Gutters and drainage in San Dimas
A roof that drains badly rots at the edges first — fascia, soffit, then the ends of the rafters. All of it cheaper to prevent than to replace.

Before you let anybody on the roof
The things worth pinning down on a gutters job. A contractor who has not raised them has not looked properly.
- Gutter size against the roof area draining into it
- Condition of the fascia behind the old gutter
- Where the water is discharged, and how far from the foundation
- Number and position of downspouts
- Seamless or sectional, and what gauge of aluminium
Check the fascia before the gutter goes back up. Hanging new metal off soft wood buys you a year.
Seamless aluminium formed on site is the default. Sectional gutter from a box store is cheaper and leaks at every joint within a few years.
Downspouts are where most systems actually fail — too few of them, or discharging straight against the foundation.
Locally
The second problem is the marine layer keeping the north slope damp. Damp that arrives every morning and leaves by lunchtime is worse for a roof than rain, because nothing ever fully dries between one and the next.
About gutters here
How many contractors will contact me?
Up to three. That is a hard cap, not a guideline. Three is enough to compare and few enough that your phone stays usable.
Do you cover the whole Los Angeles County area?
Yes. The contractors we match on cover San Dimas and the surrounding towns, so if you are just outside the city limits it still works.
Are gutters included in a re-roof?
Normally a separate line. It is the one add-on that genuinely costs less when done at the same time.
How much deposit is normal?
Ten to thirty per cent is ordinary, and is often used to order material. A demand for full payment up front is a reason to walk away.
