In a city where tropical downpours can unload inches of water in minutes, gutters Houston are more than an aesthetic detail—they are a structural safeguard. Without a well-designed gutter system, Houston’s heavy rain quickly erodes soil, floods crawl spaces, and compromises foundations. CountBricks helps homebuilders and remodelers design, estimate, and install gutter solutions that keep properties dry and code compliant.
• Intense Rainfall: Flash storms dump water faster than flat Texas lots can absorb.
• Gulf Humidity: Galvanized steel can rust; aluminum and coated copper resist corrosion.
• Vegetation Debris: Live oaks shed year-round, demanding leaf protection inserts.
• Hurricane Winds: Brackets and hangers must withstand uplift forces of 110+ mph.
1. Voice-Driven Site Walk-Through: Speak measurements on site and watch CountBricks convert them into live gutter takeoffs.
2. Real-Time Material Pricing: Our database feeds Houston-area costs for aluminum K-style, half-round copper, downspouts, hangers, and splash blocks.
3. Automatic Labor Allocation: CountBricks applies local crew rates, factoring fascia repairs or soffit rebuilds when rot is detected.
4. Instant Proposal Drafting: While you confirm colors and profiles, CountBricks generates branded PDFs ready for e-signature.
Aluminum
• Lightweight, rust-proof, and economical
• Accepts factory color coating that resists UV fade
Copper
• Premium curb appeal with natural patina
• Exceptional lifespan—often 50 years or more
Steel
• High strength and dent resistance
• Requires durable coatings to fight coastal corrosion
CountBricks calculates roof area, valley concentration, and rainfall intensity curve based on NOAA data to recommend:
• 5-inch K-style for decks up to 2,500 sq ft
• 6-inch or 7-inch for sprawling ranch roofs or metal panels exceeding 3,500 sq ft
• Downspout spacing every 30-40 ft, adjusted for Houston’s 3-inch-per-hour storm rating
• Screwed Hidden Hangers: Placed every 24 in to resist thermal expansion and hurricane uplift.
• Drip Edge Integration: Prevents capillary action that pushes water behind fascia.
• Expansion Joints: Required every 40 ft on long runs to avoid warping.
• Splash Guard Placement: Stops overshoot at steep metal valleys common in Houston craftsman roofs.

• Aluminum 5-inch K-style: $6–$8 per linear foot installed
• Aluminum 6-inch K-style: $8–$11 per linear foot installed
• Copper half-round: $24–$30 per linear foot installed
• Gutter guards: $4–$6 per linear foot added, with ROI in less than two seasons due to reduced cleaning
• Fascia Replacement: Old cedar trims often rot; CountBricks auto-flags any fascia board line over 10 ft with moisture marks.
• Paint Touch-Ups: Our estimates include primer and exterior paint so homeowners aren’t surprised by a second trip charge.
• Permit Fees: Certain historic districts in the Heights require minor alteration permits, already embedded in CountBricks pricing tables.
• Semi-Annual Cleanouts: Spring pollen and fall oak leaves are clog culprits.
• Camera Inspections: CountBricks field app lets crews upload pictures of seams to your project portal for transparent documentation.
• Seamless Sealer Check: Re-seal every five years with elastomeric compound rated for 120 °F attics.
• Offer next-day install slots that appear automatically in CountBricks scheduler during slower summer weeks
• Bundle rain barrel diverters; homeowners love sustainable add-ons and your margin increases by 18 %
• Use CountBricks mobile to record before/after videos—reduces callbacks by proving slope accuracy
• Pre-prime replacement fascia on the ground to cut ladder time
• Enroll clients in CountBricks annual maintenance plan to secure recurring revenue

When Atlas Developers broke ground on a 3,800 sq ft modern residence in Midtown, they needed a sleek gutter system that matched the sharp fascia lines yet handled torrential rains. Atlas turned to CountBricks for a rapid estimate.
• Blueprint Upload: The superintendent photographed plan sheets, and CountBricks AI traced 312 linear ft of roof edge in under two minutes.
• Material Selection: CountBricks recommended 6-inch box-style aluminum in matte black to echo the home’s steel window frames.
• Cost Accuracy: Live Houston supplier feeds pegged material at $9.45 per foot, beating the legacy bid by 6 % while preserving the architect’s vision.
• Installation Oversight: Our integrated schedule alerted crews of a severe weather watch, prompting rescheduling and preventing half-completed runs from flexing in high wind.
The system diverted 1,300 gallons in the first month, with zero leaks and perfect slope documented via CountBricks drone images. Atlas closed the project five days ahead of their contracted timeline, attributing two days of savings directly to CountBricks automated coordination.
