About
About the Roof and Gutter Guide
An Australian guide to roofs and gutters: how they work, what goes wrong, and what the fix costs.
Who writes it
“Roof and Gutter Guide editor” is the publication’s editorial credit, not a claim to be a licensed roof plumber. Guides use AI-assisted drafting and source review; the publication has not performed roofing installations or product testing. Answers are checked against the National Construction Code, state regulators and roofing makers' published data, and every price comes from a named, dated source.
The pictures and tools
Photographs from Wikimedia Commons are credited. Pictures marked "Illustration" are generated images of a typical job, not real houses. Drawings are our own. The gutter check and pitch calculator are guides that show their method; they are not a design.
Disclaimer
General information only. Roof plumbing is licensed work in most states, so use a licensed roof plumber for any repair. The guide has no relationship with the company that held this web address before it.
