FAQs
Why are gutter replacements often necessary after Central Texas storms?
Severe thunderstorms, hail, and high winds common to the Georgetown area can dent, loosen, or detach gutters, preventing them from channeling water away from your roof and foundation. Damaged gutters can lead to roof leaks, fascia rot, landscape erosion, and even slab issues. Replacing compromised sections ensures your home is ready for the next heavy downpour and meets current building codes.
How can I tell if my gutters need full replacement or just a repair?
Look for multiple cracks, widespread rust, sagging sections, peeling paint below the eaves, pooling water around the foundation, or nails and fasteners consistently pulling away. One or two localized issues may require only a repair, but if 25-30 % of the system is compromised or the gutters are over 20 years old, a complete replacement is usually more cost-effective and reliable.
What gutter materials and profiles do you install in Georgetown?
We custom-fabricate seamless aluminum, steel, or copper K-style and half-round gutters in 5-inch and 6-inch sizes. For homes surrounded by large oak or pecan trees, we also offer high-capacity box gutters and integrated leaf-guard systems that minimize clogs from seasonal leaf drops and storm debris.
How long does a typical gutter replacement project take?
Most single-family residences in the Georgetown area can be completed in one day, including removal of old gutters, onsite roll-forming of seamless sections, installation, and cleanup. Larger homes, multi-story structures, or those requiring fascia repairs may take an additional day.
Will my homeowners insurance cover gutter replacement after hail or wind damage?
If a licensed roofing inspector confirms the gutters were damaged by a recent covered peril—such as hail or wind—most Texas policies will pay for replacement minus your deductible. We document all storm damage with photos, provide a detailed estimate in the insurer’s format, and meet the adjuster onsite to help maximize your claim.
How do new gutters protect my roof and foundation in Central Texas weather?
Properly sized and pitched gutters collect intense rainfall and move it safely to downspouts, reducing shingle edge rot, preventing water intrusion into soffits, and minimizing soil saturation around the foundation. This is especially critical in our region’s expansive clay soils, which are prone to shifting when moisture levels change abruptly after heavy storms.
