The Standard We Work To

Rendering: a hidden hanger bracket screwed through an aluminum gutter into the fascia

West Austin Gutters is a gutter installation company serving the Austin metro. Texas has no state license for gutter installers, so we’d rather show you how we work than ask you to take our word for it. Here is the standard every job is held to.

We measure on site

No quote from a satellite photo or a phone call. We measure every eave that needs a gutter, note the roof pitch and valleys, and look at where water goes on the ground today. We also check the fascia, the soffit and the slope of the ground next to the slab. Those decide whether a gutter will actually fix the problem.

Written, itemized quotes

Quotes are free, written and itemized after we measure on site.

Every quote lists linear feet, gutter size and material, hanger type, the number and size of downspouts, and where each one discharges. Fascia repair, guards and buried drainage are separate lines. You can compare it line by line with anyone else’s. The cost guide shows what to compare.

Gutters sized for Austin rainfall

Austin storms drop a lot of water in a short time. We size gutters and downspouts from roof area, pitch and NOAA Atlas 14 rainfall data for Austin, not a national rule of thumb.

Water goes away from the foundation and not onto your neighbor

Each downspout gets a discharge plan before installation. Water should leave your slab and land somewhere that can take it. Texas Water Code §11.086 bars diverting surface water in a way that damages a neighbor’s property, so we don’t aim downspouts at the property line. See downspouts and drainage.

Photos before and after

We photograph the existing gutters, fascia and problem spots before work starts, and the finished system after. You get the photos. If we find rotted fascia, you see it before we replace it. If a repair makes more sense than a new system, the photos show you why.

No deductible games

After a hail or wind claim, we document gutter damage for your insurer and quote the work. We don’t waive, rebate or “cover” deductibles. Texas Business & Commerce Code §27.02 prohibits it without the insurer’s consent. More on hail and storm damage.

What we don’t do

  • Electrical work. No hardwired heat cables, no wiring.
  • Roofing. We work on gutters and the parts right next to them: drip edge, gutter apron, fascia and soffit. If your roof needs work, get it done first.
  • Tree work. Hire an arborist for branches over the roof.
