What do homeowners ask about Gutters?
How much does new gutter installation cost?
Seamless 5-inch aluminum gutters run $8.50 to $12 per linear foot installed, including downspouts. A typical single-family home needs 150–220 linear feet of gutter, so $1,400–$2,600 typical total. Copper runs 2.5–3× that. Steel slightly above aluminum. Leaf guards add $4–$9 per linear foot.
Are leaf guards worth it?
Depends on your tree coverage. Heavy pine or eucalyptus within 30 feet of the house: yes. Minimal trees: probably not worth the upcharge. The best guards (reverse-curve like LeafGuard or high-end mesh like GutterGlove) work well. Cheap foam or plastic inserts don't.
What size gutter do I need?
5-inch K-style handles most single-family roofs in San Diego's rainfall pattern. 6-inch is needed for large roof areas (3,000+ sq ft), steep pitches, or multiple valleys draining into one gutter. We calculate drainage area during the estimate.
Why are my gutters leaking at the seams?
Sectional gutters (older style, joined with connectors) develop seam leaks as the sealant ages. Seamless gutters (made on site from a continuous aluminum coil) eliminate most seams. If your existing gutters are sectional and leaking at multiple seams, seamless replacement is cheaper long-term than sealing them every few years.
How long do aluminum gutters last?
20–30 years properly installed and maintained (cleaned annually). Coastal salt exposure shortens life; inland install with minimal tree debris runs the longer end. Copper lasts 50+ years. Steel about 25 years. Cheap vinyl gutters from big-box stores — 8–15 years.

Homeowners who hired us for this
Our 1990s Spanish tile roof was leaking in three spots. Instead of a full tear-off, Top Pro did a lift-and-relay with new underlayment and salvaged 90% of the original tiles. Crew was meticulous. Passed inspection on the first visit.
Got four quotes for a full tear-off and reroof. Top Pro was the only company that actually pulled up into the attic to check for rot before quoting. Found damage the others missed. Fair price. Crew was on time every day.
Live three blocks from the ocean. Salt killed our old shingle roof in 12 years. Top Pro installed stone-coated steel with stainless fasteners. Clean lines, clean job site, and they coordinated the HOA design review paperwork.
