To determine the right gutter size for your home, we consider ‘The roof-pitch factor’ to calculate the actual surface area of your roof and the length of a common rafter.
1. Roof Pitch: The steepness of your roof affects how much rainfall it collects, influencing the amount of water flowing into the roof’s gutters. This factor is crucial for determining the total square footage of drainage for each gutter.
2. Rainfall Intensity: The capacity of a gutter to handle rainfall depends on the intensity of rainfall. Areas with varying elevations and proximity to bodies of water, such as the river, lakes or the Long Island Sound, may experience different rainfall patterns. It’s essential to assess whether oversized gutters are necessary for your home’s specific conditions. While larger gutters can manage increased water volume, they may not be required for every house.
Our gutter team will start with the numbers, roof pitch, and rainfall intensity from there we will determine the best size gutter system for your home.

Half Round Gutters Frequently Asked Questions
Are there disadvantages to having half round gutters?
Half-round gutters are more difficult to install. They lack a flat surface for easy hanging.
Half-round gutters require custom hangers and brackets to support their unique shape. Their shape can also limit the capacity of water flow they can handle, so certain half-round gutter systems require additional downspouts to prevent overflow during heavy rain.
Benefits of Half Round Gutters

- Aesthetic appeal: Half-round gutters have a classic, timeless look that can enhance the appearance of any home. They are often made from materials like copper or aluminum, which can further add to their visual appeal.
- Durability: Half-round gutters are typically made from sturdy materials like copper, aluminum, or galvanized steel, which makes them resistant to rust, corrosion, and damage from the elements.

Half-Round And K-Style Gutter Installation
Half-Round vs. K-Style Gutters
Half-round and K-style gutters are the two primary types of seamless gutters available. Half-round gutters feature a rounded, curved shape resembling half a circle, while K-style gutters have two flat sides and are shaped like the letter “K” from a side profile.
Half-round gutters are favored for their elegant appearance, making them an excellent choice for classic-style and older homes.
Ultimately, choosing between K-style and half-round gutters boils down to personal preference. Some homeowners prefer the smooth, rounded look of half-round gutters, while others prefer the flat profile of K-style gutters. In New London County, Half-Round or K-Style gutter profiles serve most homes well, with the size of the gutter often being the primary consideration.
To summarize, the choice between K-style and half-round gutters depends on personal preference and your home’s specific needs. Each type has advantages and disadvantages, and the best option for you will depend on factors such as budget, home style, and typical rainfall levels in your area.
