Copper Gutters

What This Service Involves

Copper is the premium choice for homeowners who want gutters that last for generations without rusting, even under constant Pacific Northwest moisture. Over time the metal weathers to a rich patina that many owners prize as a signature architectural detail. Copper also naturally inhibits the moss and algae growth that thrives on our roofs and troughs. We solder the joints for a watertight, seamless-looking system that reflects the quality of the material.

Benefits

Corrosion-resistant and exceptionally long-lasting in a wet climate; develops a prized natural patina over the years; naturally inhibits moss and algae growth on the roofline; soldered joints create a strong, watertight system; premium appearance that enhances high-end homes

Our Process

1) Confirm copper gauge, profile, and downspout style; 2) Fabricate and fit sections to each roofline run; 3) Solder the joints and outlets for watertight seams; 4) Hang with copper-compatible hangers and test flow

What Affects the Cost

Copper gauge and total linear footage; soldered joint and outlet labor; downspout style and number; roofline complexity and number of stories; compatibility hardware to prevent galvanic corrosion

Best Time of Year
