Gutters, matched to your home.
Overflowing gutters send water straight at your foundation and fascia instead of away from it. We install and replace seamless 5-inch and 6-inch gutters across the DFW Metro, sized and pitched to actually keep up with your roof.
Absolute Professional Roofing Contractors LLC installs and replaces seamless gutters, 5-inch and 6-inch, in colors matched to your roof and exterior, for homes across Plano, Richardson, Lewisville, Flower Mound, and the rest of the DFW Metro. Gutters are part of the roof system, not an afterthought, and when they're clogged, undersized, or pitched wrong, water ends up right where the roof was designed to keep it out: the foundation, the fascia, and the siding.
Are your gutters overflowing every time it rains?
Overflow almost always comes down to one of three things: the gutters are clogged with debris, they're too small for the amount of roof feeding into them, or they're pitched wrong so water pools instead of running to the downspout. Whatever the cause, the result is the same, water pouring over the edge instead of through the system, and it lands right at the foundation or behind the fascia board. Left alone, that overflow is what turns a gutter problem into a rot problem. Sizing and pitch matter as much as keeping the gutters clean.
Warning signs to watch for
Water spilling over the front edge
Overflow during rain usually means the gutters are clogged, undersized for the roof area, or pitched incorrectly so water pools instead of draining to the downspout.
Gutters sagging or pulling away from the roofline
A sagging gutter is either hanging on spikes that have worked loose or fastened into fascia that's rotted underneath and no longer holds a fastener.
Soft or discolored fascia behind the gutter
Fascia rots when water gets behind the gutter repeatedly, usually from overflow or a missing drip edge, and the rot can spread into the soffit if it's not caught.
Water pooling near the foundation
Downspouts that dump water too close to the house, or gutters that overflow instead of channeling water away, send water straight at the foundation instead of away from it.
What is causing the problem
Clogged or undersized gutters
Debris buildup and gutters that were never sized for the actual roof area feeding them are the most common reasons for overflow, especially during heavier rain.
Incorrect pitch
Gutters have to be hung with a slight, consistent slope toward the downspout, and if that pitch is off, water pools instead of draining even when the gutters are clean.
Failed hangers or spikes
Older gutters hung on spikes tend to work loose over time, letting the gutter sag away from the fascia and lose its intended pitch.
Rotted fascia from long-term overflow
Once fascia has been wet repeatedly, it softens and stops holding fasteners, which is why rehanging a gutter into rotted wood fails again within a season.
What to expect during the visit
We inspect the gutters, downspouts, and the fascia behind them to see whether overflow is a debris problem, a sizing problem, or a pitch problem. If the fascia has rotted, we'll replace the damaged boards before rehanging anything, since new gutters on rotted wood won't hold. We correct the pitch, confirm downspouts are directing water away from the foundation, and install seamless 5-inch or 6-inch gutters in a color matched to your roof and exterior when replacement is the right call.
Related services you may need
If overflow has already caused fascia or decking damage at the roofline, that's typically addressed alongside the gutter work as a Roof Repair. Homes getting a full Roof Replacement often replace gutters at the same time to match the new roofline exactly.
The cost of waiting
Gutter overflow that's ignored doesn't stay a gutter problem for long. Water repeatedly hitting the fascia rots the wood underneath, and rot can spread into the soffit and the rafter ends if it's left long enough. Water landing at the foundation instead of being carried away can also lead to bigger drainage issues around the house. A gutter fix now is a much smaller project than a fascia and drainage repair later.
How do I know if I need new gutters or just a cleaning?
If overflow happens even right after cleaning, the problem is likely sizing or pitch rather than debris, and that points to a replacement rather than a cleaning. If overflow only shows up after leaves build up, a cleaning and maintenance schedule may be enough.
What size gutters do I need for my house?
It depends on your roof's size and pitch, which determine how much water the gutters need to handle in a heavy rain. We install both seamless 5-inch and 6-inch systems and can recommend the right size after inspecting your roof.
Can gutters be replaced without damaging the fascia?
In most cases, yes, as long as the fascia is still sound. If overflow has already caused rot behind the gutter, that fascia needs to be replaced first so the new gutters have something solid to hang on.
If your gutters are overflowing or pulling away from the house, call Absolute Professional Roofing Contractors LLC anywhere in the DFW Metro. We'll inspect the gutters and fascia and give you a straight recommendation.
