Most houses in The Villages do not have a steep roof or issues with debris filling up the gutters. I don't see a problem with adding a few downpouts to a 5 inch gutter system. One thing to consider is the overall appearance of the house if you use a larger gutter.

Agree with this. I limited the number of downspouts to keep downspouts from draining onto our expensive driveway. Fewer downspouts means 6 inch is a better choice. Used stripes. Did great job

We bought Jan 2021 and moved full time in Oct 2021. We had Hill's Seamless
Gutters install 6" gutters around our Iris model because it seemed like the right thing to do. By the way, I'd recommend Hill's if you choose to go ahead. However, I currently have some regrets. The houses in my neighborhood are pretty close together and both our neighbors (left and right) have downspouts that drain in the same general area as mine. During heavy rain, we get a lot of water accumulating in those areas and I'm not sure it's a good thing. I'm tempted to remove the long runs of gutters on the sides of the house so that the water distributes more evenly over the length of the roof instead of being focused into two downspouts. If I were you, I wouldn’t rush into anything. Watch what happens on your lot when you get heavy rains and see if there is enough pitch in your lot to make water quickly drain away from where your downspouts would be. |

We didn’t install gutters for 9 years. Then we had some water seepage in our garage. Got that attended to.
Put in 6” gutters with Stipes and so glad we did. With the rainstorms we get in Florida gutters make a lot of sense. |

Maintenance .. NONE BUT we have no leaf trees by our house. Oh well I'm leaving then on since it would only cause me $s to take them off, but my advice is " Why are your doing it" before you do it. |
