Gutters & Downspouts
Seamless gutters sized for Texas downpours, so water ends up where it belongs.
Gutters do one quiet job: move water off the roof and away from your house. When they fail, the damage shows up somewhere else — rotted fascia, stained siding, washed-out flower beds, or soil movement under the foundation.
We look at the whole system, not just the piece that’s hanging. Then we recommend what your home actually needs, whether that’s a simple repair or new seamless runs installed by our trade partners.
When it’s time
- Water spills over the edge in a heavy rain, or sheets off one corner of the house.
- Sections pull away from the fascia, sag between hangers, or leak at the seams.
- Downspouts dump water against the foundation instead of carrying it away.
- Dents, splits or rust spots that keep coming back after patching.
When you don’t: A gutter that is clogged with leaves usually needs a cleaning, not a replacement. We’ll tell you when that’s all it is.
How we do it
Walk the whole roofline and photograph every run, corner and downspout.
Size the gutters and downspouts for the roof area they actually drain.
Form seamless runs on site so there are fewer joints to leak.
Pitch every run correctly and route downspouts away from the foundation.
Good to know
Aluminum vs. steel
Seamless aluminum is the Central Texas standard: it won’t rust, it’s lighter on the fascia, and it’s fully recyclable. Steel is stronger against hail and ladders but heavier and can rust where the coating gets scratched.
5-inch vs. 6-inch
Most homes do fine with 5-inch gutters. Steep or large roof sections, or valleys that concentrate water, often need 6-inch gutters and larger downspouts.
Gutter guards
Guards cut down on cleaning under heavy trees, but none are maintenance-free. We’ll tell you honestly whether your trees make them worth it.
What hail and wind do
Hail leaves dents along the face of gutters and crushes downspouts, and high wind can pull runs off the fascia. If storm damage is found, it may be covered depending on your policy. Your insurance company makes that decision.
Questions
Should I repair or replace my gutters?
It depends on how much of the system is failing. A loose hanger, one leaking seam or a crushed downspout is a repair. When several runs sag, leak or are dented end to end, replacement usually costs less over time. We photograph everything and show you what we found before recommending either.
Do I need gutter guards?
Only if your trees make cleaning a real chore. Guards reduce clogging from leaves and pine needles, but they still need an occasional rinse, and fine debris can get through. Under heavy oak or pine cover they’re often worth it. With few trees nearby, you can usually skip them.
What color options are there for seamless gutters?
Seamless aluminum comes in a wide range of factory-finished colors. Most homeowners match the trim or the fascia so the gutters disappear into the house. We bring color samples to the walkthrough so you can hold them up against your home in real daylight before choosing.
