Keller Gutters: Repair, Replacement and Storm Damage
Gutters protect the roof edge, the walls and the foundation. In Keller they also take the first hit when hail comes through.

Signs your gutters need attention
Water spilling over the front edge during heavy rain.
Dents, kinks or crushed downspouts after a storm.
Sections pulling away from the house or sagging between hangers.
Rust spots, drips at seams or stains on the siding below.
Peeling paint or soft wood on the fascia board.
Puddles or eroded soil along the foundation.
Why gutters wear faster in Keller
NOAA's Storm Prediction Center logged 217 hail reports within 10 miles of Keller from 2015 through 2024. Forty-six were 1.75 inches or larger, with large hail in 2015, 2021, 2023 and 2024. Aluminum gutters dent easily under hail that size. Even shallow dents can create low spots where water and debris collect, and a crushed downspout can back up the entire run.
Half of the homes in Keller were built before 1999 (U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024). On a house around 27 years old, the fascia boards behind the gutters may have absorbed years of overflow. When the wood softens, hangers lose their grip and gutters start to sag.
Dented gutters are also a clue. If a storm left marks on them, it likely reached the roof as well. A roof inspection in Keller can confirm it.
How gutter work is done
Inspect the full system
Every run, corner, outlet and downspout is checked, along with the fascia and roof edge.
Measure and plan
Size and downspout count are matched to the roof area and the way water drains around the lot.
Repair the base
Soft fascia is replaced before new gutters go up, so hangers hold.
Install or repair
Damaged sections are replaced or a new system is hung with proper slope toward each outlet.
Test the flow
Water is run through the system to confirm it drains and releases away from the house.
Gutter choices to discuss
Seamless runs
Fewer joints mean fewer places to leak. Common on new installs.
Larger profiles
A bigger gutter and wider downspouts handle intense rain on large roofs.
Gutter guards
Reduce clogs from leaves. They still need occasional cleaning.
Downspout extensions
Carry water away from the foundation and walkways, which matters most on lots that slope toward the house.
Gutters and the roof
When gutters back up, water can wick under the first course of shingles and rot the deck at the eaves. That is one of the common causes of roof leaks in Texas homes. If your roof is due for work, handle the gutters at the same time: the drip edge and fascia are already open, and the new gutters can be set to match the new roof edge.
Between storms, clear leaves and granules from the gutters a couple of times a year and after big storms. Heavy granule build-up is worth noting, since it can mean the shingles are wearing out. GemSco installs and repairs gutters along with roofing, and estimates are free. See our gutter repair service for more.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I replace gutters after hail in Keller?
If the dents are shallow and water still flows, a repair or nothing at all may be fine. If dents create low spots, seams split or downspouts are crushed, new sections are usually the better choice. Dented gutters also mean the roof should be checked.
Do gutters affect my foundation?
They can. Water that spills over or drains next to the slab can soak and erode the soil around it. Downspouts that release water away from the house help keep the ground around the foundation more consistent through heavy rain and dry spells.
Is it smart to replace gutters during a roof replacement?
Often yes. During a roof replacement, the drip edge and fascia are already exposed, so damaged boards can be fixed and the gutters set to match the new roof edge. It avoids disturbing new shingles later to change the gutters.
