Residential Gutter Services in Houston, TX
Your gutters have one job. Move water off the roof and away from the foundation. In Houston that job is harder than it sounds, because our rainfall comes in bursts and our soil is shrink-swell clay that punishes any water left standing near the slab. STX Roofing handles the whole gutter system, from custom-fit installation to repair, replacement, and leaf protection. We are a roofing company first, which matters at the drip edge where most gutter and fascia problems actually start.

Why Gutters Matter
More in Houston
A few inches of rain on an average roof produces several thousand gallons of water. All of it has to go somewhere. When the gutter system is undersized, clogged, or pitched wrong, that water dumps at the base of your walls. Clay soil swells when it takes on water and shrinks when it dries, and that cycle is what moves foundations in this region. Gutters are also part of how a roof survives a storm. FEMA guidance on improving gutters and downspouts treats them as roof system components and recommends sizing them for storm runoff, securing them against wind uplift, and extending downspouts farther from the building. Clogged or damaged gutters leave the roof exposed to wind and water damage. Slope matters as much as size. A gutter that is level holds water. Water left in the trough breeds mosquitoes and adds weight. That weight pulls the hangers loose over time.
Our Gutter Services
We handle four things, and each has its own page with the detail. Gutter installation in Houston covers new systems on homes that have none or are getting a full replacement, including trough sizing and downspout placement. Gutter repair in Houston covers sagging runs, leaking joints, loose hangers, and separated downspouts, which is the right call when the system is fundamentally sound. Gutter replacement in Houston covers systems that are rusted, split, undersized, or beyond repair, and is usually done alongside a roof replacement so the drip edge and gutter are integrated correctly. Gutter guards and leaf protection cover homes with heavy pine and oak canopy where cleaning frequency has become the real problem. If you are not sure which one you need, we will tell you after we look. We also handle the fascia and soffit behind the gutter. That wood is where overflow does its damage. Fixing gutters without fixing rotted fascia solves nothing.
Signs Your Gutter System Is Failing
Water sheets over the front lip during ordinary rain. Gutters sag, tilt, or pull away from the fascia. Joints drip or have been caulked more than once. Rust, splits, or dents run along the trough. Paint bubbles or peels on the fascia board behind the gutter. Soil erodes or pools along the drip line. Seedlings sprout in the trough. Downspouts back up or run slowly after a storm. Fascia and soffit repair is often the tell that this has been going on a while. Water overflowing the back of a gutter runs straight down the fascia board, and rotted fascia means new gutter has nothing solid to hang from. We check that before we quote anything. Check the ground too. Splash marks on siding tell you water is coming over the edge. Trenches in the mulch tell you the same thing. Both are visible from the driveway.
Custom-Fit Versus Sectional
We roll-form gutter on site from a continuous coil, so each run comes off the machine as one piece. Sectional gutter sold in ten-foot lengths has a joint every ten feet, and joints are where gutters leak. Custom-fit gutter has joints only at corners and end caps. Sizing is the other decision. Five inch trough with two by three inch downspouts handles most single-story roofs. Six inch trough with three by four inch downspouts moves substantially more water and is usually the better answer on two-story homes, steep pitches, or long runs. We calculate the roof area draining to each run rather than defaulting to whatever the builder installed. Color and gauge matter too. Baked-on finishes hold up better than painted ones in our sun. Heavier gauge resists denting from ladders and falling limbs.
Why Choose STX Roofing
Russell Mullin founded STX Roofing after years working as an insurance adjuster. Water damage claims were a large part of that work, and gutters were behind more of them than most homeowners would guess. We are veteran-owned and based in Huffman. We hold GAF Master Elite and CertainTeed ShingleMaster certifications, carry an A+ rating with the BBB, and are bondable to $750,000. Gutter work carries a two-year warranty. Qualifying residential roof systems carry a lifetime labor warranty backed by Directorii. We do not publish per-foot pricing, because a quote given without a measurement is a guess. Estimates are free except on real estate transaction inspections. We measure the roof, check the fascia, and put the scope in writing before any work starts.
Where We Work
We install and service gutters across Greater Houston and the Lake Houston area. That includes Houston, Huffman, Atascocita, Kingwood, Humble, Crosby, Porter, New Caney, Dayton, Liberty, Baytown, La Porte, Deer Park, Spring, Klein, Tomball, and Magnolia. Tree cover and roof size vary a lot across that footprint. Kingwood and Atascocita have heavy pine canopy, which pushes the conversation toward leaf protection. Newer two-story construction in Spring and Tomball is frequently under-guttered from the builder. Older neighborhoods have original systems that are both undersized and past their service life. Our shop is in Huffman at 25419 FM 2100 Rd. Gutter projects are scheduled rather than same-day, since we form the material on site.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need repair or replacement?
If the trough is sound and the problems are hangers, pitch, or joints, repair is usually the right call. If the metal is rusted, split, or undersized for the roof, replacement is the better investment. We photograph what we find and show you.
What does custom-fit mean?
We form the gutter on site from a continuous coil. Each run comes off the machine as one piece, so there are no joints along its length. Joints remain only at corners, end caps, and downspout outlets.
Should I replace gutters when I replace my roof?
Usually yes, if the gutters are near the end of their life. The drip edge, the first shingle course, and the gutter all meet at the same point, and doing them together means that detail is built correctly instead of worked around.
How often should gutters be cleaned in Houston?
Twice a year is typical, more if you have pine or oak within thirty feet of the roofline. If you are cleaning more than that, leaf protection is worth pricing.
Do gutters affect my foundation?
They can. Concentrated runoff at the base of the wall saturates clay soil, and that soil expands. Extending downspouts away from the house is one of the cheapest things you can do for a slab in this region.
Do you offer free estimates on gutters?
Yes. Inspections and estimates are free except on real estate transaction inspections. We measure before we quote.
Can you match my gutter color to my trim?
Usually. Aluminum coil comes in a wide range of baked-on colors. We bring samples so you can hold them against your fascia and trim before you decide.
