Gutters, Skylights & Roof Inspections on a Palo Alto Roof
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.

What Palo Alto Roofs Are Up Against
Every roof in Palo Alto answers to the same forces: a Mediterranean, mild year-round, 15" annual rainfall, moderate summer fog, and an aging housing stock dominated by Eichler (flat-roof mid-century modern), Craftsman, ranch, tech-campus commercial. The specific local stressors that decide how long a roof actually lasts here: 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. We've spent enough time on Palo Alto 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 Palo Alto — FAQs
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.
