Aluminum gutters
5″ and 6″ aluminum gutter options for residential homes, selected for your roofline, drainage needs and project scope – the practical choice for many St. Michael homes.

Two sizes
Gutter size determines how much water the system can carry before it overflows. The right choice comes from the roof, not a rule of thumb.
A common residential gutter option for homes with a standard roofline and typical drainage needs. A good fit for many single-family homes in St. Michael.
A larger gutter option for homes with higher water flow needs, larger roof areas or more complex drainage demands, where a 5" gutter would be pushed to its limit.
How we size it
The right gutter size depends on roof design, pitch, drainage volume, gutter run length, downspout placement and problem areas around the home.
Problem areas count too. Spots where water already overflows, pools or reaches the foundation tell us a lot about what size and layout your home actually needs.
Why aluminum
Aluminum gutters are what most homeowners choose – a practical, proven option that pairs with 3″x4″ aluminum downspouts and can be fitted with gutter guards.
Choosing aluminum doesn’t mean choosing a standard layout. Each system is still planned around your roofline, water flow and downspout locations.
