Protect your foundation, fascia, and landscaping with properly routed gutters. Installed by a roofer who understands your entire roof system, not just the trough.
A roof without functional gutters is a roof that slowly destroys everything below it. Water pouring off your eaves erodes landscaping, saturates your foundation, and rots fascia boards from the back side where you never see it coming. Gary has watched homeowners spend thousands on foundation repairs that a $900 gutter job would have prevented entirely.
At Thompson Roofing, gutter work is part of the complete roof system. We size gutters to handle Riverside's sudden downpours, route downspouts away from your foundation, and make sure everything ties into your existing drainage. No subcontractors, no generic hardware-store brackets.
Seamless gutters are fabricated on-site from a continuous roll of aluminum, cut to the exact length of each run. No joints means no leak points. Sectional gutters use pre-cut pieces joined with connectors, making them cheaper up front but prone to leaks at every seam within a few years. For most Riverside homes, Gary recommends seamless aluminum because they outperform sectional systems by a decade or more.
Riverside's eucalyptus and palm trees drop debris year-round. Gutter guards keep leaves, pine needles, and seeds out of your trough while letting water flow freely. We install micro-mesh guards that work with both 5-inch and 6-inch K-style gutters. After install, most homeowners go from cleaning gutters twice a year to almost never.
Gutters are only half the system. If downspouts dump water right next to your foundation, you still get erosion and potential slab issues. We route downspouts to discharge at least 4 to 6 feet from the foundation, connect to underground drainage where needed, and make sure splash blocks are positioned correctly. On hillside properties, we tie into French drains or dry wells when the grade requires it.
Every gutter installation follows a methodical process that protects your home from the first bracket to the last downspout.
Gary inspects your roofline, fascia condition, and existing drainage. Rotten fascia gets replaced before any gutter goes up - otherwise you are bolting into soft wood.
We measure every run, calculate water volume based on your roof square footage, and determine whether 5-inch or 6-inch gutters are needed. Downspout placement is planned to move water away from your foundation.
Seamless gutters are formed on-site from a roll machine, cut to exact length. We install with hidden hangers every 24 inches and set proper slope so water flows instead of pooling.
We run water through every section to verify flow, check connections at all downspouts, and clean up completely. You walk the property with Gary before we leave.
Many gutter companies never step on the roof. Gary inspects your entire roof system before installing gutters. If your fascia, drip edge, or underlayment needs attention, he catches it before bolting anything on.
Gary is on-site for every gutter installation, not a crew he has never met. He verifies slope, hanger spacing, and downspout placement personally. Your gutters are installed by the same hands that build your roof.
We size your gutters for your actual roof area and rainfall conditions. If 5-inch gutters will handle the job, we are not selling you 6-inch. If your existing gutters just need a repair or cleaning, that is what we recommend.
