Gutters, Skylights & Roof Inspections in Berkeley: FAQs

How often should I have my Berkeley roof inspected?

Once a year, plus after any major Berkeley storm. An annual inspection is the cheapest thing you can do to keep a roof on the long end of its lifespan — most of what we find at that stage is a minor fix instead of a five-figure one.

Do you repair skylights, or just roofs?

Both. Most Berkeley skylight leaks aren't the glass — they're the curb flashing and seal around it, which is roofing work. We reseal and reflash; if the unit itself is failed we'll tell you.

Can you fix gutters without replacing them?

Often, yes. Re-pitching, resealing joints, and rehanging a sagging section solves most Berkeley gutter problems. We replace only when the metal itself is shot.
