Not at all. While all rain gutters serve the same fundamental purpose of collecting and directing rainwater from your roof, they differ significantly in design, dimensions, construction materials, color options, and overall quality. Some gutters are pre-manufactured sections connected with joining pieces, like those available at local building supply stores. Others are custom-fabricated specifically for your property. Seamless rain gutters, being custom-made, vary considerably in material quality, component parts, design planning, installation methods, and craftsmanship from one contractor to another. If you need rain gutter replacement services, contact us to discuss your options.

If you were shopping for a roof for your home, would you buy from a roofing contractor that only carried one type of roof? Of course not. People's tastes are as different as their homes. In addition, some homes may need one style of rain gutter replacement, while others may require a different style. Instead of trying to make one option fit all, San Diego Rain Gutters carries more than 21 types of rain gutters. According to House Cashin, 98% of basements experience some level of water damage. Let us help you minimize this problem! We are happy to help you select the right rain gutter for your home.

In our experience, properly equipped installation trucks can cost up to $45,000 each.

Absolutely not! First of all, we don't consider our estimators to be salespeople. Our estimators are knowledgeable professionals with experience in the rain gutter replacement industry. Their job is to help you choose the rain gutter system that best fits your home and budget. You will never be pressured into buying something you don't need. Our quotes are valid for two weeks, giving you plenty of time to think it over or shop around.

No, you don't have to be home. Naturally, we would prefer that you be there so we can answer any questions you might have about your gutter replacement. However, many of our customers have purchased rain gutter systems from us without ever meeting our estimators or installation team.

We carry several types of leaf protection products. Even if you don't have trees in your yard, we strongly recommend having leaf screens installed on your new rain gutters. Keep in mind that any object on your roof will eventually end up in your gutter and may clog the downspout. The last thing you need is to unclog a downspout during a rainstorm. It's dangerous, uncomfortable, and messy. Adding a leaf screen to your new rain gutters can help provide year-round protection against overflowing gutters and clogged downspouts.

No, it is normal for rain gutters to retain some water. When we installed your rain gutter, we used a minimal pitch. This slight slope allows water to flow toward the downspout during rainfall. However, once the rain stops, the water loses momentum and may puddle. This small amount of standing water is harmless and will evaporate over time.

A rain gutter can only catch the water that falls directly into it. Water leaking behind the gutter is simply water that could not enter the gutter. The source of the problem should be identified, and any necessary corrections should be made to the roof. This is best handled by a licensed roofing specialist.

Yes! All of the colors offered by San Diego Rain Gutters are paintable. However, some simple preparation work may be required. Consult your painting contractor for details.

Any quality brand of exterior latex house paint will work well. Again, be sure that the proper preparation is completed before painting the gutters.

Not if you take a few simple precautions. Do not choose a roof that will project into the gutter more than 50% of its width. For example, if you've purchased our Black Thunder rain gutter, you have a gutter that is 5 inches wide. The new roof tile or shingle should not project into the gutter more than 2.5 inches. Do not allow your roofer to lay his ladder against the gutter without sufficient bracing and protection. The gutters should be checked for debris after the work is completed. Small pieces of construction debris left on the roof often end up in the gutter and create clogs. It's a good idea to thoroughly inspect and clean your gutters after your new roof installation is complete.

The back of the gutter is not designed to be completely watertight. This would be nearly impossible because both the fascia and the back of the gutter have natural irregularities. These variations create the gap. As long as the gutter is positioned beneath the tile or shingle, it will catch the water that falls into it.

We strongly recommend connecting downspouts to an underground drainage system. This allows water to be directed into the storm drains located along the street. Our downspouts can be easily modified to work with this type of drainage system.
