Some homes deserve more than a standard gutter. Half round gutters have a classic, rounded profile that suits historic homes, custom builds, and the stone homes you see all over New Braunfels and the Texas Hill Country. Lessard’s Rain Gutters forms seamless 6″ half round gutters on site and pairs them with round downspouts for a finished, traditional look.
A half round gutter is shaped like a pipe cut in half lengthwise. It gives your roofline a soft, curved edge instead of the flat-faced look of a K-style gutter. Half round gutters add beauty to your property and still do the job of carrying rainwater away from your roof and foundation.
At Lessard’s, half round gutters come in:
Both materials, including copper, are formed seamless on site. Every half round system comes standard with round downspouts, so the whole system has the same rounded look from top to bottom. Our 6″ half round usually gets 4″ round downspouts, and 3″ round downspouts are also available. Decorative header boxes are also available to give the downspouts an extra architectural touch.
On older homes, a modern K-style gutter can look out of place. Half round gutters fit the character of historic architecture and help the house look the way it was meant to.
When you’re building or remodeling a custom home, every detail matters. Half round gutters turn a functional part of your home into a design accent.
Limestone and other stone exteriors are common across the Hill Country. The clean curve of a half round gutter, especially in copper, pairs well with stone.
Half round gutters can also go on metal roofs, giving small and medium-sized commercial buildings better curb appeal with less maintenance. For custom commercial jobs, we’ve also installed 8″ half round gutters with 6″ downspouts. For larger buildings that need more capacity, see our commercial gutter options.
Half round, box, and 7″ gutter machines are expensive, and most gutter companies don’t own them. Without the machine, a company won’t recommend half round gutters, even when a home needs them or the homeowner wants them. Lessard’s owns its own 6″ half round machine, along with 6″ box and 7″ K-style machines. That means we form half round gutters seamless on your site, and we can recommend the gutter that’s actually right for your home instead of the only one we can make.
Copper is the premium choice for half round gutters. It won’t rust, it doesn’t wear out easily from exposure, and if maintained properly it can last up to 50 years. Our copper half round gutters are formed seamless on site, and we pair them with round copper downspouts so the whole system matches. Copper also works with rain chains, which some homeowners use in place of one or more downspouts for added character and sound. Learn more on our custom copper gutters and rain chains pages.
A warranty is only as good as the company behind it. Lessard’s Rain Gutters has been family-run and standing behind its work since 1979. See our warranties.

Because a warranty only helps if the company is still around to honor it. Many gutter companies offer 10-year or lifetime warranties, but the gutter industry has a high failure rate. By broad industry estimates, shown for general comparison, 60% of gutter companies fail within 5 years, 75% fail within 10 years, and 85% are gone by 15 years. Lessard’s Rain Gutters has been in business since 1979. Before you compare warranties, ask how long the company has been around.
