Wood gutters, for homes where tradition matters
Wood gutters are a traditional choice, often for older and historic homes. Send a Quick Quote Online request and we will look for a suitable independent provider who works with wood gutters.
Why homeowners choose wood gutters
Before metal and plastic gutters were common, many homes had wood gutters. Now they are chosen mainly to keep the original look of older and historic houses, where metal or PVC would look out of place. Wood gutters are usually made from rot-resistant woods such as cedar or redwood, and on some houses they are built into the roof edge as box gutters.
Wood needs more care than other gutter materials. It must be kept sealed, oiled or painted, and kept clean so water and leaves do not sit against it. In a humid climate like Houston's, wet debris left in a wood gutter can lead to rot. Owners who choose wood usually accept that regular upkeep comes with it.
Our article on gutter materials for the Gulf Coast compares wood with copper, metal and PVC. If you already have wood gutters that are damaged, see wood gutter repair first.

When wood gutter installation comes up
Wood gutters are usually a deliberate choice rather than the default.
- Restoring a historic or older home to its original details
- Replacing wood gutters that are too rotten to repair
- Matching existing wood gutters on an addition or remodel
- A preference for natural materials on a period-style home
How a wood gutter installation generally goes
A provider will normally start by checking the fascia and roof edge, and by looking at any old gutters so the new profile can match. Wood gutters are heavy, so they are fixed firmly to sound framing. Long runs are made from lengths joined with carefully cut and sealed joints, and the ends and outlets are sealed too.
The inside of the gutter is usually treated with a sealer or oil, and the outside primed and painted or finished. Some homes use metal liners in wood or box gutters to protect the wood, a detail worth discussing if you are restoring a historic house. The gutter is set with a slope to the outlets so water does not sit.
Ask the provider which wood they suggest, how they finish it, how the joints are made, and what upkeep they recommend afterward. Because not every gutter provider works with wood, availability for this service may be more limited. Provider availability depends on your location and the job.
