Why We Install Only 6-Inch Gutters in Pittsburgh

We choose 6-inch gutters for every home—big or small—because they simply perform better in our climate:

  • Hold significantly more water than 5-inch gutters

  • Larger downspouts = far fewer clogs

  • Better for heavy Pittsburgh rainstorms

  • Reduce ice buildup and freeze-over issues

  • Look more substantial and modern

Even smaller ranch homes benefit from the increased capacity and reliability.


Common Gutter Problems We See in Pittsburgh

Most issues come from aging, cheaply installed, or seamed gutters:

  • ? Seams splitting from expansion and contraction

  • ? Frequent overflow due to undersized gutters

  • ? Clogs from trees and smaller downspout openings

  • ? Pulling away due to ice dams and heavy snow

  • ⚙ Spike-and-ferrule systems coming loose

  • ? Water damaging fascia and soffit

Seamless systems eliminate seams entirely and dramatically reduce failures.


One Misconception Homeowners Have About Gutter Pricing

Many homeowners assume gutters are inexpensive to replace. In reality, the cost includes:

  • Licensed & insured labor working at height

  • High-grade aluminum

  • On-site seamless fabrication

  • Proper disposal of old materials

  • Hidden hangers for strength and aesthetics

  • Experienced installers ensuring correct pitch & spacing

Cheap quotes usually mean thinner metal, smaller 5” gutters, or seams that will eventually leak.


The Big Mistake People Make When Choosing a Gutter Contractor

Far too often, homeowners choose the cheapest option, not realizing:

  • They may be getting 5-inch gutters

  • Material may be thin, low-gauge aluminum

  • Some installers still use seamed gutters

  • Downspouts may be undersized

  • Installers may skip hangers or space them too far apart

These shortcuts cause problems within the first year—and homeowners end up paying twice.
