Why 6-inch gutters are our standard

Summerville homes regularly deal with sudden downpours, steep roof sections, long gutter runs, and valleys that concentrate water. A larger gutter system gives the roofline more capacity and gives the downspouts more room to move water away from the home.

Better performance with gutter guards

Gutter guards work best when the gutter underneath has enough capacity. That is one reason we focus on 6-inch and larger systems for new installations and replacement work.

Our standard: 6-inch gutters and larger only. We recommend the gutter size and downspout layout based on roof volume, roof pitch, valleys, fascia condition, and drainage needs.
