Copper gutters, chosen for the character of your home

Copper is a distinctive choice for homes where the gutters are meant to be seen. Send a Quick Quote Online request and we will look for a suitable independent provider.

Is copper the right gutter for your home?

Homeowners usually choose copper for its appearance. New copper has a bright, warm finish. Over time it weathers to a brown tone and, with long exposure, can develop a green patina. Some owners prefer to keep it bright with regular care.

Copper is often chosen for older homes, homes with brick or stone detail, and projects where the gutters are a design feature. It is usually a bigger investment than painted metal or PVC. If you are still comparing options, our article on gutter materials for the Gulf Coast sets out how copper compares with steel, seamless metal, PVC and wood.

Texas Gutter Solutions does not install gutters. We review your enquiry and look for a suitable independent provider who works with copper. Provider availability depends on your location and the job.

  • Copper weathers from bright metal to brown, and later green

  • Seams are usually soldered rather than only sealed

When homeowners look at copper gutters

Copper is usually part of a wider plan for the outside of the home.

  • Restoring an older or historic home where copper suits the style
  • Replacing worn gutters on a home with a slate, tile or metal roof
  • Building or remodeling, and wanting gutters that stand out
  • Matching existing copper flashing, bay roofs or trim details
  • Replacing failing gutters with a metal that does not rust

How a copper gutter installation generally goes

A provider will usually start by looking at the roof edge, the fascia and where the water needs to go. Rotten fascia boards are normally dealt with first, because the gutters rely on them for support. The provider then plans the gutter size, the slope toward each downspout and where each downspout discharges, so water moves away from the foundation during heavy Houston rain.

Copper gutters are often made up in sections, with joints, corners and end caps soldered so each run holds together as one piece. Hangers and brackets should be copper or another compatible material. Copper in direct contact with steel or aluminum can cause corrosion at the contact point, so mixed-metal shortcuts should be avoided.

Ask the provider how they allow for expansion on long runs, and whether they suggest gutter covers or gutter guards if trees overhang the roof.

Questions about copper gutter installation

What homeowners ask before an enquiry about copper gutter installation.

Still have a question?

Quick Quote Online
Will copper gutters turn green?

Copper exposed to the weather changes color. It usually darkens to brown first, and a green patina can form later. How quickly this happens depends on exposure, so ask the provider what to expect for your home.

Can copper be used on only part of the house?

Some homeowners use copper on the front of the home or a feature area and another material elsewhere. Ask the provider how the two will meet, because copper should not touch other metals directly.

Does Texas Gutter Solutions install the gutters?

No. Texas Gutter Solutions does not carry out gutter work. We look for a suitable independent provider for your enquiry. Provider availability depends on your location and the job.
