Seasonal leaves + light freeze = overflow + ice risk. Here’s the fast version—then grab the full breakdown:

What “A+” looks like: seamless aluminum (5" or 6"), correct slope, 3×4" downspouts on big/steep roofs, tight hanger spacing, smart outlet placement, extensions away from the foundation, and optional micro-mesh guards.

Price snapshot: ~$4,000+ for a typical eavestrough-only replacement. Soffit & fascia cost extra per linear foot. Full system (eavestrough + soffit + fascia) often lands near $12,000 depending on size/complexity.

5" vs 6": 6" + 3×4" downs move ~40–50% more water—worth it for large planes, heavy rain, or lots of trees.

Cold-climate note: Ice dams are a building-science problem; pair drainage fixes with air-sealing, insulation, and ventilation.
