The gutter system Houston homes actually need.
Seamless 6″ aluminum gutters, hidden hangers, oversized downspouts, and a lifetime warranty. Built for the storms this city throws at your house — engineered by roofers who fix the damage bad gutters cause.

When gutters fail, everything downstream fails with them.
Water is the number one enemy of your house. Cheap gutters, wrong sizing, or clogged sections don’t just look bad — they push water where it doesn’t belong. Here’s what we see every week on damage inspections.
Rotted fascia & soffit
Overflow soaks the wood behind your gutter. Paint bubbles, wood softens, and repair costs run into the thousands.
Foundation cracks
Water pooling at the drip line saturates soil, expands clay, and pressures your slab. Cracks in Houston homes usually start here.
Interior water damage
Once fascia goes, water finds its way into wall cavities and attic space. Then you’re paying for drywall, insulation, and mold remediation.
Landscaping erosion
Downspouts dumping at the wall wash out beds, kill grass, and stain siding. Every rainstorm makes it worse.
Most gutters weren’t built for this city.
Harris County pulls in over 50 inches of rain a year — and delivers it in short, violent bursts. NOAA’s Atlas 14 puts our 100-year, 1-hour peak at 15.3 inches per hour. That’s the storm your gutters need to survive without overflowing.
The standard 5″ gutter that most builders spec? It can’t move that water fast enough. The seams leak. The hangers pull loose. And when Harris County dumps 8 inches in an afternoon, your fascia takes the hit.
Every part, sized for Houston. Not for the catalog.
We fabricate on-site, install with hidden hangers 24–30″ apart, and pair the whole system with oversized downspouts and micromesh protection. Here’s what goes on your house — and why.
Seamless 6″ K-style aluminum
Fabricated on your driveway to the exact length of your roofline. No factory 10-foot sticks butted together with sealant that fails in 3 years. One continuous piece per run.
- Profile6″ K-style
- Material.027″ aluminum
- SeamsNone (seamless)
- Color options27 baked enamel
Hidden hangers, 24–30″ apart
Concealed hangers screwed directly into fascia, 24 to 30 inches apart depending on the run and load — not the 32″ or 36″ most crews use. More anchor points means the system holds under load without sagging.
- Spacing24–30″ apart
- FastenerStainless screw
- Visible from groundNo
- Load rating>250 lb/section
Oversized 3×4″ downspouts
Standard 2×3″ downspouts handle 600 sq ft of roof each. Ours handle 1,200. That’s the difference between water moving and water backing up during a July thunderstorm.
- Size3″ × 4″
- Capacity~1,200 sq ft each
- ExtensionsIncluded at grade
- Splash blocksStandard
Three engineering choices that keep water moving.
This isn’t magic. It’s just doing the math on Houston rainfall and building to it — every job, no exceptions.
Correct pitch, every run
We set a built-in slope of about ¼″ per 10 feet toward the downspout. Water can’t sit and can’t back up — even in a slow drizzle. Most bad installs are dead flat.
Sealed at every junction
Geocel 2320 tri-polymer sealant at every corner and outlet — the pro-grade sealant that stays flexible in Houston heat instead of cracking. Corners are the failure point on 90% of the gutters we replace.
LeafBlaster Pro micromesh
The optional stainless steel screen we install keeps leaves, pine needles, and seed pods out while water pulls straight through. See the guard we spec →
LeafBlaster Pro. The only guard we put on your house.
There are a hundred gutter guards on the market. Foam inserts, plastic screens, snap-on hoods, the ones sold at the big-box store — we’ve pulled them all off, and put better ones on. When homeowners hire us for guard protection, we install LeafBlaster Pro. Here’s why.
Stainless steel micro-mesh, engineered so water goes in and debris doesn’t.
The screen is a fine stainless steel mesh with a patented Z-Bend pattern that lifts leaves, pine needles, seed pods, and roof grit off the surface — while water pulls straight through into the gutter. It’s held rigid by an extruded aluminum frame that won’t sag under Houston oak-leaf loads. Bolted to the gutter’s front lip, then tucked under your shingles so it disappears from the ground.
LeafBlaster Pro sells exclusively through professional contractors — it’s not on shelves, not on Amazon, not something a handyman can pick up at Home Depot. Which is exactly why it works.

Manufacturer warranty on materials and workmanship — stacks on top of our own lifetime install warranty.
Passed ASTM E2768 and ASTM E84-19b. Compliant for wildland-urban interface fire codes.
Patented ridge pattern that lifts debris off the surface for wind and gravity to carry it away.
Approved for rainwater harvesting collection — the mesh is food-grade stainless, no zinc leaching.

We see the damage bad gutters cause. Every week.
DC Pines is a roofing company first. That means when we spec a gutter system, we’re not just selling aluminum — we’re preventing the calls we get every Monday morning after a Sunday storm: rotted decking, soaked insulation, foundation cracks, ceiling stains.
You don’t need someone who installs gutters. You need someone who understands what water does to a house when they don’t work — and builds accordingly.
Four steps from first call to clean install.
