Gutter Systems We Install in Cypress
Seamless Aluminum Gutters
Seamless aluminum gutters remain the most popular choice among homeowners due to their durability, affordability, and low maintenance requirements. We fabricate these gutters on-site to the exact measurements of your roofline, creating continuous sections without joints or seams that typically cause leaks. Our seamless design eliminates the weak points common in sectional gutters while providing clean lines that complement your home's architecture.
Aluminum gutters resist rust and corrosion in humid conditions, making them ideal for the local climate. They're available in numerous colors that match or accent the exterior of your home, and they require minimal maintenance beyond periodic cleaning. Our seamless aluminum installations provide decades of reliable performance with proper care.
K-Style Gutters
K-style gutters feature a decorative profile that resembles crown molding, adding aesthetic appeal while providing superior water capacity compared to traditional half-round designs. The flat back of K-style gutters allows for secure mounting against your fascia boards, creating stable installations that resist sagging and pulling away from your home.
These gutters handle heavy rainfall volumes common in Cypress, channeling water efficiently even during intense Gulf Coast storms. We install K-style gutters in 5-inch and 6-inch widths, selecting the appropriate size based on your roof area, pitch, and local rainfall data. The larger capacity options work particularly well for homes with steep roofs or large drainage areas.
Half-Round Gutters
Half-round gutters offer a classic, traditional appearance that complements historic homes and specific architectural styles. These gutters feature a smooth, curved profile that's less prone to debris accumulation than angular designs. The open shape allows for easier cleaning and maintenance access.
We install half-round gutters using sturdy brackets and hangers that support the system properly while maintaining the visual appeal of this traditional style. These gutters work well for homeowners seeking authentic period-appropriate aesthetics combined with modern materials and installation techniques.
Copper Gutters
Copper gutters deliver exceptional longevity and distinctive beauty that evolves over time. New copper installations shine with brilliant metallic luster, then develop a rich patina that adds character. Copper's natural antimicrobial properties resist algae and moss growth, while the material itself can last 50 years or more with minimal maintenance.
We install copper gutter systems using proper soldering techniques at joints and seams, creating watertight connections that stand the test of time. Copper installations represent a premium investment that pays dividends through decades of maintenance-free performance and timeless beauty.
Our Gutter Installation Process
Detailed Property Assessment
We begin every gutter installation with a comprehensive evaluation of your property's drainage needs. Our contractors examine your roofline dimensions, measure roof pitch and surface area, identify optimal downspout locations based on landscaping and drainage patterns, and assess foundation grading to determine proper water discharge points.
During this assessment, we also look for potential obstacles like landscaping features, utility connections, and architectural details that might affect gutter placement.
We discuss your preferences for gutter style, material, and color during this phase. We provide samples and explain performance differences between options.
Precise Measurements & Custom Fabrication
After completing our assessment, we take precise measurements of every section of the roofline receiving gutters. For seamless gutter installations, these measurements must be exact to create properly fitted sections without waste or splicing. We record dimensions for straight runs, corners, and transitions to fabricate components that fit perfectly.
We fabricate seamless gutters on-site using professional equipment that forms continuous sections to your exact specifications. This custom fabrication eliminates the seams and joints that cause leaks in sectional gutter systems. We cut, form, and prepare all components before beginning installation.

Professional Installation
We protect your landscaping, cover entry areas, and prepare your property for construction activity. Then, we begin the installation following our planned design.
We start by installing fascia brackets or hangers at proper intervals to support your gutters without sagging. Spacing depends on gutter material and local weather conditions, but typically ranges from 24 to 36 inches. We position these supports to create the proper pitch toward downspouts, typically a quarter-inch drop per 10 feet of gutter run.
Next, we secure gutter sections to the mounted brackets, ensuring tight connections at corners and end caps. We install downspouts at designated locations, securing them to the exterior walls of your home with sturdy brackets. We position downspout extensions to direct water at least 6 feet from your foundation, protecting against basement flooding and foundation damage.
Throughout installation, we verify proper pitch using levels and measuring tools. We check that water flows toward downspouts without pooling in low spots. We seal all joints, end caps, and connections to create a watertight system that won't leak during heavy rainfall.
System Testing & Final Inspection
After completing installation, we test your gutter system extensively to confirm that it's functioning correctly. We run water through the gutters to verify proper flow toward downspouts, check all joints and seams for leaks, observe downspout discharge to confirm adequate water volume, and inspect hangers and brackets to confirm secure mounting.
Your gutter system must meet our performance standards before we consider the job complete. We make any necessary adjustments to pitch, tighten connections, or address minor issues identified during testing.
We then perform a comprehensive cleanup, removing all debris and materials, collecting metal scraps and fasteners, rinsing any residue from your siding or driveway, and conducting a final property walk-around. You're left with a professionally installed gutter system and a clean property.
Experience the Benefits of Professional Gutter Installation
Foundation Protection
Properly installed gutters channel thousands of gallons of rainwater away from your foundation each year. Without effective gutter systems, roof runoff cascades directly beside your home, saturating soil and creating hydrostatic pressure against foundation walls. This constant moisture exposure leads to cracks, settling, and basement water intrusion. Our strategically positioned gutter systems and downspouts direct water flow safely away from your foundation, protecting your home's structural integrity and preventing costly foundation repairs.
