San Antonio averages more than 30 inches of rain each year, most of it delivered in sudden downpours that can overwhelm poorly designed drainage systems. A high-performing rain gutter package is no longer a nice-to-have—it is mission-critical to protect slabs, landscaping, and siding from costly water intrusion. CountBricks equips residential contractors with a smarter, faster way to specify, price, and install rain gutters that stand up to South Texas weather.

Residential-Focused Cost Libraries
Because we specialize in single-family and multifamily construction, our cost database is calibrated for local San Antonio suppliers. Aluminum K-style, half-round copper, or seamless steel—CountBricks keeps regional pricing current so your bids hit the mark without padding or surprises.
1. K-Style (5" or 6")—the go-to for most homes, balancing capacity and curb appeal.
2. Half-Round—historically styled residences or custom builds seeking a premium look.
3. Box Gutter—modern architecture that hides the gutter line within the fascia.
CountBricks designers match profile, size, and mounting hardware with roof pitch and rainfall intensity, then push final specs to the field crew through our mobile dashboard.
Aluminum—lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and the most budget-friendly.
Galvanized Steel—added strength for large fascia runs, requires periodic coating.
Copper—luxury aesthetic and 50-year life span, ideal for high-end custom homes.
• All materials can be modeled inside your CountBricks blueprint viewer.
• Swap materials on the fly and watch your budget update instantly.
• Slope gutters a minimum of 1/4" every 10' toward downspouts to prevent standing water.
• Anchor hangers every 24" in areas prone to wind uplift.
• Seal joints with high-grade silicone compatible with the selected metal.
• Add splash blocks or underground drains to carry runoff away from foundations.
The real power of CountBricks emerges when gutter data flows into the broader estimate and schedule. Once the gutter package is approved, tasks auto-populate your Gantt chart, labor is assigned to the correct cost code, and purchase orders are pushed to preferred suppliers—all without re-keying a single number.
• Plan for leaf protection even if the homeowner declines now; retrofits cost more later.
• Use darker gutter colors on south-facing elevations to mask future staining.
• Specify larger downspouts (3"x4") to handle torrential summer storms.
• Request factory pre-finished metals to eliminate onsite painting delays.
• Leverage CountBricks voice capture during final punch to generate warranty documents automatically.
1. Biannual inspection—spring and fall.
2. Clean debris, check seals, and tighten fasteners.
3. Archive photos in CountBricks.com/portfolio for homeowner records.
A 48-home development on San Antonio’s north side required a value-engineered gutter solution that met HOA color standards and strict drainage codes. CountBricks produced AI takeoffs for all elevations in two hours, shaving three days off the original estimating schedule. On installation, field crews accessed digital layouts via tablets, reducing miscuts by 18%. Final inspections passed on the first attempt, saving the developer $9,400 in re-inspections and material waste.

Gutters seldom exist in isolation. Fascia trim, roofing drip edge, and landscaping drainage all interact. CountBricks synchronizes these scopes so that decisions in one area do not create hidden costs elsewhere.
• Choose your gutter profile inside the same interface used for roof shingle selection.
• Adjust fascia dimensions and watch gutter hanger counts update automatically.
• Generate a single purchase order covering roof, gutter, and downspout metals to secure bulk pricing.
A homeowner requested new architectural shingles and upgraded gutters. Traditional workflows would have produced two separate estimates from different trades. Using CountBricks, the contractor captured a voice memo describing both scopes. The platform built a unified estimate in under ten minutes. Labor overlap was identified, reducing crew days by 1.5 and saving the client $1,250 while boosting the contractor’s margin.
CountBricks stores every linear foot, hanger type, and downspout location in your project history. When homeowners call for additions—such as solar panel brackets that penetrate gutters—you already have the exact material specs to prevent warranty conflicts. Simply pull the archived data from CountBricks.com/services, create a change order with one tap, and the updated invoice is in the client’s inbox before the ladder comes off the truck.
