Roof Repair in the Bay Area
Missing shingles, damaged flashing, a leak that keeps coming back: we find the cause and fix it.
Is it better to repair or replace a damaged roof?
Often a repair is enough. A leak can come from flashing that has worked loose or from one damaged section, and fixing that stops it. When the roof as a whole has failed, or the deck under it has rotted, a repair won’t hold and replacing makes more sense. We look first and tell you which.
What a repair includes
- We meet you at the house and look at the roof with you.
- We find where the water is getting in, not just where it shows.
- We tell you whether a repair will hold or the roof should be replaced, and give you a free estimate.
- We fix the cause: missing or damaged shingles, damaged flashing, vents, valleys and skylights, and we patch flat roofs.
- We document everything and include photos.
Repair or replace?
| What you see | What it usually means |
|---|---|
| A leak at a chimney, vent or wall, where flashing has come loose | A repair |
| One damaged section | A repair |
| Cracked, curled or missing shingles across the roof, and a lot of the granules gone | Time to look at replacing |
| A soft, rotted or warped deck under the roofing | The deck is fixed first, then the roof goes over it |
| A roof that’s already been covered over once | Usually a full replacement |
Signs it needs a repair
- Cracked paint, discolored drywall or peeling wallpaper on an upstairs ceiling or wall
- Stains or wet spots on the rafters when you shine a flashlight in the attic
- A few shingles missing or cracked after a storm
- Flashing lifting or rusted around a chimney or vent

We had Sunshine Replace a badly leaking old gutter and also replace/stabilize sections of wood rot at the ends of fascia/rake boards on the roof. They were excellent with regard efficiency, skills overall and gave attention to detail when working with us on the aesthetics of the fascia board repair. They were extremely prompt for appointments and came to review the project on site one more time before they started. Excellent communication, feedback and follow up. I highly recommend this company.

Our gutters and downspouts were well past the end of their life and needed to be completely replaced. We got a few different quotes, and Sunshine was not only the most affordable, but also the most thorough. They explained exactly what they proposed to do any why. On the installation day, their team arrived right on time and got the whole job done in just a few hours. They were quick, courteous, considerate of our space, and did a great job. Now we’re ready for El Nino, which is a huge weight off our shoulders.

Each of the people at Sunshine Gutters who addressed a gutter problem area at our house have been very good at what they do and easy to work with. Nir, with over 20 years experience, advised upgrading from 5-inch to 6-inch gutter and downspout at a specific section to solve chronic overshoot during storms. Tammar patiently and completely answered my questions about scheduling and payment. Installer Cesar with assistant José did a neat job of fitting new gutter material to a difficult configuration of eaves and corrected the pitch to ensure proper drainage. Everyone was determined to ensure I would be a satisfied client and they definitely succeeded.

I usually don’t write reviews, but in this case I felt I had to, especially after a bad repair experience with a larger company that was originally recommended to me.
Sunshine Gutters did a great job from start to finish. I had them install new gutters at my home in Richmond and the whole experience was smooth and stress-free. They showed up on time, worked quickly, and were super professional the entire way through. The crew was friendly and easy to talk to, and they really knew what they were doing.
Scheduling was also easy, and they were quick to respond whenever I had questions, which made the whole process feel simple and organized.
Overall, I’m really happy with the service. If you need gutter work done, I’d definitely suggest them.

Huge thanks to Carol at Sunshine Gutters and Roofing!
We had a leaking skylight that was originally installed by another company, and we were preparing for an expensive repair. We received quotes ranging from $1,500 to $4,000 from other roofers and assumed we'd be paying out of pocket.
Instead of trying to sell us a repair, Carol suggested that we contact Velux directly because she thought the skylight might still be under warranty. She was absolutely right. Velux confirmed that the skylight is covered and will be inspecting and repairing it under warranty.
Carol's honesty, knowledge, and willingness to point us in the right direction saved us thousands of dollars. It's rare to find a company that puts the customer's best interests ahead of making a sale. We are incredibly grateful for her advice and professionalism.
If you're looking for a trustworthy roofing company, I highly recommend Sunshine Gutters and Roofing. Thank you again, Carol!

Sunshine Gutters far exceeded my expectations for the installation of new gutters on my home in El Sobrante. From the excellent customer service of Carol in the office, to the very reasonable and competitive price quote given by Zack during his visit, to the exceptional installation by Antonio and his staff, I could not be happier. It’s not often you can recommend a company based on a perfect experience. Kudos to Sunshine Gutters in El Cerrito.

Last week I hired Sunshine Gutters for a gutter installation at my home in Richmond, California, and I am very happy with their service!
The team was friendly and very professional. They came on time and got the job done quickly. The quality of their work is excellent, and my new gutters look great.
I also appreciated how easy it was to schedule an appointment with them. They were quick to respond to my questions and made the whole process simple.
Overall, I had a great experience with Sunshine Gutters, and I would definitely use them again in the future. If you need gutter work, I highly recommend them!

Questions people ask
What is flashing?
The metal, or roll roofing, that seals a roof where it meets a chimney, vent pipe, wall, dormer or valley. It goes where a roof is most likely to leak, so it’s worth checking when a leak shows up.
Can new shingles go over the old ones?
Sometimes, once. In many places the building code allows “no more than one roof re-cover before a complete replacement is necessary,” and new shingles can’t go over a deck that is warped or rotted.
