Residential
Gutter Replacement

Commercial gutters often have a different set of requirements, based on city or county building codes. Seamless gutter materials can also be used in commercial applications, though the sizes are generally 6-inch or 8-inch.

Box gutters are also common in commercial applications, as the box shape allows a higher volume of water to flow more freely and become dispersed more quickly. The size of the downspout is equally as important when determining the best gutter for your building. The smaller 6-inc gutters will generally use the 3” x 4” downspout and the larger 8-inch gutter will likely use a 4” x 5” downspout.

If you have scuppers to help drain the water from your roof, you will also need a leader head at the top of the downspout. This part of the roof drainage system helps catch larger amounts of water and funnel it into the downspout. Depending upon the volume of water flow off of your roof, you will likely want to install the leader head high enough above the scupper so that water is forced into the downspout and is not able to rush completely over the top of your drainage system and cause damage below.
