Gutters and drainage in Anaheim
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.

Three questions, then the address. Up to three Anaheim contractors who do this work.

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.
- Seamless or sectional, and what gauge of aluminium
- Condition of the fascia behind the old gutter
- Gutter size against the roof area draining into it
- Where the water is discharged, and how far from the foundation
- Number and position of downspouts
Check the fascia before the gutter goes back up. Hanging new metal off soft wood buys you a year.
Size matters more than people think. Five-inch gutter on a large steep roof will overshoot in heavy rain no matter how clean it is.
Guards reduce cleaning; they do not eliminate it. Treat any product sold as maintenance-free with suspicion.
Locally
Behind it: shaded slopes that never really dry out. Slopes that never get direct sun stay wet for hours after the fog burns off, and that is where moss, lifted shingles and soft decking start.
About gutters here
Is this really free?
It is free to you. Contractors pay to receive homeowner requests in their area. That is the entire business model, and we would rather say so plainly than pretend otherwise.
Is moss on the roof a problem?
It matters more than it looks. The damage is not the moss, it is the permanent damp underneath it. Kill it and brush it off gently; never pressure wash asphalt.
Do I have to hire anyone?
Not at all. Plenty of people use this to find out what a job costs and then do nothing for a year. That is a perfectly reasonable outcome.
Are the contractors licensed and insured?
We require a licence number and current insurance from every contractor in the network. Verify it yourself anyway. Your state licensing board has a free lookup, and it takes two minutes.

No cost. We email you once when a provider near you can take it on.
