Copper Gutter FAQs
Is copper worth the investment for LOTP homes?
For lakefront and premium LOTP homes, absolutely. The 100+ year lifespan means you'll never replace them. Plus, copper adds 2-4% to home value on luxury properties.
Can I keep the bright copper look?
Yes! We can apply a clear lacquer coating that maintains the bright penny appearance indefinitely. Or let it patina naturally for the classic look.
How long until the green patina develops?
At Lake of the Pines' elevation and climate, expect full verdigris patina in 7-15 years. The process starts with brown/bronze tones in the first 1-3 years.
Do copper gutters work with gutter guards?
Yes! We offer copper micro-mesh guards that match and complement copper gutters. They develop patina at the same rate.
What about copper downspouts?
We install matching copper downspouts with your system. These also develop patina over time, creating a cohesive look.
