Gutters and drainage in Tustin
If you are re-roofing anyway, gutters are the one add-on that is genuinely cheaper done at the same time.

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.
- Number and position of downspouts
- 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
Check the fascia before the gutter goes back up. Hanging new metal off soft wood buys you a year.
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.
Downspouts are where most systems actually fail — too few of them, or discharging straight against the foundation.
Locally
Behind it: morning fog that sits on the roof until mid-morning. It is why two identical houses on the same street can be ten years apart on the same roof, depending on which way they face.
About gutters here
What should I do to prepare?
Move the cars out, take pictures off the top-floor walls, cover anything stored in the attic, and put pets somewhere else for the loud days. Expect nails in the driveway however careful the crew is — ask whether they run a magnet at the end.
Why three quotes and not one?
Because one price tells you nothing. Three tells you where the middle is, and the outliers are informative in both directions — the very cheapest is usually leaving something out, and the most expensive should be able to say what you are getting for it.
How long does a re-roof take?
A straightforward asphalt roof on an average house is one to three days. Tile, slate and complex rooflines take longer, and weather stops work more often than anything else.
Do you cover the whole Orange County area?
