Gutter Installation in Austin, TX
Our gutter installation process
Gutters are an important way to protect your home or business from water damage. By installing a gutter system, you are lowering the risk of water leaking into your building or damaging its foundation or siding. It is important to hire an experienced gutter company to install your gutters in order to ensure that the proper hardware is used and leaks or sagging does not occur. We provide one of the best new gutter installation and repair services in Austin, Texas.
At Austinine Rain Gutters, our process starts with a thorough inspection of the building, including the roof and the fascia board. We will then determine what type of gutter and downspouts are needed, as well as the size and length of the gutters. Our experienced crew will then measure and cut the gutters to fit, and then install them. We will also install any necessary downspouts and gutter guards, and seal the joints. Following installation, we will conduct an inspection to make sure everything is functioning properly.
Our six-point professional gutter installation process includes inspecting, adjusting and verifying the following elements:
1. Pitch
Proper pitch (or slope) ensures that rainwater is directed away from the building and its foundation. If the pitch is not correct, then the water will not drain properly and could cause water damage to your home or business.
2. Downspouts
Downspouts carry water out of your gutters and away from your home or business, and it is important to have the correct number of downspouts placed in the right locations to avoid leaks and overflow.
3. Sealant
Applying sealant to gutters keeps them in good condition and helps avoid leaks. Even seamless gutters have connections at corners and end caps that need to be watertight to prevent damage to the gutters or the building structure.
4. Flashing
All of our gutters are installed under the drip edge flashing when possible to avoid any wood damage. They are securely tightened to the fascia with powder coated aluminum screws and properly sloped to ensure proper drainage.
5. Hardware
It is critical to use the correct hardware, such as hangers and screws, for the type of building material and fascia angle you have. We make sure to match the hardware to your home or business so that your gutters function properly and do not sag over time.
6. Gutter protection
We offer a number of gutter protection products, such as Gutter Gloves and Drop In Leaf Protection, to keep your gutters from getting clogged and causing leaks or property damage.
