Choosing the right gutter style is about more than looks—it affects how your home handles rainwater and long-term maintenance.

K-Style Gutters

  • Appearance: Flat back with a decorative front, resembling crown molding.
  • Sizes Available: 5” and 6” (we offer both).
  • Best For: Modern or colonial-style homes.
  • Pros: Holds more water than half-rounds, easier to install on flat fascia.
  • Cons: Slightly harder to clean due to sharp angles.

Half-Round Gutters

  • Appearance: Smooth, U-shaped profile.
  • Best For: Historic or cottage-style homes.
  • Pros: Less prone to corrosion, easier to clean.
  • Cons: Handles less water, more expensive to install.

Our Expert Advice:
In New Jersey, where heavy rain and snow are common, 6″ K-style gutters offer excellent capacity and performance. However, if your home has a more traditional aesthetic, half-round gutters may be the right fit.
