Murrieta, CA
Gutter replacement in Murrieta
A roof that drains badly rots at the edges first — fascia, soffit, then the ends of the rafters. All of it cheaper to prevent than to replace.

Before you let anybody on the roof
The things worth pinning down on a gutters job. A contractor who has not raised them has not looked properly.
- Gutter size against the roof area draining into it
- Seamless or sectional, and what gauge of aluminium
- Condition of the fascia behind the old gutter
- Where the water is discharged, and how far from the foundation
- Number and position of downspouts
Downspouts are where most systems actually fail — too few of them, or discharging straight against the foundation.
Slope should be about a quarter inch per ten feet toward the outlet. Too little and it stands, too much and it looks wrong from the street.
Seamless aluminium formed on site is the default. Sectional gutter from a box store is cheaper and leaks at every joint within a few years.
Locally
Close behind that: morning fog that sits on the roof until mid-morning. Slopes that never get direct sun stay wet for hours after the fog burns off, and that is where moss, lifted shingles and soft decking start.
About gutters here
What if the decking is rotten underneath?
Expect a few sheets on most older roofs. Get the per-sheet rate in the contract. Open-ended decking charges are where a fixed price stops being fixed.
Do I have to hire anyone?
Not at all. Plenty of people use this to find out what a job costs and then do nothing for a year. That is a perfectly reasonable outcome.
Is this really free?
Yes. You pay nothing, now or later. Roofing contractors pay us for the introduction, which is why the service costs you nothing and why we are upfront that it is how we make money.
How many contractors will contact me?
No more than three. We picked that number because two quotes is not enough to spot an outlier and five is an ordeal.