Prevention of Soil Erosion & Landscape Damage
Uncontrolled roof runoff erodes soil, washes away mulch, damages plants, and creates unsightly channels in your landscaping. The concentrated water flow from roof edges digs trenches and undermines hardscaping features like walkways and patios. Our gutter installations collect this water before it reaches ground level, distributing it through controlled discharge points that won't damage your carefully maintained landscaping. The result is preserved curb appeal and protected landscape investments.
Siding & Exterior Protection
Water cascading from roofs without gutters splashes against siding, saturating exterior materials and accelerating deterioration. Wood siding develops rot, vinyl materials stain and discolor, and paint finishes peel prematurely from constant moisture exposure. Our gutter systems eliminate this water contact, keeping siding dry and extending the lifespan of the exterior finishes of your home. The protection we provide saves money on premature siding replacement and repainting projects.
Reduced Basement Flooding Risk
Excess water around your foundation finds its way into basements through cracks, seams, and porous concrete. Basement flooding damages stored belongings, ruins finished spaces, and creates ideal conditions for mold growth. Our gutter installations with properly positioned downspout extensions direct water away from your home's perimeter, significantly reducing the risk of basement water intrusion. Homeowners in Cypress particularly benefit from this protection during heavy rainfall events.
Prevention of Fascia & Soffit Damage
Without gutters, roof runoff flows directly over fascia boards and soffit materials, keeping these components constantly wet. This moisture exposure leads to wood rot, paint failure, and structural deterioration that requires expensive repairs. Our gutter systems catch water at the roof edge before it contacts fascia and soffits, keeping these components dry and preventing rot damage. The fascia protection we provide saves thousands in potential repair costs.
Signs You Need New Gutter Installation
Contact Onit Roofing if you notice:
- No Existing Gutters: Homes built without gutter systems or properties where gutters were removed need professional installation to protect against water damage.
- Foundation Cracks or Settlement: Visible cracks in foundation walls or doors and windows that suddenly stick indicate foundation movement, often caused by poor drainage.
- Basement Water Intrusion: Wet basements, standing water, or moisture stains on basement walls signal inadequate exterior drainage that proper gutters would address.
- Soil Erosion Around Home: Channels or trenches in soil next to your foundation, washed-out landscaping, or exposed root systems indicate roof runoff problems.
- Paint Peeling on Siding: Premature paint failure, particularly along lower siding sections, often results from splash-back caused by missing or failing gutters.
- Staining on Exterior Walls: Vertical streaks or discoloration on siding surfaces indicate water running down exterior walls without gutter protection.
- Standing Water Near Foundation: Pools of water that persist after rainfall next to your home create ongoing moisture problems that can lead to foundation damage.
- Damaged Landscaping After Rainfall: Plants showing stress, washed-away mulch, or eroded flower beds along your roofline need the protection that gutters provide.
Gutter Installation for Different Roof Types
Pitched Roof Installations
Standard-pitched roofs with defined eaves provide straightforward gutter installation opportunities. We mount gutters along all eaves that discharge rainfall, positioning systems to catch water effectively without interfering with roof shingles or drip edges. Our installations on pitched roofs follow manufacturer specifications for proper placement relative to the roofline, creating systems that function efficiently without causing ice dam problems or roof damage.
Hip Roof Installations
Hip roofs with eaves on all sides require complete gutter coverage around your home's perimeter. We design systems that handle the increased water volume from multiple roof planes converging at corners, positioning downspouts strategically to manage concentrated flow areas. Our hip roof installations use properly sized gutters and downspouts that prevent overflow during heavy rainfall.
Complex Roofline Installations
Homes with multiple roof levels, dormers, valleys, and architectural details require careful planning and precise installation. We design gutter systems that work with your home's unique architecture, creating solutions that handle water from various roof planes effectively. Our team has the expertise to install gutters on complex rooflines while maintaining visual appeal and proper function.
Gutter Installation FAQs
How long does gutter installation take?
Most residential gutter installations take 1-2 days, depending on the size of the home and system complexity. Simple ranch homes with straightforward rooflines often require just one day, while larger two-story homes or properties with complex architecture may need additional time. We provide specific timeline estimates during your consultation based on the scope of your project.
What size gutters do I need?
Standard residential gutters come in 5-inch and 6-inch widths. Most single-story homes with moderate roof areas perform well with 5-inch gutters. Homes with steep roofs, large roof surfaces, or areas experiencing heavy rainfall benefit from 6-inch systems that handle greater water volume. We calculate proper gutter sizing based on your roof's square footage, pitch, and local rainfall intensity.
How many downspouts do I need?
Building codes typically require one downspout for every 35-40 feet of gutter run. However, Texas rainfall intensity and your specific roof characteristics may require additional downspouts for optimal drainage. We position downspouts based on water volume calculations, landscape features, and foundation protection needs. Proper downspout placement is critical for effective drainage and preventing overflow.
Can you match my home's existing gutters?
For partial gutter replacements or additions, we match your existing gutter style, material, and color as closely as possible. Most common gutter colors remain available from manufacturers. However, if your gutters are significantly aged or come from discontinued product lines, exact matches may not be possible. We provide the closest available match and discuss your options during consultation.
Should I install gutter guards during installation?
Gutter guards reduce maintenance requirements by preventing leaf and debris accumulation. Installing guards during initial gutter installation is cost-effective since the system is already accessible. However, guards aren't necessary for all homes. Properties with minimal tree coverage may not benefit enough to justify the expense. We discuss gutter guard options during consultation and help you determine whether they make sense for your property.
