When it comes to gutters, size matters — and the wrong size could cost you thousands in water damage repairs. Too small, and your gutters overflow during heavy rain. Too big, and you’re paying for capacity you’ll never use.
At Gutter Helmet of Southeast Michigan, we make sure your new gutters are sized perfectly to protect your home from Michigan’s toughest weather from summer thunderstorms to winter snowmelt.
When it comes to residential gutters, most homeowners in Southeast Michigan end up choosing either a 5-inch or 6-inch system. Both work well, but the right choice for you depends on your home’s size, roof pitch, and how much water you need to manage.
6-Inch Gutters
If you have a standard-sized home with an average roof, 5-inch gutters are probably all you need. They’re the most common option for a reason — they handle moderate rainfall with ease, they look great, and they’re budget-friendly. Plus, they work perfectly with our Gutter Helmet protection system, so you can keep leaves and debris out without constant cleaning.
If your roof is larger, steeper, or you’ve had problems with overflow in the past, you might want to consider stepping up to 6-inch gutters. They hold about 40% more water than 5-inch systems, making them a great choice for heavy rain, rapid snowmelt, or homes with long, complex rooflines. In Michigan’s unpredictable weather, that extra capacity can make a big difference.
Not every home needs oversized gutters, but there are times when they’re the smart choice. If your roof is particularly large or steep, the water runs off faster and in greater volume — which means a bigger gutter helps keep up. If you’ve ever noticed your gutters overflowing during a storm, or if your home has long rooflines and multiple valleys that channel water into one spot, a larger gutter can prevent costly water damage.
Bigger gutters can also help protect your landscaping. Instead of water pouring out and washing away your flower beds, patios, or walkways, a properly sized system will direct the flow safely away from your home. And if you’re not sure which size is best, don’t worry — our free inspection will give you a clear answer, with zero guesswork.
