Gutters for Conroe: sized for Texas rain, guarded against pine needles
Fifty inches of rain a year, half of it in downpours, and a loblolly pine over every other roof. Seamless 5- and 6-inch gutters, oversized downspouts, and guards that don't clog by October.
Gutters in Conroe do two jobs the ones up north don't: they move a lot of water very quickly — a summer thunderstorm here can drop two inches in an hour — and they do it under trees that shed needles year-round. Undersized 5-inch gutters with 2×3 downspouts overflow in a real storm, dumping water at the foundation, which on Montgomery County's clay soils is how you get a cracked slab and a settling corner. Unguarded gutters under pines fill with needles, hold water against the fascia, and rot it out in a few years.
We install seamless aluminum gutters rolled on site to the length of each run — no seams to leak — in 5-inch and, wherever there's a steep roof or a big roof plane draining to one corner, 6-inch with 3×4 downspouts that carry nearly twice the water. For guards under pine trees we install micro-mesh stainless guards, the only style that reliably stops needles; the foam and brush inserts and the wide-slot covers that get sold door-to-door here fill with needles inside a season. We also repair, re-pitch and re-hang sagging gutters, replace rotten fascia before the new gutter goes on, and clean out what's there if that's all you need.
What's included
Seamless aluminum
5" K-style or 6" K-style rolled on site in .027 or .032 aluminum, 30-plus colors to match fascia and trim.
Oversized downspouts
3×4 downspouts on 6" gutters and on any long run, with splash blocks or buried drains to carry water away from the slab.
Micro-mesh guards
Stainless micro-mesh on an aluminum frame — the one style that stops pine needles, oak tassels and shingle grit.
Fascia & drip edge
Rotten fascia replaced and drip edge added or corrected so the gutter is hung on solid wood, at the right pitch.
Repairs & cleaning
Re-pitching, re-hanging with hidden hangers, end-cap and outlet resealing, full cleaning and flushing.
Installed with the roof
Gutters, guards and drip edge done in the same visit as a replacement roof — usually cheaper and always cleaner.

Questions we get about gutters & guards
How much do gutters cost in Conroe?
Seamless 5-inch aluminum runs $9 to $14 a foot installed, so a typical home with 160 to 220 feet of gutter is $1,600 to $3,000. Six-inch with oversized downspouts runs $12 to $18 a foot, and micro-mesh guards add $9 to $16 a foot. Fascia repairs, buried drains and extra downspouts are itemized separately so you can see what's what.
Do gutter guards really work with pine needles?
Micro-mesh does. Needles slide off a fine stainless mesh; they thread straight through the wide slots on cheaper covers and pack into foam inserts. Expect to brush the top of a micro-mesh guard once a year under heavy pines — not to dig out the gutter.
Five-inch or six-inch?
Six-inch on any roof plane over about 1,200 square feet draining to a single corner, on steep roofs, and on the back of two-story homes where all the water ends up. Five-inch is fine for single-story hip roofs with plenty of downspouts. We measure and tell you which — the upcharge is small and overflow at the foundation is not.
My gutters overflow in every storm. Why?
One of three things: they're clogged, they're pitched wrong (water should fall about a quarter inch every 10 feet toward the downspout), or they're undersized for the roof feeding them. We'll tell you which after a look, and it's often a $300 fix, not a $2,500 replacement.
Should I replace gutters when I replace the roof?
If they're over 15 years old, sagging, seamed or the wrong size, yes — the drip edge and the gutter go on together and it's cheaper in one visit. If they're sound, we protect them during the tear-off and clean them out when we're done.
Do you install downspout drains?
Yes. Buried 4-inch drains to the curb or to a pop-up in the yard keep roof water off the slab, which matters more on Montgomery County clay than almost anywhere. Splash blocks are the minimum; drains are the fix.
