CUSTOM GUTTERS
Residential & Commercial
Rain gutters are the long, hollow devices attached to the roof edge. Their primary purpose is to catch rainwater and direct it away from the foundation. For a home or commercial structure to be complete, it needs a gutter system to function properly.
There are three most common profiles, and there are size options within each profile. Gutters can also be produced in most colors to fit the appearance of your home or business.
Let’s talk about your options!
Rain gutters are the long, hollow devices attached to the roof edge. Their primary purpose is to catch rainwater and direct it away from the foundation.
Homes and commercial structures need a properly functioning rain gutter system.
K-Style Gutters
K-Style is the most common profile in the United States. They resemble crown molding, a clean aesthetic that most residential homes prefer. They come in 5-9″ sizes.
Residential homes most commonly use 5″ and 6″ k-style gutters.
The 7″ and 8″ sizes are common in commercial projects. They’re also common in residential homes in the south because they see high torrential rainfalls.
The 9″ size is all commercial. Only serious projects with the great watershed and large roof square footages use the 9″ size.
Box Gutters
Box gutters are common in commercial projects like restaurants. They are also growing in popularity with some modern industrial homes because they offer an attractive square appearance.
They have a traditional box shape with a 1” lip on the top front and come in sizes between 5″ and 8″ depending on the structure and amount of watershed.
European box gutters are a new style gaining popularity. They differ from traditional because they are smooth on all sides and don’t have the 1″ lip on the top front.
Half-Round Gutters
We also refer to half-round gutters as half-moon or circle. They are absolutely beautiful on the right house! Their inside surface is smooth, which allows water to move extremely fast with more resistance towards the outlet. They come in 6″ and 8″ options.
They attach with a bracket (hanger) that’s mounted to the fascia. The half-round gutter sits down inside the brackets and lock in place. There are also external brackets that give a more classic appearance. I typically recommend these for farmhouse-style homes.

Gutter Options
Gutters are made in various materials – aluminum, steel, zinc, Galvalume, and copper.
For aluminum and steel, we seal them from the inside, while we solder the copper, zinc, and other style metals.
We create outlets so water can escape and flow down through the downspout. Outlets consist of 2×3” or 3×4” oval or rectangular shapes. Some companies punch an “X” in the metal which gives it 4 flanges to attach to.
Gutter Cleaning & Maintenance
Gutters will need seasonal cleaning, especially as fall comes around. It doesn’t matter which profile, size, or material gutter you have, they will clog in the right environment with leaf debris, sticks, branches, or plant nuts/fruit.
During heavy rains, rainwater will fill your gutters and begin pouring over the sides. This adds a lot of weight which could damage your system, house, or yourself. Going up a ladder or onto your roof is dangerous and avoidable, especially while it’s raining.
We commonly add leaf guards to gutter systems to prevent natural debris from collecting in your gutters or clogging the downspouts.
Installed new gutters and downspouts at our home and did a fantastic job. Quality is 100%. On time and couldn’t be happier. I recommend them.
