Gutters, Skylights & Roof Inspections on a Berkeley Roof
The small work is what keeps a Berkeley roof out of expensive trouble. Gutters that actually move water away from the foundation, skylights that don't seep at the curb, and a documented annual inspection that catches a lifted shingle or a tired boot before it becomes a leak. We clear and repair gutters, reseal and reflash skylights, and hand you a written, photographed inspection report you can actually use.
On Berkeley roofs the conditions that matter most — Berkeley Hills are a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone — Class A roofing is mandatory. Afternoon winds from the bay can lift improperly fastened shingles. Significant earthquake activity means proper roof deck fastening is essential. — are what we plan the work around, not an afterthought.
- Gutter clearing, repair, and re-pitching
- Skylight resealing and curb reflashing
- Documented annual inspection with photos
- Small fixes before they become structural repairs
What Berkeley Roofs Are Up Against
Every roof in Berkeley answers to the same forces: a Mediterranean with strong afternoon winds, 25" annual rainfall, mild temps, and an aging housing stock dominated by Craftsman, Arts & Crafts, Victorian, UC campus-area mixed-use. The specific local stressors that decide how long a roof actually lasts here: Berkeley Hills are a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone — Class A roofing is mandatory. Afternoon winds from the bay can lift improperly fastened shingles. Significant earthquake activity means proper roof deck fastening is essential. We've spent enough time on Berkeley roofs to know which failure modes show up first, and we plan gutters, skylights & roof inspections around them rather than discovering them halfway through the job.
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.
