FAQs
Why should I replace my old gutters in Georgetown?
Central Texas weather brings sudden downpours, high winds, and falling oak and cedar leaves that can clog or damage older gutter systems. New seamless aluminum or steel gutters channel water farther from your foundation, prevent fascia rot, reduce basement or crawl-space flooding, and stop unsightly staining on brick and siding. Upgrading also allows you to add larger downspouts or leaf-guard protection, both of which lower maintenance and protect your home’s value.
How can I tell if I need a full gutter replacement instead of a repair?
Look for multiple leaks, visible sagging, sections pulling away from the fascia, rust holes, peeling paint beneath the eaves, or erosion lines in your landscape. If over 30 % of the system shows these issues, patching becomes a temporary fix that usually costs more in the long run. During our free inspection we measure pitch, check hidden hangers, and run a water-flow test; if the gutters fail on structural integrity or capacity, we recommend replacement.
What gutter materials do you install and which is best for Georgetown’s climate?
We offer seamless aluminum (our most popular), 24-gauge galvanized steel, copper, and designer zinc. For most homes, baked-enamel aluminum is ideal because it resists corrosion, has color-matched finishes, and is lightweight enough to maintain proper slope on long Texas eaves. If you live near the San Gabriel River or want a statement look, copper provides unmatched longevity—often 50+ years—but costs about 2-3 × more. Steel is a good mid-range option for hail-prone neighborhoods. During the consultation we review budget, aesthetics, and roof type to help you decide.
How long does a gutter replacement take and what is the installation process?
A typical single-story 2,000 sq ft home takes 4–6 hours, while larger or two-story homes may take a full day. We begin by safely removing the old gutters, inspecting and repairing fascia boards if needed, then fabricating seamless troughs on-site to exact lengths. Hidden hangers are fastened every 24–30 in for strength, downspouts are positioned to move water at least 5 ft from the foundation, and we finish with a complete cleanup and magnetic nail sweep. Before leaving, our crew runs water through the new system to prove proper flow.
Will new gutters really add value to my home and lower maintenance costs?
Yes. Prospective buyers look for well-maintained roofing and drainage systems; new gutters instantly boost curb appeal and signal proactive upkeep. More importantly, they prevent costly foundation settling, attic mold, and landscape damage that can run into thousands of dollars. With optional leaf guards you can virtually eliminate seasonal clean-outs, saving an average Georgetown homeowner 6–8 hours of ladder work or $150–$250 per year in cleaning fees.
Do I need to be home during installation, and is there anything I should do beforehand?
You are welcome to stay, but it isn’t required as long as we have access to driveways and electrical outlets. Before our arrival, please: 1) move vehicles 15 ft away from the roofline; 2) keep pets and children indoors; 3) remove patio furniture or fragile yard décor near the perimeter; and 4) trim any low-hanging branches within 3 ft of the eaves. We handle all permits, dispose of old materials, and leave your property as clean—or cleaner—than we found it.
