Copper Gutter and Downspout Installation in Augusta Area

Reasons to Choose Copper Gutters for Your Home

• No corrosion: Copper downspouts and gutters will not rust or corrode. This provides excellent durability. Copper gutters will naturally develop a blue-green patina. However, they can be restored to their original colors or treated to obtain a different color patina.
• Soldered joints Joints with other gutters are sealed using special sealants, which may need to be renewed from time to time to prevent leaks. Copper gutter joints are joined like copper plumbing connections so there is no need to worry about leaks.
• Quality and craftsmanship: Copper downspouts and gutters are a strong statement of quality and craftsmanship. Copper gutters are not like seamless aluminum gutters that blend into roof structures. Instead, they stand out and show off their supports as well as their unique patina.
