Copper Gutters: An Elegant and Prestigious Choice for Your Historic Home

Copper gutters, drain-spouts and other copper details add a dramatic beauty and architectural interest to your home. They are a staple in many of the historic neighborhoods in and around Boston proper such as Beacon Hill, the South End, Wellesley, Brookline, Chestnut Hill, Newton, Precinct 1 in Dedham, and more.

While many homeowners are aware of the stunning aesthetic touch copper gutters add, many have no idea of the additional benefits they offer.

Did you know copper gutters and drain spouts are maintenance-free, last the lifetime of the home, and increase the resale value?

Here are the facts: 

Maintenance-free

The joints and seams are soldered which means no breaks or leaks. Copper will develop a beautiful patina over time but the material does not need cleaning. The copper metal is also a natural algaecide and fungicide which prevents moss from growing. (You will want to have them emptied of debris to allow proper drainage.) 

Lasts a Lifetime

Copper has been used for thousands of years will outlast other materials. (The use of copper as a roofing material can be traced back to 27BC in Rome where it was used on the Pantheon.) It resists corrosion, does not sag or get out of shape.  Copper handles all weather extremes. The Statue of Liberty is made out of copper.
