Three main types of gutters include half-round, k-style, and box gutters. Box gutters are especially popular for commercial buildings and flat-roofed buildings. Let's discuss what box gutters are and what advantage they have over other eavestrough styles.

While a smaller commercial building might be able to get away with 5-inch box gutters, we generally recommend that you start by looking at the 6-inch sizes. This is because commercial buildings tend to have more water built up on them than residential buildings, meaning the gutters need to be larger.

An average home requires 100 to 300 square feet of gutter. The average small business will have between one and four jobs each month. This averages out to a net profit (before material costs are taken into consideration) of anywhere between $4,800 and $475,200 in a single year.

Aluminum gutters are known for their robustness and ability to withstand various weather conditions. They are less likely to warp or crack, making them a more long-lasting option. On the other hand, vinyl gutters may not hold up as well in extreme weather, and they are susceptible to warping in hot climates.
