Gutter Profiles at a Glance
What profile do most homes use?
K-style. It looks like crown molding, carries more water than a same-size round gutter, and fits most modern and traditional Orange County homes.
Which profile suits a Spanish or historic home?
Half-round. Its rounded open trough matches Spanish, Mediterranean, and historic architecture, and it is a classic pairing with copper.
Can you make a profile for an unusual roofline?
Yes. We fabricate box, OG, and angle-face profiles on-site and can match non-standard or custom rooflines that off-the-shelf sections do not fit.

Gutter Profile FAQs
What is the most common gutter profile?
K-style. It resembles crown molding, carries more water than a same-size round gutter, and suits most Orange County homes.
Which profile is best for a Spanish-style home?
Half-round. Its rounded shape matches Spanish, Mediterranean, and historic architecture and pairs naturally with copper.
Can you fabricate a custom profile for an unusual roofline?
Yes. We form box, OG, and angle-face profiles on-site and match non-standard rooflines that pre-cut sections cannot.
K-style vs half-round, which carries more water?
A K-style gutter carries more water than a half-round of the same width because of its shape, one reason it is the residential standard. Half-round is chosen more for looks and for historic and copper systems.
What sizes do the profiles come in?
Most profiles come in 5-inch and 6-inch, with 6-inch used on larger or steeper roofs. We size the profile to your roof’s water load.
Does the profile affect the price?
It can. Half-round and specialty profiles cost more to fabricate than standard K-style. We give you the exact difference in your estimate.
