Q: What is the most common gutter size?

• <div><p>The standard size for residential gutters is 5 inches. Some houses opt for 6-inch gutters to stand against heavy rain since they can hold significantly more water. Five-inch gutters are 3.5 inches deep, and 6-inch gutters are 3.75 inches deep. If you have an all-tile or all-metal roof, you&rsquo;ll need at least 6-inch-wide gutters. </p></div>

Q: Are heated gutters more difficult to maintain?

• <div><p>Heated gutters are significantly easier to maintain than standard gutters. While you will have to check to make sure they&rsquo;re functioning properly and aren&rsquo;t accumulating leaves and other tree debris, you will never have to worry about ice dams, icicle formation, or related gutter damage and repairs, which can get expensive. Heated gutters will require an upfront investment, but it might very well be worth it for the time and potential money you&rsquo;ll save down the road on gutter maintenance.</p></div>

Q: Does replacing gutters add value to your home?

• <div><p>Although installing or replacing gutters doesn&rsquo;t usually add directly to the value of your home, it can help maintain the value of your home by preventing water damage from overflowing or leaking. Aside from the practical preventative maintenance, a neat, clean new gutter system can certainly add to your home&rsquo;s curb appeal.</p></div>

Q: Should rain gutters be level?

• <div><p>Rain gutters should be level from front to back to prevent spillage as water runs from one side to the other. Horizontally, rain gutters should not be level. A slope of at least a 1/4-inch per 10 feet is recommended from the high end of a gutter to the downspout.</p></div>
