Installation
Copper gutters require specialized installation including hand-soldered seams, copper-compatible fasteners, and careful handling to prevent galvanic corrosion. Our technicians are trained in copper-specific techniques. Installation typically takes 1–2 days for residential properties.

Comparison
Compared to aluminum ($6–$12/ft), copper ($25–$40/ft) costs 3–5x more upfront but lasts 4–5x longer. Over a 100-year period, copper is more economical. Copper also offers unmatched aesthetics and natural corrosion resistance that aluminum cannot match.
