Gutter Installation & Replacement in Los Angeles, CA

If your gutters are sagging, leaking, rusting, or pulling away from your home, it’s likely time for replacement. In Los Angeles, seasonal rains from November through March combined with debris from eucalyptus trees, palm fronds, and jacaranda blooms can accelerate wear. Visible cracks, frequent overflows during storms, or peeling paint near gutters also indicate replacement is needed to help protect your home from water damage.

Aluminum gutters are a top choice for Los Angeles homes. They’re lightweight, won’t rust, and handle our climate well—from occasional heavy rainstorms to months of intense sun and dry conditions. Copper is another durable option that develops a distinctive patina over time, offering premium aesthetics. LeafFilter installs aluminum and copper for K-Style and half-round gutters, customized for your home.

Most professional gutter installations are completed in one day. Larger homes or properties with complex rooflines may take longer. Los Angeles homes with multiple stories, hillside locations, or distinctive architectural styles like Spanish Colonial or Mid-Century Modern can extend the installation timeline to two days.

The size of gutters depends on your home’s roof area and local rainfall. In Los Angeles, 5-inch gutters work well for most homes due to moderate rainfall, especially between November and March. However, 6-inch gutters are better for larger roof areas or hillside properties in areas like the Hollywood Hills or San Fernando Valley that experience heavier water runoff during winter storms.
