Gutters and downspouts
Gutters Are The Last Few Inches Of Your Roof
A roof sheds water. The gutter decides where that water goes next. When it is undersized, sagging, or packed with leaves, the runoff spills behind the trough, soaks the fascia board, and drops straight beside the slab. We have been on North Texas roofs since 1995, and a good share of the leaks we chase end at the gutter line.
That is why a roofer is a sensible person to call about gutters. We look at the whole edge: the drip edge, the fascia behind it, the slope of each run, and where every downspout empties. A new gutter screwed to rotten wood will pull loose by next spring.
We start with a free inspection from the ladder, take photos of what we find, and tell you whether a cleaning and a few new hangers will do, or whether the runs need replacing. If yours are fine, you will hear that too.
Where gutters go wrong
Most Gutter Trouble Shows Up Somewhere Else First
You rarely notice a failing gutter by looking at the gutter. You notice paint peeling on the fascia, a soft spot in the soffit, a trench dug in the flower bed, or a stain on the ceiling near an outside wall. By then the water has been going the wrong way for a while, usually through more than one storm.
- Undersized runs. A long roof slope dumps a lot of water in a Texas downpour. If the trough or the downspouts are too small for that area, water overshoots the front lip or backs up and pours over the inside edge.
- Leaf load. Live oaks, pecans, and cedar elms drop something almost every season. Packed debris holds water against the metal, adds weight to the hangers, and turns the gutter into a planter.
- Fascia rot. When water runs behind the gutter instead of into it, the board it is fastened to stays wet. The wood softens, the screws lose their bite, and the whole run starts to lean away from the house.
- Pitch and seams. A gutter needs a slight, steady fall toward the outlet. Sagging sections hold standing water, and every joint in a sectional system is one more spot to drip.
- Downspouts that dump at the slab. Our clay soil swells when wet and shrinks when dry. Water released right at the foundation is the last thing it needs.
How a gutter job runs
Clean Lines, Straight Answers, No Surprises
Gutter work is quick, but it still deserves a plan. Here is the sequence, from your first call to the last downspout we test with a hose.
1
Free Inspection
We check every run, the fascia behind it, the drip edge above it, and where each downspout lets water out.
2
Written Estimate
You get the gutter size, the number of downspouts, and any fascia repair in writing. That price holds unless we find more rot.
3
Measure & Order
We measure each run on site, confirm the color against your trim, and set an install date that suits you.
4
Remove & Install
Old gutters come down, soft fascia gets replaced, and the new runs go up with proper hangers and a steady fall toward each outlet.
5
Water Test & Cleanup
We run water through the system, check every joint and outlet, haul off the old metal, and walk the house with you.
Repair or replace
Fix The Gutters You Have, Or Start Over?
Plenty of gutters only need attention, not replacement. A few signs tell us which way it goes, and we will show you each one in the photos from your inspection.
Cleaning and repair will do when…
- The metal is straight and sound, and the problem is a few loose hangers or one leaking corner.
- Water overflows only after the gutter has filled with leaves, not during every rain.
- The fascia behind the run is still firm when we press on it.
- Downspouts are the right size but need extending away from the foundation.
Most repairs and cleanings take a single visit.
New gutters make more sense when…
- Runs sag between hangers or have pulled away from the house in several places.
- Seams leak along the whole system, not just at one joint.
- The gutters are too small for the roof area, so they overflow in every heavy storm.
- Hail or a falling limb has dented and kinked sections beyond what can be bent back.
We tell you the timeline before we start.
Not sure which side of that line you are on? Book the free inspection. If a cleaning and a few new hangers will buy you another few years, that is the recommendation you will get, and nobody will quote you a full system you do not need.
Gutters overflowing in every storm?
Water spilling over the front lip often points to a roof problem as much as a gutter one. Call us and we will look at both.

Storm-Damaged Gutters And The Claim
Hail that bruises a roof usually leaves marks on the gutters and downspouts as well, and those dents are often the easiest damage to spot from the ground. We are roofers, not adjusters or attorneys. Our job is the work itself, and policy questions stay with your insurer.
- Photos from the ground up. We document dents in the gutters and downspouts alongside any roof damage, so the whole picture is on record with the date of loss.
- One contractor of record. If the roof and gutters are part of the same claim, you can name us as contractor of record and we meet the adjuster on site.
- Scope, not policy. When the scope misses something, like downspouts or fascia that has to come off with the gutter, we lean on code and the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Honest odds. A few cosmetic dents may not justify a claim. If that is what we see, we will say so.

Options
Gutter Options For North Texas Homes
The right gutter depends on how much roof drains into it, how many trees hang over it, and how the house looks from the street. We walk you through the trade-offs.
K-Style Gutters
The flat-backed profile on most homes in the area. It mounts tight to the fascia, carries plenty of water for its width, and comes in colors that suit most trim.
Larger Gutters & Downspouts
Bigger troughs and wider downspouts move more water off long or steep slopes. Worth considering where the current system overflows in every hard rain.
Gutter Guards
Screens and covers cut down on leaf load under heavy trees. They reduce cleaning, they do not end it, and we will tell you if your trees make them worthwhile.
What You Can Count On
A Written Scope
Sizes, downspout count, and any fascia work spelled out before we start.
A Roofer’s Eye
We check the roof edge and drip edge while we are up there, because that is where gutter leaks often start.
No Moving Price
Your estimate stands unless we find rotted fascia hiding behind the old gutters.

Common questions
Gutter FAQs
What size gutters and downspouts does my house actually need?
It depends on how much roof area drains to each run and how steep it is. Long, steep slopes collect a lot of water fast. We measure on site and size the gutters and downspouts for the roof you have, not a one-size default.
Can a clogged or sagging gutter really cause a leak inside?
Yes. When water backs up in a full gutter, it can rise over the back edge and run behind the drip edge, soaking the fascia, the edge of the roof deck, and sometimes the wall below. In a hard storm that can show up as a stain near an exterior wall. We check the roof edge along with the gutters for exactly that reason.
How often should gutters be cleaned around here?
At least once a year, and twice if you have big trees over the roof. Late fall, after the leaves drop, is the cleaning most people skip. Gutter guards can stretch the gap between cleanings, but they do not remove it.
Does insurance pay for hail-damaged gutters?
Whether they are covered is a question for your policy and your adjuster. What we do is help you navigate the process: we document the dents with dated photos, can act as your contractor of record, and meet the adjuster on site. We talk about what the job requires under code and the manufacturer’s instructions. Coverage is your insurer’s call; we are roofers, not adjusters or attorneys.
Do you repair fascia boards too?
Yes. If the board behind your gutter is soft, we replace that section before hanging anything on it. New gutters on rotten wood are a waste of good metal.
Should I put gutter guards on my house?
If oaks, pecans, or elms hang over your roof, guards can cut cleaning down a lot. With few trees nearby, the money is usually better spent on properly sized gutters.
Is the gutter inspection free?
Yes, with no obligation. We look at the gutters, downspouts, fascia, drip edge, and the roof edge above them, take photos, and tell you plainly what needs work and what does not.
Which towns do you cover?
Most addresses within an hour of Rockwall, such as Rowlett, Heath, Fate, Royse City, Wylie, Forney, Garland, Sachse, and Mesquite.
