5-Inch Senox Seamless Aluminum Gutter Installation | Same-Day Rear Run With Oversized 3x4 Downspouts
This West Lake Hills project added 5-inch Senox seamless aluminum gutters to the back of a single-story home. Seamless aluminum was the right call here because it fights the leaks and rust that plague sectioned gutters in Central Texas storms. We paired the run with oversized 3-by-4-inch downspouts to handle heavy rain fast. Concrete splash blocks finish the system and protect the limestone-heavy soil around the slab.

The homeowner reached out through our Local Service Ads listing on April 13, 2026. The initial conversation centered on the back of the home, where runoff had no gutter to catch it.
By April 16 we had moved into the prospect stage and inspected the rear elevation. The crew found water sheeting off the roof edge and eroding the soil along the foundation on the limestone-heavy lot.
We laid out a plan for a 5-inch Senox seamless aluminum run with 3-by-4-inch downspouts and concrete splash blocks. The homeowner approved the scope on April 23, 2026.
The crew formed the seamless gutter on site and hung it with proper pitch on May 14, 2026. Downspouts were tied in, flow was tested, and splash blocks were set at each outlet, all in a single day.
The rear gutter system was invoiced and completed the same day, May 14, 2026. A final walkthrough confirmed water now drains cleanly away from the slab, and the job closed out on June 15, 2026.
We installed 5-inch Senox seamless aluminum gutters across the back of a single-story home in Valbella, West Lake Hills, TX. The full run went up in one day and now moves roof runoff away from the foundation.
The back of the house had no gutter coverage, so every hard rain dumped water straight along the slab. In West Lake Hills, that runoff hits limestone-heavy soil that drains slowly and shifts over time. Adding a proper rear run stops water from pooling where it can do the most damage.
When the crew walked the rear elevation, the roof edge was dropping water in a straight sheet during storms. There was already a visible wear line in the ground below the eave where soil had started to erode. That kind of splashback is easy to miss until you see it during a real Central Texas downpour, but it slowly undercuts the slab and feeds moisture toward the foundation. The fix was straightforward: catch the water at the edge, carry it to a controlled drop point, and release it well clear of the house. We measured the run so the gutter pitched correctly toward the downspout locations, which is the part most DIY installs get wrong.
We chose 5-inch Senox seamless aluminum for this job. Seamless gutter is formed as one continuous piece on site, so there are no mid-run joints to crack or leak when the metal expands in 100-plus-degree summer heat. Aluminum also shrugs off the rust that plagues older steel systems around here.
Because this was a focused rear-only run, the whole system went up in a single day on May 14. The crew formed the gutter on site, hung it with proper pitch, and connected the downspouts before setting the splash blocks. No return trips, no leftover mess.
The finished system pulls water off the back roof and drops it a safe distance from the house. That protects the foundation from the constant wet-dry cycle that stresses slabs on limestone soil. It also keeps the rear grade from washing out during hail-season storms.
If you're planning other exterior upgrades, gutters pair well with roofing and siding work while crews are already on site. You can see our full gutter service through Austin Pro.
This rear-only run was completed in one day, from forming to splash blocks. Larger, full-perimeter systems take longer, but a focused single-elevation job is often a same-day project.
The larger downspout carries more water per second, which matters during the intense bursts common to Central Texas storms. That extra capacity helps the gutter drain before it overflows.
This job fell in the $2,000 to $5,000 range, which is typical for a single-elevation seamless gutter run with downspouts and splash blocks. Full-home systems cost more since there's more linear footage to cover.
Yes. Seamless aluminum resists rust and handles the heat expansion and hail that older sectioned systems struggle with. Clearing cedar pollen and leaf debris once or twice a year keeps them draining well.
