Quick answer

Gutter Sizes in Greater Los Angeles, CA: The Brothers That Just Do Gutters Los Angeles forms 5 inch, 6 inch and 7 inch seamless gutters. 5 inch fits most homes, 6 inch handles roughly 40 percent more water for large or steep roofs, and 7 inch is for commercial and very large roof areas. Call (213) 556-3481 or book online.

Seamless gutters come in various sizes. By installing properly sized, seamless aluminum gutters you can protect your home, diverting water safely away from your home before it can do damage.

Size Of Seamless Aluminum Gutters

A smaller width seamless aluminum gutter is commonly used in some areas of the country; however, wider gutters are becoming increasingly popular. Seamless aluminum gutters may also come in even larger sizes, which are typically industrial or commercial-style gutters.

The difference between gutter sizes is the capacity of water they can hold. In cases where you often experience heavy rainfall and/or rainwater is continually overshooting your gutter system, a wider gutter system may be the best for your home.

In addition to climate; the roofline, surface area, and pitch of your roof are important factors in determining which gutter size is appropriate. Interchanging two different sizes of gutter within the same gutter system can also be a cost-effective solution for areas of your home needing higher capacity.

Gutter Sizes & Volume Capacity: Is There a Standard Size?

Breaking the Mold: Reshaping Standard Sizes

The standard size for residential seamless gutters depends largely on your region of the country along with the size and style of your home. Many homeowners are upgrading to 6″, 7″, or even 8″ ‘oversized’ gutters. Though a 6″ gutter is only an inch bigger than a 5″, it can handle 40% more water. In some cases, larger or “oversized” gutters are necessary on your home or a specific portion of your roofline.

Gutter Sizes Questions, Answered

What size gutter do most homes need?

5 inch K-style handles most residential roofs. Large roof planes, steep pitches, tile roofs and heavy downpour areas are better served by 6 inch.

How much more water does a 6 inch gutter carry?

About 40 percent more than 5 inch, with matching larger downspouts. That margin is what keeps a long run from overflowing at the corner.

When is 7 inch used?

Commercial buildings, barns and very large residential roof areas where 6 inch would still overflow.

Do bigger gutters need bigger downspouts?

Yes. Downspouts are the bottleneck, so a 6 inch gutter is paired with 3×4 inch downspouts.
