If the seams leak along the whole run and the trim is soft, a seamless replacement with new fascia is the better value.

Usually a leaking corner joint, a gutter that has lost its pitch or a downspout outlet that is clogged. Water then runs down the face of the shingles instead of into the downspout. We clean and flush the system, reseal or replace the corners, re-pitch the runs and check that every downspout carries water away from the wall.

Twice a year suits most homes, once in late fall before the storms and again in spring. Homes under large garden or street trees may need a third visit. Berkeley averages about 26 inches of rain a year, most of it from November through April, so a clean system before the first storm matters most. BroGuard micro-mesh cuts down the cleanings.
