No! All rain gutters do the same job. They catch the rainwater that falls from your roof, then contain and control it. However, rain gutters come in all shapes, sizes, materials, colors, and qualities. Some are pre-formed and joined together with connectors, such as the gutters you buy at your local lumberyard, and some are custom-made specifically for your home. Because the seamless type of rain gutter is custom-made, the material used, component parts, layout plan, installation, and quality of workmanship will not be consistent from company to company.

We carry several kinds of leaf protection products. Even if you don't have trees in your yard, we strongly recommend having leaf screens installed on your new rain gutters. Keep in mind that any object on your roof will eventually end up in your gutter and may clog the downspout. The last thing you need to be doing is trying to unclog a downspout in a rainstorm. It's dangerous, uncomfortable, and dirty. Adding a leaf screen to your new rain gutters will ensure you have year-round protection from overflowing gutters and clogged downspouts.

Gutters should be cleaned when needed. We suggest inspecting them at least twice a year. If you notice they’re collecting a lot of dirt and leaves, clean them promptly.

No, it is normal for rain gutters to retain some water. When we installed your rain gutter, we used a minimal pitch. This slight slope allows water to flow toward the downspout during rainfall. However, once the rain stops, the water loses momentum and may puddle. This small amount of standing water is harmless and will evaporate shortly.

The rain gutter can only catch the water that falls directly into it. Water leaking behind the gutter is simply water that wasn’t able to enter the gutter. The reason why the water is missing the gutter needs to be identified, and any necessary corrections should be made to the roof. This is best handled by a licensed roofing specialist.

Yes! All of the colors that San Diego Rain Gutters carries are paintable. However, some simple preparation work may be needed. See your painting contractor for details.

Any good brand of Latex Exterior house paint is fine. Again, be sure that adequate preparation is done before you paint the gutters.

Not if you take some simple precautions. Do not select a roof that will project into the gutter more than 50% of its width. For example, if you've purchased our Black Thunder Rain Gutter, then you have a gutter that is 5 inches wide. The new roof tile or shingle should not project into the gutter more than two and a half inches.

Do not allow your roofer to lay his ladder against the gutter without sufficient bracing and protection.

The gutters must be checked for debris upon the completion of the work. Often, small pieces of construction debris left on the roof end up in the gutter as a clog. It's a good idea to thoroughly check and clean your gutters upon completion of your new roof.

The back of the gutter is not designed to be water-tight. This would be impossible. Your fascia and the back of the gutter are both very irregular. This is what causes the gap. As long as the gutter is under the tile or shingle, it will catch the water that falls into it.

We strongly recommend that you tie the downspouts into an underground drain system. That way, all the water is delivered directly into the storm drains that are in the street. Our downspouts can be easily modified for this type of drain system.

Yes! We have several devices that allow you to divert some or all of the rainwater into a receptacle for use in your garden.
