How we handle gutters, skylights & roof inspections in San Jose

The small work is what keeps a San Jose 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 San Jose roofs the conditions that matter most — Hot South Bay summers (95–105°F peak) degrade asphalt shingles faster. Occasional hail from spring storms can cause impact damage. Seismically active region along the Calaveras and Hayward faults. — 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

Local conditions that shape the work

Cool-roof rules

Title 24 can require cool-roof rated products on some reroofs here, depending on climate zone and slope. We spec compliant materials when it applies.

Solar on the roof

Plenty of San Jose roofs carry solar panels, which have to be removed and reset around a reroof. We plan for it in the estimate.

Permits for gutters, skylights & roof inspections in San Jose

Reroof permits in San Jose are issued by Planning, Building & Code Enforcement, and older homes on the city's historic inventory can need planning clearance first. We pull the reroof permit with the city and handle the inspections.

Gutters, Skylights & Roof Inspections in San Jose: FAQs

Is a cool roof required for my reroof?

It depends on the climate zone, roof slope and how much of the roof is replaced. When Title 24 requires a cool-roof rated product we spec one; when it does not, we can still recommend one for comfort.

Do I need a permit to replace my roof in San Jose?

For a full reroof, yes. San Jose permits reroofs through Planning, Building & Code Enforcement, and homes on the historic inventory may need planning clearance first. We handle the permit and inspections and include them in the estimate.

How often should I have my San Jose roof inspected?

Once a year, plus after any major San Jose 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 San Jose 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 San Jose gutter problems. We replace only when the metal itself is shot.
