Gutters and downspouts for Austin homes

We hang seamless gutters in aluminum, steel, and copper on hidden hangers and install downspouts that carry water away from your foundation.

A gutter system done right

Most leaks start at a seam, a loose hanger, or a downspout that dumps water at the foundation. We pay attention to those parts on every job.

  1. One seamless run

    We form the seamless run on site in one piece from corner to corner, so there are no joints along the wall to leak.

  2. Hidden hangers

    Hangers sit inside the gutter and screw through it into the fascia board, so you don’t see them from the ground.

  3. Mitered corner

    Two runs meet at the corner, each cut at 45 degrees, and we seal the joint.

  4. Downspout offset

    Two crimped elbows carry water from the outlet under the eave back to the wall.

  5. Straps

    Short metal bands hold the downspout flat to the wall.

  6. Splash block

    A sloped concrete block at the bottom of the downspout spreads water out and away from the foundation.

Aluminum, steel, or copper

The right gutter depends on your house and roof, so compare aluminum, Galvalume steel, and copper to see how they differ.

    Aluminum

    Aluminum is the most popular gutter material in Austin. It resists rust and comes in many colors to match your trim or roof.

    Profiles
    K-style, 5 or 6 inch
    Fits
    Brick, siding, and stone homes
  • Bare Galvalume steel gutters with a mitered corner under a silver standing-seam metal roof

    Galvalume steel

    Galvalume steel is heavier than aluminum. A steel gutter can match the silver of a Galvalume metal roof.

  • A new copper half-round gutter with an end cap, a round outlet, and a round copper downspout on a limestone eave

    Copper

    Copper half-round gutters and round downspouts never rust and develop a patina as they age.

  3. Gutters are formed on site

    We roll seamless gutters from a coil through a machine in your driveway, then cut each run to its wall’s length.

  4. We hang, seal, and test

    We put hangers inside the gutter, miter and seal the corners, and run water through the system before we leave.

Gutter questions

What’s the difference between seamless and sectional gutters?

Seamless gutters are formed on site from a coil, with one piece per wall from corner to corner. Sectional gutters have seams joining their short lengths, and most of their leaks start at those seams. The materials guide compares seamless and sectional gutters.

Should my gutters be 5-inch or 6-inch?

5-inch K-style gutters fit most houses. 6-inch gutters carry more water, which suits large roofs, steep roofs, and long runs that collect the most rain. Our guide to gutter and downspout sizes has Austin’s rainfall figures.

Do gutter guards mean I never clean my gutters?

No, gutter guards don’t mean you’ll never clean your gutters. They keep leaves and catkins out of the gutter, though debris still collects on top of the guard and needs brushing off from time to time.

Where should my downspouts drain?

Your downspouts should drain away from the foundation. Each one should end on a splash block, an extension, or a buried line that carries water out to ground that slopes away from the house, as we cover in downspouts and drainage.

Can new gutters match my roof or trim?

Yes, aluminum and steel gutters come in a range of factory colors, so they can match your roof, trim, or brick. Copper is left bare and weathers on its own.

Can you route my downspouts into a rain barrel or tank?

Yes, we connect downspouts to rain barrels and tanks, including the diverter and the run from the downspout to the tank. We don’t sell or install the tanks themselves. Austin Water’s rebate is covered in our guide to rainwater collection in Austin.
