[quote=Anonymous]I'm a registered architect (and my dad was a GC whom I built houses with while I was in high school & college). depending on the roof size & pitch the cost difference between 5" or 6" gutters may be only $1000 to $1500 dollars. Not much of a cost difference. And when you compare that with the improved roof drainage, less maintenance, etc. its well worth upgrading to 6". You'll also need to make sure the downspouts are upsized, and that there's proper "fall" or drainage to each downspout. I'm not sold on the gutter guards either. Many of these decisions are common sense so take the time to investigate what work will be done & what materials will be used. Don't feel pressured to make quick decisions. www.loganarchitectsatelier.com[/quote]
