  Half-round gutters were the traditional gutter style on homes built before 1950 and remain a popular choice on historic renovation projects, traditional renovations, and new upscale custom housing. The simple lines of half-round gutters compliment heavily textured materials such as slate, shakes, and tiles. Where crown moldings exist in lieu of fascias, half-round gutters are hung from the roof. Where fascia exist, fascia brackets are used to attach gutters. A full line of accessories, decorative components, and screens is also available. ADVANTAGES: Appropriate for both historic rehabilitation and new construction, both contemporary and traditional. Attractive and durable. However, they have a higher initial material cost than some other gutter products (Fig 7).

• Siding
  The purpose of gutter and downspout systems is to collect rainwater from the roof and direct it away from the building foundation by means of downspout extensions, splash blocks, or underground drain lines. An improperly functioning gutter and downspout system can contribute to water and ice backing up against fascias and under roof shingles, can damage soffits, and can discolor or deteriorate siding materials. Faulty gutters and downspouts can also lead to soil erosion adjacent to buildings and serious water and foundation displacement problems in basements and crawl spaces. Unfortunately, gutter systems take more abuse from extreme weather conditions, particularly ice and snow, than any other component of the building envelope. They are also subject to damage from ladders and being stepped on, as well as from falling tree limbs and debris.
• Residential Roof Repair
  Typically allowed to weather naturally, copper develops a blue-green coloration resulting from the formation of a protective copper oxide patina. ADVANTAGES: Considered a quality, premium product. An appropriate material for historic preservation projects. Copper patina blends well with many roofing products. Low maintenance, does not require paint. Will not rust and is well suited for maritime environments.
• Residential Roof Replacement/Installation
  Wider gutters may be required for certain hard surface roofing materials, such as slate and tile, or used on steeply pitched roofs, to prevent water from shooting over the gutter. Gutters should be positioned tight against roofing materials and the fascia. In heavy snow areas, snow guards should be used to prevent gutter tear-off. Vertical downspouts are used to capture and distribute rain water to storm drainage systems, or by means splash blocks, to areas away from the building’s foundation walls to prevent the build up of water in the soil and possible resulting structural or basement moisture problems. Downspouts are typically rectangular and of the same material as the gutter to prevent destructive galvanic actions. Connections between gutters and downspouts and downspouts and storm drains require continuing maintenance to assure the drain is free of leaves and debris and the connection has not become loose. Other maintenance points include the connections of downspouts to the building. Downspout diameters are sized according to the roof area they drain.
