Gutter Guards in the Bay Area
Gutterglove Pro, LeafBlaster Pro and E-Z-Lock, fitted by our own crew, so the leaves stay on top and the water goes through.
Do gutter guards actually work?
Yes: gutter guards, also called gutter covers, keep leaves, needles and twigs out of the gutter while the rain runs through, so the cleanings get fewer. They don’t end them. Some debris still settles on top, and even the makers say every guard needs some upkeep, usually a brushing off.
What the job includes
- We meet you at the house and go over which guard suits your gutters and your trees.
- We clean out the gutters before the guards go on.
- We fit the guards along every run.
- We document everything and include photos.
The guards we install
| Guard | What it is | Upkeep, in the maker’s words |
|---|---|---|
| Gutterglove Pro | Stainless steel micro-mesh on aluminum rails. It stops leaves and the small stuff too: roof grit, pine needles and twigs. | “some level of maintenance” |
| LeafBlaster Pro | Stainless steel micro-mesh | Most homeowners brush it off “once or twice a year” |
| E-Z-Lock | A powder-coated steel screen. It snaps into the front of the gutter, or screws on under the shingles. | Brushing off the top “from time to time” |
Signs gutter guards would help
- You’re cleaning three times a year because of oaks, eucalyptus or pines
- Needles or seedlings keep turning up in the gutter
- Branches hang over the roof
- You’d rather stay off the ladder
- You live in fire country and want the gutters clear between cleanings

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
Which gutter guards does CAL FIRE recommend?
Noncombustible ones. CAL FIRE’s advice: “Use noncombustible gutter covers to keep out debris and reduce maintenance.” Gutterglove Pro and LeafBlaster Pro are stainless steel mesh, and E-Z-Lock is steel.
Do gutter guards get me an insurance discount?
Not on their own: gutter guards aren’t one of the measures in the state’s Safer from Wildfires insurance program. What they do is help keep the roof and gutters clear, and defensible space is one of its measures.
Do gutter guards matter when I sell the house?
They can. In a high or very high fire hazard zone, the seller of a home built before 2010 must tell the buyer about features that may make it vulnerable to wildfire, and one of them is “Rain gutters without metal or noncombustible gutter covers.”
How often will I still need a cleaning?
With a guard fully installed, end cap to end cap, a gutter should not need cleaning again. The top of the guard still wants a brush-off now and then, as the makers say in the table above, and we offer a roof and screen blow-off.
The best time to install gutter guards is on a sunny day before the rains.
We reply the same business day. Quotes in Spanish on request.
