For historic homes, yes. Half-round gutters are aesthetically period-correct and their smooth shape is more self-cleaning. However, K-style gutters hold more water volume.
All seams, endcaps, and miters are professionally soldered—never caulked. This ensures a permanent, watertight bond that matches the century-long lifespan of the copper itself.
Copper gutter costs vary based on home size, profile choice, and complexity. Simple installations start around $40 per linear foot installed; complex multi-story homes with custom work can reach $80+ per foot. We provide Free same-day quotes for accurate pricing.
Copper gutters routinely last 50-100+ years with minimal maintenance. The natural patina that develops actually protects the metal from corrosion.
