Maintenance Matters: Aluminum vs. Copper Gutters
Aluminum gutters are a dependable, low-maintenance choice for many homes and businesses.
What to watch for:
• Dents from ladders, limbs, or heavy impact
• Loose hangers or fasteners over time
• Seams and joints that may need resealing
• Clogged downspouts that can back water up into the system
With routine cleaning and periodic checks, aluminum gutters can stay in solid working condition for years.
Copper gutters bring a classic look and lasting performance, but they do have their own upkeep needs.
What to watch for:
• Natural patina and discoloration as the metal ages
• Fasteners and soldered joints that should be inspected regularly
• Debris buildup that can stain the surface if left too long
• Corrosion from incompatible materials or poor installation
Copper is durable, but proper care matters if you want it to keep doing its job and looking right.
No matter which material you choose, regular maintenance helps protect your roofline, siding, foundation, and landscaping.
