The Project
This 1908 Ridgewood Victorian had original galvanized half-round gutters that had outlived their purpose by about 40 years. The owners didn't want to lose the period-correct visual line, but they were tired of paying for annual repairs. They asked specifically about copper.
We specced 6-inch K-style seamless copper gutters formed on-site to match the home's 185 linear feet of fascia, with matching round copper downspouts and copper leader-head accents at the front porch corners. Copper develops a natural patina over decades, ages gracefully, and carries a 50-year material lifespan — a meaningful warranty on a 100+-year-old home.
The full system was rolled, hung, soldered, and tied into existing drains in a single working day. The owners now have premium drainage that will outlive the next several roofs.
Scope of work
- Tear-off of failed galvanized half-round gutters
- Hidden hanger replacement, fascia inspection
- 185 linear ft of 6" seamless copper, on-site formed
- Matching round copper downspouts
- Copper leader-head accents at front-porch corners
- Soldered seams and end caps (no rivets)
- Stainless steel mesh leaf-guard system
- Tied into existing dry-well drainage
Period-Correct Detail, Single-Day Install
