How we handle gutters, skylights & roof inspections in Palo Alto
The small work is what keeps a Palo Alto 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 Palo Alto roofs the conditions that matter most — Eichler flat roofs are prone to pooling and membrane failure as they age. Radiant heat panels in many Eichler ceilings require careful teardown. University Avenue area experiences wind channeling effects. — 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

Trees

Gutters, Skylights & Roof Inspections in Palo Alto: FAQs
Do you reroof Eichler homes in Palo Alto?
Yes. Eichler roofs are flat or low-slope, so they need a membrane system, sound drainage and attention to insulation and edge details. We explain the options in writing after the inspection.
Do I need a permit to reroof in Palo Alto?
Yes. A reroof needs a building permit from the City of Palo Alto, and historic properties may need additional review. We handle the permit and inspections.
How often should I have my Palo Alto roof inspected?
Once a year, plus after any major Palo Alto 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 Palo Alto 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 Palo Alto gutter problems. We replace only when the metal itself is shot.
