How long do copper gutters last?

Copper is one of the longest-lasting gutter materials available. It doesn't rust, and properly installed copper gutters can last 100 years or more.

Will copper stain my siding or stone?

Runoff from copper can leave green or brown staining on light-colored stone, stucco, or masonry over time. We plan downspout placement and drainage to keep runoff away from surfaces where staining would be a concern.

Can copper be combined with a steel roof?

We don't run unlike metals together. Copper and steel in contact, or copper runoff onto steel, cause galvanic corrosion (electrolysis). Steel gutters get matching steel downspouts, and copper stays with copper.

Copper Gutters

Half-round copper gutters are a classic and our most common profile, but we can fabricate copper gutters in any profile. We pair them with copper downspouts, leader heads, and custom scuppers, on new builds or added to an existing home on their own.

How Copper Ages

New copper is bright and reflective. Over time it darkens to a warm brown and, eventually, can develop the blue-green patina copper is famous for. Timing varies with exposure, so every installation ages a little differently.
