Trusted Gutter Repair in Austin, TX

We evaluate each section on four criteria: profile integrity (is the shape crushed or kinked beyond restoration), fascia condition (is the mounting surface solid enough to hold hangers), joint and seam condition (are the failures at discrete joints that can be resealed, or has the seam itself separated), and slope correctability (can proper slope be restored without removing the section). Sections that pass all four criteria are repair candidates. Sections that fail any criterion where the failure cannot be corrected without removal are replacement candidates. We document the finding for each section with photos.

We provide a 1-year workmanship warranty on all gutter repairs covering joint seals, hanger installation, slope correction, and downspout reconnections. If a repair fails within 12 months — a joint re-opens, a hanger pulls free, a re-sloped section reverts — we return to correct it at no charge. We do not warranty damage from subsequent storm events or ice loads that exceed what was in place when the repair was completed. Warranty claims are handled within 48 hours of notification.

For standalone gutter work, look for a state contractor license, current liability insurance, and a physical business address (not just a P.O. Box or phone number). Check the BBB for complaint history and resolution record. Ask for references from completed work in your neighborhood from more than 12 months ago — this confirms they are still in business and that their work has survived at least one full seasonal cycle. Apex provides all of this without being asked.

Always, without exception. Our estimates are itemized by section and repair type, specify the material being used, and include the payment terms. We do not start work without a signed estimate in hand. Any change to scope discovered during the repair — rotted fascia, crushed downspout sections not visible before removal — is presented to you with an updated price before we proceed with the additional work. We do not expand the scope and present you with a surprise invoice at completion.

Document the failure with photos and compare the current condition to any before-and-after documentation from the original repair. Check whether the original contractor is still operating under the same license and business name — if they have changed business identities, that is itself a signal of the operator's approach to accountability. If the contractor is still operating, contact them in writing describing the failure and requesting warranty service. If they do not respond, file a complaint with the state contractor licensing board and your state's attorney general consumer protection division. Apex frequently remediates repairs from other contractors — we document the failure mode and provide a written assessment that can be used in a claim against the original contractor.

Roof and gutter systems are interdependent — water that sheds off the roof edge needs to enter the gutter cleanly, and improper drip edge installation or gutter slope issues can create leak points at the roof-to-gutter transition that look like interior leaks but originate at the exterior connection. Using a single contractor for both means the person inspecting your gutters has also seen your roof edge condition, drip edge installation, and fascia board health — and can identify problems at the intersection that a gutter-only specialist would miss. It also simplifies the insurance documentation process when storm damage affects both systems.

Yes — gutters are cleared of debris before any repair work so we can properly inspect all joints and fasteners.

Overflowing gutters indicate blockage or damage. If water is pooling near your foundation, try to redirect it temporarily. Call us for an emergency assessment.

A detaching gutter can fall and cause injury or damage. If sections are hanging, keep clear of that area and call us to schedule emergency re-fastening.

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.

We inspect every section, clear debris, reseal joints, re-fasten brackets, adjust pitch, reposition downspouts, and flow-test the system before we leave.
