FAQs
Why should I choose copper gutters for my home in Ten Mile?
Copper gutters combine superior durability with timeless curb appeal. Unlike aluminum or vinyl, copper is naturally corrosion-resistant, stands up to Ten Mile’s heavy rains, wind, and temperature swings, and can last 50–100 years with minimal upkeep. In addition, copper develops a beautiful patina that enhances your property’s value and can complement both historic and modern architecture.
How long do copper gutters last compared with aluminum or steel systems?
Properly installed copper gutters routinely exceed 50 years of service life and often reach a century. By contrast, aluminum gutters usually last 20–25 years and galvanized steel about 15–20 years before rust sets in. Copper’s longevity comes from its high tensile strength and its self-healing oxide layer, which prevents rust and seam deterioration.
What maintenance do copper gutters require after installation?
Routine upkeep is simple: keep them free of leaves and debris with seasonal cleanings and consider adding gutter guards for heavy tree cover. Because copper does not rust, there is no need for painting or special coatings. Periodic inspections of joints, hangers, and downspouts are recommended, but repairs are seldom needed if the system was installed correctly.
Will copper gutters turn green, and can I stop that from happening?
Yes. Copper naturally oxidizes, shifting from bright penny-copper to a brown phase and eventually to a blue-green patina. This color change is purely cosmetic and actually protects the metal. If you prefer the original shine, we can apply a clear lacquer or specialized sealant, but these coatings must be reapplied every few years to remain effective.
How is the cost of a copper gutter replacement project calculated?
Pricing depends on lineal footage, gutter profile (K-style, half-round, box), downspout size, fascia repairs, and installation complexity (story height, roof pitch, number of corners). During a free on-site consultation we measure your roofline, evaluate drainage needs, and provide a transparent, itemized quote that covers materials, labor, disposal of old gutters, and any optional add-ons such as gutter guards or rain chains.
How long will the replacement take and will it disrupt my daily routine?
Most single-family homes in Ten Mile can be completed in one to two days. We remove your existing gutters, repair fascia if needed, fabricate seamless copper sections on-site, and install them with minimal noise and mess. Our crew cleans up thoroughly each evening, so you can continue using driveways and entryways without major interruption.
