6-INCH GUTTERS
6-inch gutters provide the extra capacity Florida homes need for heavy rainfall. Pro Specialty Services installs oversized seamless gutters that handle the most intense tropical downpours.
Expert 6-Inch Gutters Services in Lake County
6-inch gutters hold 40% more water than standard 5-inch gutters—a critical advantage in Florida's climate where afternoon thunderstorms dump inches of rain in minutes. When standard gutters overflow, your home's foundation, landscaping, and siding pay the price.
At Pro Specialty Services, we recommend 6-inch gutters for most Florida homes. The slightly higher cost is insignificant compared to the improved performance and reduced overflow during heavy rain events.
The difference between 5-inch and 6-inch gutters becomes obvious during intense rain. While 5-inch gutters may overflow and sheet water down your walls, properly sized 6-inch gutters handle the load and protect your home.
Compare 6-inch gutters to standard seamless gutters and half-round styles. Learn about gutter guards to keep them flowing.
Why 6-Inch Gutters Are Right for Florida
Rainfall intensity is extreme. Florida regularly sees 2-3 inches per hour during thunderstorms. Standard gutters designed for moderate rainfall simply can't keep up. The overflow runs behind the gutter, rotting fascia and damaging siding.
Roof area compounds the problem. Modern homes with large roof areas collect massive amounts of water. A 2,000 square foot roof in a 2-inch per hour rain delivers over 2,000 gallons—and all that water hits your gutters.
Downspout capacity must match. We size downspouts appropriately for 6-inch gutters—typically 3x4 inch rather than standard 2x3 inch. The complete system handles Florida's challenging rainfall.

Common Questions
For Florida homes, almost always yes. The additional cost is typically 10-15% more than 5-inch gutters—minimal compared to the improved performance and avoided water damage.
Most homeowners don't notice the size difference once installed. The improvement in function during heavy rain far outweighs any subtle aesthetic difference. They actually look quite proportional on most homes.
Existing 2x3 downspouts can be a bottleneck for 6-inch gutters. We typically recommend upgrading to 3x4 downspouts when installing 6-inch gutters for best performance.
Cleaning costs are similar. In fact, the larger opening makes cleaning slightly easier, and the increased capacity means minor debris accumulation affects flow less.
If your 5-inch gutters are in good condition and not overflowing, they may be adequate. If you're experiencing overflow during heavy rain or your roof is large, upgrading to 6-inch makes sense.
Yes, 6-inch gutters require 6-inch hangers. We use heavy-duty hangers rated for the additional weight and spaced appropriately for proper support.
