Elegance, Copper is Thy Name….

Why not put as much care, thought, and style into the outside of your house as do the inside?You know you need gutters on your house. Why not add gutters that will give your home a touch of elegance and an air of sophistication?
Copper rain gutters have been referred to as “jewelry for your house.” It’s true, the eye-catching looks are a huge reason to choose copper over aluminum or steel, but the material has many other advantages besides just being pretty!
One of the biggest benefits to copper gutters is their durability. They are built to last! When you make the investment in copper gutters, you will replace them less often than other materials. Copper does not rust or rot, which means they will stay in tact for decades! Copper rain gutters have been known to last for 50 years or more. They tend to require less maintenance as well. They can withstand exposure to extreme weather conditions such as baking heat and dryness of areas such as the San Fernando Valley, as well as the salty air of the coast in Malibu or Santa Monica!
The price of copper goes up and down with the trades, much like gold or silver. It does happen to be more expensive than other materials, but it’s an investment that pays off. Copper gutters add monetary value to your home and drastically increase curb appeal.
Over time, copper oxidizes and forms a coating known as a patina. The patina can be brown or green in color, and actually helps prevent further corrosion. Normally, it takes at least six years for the patina to form. However, if you like the natural look of copper, then you will have to apply sealants that prevent the copper from oxidizing. Many people prefer the patina though, especially in older homes. It gives them a stately appeal. You’ll often see them on homes that grow ivy, or on more vintage looking homes. It’s elegant and unique. It will certainly set you apart from your neighbors.
