One Stop For Rain Gutter Installations & Repairs

Aluminum is the metal we most often work with, and with good reason – it offers a lot of quality for the price. Aluminum rain gutters won't rust like those made from certain other materials, which is a big plus for those looking for long-lasting roof protection. They're not the cheapest around, but they're close – very few homeowners can't afford a solid aluminum gutter system. Our clients tend to ask us for aluminum when looking to replace their current damaged ones, or if they're lower-quality ones (vinyl) aren't doing the job.

We install and repair aluminum ones of varying thickness, from sub-.027 ones designed for sunny areas with little rain to 0.32+ ones meant to endure a lot of punishment from heavy rainfall, and hail. While they probably won't last for a lifetime, they can easily hold up for several decades before needing a replacement. Aside from the price and lack of rust, they are also the homeowner's favorite because they can be painted and therefore don't have to deviate from the home's overall appearance.

We are also ready to assist you with the semi-regular painting maintenance, which is necessary to preserve their enamel but is frequently neglected by homeowners who don't have the time or knowledge for the task.

Galvanized rain gutters are generally thought of as heavy-duty – they are installed in places where other gutters would falter under the weather conditions. Being made from galvanized steel, they are exceptionally tough and can hold their own against multiple harsh winters. In line with their durability, they are also immune to so-called thermal warping. Even ones that are considered to be made from quality materials can become warped in constant heat, or when environmental conditions change rapidly. If your area has very hot summers or experiences frequently-shifting weather, galvanized steel is a great choice to consider. They are less likely to get damaged by a ladder leaning against them. 

They are easier to inspect for cracks and rust – any home owner can perform regular checks without fear of damaging them. Galvanized steel gutters are generally more resistant, but they also require more frequent examination to see whether the protective zinc layer guarding against rust has been compromised. This type of steel is also notably heavier than most other materials and therefore harder to install correctly, especially if you're going for them – don't worry, though, as Boerne Rain Gutter Pros will have them up and running on your home in no time.

If you're aiming for looks, not even painted aluminum come close to the copper's unmistakably beautiful shine. Because they are a bit on the pricey side, we most often work with copper rain gutters on larger or more expensive homes, as well as those with a specific exterior design. Aside from appearance, copper also boasts more longevity than most if not all other gutter materials – properly installed and maintained ones can easily last longer than a person's lifetime, making them a great investment for family homes that are passed down through generations. While appearance is the copper gutter's forte, it can also act as a downside, as the metal can sometimes adopt a greenish hue and lose some of its shine over time.

This doesn't take away from the gutter's efficiency, but it's worth noting that the appearance is more difficult to restore because of the material's high cost. Copper are somewhat similar to those made from galvanized steel in that both require an expert hand for installation and repairs, even more so if you're aiming for seamless ones. Like with any material, we guarantee that our installation of copper rain gutters on your structure will be performed swiftly and in accordance with the highest standards of our profession.

Home owners that are most concerned with aesthetics will have us install half-round gutters instead of regular K-style ones. While half-rounds have been around longer, K-style has been adopted as the standard due to its higher volume capacity, with half-round gutters becoming mostly an appearance choice. Because they lack depth in the absence of a K-shape, they can't handle as much water and are therefore rarely optimal in areas with a lot of rainfall, as this can cause water to overflow and reduce the gutter's effectiveness. Despite this, half-round gutters can still prove more than sufficient in places with small or moderate amounts of rainfall. Some home owners also prefer half-round gutters over K-style ones as their shape makes them easier to clean.

Most clients that choose copper as their material also prefer them over K-style ones due to their complementary appearance. Aside from copper, the half-rounders we work with can also be made from aluminum and steel, and are available in both seamed and continuous editions.

Box gutters are no longer seen as frequently as they were in the past, having been replaced by either K-style or half-round ones on many structures. Still, they serve their purpose – they provide protection in trickier places and are concealed as part of the roof. Clients that don't want any alterations done to the appearance of their roof will have us install box gutters and make them near-indiscernible from the rest of the roof, as opposed to the known 'hanging' appearance of K-styles.

They are also the ideal choice for small spaces between two surfaces of equal height, or one that is slightly above the other – their shape and volume capacity let them fit seamlessly just about anywhere.

Because wood is sometimes prominent as a material when making them, they are more susceptible to external factors than other gutter types, and require that the home owner regularly inspects the wood's integrity. Nonetheless, they are easy to clean and repair, and their concealed appearance makes them the only choice for home or building owners that

You wouldn’t want to dam up the end of a river if it had the potential to overflow and cause harm to the surrounding area. The same goes for your gutter system, once you’ve invested the money in a solid solution to control the flow of water, you’ll also want to keep it flowing far from the side and foundation of your home.
 
For a more stylish option to a down spout, many homeowners choose rain chains, which acts in the same manner as a traditional downspout and helps to continue the flow of water from the roof to a designated area in your yard. These attractive alternatives also add character and are a conversational piece with visitors, friends and family. 

One of the biggest pet peeves for homeowners is when they see or hear the words “clean the gutters” as part of their to-do list. The whole process can be tedious, a little gross and potentially dangerous depending on the size, shape and pitch of your roof. Yet, cleaning this important piece of your roofing system is critical to protecting your home and assets.
 
Without it, then debris and leaves can cause damage to your investment. When leaves to stick the bottom, it can cause clogs and impede the flow of water. When this happens, rainwater can either overflow the width and height of the channels, or get stuck in a specific spot for a long time and increase the potential for rusting, holes and other structural damages that will consequently impact your home.
 
This is why the Boerne Rain Gutter Pros have the perfection solution to your chore list. We recommend that every homeowner, landlord or business owner consider a leaf protection guards to keep your gutters free from falling leaves, twigs, nests and other rubbish.
