JMO, similar size house with 5" and they are overwhelmed during a very hard rain. Go 6.
5 vs 6 always must consider the length of gutter and how many downspouts there are.
Use the 3x5 downspouts. Thats where the flow restriction is.
5 inch...6 inch...whatever it takes.
The number of torrential rainstorms (at least in the mid-Atlantic) is increasing exponentially. I'd spend the extra $500.
Same here in the Midwest.....have had two monster rainstorms the last two nights. Have never in my life ever seen as long or as bright a lightning display as last night. (No golf at my club until 1PM this afternoon, then walking only.....)
Other than testing once a month at 10AM, I had never heard the emergency weather sirens go off in my village until the night before last. Scary!
Mother Nature is not getting any kinder!
(For the record, when I re-roofed last summer, I went with the larger gutters.)
When I had my roof replaced a couple years ago I told my roofer that my gutters would overflow during heavy rain. We ended up using the same size 5" gutter but increased the size of the downspouts. Haven't had an overflow since.
LOL here in metro Detroit we are getting a monsoon right now and I am watching my gutters get overwhelmed.
