Gutter Cleaning in the Bay Area
Debris off the roof and out of the gutters, downspouts flushed, the whole gutter system inspected, and everything documented, including photos.
How often should gutters be cleaned in the Bay Area?
Most Bay Area homes need it twice a year: once in late fall after the leaves drop, and once in early spring. Under oaks, eucalyptus, pines or redwoods, plan on three times, because those trees shed heavily and fill a gutter fast. Not sure where yours stands? Ask for a free estimate and we’ll take a look.
What a cleaning includes
- We clear the debris out of your gutters and off your roof.
- We flush the downspouts to make sure the water runs through.
- We inspect the whole gutter system, its hangers and the flashing, and check for rust, sagging, loose joints and fascia damage; if the roof needs a closer look, our roof specialist comes out.
- We document everything: a written summary of what we did, with photos of anything we find. It’s your record if your insurer ever asks for proof of the fire-safety work.
- If something needs fixing, the crew can quote the repair or gutter covers on the spot.
- It’s done the same day.
Signs it’s time
- Leaves or needles spilling over the edge
- Water running down the face of the gutter instead of the downspout
- Stains or streaks on the fascia below
- Plants growing in the gutter
- A gutter sagging under the weight
- Water pooling near the foundation after a rain

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!

Gutter covers can mean fewer ladder days. Ask the crew if they make sense for your trees.
Questions people ask
How much does gutter cleaning cost?
It depends on the house: how many feet of gutter it has, how high it is and how easy it is to reach, whether the gutters have screens and what kind, how long since the last cleaning, and how many trees are around. A posted number wouldn’t fit every home, so we come out, take a look and give you a free estimate.
How long does a cleaning take?
Most homes take one to two hours, depending on the scope of the work, and it’s always finished the same day.
Do I need to be home?
Yes. We always meet with the homeowner first; there’s usually a lot to go over.
What if it rains?
We check the forecast before we schedule, so it rarely comes up. If the weather turns, we reschedule.
Do you clear the roof too?
Yes. We clear the roof as well as the gutters.
Is there a free inspection?
Yes. Every cleaning includes a free inspection of the gutter system, and we’ll tell you if the roof needs a closer look from our roof specialist.
