The Details That Protect the Whole Roof
Gutters, skylights, and regular inspections may not be the first thing you think about when you think “roofing,” but they’re among the most important factors in how long your roof lasts and how well it performs. Alpha Eagle Roofing handles all three.
Gutter Services
Gutters that are clogged, damaged, improperly pitched, or undersized funnel water into fascia boards, foundations, and basement walls. We offer:
- Gutter installation: Seamless aluminum gutters fabricated on-site to your exact measurements, in a range of colors
- Gutter repair: Reseal joints, realign pitch, replace sagging sections
- Gutter cleaning: Cleared of debris, downspouts flushed, flow verified
- Gutter guard installation: Micro-mesh guards that dramatically reduce cleaning frequency
- Downspout extensions: Ensure water discharges away from your foundation
Skylight Services
A leaking skylight is almost never about the glass — it’s about failed flashing or sealant at the roof penetration. We diagnose and fix skylight leaks properly, and we install new skylights with watertight flashing kits.
- Skylight leak diagnosis and repair
- Flashing replacement (the most common source of skylight leaks)
- Skylight replacement — curb-mount and deck-mount styles
- New skylight installation in existing roofs
- Velux, Fakro, and other major brand installation
Roof Inspections
An annual professional roof inspection is the single best way to catch minor issues before they become expensive problems. We recommend inspections:
- Annually, every fall (before Bay Area rainy season)
- After any major storm or wind event
- Before purchasing a home
- Before renewing your homeowner’s insurance
- If your roof is 15+ years old
Our written inspection report covers the condition of all roofing materials, flashing, gutters, ventilation, penetrations, and fascia — with photos. You receive a clear summary of what requires immediate attention, what to monitor, and what’s in good shape.
Pre-Purchase Inspections
Buying a home? A roofing inspection before close gives you accurate information about the roof’s condition and remaining life — so you can negotiate appropriately or budget for replacement. We provide written reports suitable for real estate transactions.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should gutters be cleaned?
In the Bay Area, twice a year — once in late fall after leaves drop, and once in late spring. Properties near heavy tree cover may need more frequent service.
Can you add a skylight to my existing roof?
Yes, in most cases. We’ll assess the rafter spacing and roof structure during a free consultation and give you a clear recommendation and quote.
