5-Inch vs. 6-Inch Gutters: Which Is Right for Your Long Island Home?

At Fresh & Clean Home Services, we often get asked: What’s the difference between 5" and 6" gutters? Here’s a quick guide to help you decide.

• 5-Inch Gutters are the standard for most Long Island homes. They’re budget-friendly, low-profile, and perfect for handling average rainfall and standard roof sizes.

• 6-Inch Gutters offer up to 40% more capacity—great for larger roofs, steep slopes, or homes in areas with heavy rain or lots of trees. They also reduce the risk of overflow and clogs with larger downspouts.

Our Recommendation

• Choose 5" gutters for typical homes in Nassau or Suffolk County with moderate weather.

• Upgrade to 6" gutters if your home has a large or steep roof, or you're dealing with heavy rain, leaves, or debris.
