Q: Do icicles mean bad gutters?

• <div><p>Icicles don&rsquo;t necessarily mean that your gutters are bad. However, they do cause major issues for your gutters. For example, the weight of the ice in your gutters can rip them off the house completely.</p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of seamless gutters over traditional ones?

• <div><p>Fewer joints mean less leaking, better aesthetics, and reduced maintenance.</p></div>

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: Do metal roofs need different gutters than other roof types?

• <div><p>While you don't technically need different gutters for metal roofs than you do for other types of roofs, most metal roofs use a half-round or K-style gutter system. On top of that, your gutters will need more brackets than homes that have shingle roofs since the gutters won&rsquo;t fit as flush against the fascia as they would against traditional roofing systems, where they&rsquo;re installed to the roof deck.</p></div>
