Gutter Installation & Repair
Professional gutter services that protect your foundation, landscaping, and home from water damage.
Why Your Home Needs Quality Gutters
Gutters might not be the most exciting part of your home, but they're one of the most important. Without properly functioning gutters, rainwater pours off your roof and pools around your foundation, seeps into your basement, erodes your landscaping, and causes staining on your siding. Over time, this water damage can cost you tens of thousands of dollars in foundation repairs, basement waterproofing, and landscape restoration.
Quality gutters channel all that water away from your home's foundation and direct it to proper drainage areas. They protect your investment and prevent the kind of water damage that leads to mold, structural issues, and expensive repairs. At CVR Castro Valley Roof Solutions, we provide complete gutter services for Castro Valley homes and businesses, from new installations to repairs and maintenance.
We understand that gutters work as part of your complete roofing system. That's why we approach gutter work with the same attention to detail and commitment to quality that we bring to all our roofing services. Whether you need new gutters installed, existing gutters repaired, or regular cleaning and maintenance, we have the expertise to keep water flowing where it should and away from your building.
Complete Gutter Services
We provide every gutter service your property might need:
- New gutter installation: We install seamless aluminum gutters custom-fabricated on-site to fit your home perfectly, plus copper gutters and vinyl systems based on your preferences and budget.
- Gutter repairs: We fix leaks, reattach loose gutters, replace damaged sections, and repair or replace broken downspouts and elbows.
- Gutter cleaning: We remove leaves, debris, and buildup from gutters and downspouts so water flows freely. This prevents overflow and damage.
- Downspout installation: We add or relocate downspouts to improve drainage and direct water away from problem areas.
- Gutter guard installation: We install various types of gutter protection systems that keep debris out while allowing water to flow through.
- Fascia board repair: Before installing new gutters, we repair or replace damaged fascia boards that support the gutter system.
- Splash blocks and extensions: We install downspout extensions and splash blocks to ensure water is directed far enough away from your foundation.
- Pitch corrections: We adjust gutter slope to eliminate standing water and ensure proper drainage toward downspouts.
Because gutters work with your roof to protect your home, we often handle gutter work as part of larger roofing projects. Our roof replacement services frequently include new gutter installation, and our maintenance programs include gutter cleaning and inspections.
Gutter Types and Materials
We install and work with all common gutter types and materials. Here's what you need to know about your options:
Seamless Aluminum Gutters
These are the most popular choice for residential properties. We fabricate seamless aluminum gutters on-site using our specialized equipment, creating continuous runs with no seams except at corners and downspouts. This eliminates the most common source of leaks. Aluminum gutters are lightweight, rust-proof, and come in many colors to match your home. They offer excellent value and typically last 20-30 years with proper care.
Copper Gutters
For high-end homes or historic properties, copper gutters provide unmatched beauty and durability. Copper develops a distinctive patina over time and can last 50-100 years. While copper is more expensive than aluminum, it's an investment in your home's appearance and value. Copper gutters are often used on premium homes, historic restorations, and architecturally significant buildings.
Vinyl Gutters
Vinyl is the most budget-friendly gutter option and works well for simple installations. Vinyl gutters won't rust or corrode, but they can become brittle in extreme cold and aren't as durable as metal options. They're best suited for mild climates and straightforward roof configurations.
Gutter Sizes and Styles
We install both K-style (the most common profile) and half-round gutters in various sizes. Most residential homes use 5-inch or 6-inch gutters, with 6-inch becoming more popular for better water handling capacity. We'll help you choose the right size based on your roof area, pitch, and local rainfall patterns.
Signs You Need Gutter Repair or Replacement
Watch for these warning signs that indicate your gutters need attention:
- Water overflowing during rain instead of flowing through downspouts
- Gutters pulling away from the house or sagging
- Visible cracks, holes, or rust spots in gutter sections
- Water stains or mildew on siding near gutters
- Pooling water around your foundation after rain
- Erosion or channels in landscaping below gutter lines
- Paint peeling near gutters from water exposure
- Standing water in gutters days after rain
Don't ignore gutter problems. The longer you wait, the more damage can occur to your home's foundation, siding, and landscaping. If you notice any of these signs, contact us for an inspection. We'll assess your gutters and recommend whether repair or replacement is the best solution. Sometimes gutter problems are actually caused by roof issues, so our roof repair expertise ensures we identify and fix the root cause.
