How we handle gutters, skylights & roof inspections in Sunnyvale

The small work is what keeps a Sunnyvale 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 Sunnyvale roofs the conditions that matter most — South Bay heat accelerates shingle aging. High UV exposure in this sunnier inland location. Many homeowners combining reroofing with solar panel installation. — 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 depending on climate zone and slope. We spec compliant materials when needed.

Ponding on flat roofs

Eichler and other flat roofs pond water if the slope or drains are off, which shortens membrane life.

Permits for gutters, skylights & roof inspections in Sunnyvale

Sunnyvale requires a reroof permit before the old roof comes off and inspects the work while it is in progress, not only at the end. We pull the permit with the city, keep the roof ready for the in-progress inspection and book the final.

Gutters, Skylights & Roof Inspections in Sunnyvale: FAQs

Do I need a permit to reroof in Sunnyvale?

Yes. Sunnyvale wants the reroof permit in place before tear-off and inspects the job partway through as well as at the end. We pull the permit and schedule both inspections.

Do you work on Eichler roofs in Sunnyvale?

Yes. Eichler roofs are flat or low-slope and need a membrane system with attention to drainage, edges and insulation. We explain the options after the inspection.

How often should I have my Sunnyvale roof inspected?

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