Addison Gutter Installation and Repair
Gutters are the last step in keeping rain off your home. In Addison, hail and age are the two things that most often knock them out of service.

Quick gutter check
Does water spill over the front edge during heavy rain?
Do any sections sag or pull away from the fascia?
Are there drips at the corners or seams?
Is the paint peeling or the wood soft behind the gutter?
Do downspouts empty right next to the slab?
Are there hail dents along the gutters or downspouts?
Do you see stains on the siding below the gutters?
What failing gutters damage
Fascia
Water held against the board rots it and loosens the gutter hangers.
Roof edge and decking
Backed-up water seeps under the first row of shingles and soaks the wood.
Foundation and beds
Water dumped at the base of the house carves the soil and stresses the slab.
Siding and windows
Overflow splashes onto walls and window frames and stains them.
Walkways and drives
Water dropping in one spot can stain concrete and freeze into a slick patch on rare cold nights.
Addison storms and older homes
NOAA's Storm Prediction Center logged 29 hail reports of 1.75 inches or larger within 10 miles of Addison from 2015 through 2024, with a high of 3 inches on June 6, 2018. Gutters are thin metal, and hail that size leaves dents that trap water and debris. A dented gutter is also a hint that the roof above it was hit.
Half of the homes in Addison were built before 1998 (U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024). Original gutters on homes that age are often sectional, with seams that leak and hangers that have worked loose. The fascia behind them may have years of water damage that is only visible once the gutter comes down.
For landlords, gutters are easy to forget because tenants rarely look up. The same survey shows only 18% of homes here are owner-occupied, so many gutters go unchecked until a ceiling or a wall shows damage.
How we install or repair
Inspect
We check the gutters, fascia, drip edge and the roof edge above.
Repair the wood
Rotted fascia is replaced so the new gutters have something solid to hang on.
Size and slope
Gutters and downspouts are sized for the roof area and pitched toward the outlets.
Direct the water
Downspouts are placed and extended so water moves away from the house.
Check the result
We run water through the system or watch the next rain report to make sure it drains as planned.
Pair it with your roof work
Small fixes go a long way. Resealing seams, adding hangers and correcting the pitch can bring older gutters back into service. When the metal is split, crushed or rusted through, a new run is the better choice. We tell you which one fits before any work begins.
If you are replacing the roof, it is a good time to check the gutters too, since the drip edge sits between them. See roof replacement in Addison, our gutter repair service or the Addison page. GemSco is family owned, licensed and insured, and estimates are free.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should hail-dented gutters be replaced?
It depends on how bad the dents are. Light dents that do not block water can stay. Crushed sections, split seams or gutters that lost their slope should be repaired or replaced. Since gutters often show hail first, we usually check the roof during the same visit and photograph both.
How often should gutters be cleaned?
At least twice a year, and more often if trees hang over the roof. Clean gutters after big storms too, since hail knocks granules and leaves into them. Clogged gutters are one of the most common causes of roof leaks in Texas homes.
Can gutters stay up during a roof replacement?
Sometimes, if they are in good shape and the drip edge can be handled around them. Often it is better to remove and reinstall them, or replace them if they are old. We look at the condition first and explain which option makes sense.
