Almost every expensive interior repair we get called to started outside and was visible for a season before it came through. Blocked gutters overflow against fascia. Failed exterior caulk lets water behind trim. A cracked soffit gives wildlife a way into the attic.
Gutters matter more here than the rainfall totals suggest, because North Texas rain does not arrive gently. It arrives as an inch in twenty minutes, and a gutter that is three-quarters full of last autumn’s leaves simply sheets over the front edge and dumps that water at the foundation — which, on expansive clay, is precisely where you least want it. Gutter maintenance here is foundation maintenance.
We also handle fascia and soffit repair, exterior caulking and paint, pressure washing, fence and gate repair, and the general list of things that have been waiting for a free weekend since spring.
Questions
Common questions
How often do gutters need cleaning in North Texas?
Twice a year suits most homes here — late autumn once the leaves are down, and again in spring. Under mature trees, more often. The tell is water sheeting over the front edge of the gutter during a downpour instead of running to the downspout.
Why do clogged gutters matter so much on a slab foundation?
Because the soil around a North Texas slab is expansive clay, and clay moves with moisture. An overflowing gutter concentrates a great deal of water at one point along the foundation, which drives uneven movement, which is what shows up indoors as cracked drywall and doors that will not latch. Keeping gutters clear and downspouts discharging well away from the house is one of the cheapest things you can do for a foundation.
Do you repair fascia and soffit damage?
Yes — rotted fascia behind a failed gutter, damaged soffit, and the openings that let squirrels and birds into an attic. Rot repair means cutting back to sound timber rather than covering it, then sealing and painting so the repair does not simply start again.
