Copper Gutters Built to
Outlast the Roof.

Expect several times the price of aluminum per linear foot — the material itself is the bulk of it, and soldering is slower work. We price it per job after measuring, and we will show you the aluminum number alongside so you can decide with real figures.

Eventually, yes, and that is the point. Bright copper darkens to bronze within roughly one to two years, and the blue-green patina develops over decades depending on exposure. The patina protects the metal underneath. If you want the bright look kept, that requires a clear coat and ongoing maintenance.

Solder. Sealant on copper is a shortcut that fails within a few years and is the most common defect we see on other people's copper work.
