Gilroy Roof Pros provides professional gutters & downspouts in Gilroy, CA for residential and commercial properties across the South Santa Clara Valley. Gutters get treated as an add-on line at the bottom of a roofing bid. On a Gilroy tile house they are geometry, and the geometry changes if the covering changes, which is a sentence most homeowners hear for the first time after the tile is already off the roof.
A tile field sits higher and projects further past the fascia than a shingle field does. The gutter under it is hung to suit that, with an eave riser and a bird stop closing the gap at the first course. Convert that roof to shingle or to a stone-coated steel panel and the water now leaves the edge at a different height and a different angle. The old gutter line will overshoot or backfeed.
So on any conversion we price the gutters as part of the job rather than pretending they are unaffected by it. That is not an upsell dressed up as engineering. It is the reason conversions done cheaply end up with a permanently wet strip of stucco below the eave that nobody can quite account for afterwards.
Capacity is the other thing worth arguing about. This valley takes its annual rain in a small number of very intense events, and a five-inch trough with two undersized outlets on a long run will overtop in exactly those storms, which are the only storms that ever matter. We size the trough to the roof area feeding it, and put the outlets where the water actually arrives, which is usually below a valley.
The specification is unglamorous and it is what lasts. Continuous-run aluminum in a 0.032 thickness on hidden hangers screwed into solid backing rather than nailed into a fascia already nailed twice, three-by-four downspouts on anything carrying a valley, and discharge routed far enough from the foundation that it becomes somebody else's problem rather than yours.
Guards are worth it under an oak and a waste of money under open sky. If your eaves fill with grit and granules rather than leaves, a guard will not help you and may well make the trough harder to clean out. We will look at what is actually coming off your roof, in the trough rather than from the ground, and give you a straight answer about which of the two you actually have.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — assembly weight in pounds per square foot including sheathing, standard-weight concrete tile at nine to eleven pounds per square foot, stone-coated steel formed in a barrel profile, 7/16-inch Exposure 1 sheathing with edge blocking at the panel joints, 26-gauge galvanized wall and roof intersection flashing, net free ventilating area at a one-to-150 ratio — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Gilroy and nearby communities including Morgan Hill, San Martin, Hollister, San Juan Bautista.

Materials, equipment and how we do gutters & downspouts
The difference between gutters & downspouts that lasts and gutters & downspouts that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with assembly weight in pounds per square foot including sheathing, standard-weight concrete tile at nine to eleven pounds per square foot, stone-coated steel formed in a barrel profile, 7/16-inch Exposure 1 sheathing with edge blocking at the panel joints, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Gilroy job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the South Santa Clara Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
