•  Aluminum Gutter Materials

Aluminum gutter systems are popular on homes in the area due to their high strength, longevity and affordability. These gutters are made from several different types of aluminum alloys, each with a varying strengths and price points. The most common type of aluminum gutter is seamless aluminum, which has no joints and seams for water to puddle or leak through. Seamless gutters are highly durable and long-lasting and can easily be installed for the average homeowner. Several other types of aluminum gutter systems exist including K-style, fascia, half round, box and Ogee gutters, each offering something a little different from the others.

• Copper Gutter Materials

Just like its aluminum counterpart, copper never rusts or corrodes. Copper is famous for the development of the bright bluish-green patina, known as verdigris (like what is seen on the statue of liberty). This is a natural effect that does not damage the gutter and is actually a favored look among many homeowners today. Copper lasts much longer than aluminum most times so the investment is well worth it in the long run.

• DIY or Professional Gutter Installation

If you are considering installing gutters yourself as a way to save money, you may want to think again. Many homeowners try to install new gutters themselves in an attempt to save money. If you have the ability and knowledge to install gutters yourself, you can try though it is best to stick to sectional gutters that are fabricated in pieces that are easier to handle.  If you are looking at getting seamless gutters or something fancy, it is best to leave the gutter installation to the experts who know how to handle the material and have the safety tools and knowledge to get it done correctly and safely. Also, professional installations often come with warranties which cover the materials and installation, something you won’t get with a DIY installation project.

• Size & Shape for Gutters

There are several standard styles for gutters, which are attached to the edge of your roof to collect rainwater and direct it away from your house. One common style is a U-shaped profile or a K-shaped profile. Gutters along the side of the roof are offered in 6 inch or 7 inch diameters, and downspouts can be found in several styles that are appropriate for your home.

• Deciding on a Color

There are many colors available today so you can easily find the shade that complements your home’s style and decor and that looks best for your area. Aluminum gutter colors are baked directly onto the material while still at the factory. Copper only comes in its natural state but can be painted after installation. If you are wanting a shade such as red or blue or black, aluminum is the best choice as most homeowners choose copper due to its natural patina look and coloration.
