Gutter Replacement

Houston’s intense storm bursts can dump over an inch of rain in under an hour.

Our seamless aluminum gutter systems are fabricated on-site to move that water away from your foundation, fascia, and landscaping before it becomes a problem.

Properly sized gutters to a protected foundation = total peace of mind.

Signs You Need Gutter Replacement

Water Pooling Near the Foundation

If Houston's clay-heavy soil stays saturated after a storm, your gutters are no longer carrying water far enough from the slab, raising the risk of foundation movement.

Sagging or Pulling Away From the Fascia

Repeated heavy rain events add weight that stretches old fasteners and hangers, causing sections to

Rust Spots, Cracked Seams, or Peeling Paint

Houston's humidity accelerates corrosion at seams and end caps, especially on older sectional gutters that weren't seamless-formed.

How Seamless Gutters Hold Up to Houston Storms

What Actually Determines Whether New Gutters Last Here

✔ On-site roll-forming eliminates the seams where 90% of leaks start on sectional gutters
✔ 5″ or 6″ K-style profiles sized to your roof’s square footage and pitch, not a one-size-fits-all default
✔ Hidden hangers spaced every 24″ to withstand wind gusts common during Gulf Coast storm season

We don’t just hang new trough over the old line — we recalculate downspout placement based on your roof’s actual water load so heavy June-through-September rain events drain where they should, not against your siding or slab.

Choosing the Right Gutter System for Houston Homes

Why Homeowners Move Away From Sectional Gutters

✔ 5-year workmanship warranty on every gutter replacement
✔ Financing available through GreenSky for full gutter system replacements

Older Houston homes built with sectional aluminum gutters were never designed for the rainfall totals the region now sees. Seamless systems, correctly pitched and paired with properly sized downspouts, cut down on standing water at the foundation and reduce fascia rot over time.

Common Questions About: Gutter Replacement

How do I know if I need a full gutter replacement instead of a repair?

If your gutters have minor leaks or isolated damage, a quick repair might suffice. However, if you notice widespread rust, sagging in multiple areas, cracked seams, or water pooling near your foundation after a storm, a full seamless replacement is usually the most cost-effective, long-term solution.

Why should I choose seamless gutters over traditional sectional gutters?

Traditional sectional gutters have joints every few feet, making them prone to leaks and corrosion over time—especially with Houston’s heavy rainfall. Seamless gutters are custom-fabricated on-site to fit your home perfectly, eliminating nearly all seams and drastically reducing the risk of leaks and foundation damage.

What gutter size is best for Houston homes?

For most homes in Houston, 5-inch or 6-inch K-style seamless aluminum gutters are recommended. Because local storms can dump intense amounts of rain in a short time, 6-inch gutters with properly sized downspouts are ideal for handling heavy water volume and steep roof pitches.

How long does a gutter replacement take?

Most residential gutter replacements can be completed in just one day. Our team fabricates the seamless gutters directly at your home and handles everything from removing the old system to clean up.

Will new gutters protect my home’s foundation?

Yes! Water pooling near your slab is one of the leading causes of foundation movement in Houston’s clay-heavy soil. A properly installed seamless gutter system diverts heavy rainwater far away from your foundation, fascia, and landscaping.

Do you offer warranties on your gutter replacement services?

Yes, we offer a 5-year workmanship warranty on every gutter replacement project, alongside manufacturer warranties on materials.
