Top 4 Advantages of Copper Gutters

https://safeharborexteriors.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/top-4-advantages-of-copper-gutters_60689910eea92.jpeg

Gutters work to keep your home safe and intact from water damage, but their exposure to harsh weather conditions also leave them vulnerable, leading to extensive wear and tear. That’s why – when investing in a new gutter system – you’ll need to choose a quality and durable material. For many homeowners, copper remains one of the best choices, and here’s why:

1. They offer unmatched beauty. Most gutter systems today come with a standard, smooth white finish. A copper gutter system, however, stands out better, thanks to its timeless look and warm shine. This makes them an instant focal point in both traditional and modern homes. Over time, these gutters wear down to a lovely patina through oxidation, further adding a classic look to your home.

2. Copper gutters are incredibly strong. Aside from providing effective resistance against heavy rainfall, blistering heat, high winds and hailstorms, copper gutters are impervious to corrosion and rot. Their standard lifespan is 60 years, but when properly installed and maintained by a trusted gutter and roofing expert like Safe Harbor Exteriors, your copper gutters can last a century.

3. They are low-maintenance. Copper gutters not only resist corrosion and rot; they also eliminate the potential of moss and algae forming and creating blockages in the system. This means you won’t have to clean your copper gutters as frequently as you would other systems.

4. Copper gutters are eco-friendly. The material itself is fully sustainable, and its recyclability also means your gutters won’t end up in a landfill once they weaken and break down. In fact, copper gutters have almost twice the recycled value of aluminum – or up to four times the recycled value of stainless steel.

Reviews

We talked to multiple companies while deciding who to use for the exterior of our home. Safe Harbor was transparent, fast, and offered James Hardie siding compared to all the other companies only offering vinyl. Safe Harbor was much more affordable than many of the other companies, who just wanted as much money as possible. We are extremely happy with our siding, soffit, fascia, flashing, gutters, windows and the guarantee that comes with their work. If there was any more work to be performed, without a doubt, we would chose safe Harbor again.

Safe Harbor installed James Hardie siding, soffits, and gutters. The install was meticulous and our home was left cleaner than when the company showed up. The level of detail in the install was beyond expectation! We are so pleased with the quality of the work and the professionalism of the install team!
