Gutter sizes for residential homes: find the right fit for your house  

Choosing the right gutter sizes for residential homes is more important than most homeowners realize. At Superb Gutters & Roofing, we help families across the Rio Grande Valley protect their homes from water damage with properly sized gutter systems.

Whether you live in Brownsville, McAllen, or Harlingen, your home’s roof size, pitch, and rainfall exposure all affect what gutter size is best for you.

Most homes in the Rio Grande Valley use one of these two sizes:

• 5-inch K-style gutters – Ideal for smaller or average-sized homes

• 6-inch K-style gutters – Best for larger roofs or homes with steep pitches

Some custom homes may require half-round gutters or oversized downspouts, depending on architectural design and rainfall volume.

Homes in the Rio Grande Valley face unique challenges. From tropical storms to sudden downpours, your gutter system must be ready. That’s why we offer:

• Seamless aluminum gutters in 5" and 6"

• Custom downspout sizing

• Leaf guard options for long-term performance

• Local installation teams that understand the climate
