Choosing the Right Gutters: 

Choosing the appropriate material and style for your rain gutter system is also an important consideration, therefore it's vital to make a decision based on your budget and requirements in order to get a proper rain gutter installation. Rain gutters may be constructed of a variety of materials, each with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. The following are some of the most frequent materials used for our exert rain gutter installations:

Seamless Aluminum K-Style Rain Gutters

Half Round Rain Gutters
Half round rain gutters add a touch of class and style and are the preferred gutter profile for traditional and historic applications. Unlike the k style gutter, half round gutters have a round shape that helps the water drain out as opposed to staying in the flat bottom of the gutter. With less water holding in the gutter there will be less corrosion over time. With dozens of hanger options available, half round gutters can be installed on flat fascia, slanted fascia, no fascia, exposed rafters, no rafters, crown molding and many, many more. Half round gutters are available in over twenty colors, and materials including copper, aluminum, galvanized steel, galvalume, freedom gray copper and zinc.

Custom Fabricated Box Rain Gutter
A box gutter, parallel gutter, or trough gutter is a rain gutter on a roof usually rectangular in shape; it may be lined with metal, asphalt, or roofing felt, and may be concealed behind a parapet or the eaves, or in a roof valley. Box gutters are essentially placed between parallel surfaces, as in a valley between parallel roofs or at the junction of a roof and a parapet wall. They should not be confused with so-called valley gutters or valley flashings which occur at the non-parallel intersection of roof surfaces, typically at right angled internal corners of pitched roofs. Provision is made in the design of the gutter to have a rain flow to the outlet with a maximum slope of 1:200 and a minimum of 1:400.
