Affordable Gutter Repair in Houston, TX

Re-securing a sagging section and restoring proper slope: $75 to $150 per section. Resealing open end caps or mitered corners: $40 to $80 per joint. Replacing a crushed or disconnected downspout section: $85 to $175 depending on length and profile. Replacing a 10-foot run of damaged aluminum gutter including hangers and end cap: $120 to $200. Full inspections are free — we provide an itemized estimate before touching anything.

Repair is appropriate when the profile is intact but the slope, hangers, or joints have failed. Replacement is warranted when the aluminum has been crushed or kinked, when sections have separated at the seam rather than the joint, or when the fascia behind the gutter has rotted and needs to be replaced simultaneously. If your gutters are original to a home built before 1985, they are likely 4-inch K-style — consider upgrading to 5-inch at replacement for better capacity.

Cleaning before allows us to assess the true condition of the gutter bottom and identify any rust-through or perforation that would be hidden under debris. We offer gutter cleaning as an add-on to any repair visit — it is far more efficient to have it done simultaneously than to schedule a separate visit. We also install stainless-steel micro-mesh gutter guards as an option that virtually eliminates the need for future cleaning.

Seamless aluminum gutters, formed on-site from a continuous coil, eliminate the joint every 10 feet that is the most common failure point in sectional systems. They cost 20 to 30 percent more than sectional but typically last 15 to 20 years longer with proper hanger spacing. For any project replacing more than half the total gutter run, we recommend pricing both options — the lifetime cost of seamless is lower in most cases.

Yes, when the damage is from a covered peril — hail denting, wind-lifted sections, fallen limb impact. Apex documents gutter damage with photos and measurements formatted for insurance adjuster review. In our experience, gutter line items are commonly omitted from storm damage estimates and need to be supplemented. If your roof was damaged in a recent storm, always have the gutters inspected at the same time — the claim documentation applies to both.

The general rule is one downspout per 30 to 40 linear feet of gutter, with a maximum watershed area of 600 to 800 square feet per outlet. Homes with large open roof planes, wide overhangs, or high-intensity rainfall areas should target one outlet per 20 to 30 feet. If your gutters overflow in moderate rain despite being clear of debris, insufficient downspout capacity is the most likely cause — adding outlets is often more cost-effective than upgrading to 6-inch gutters.

Yes — we'll inspect the system and quote on the spot for standard repairs.

Annual cleaning and a joint seal inspection every two to three years prevents most major repairs and extends the system's life significantly.

Yes — if multiple sections need work, we price the job as a whole rather than per-repair, which typically saves money.

Repair now is almost always cheaper. Failed gutters can cause fascia rot, soffit damage, and foundation issues that cost far more to fix.
