It's quite simple. Gutters are critical to keeping a house dry. The gutters and downspouts collect rainwater that pours off the roof and direct it away from the house. Without gutters, water could damage walls and could collect next to the foundation and seep into the basement.
While they can seem purely functional, many homeowners have undertaken copper gutter installation in New Jersey as a way to become a focal point of the home instead of a functional nuisance.
"Last year, we had some major renovations completed to the outside of our home. Our contractor suggested adding copper gutters to really add a unique architectural element to our home," comments Marion Anderton from Trenton, New Jersey.
Copper gutters also come with attractive accessories to help make each home unique. "We're thrilled with the result. Not only will they far outlast aluminum gutters, but also they really look sharp. We also added decorative fascia brackets and leader heads to even further enhance the look," states Anderton. Others like Anderton turn to the experts from Triton Gutters and Siding for their copper gutter installation to get the job done right.
"We treat every customer as a unique home with different requirements," mentions Derek Edwards, owner of Triton Gutters. "Many people don't realize, but it takes a true craftsman, experienced in both design and installation techniques to provide a custom solution tailored to meet the client's specific needs. With many accessories available, we can recommend a system that will be highly functional and very attractive. There's no doubt about it, copper gutters make a statement," he concludes.
Another advantage of copper is that it is a living material, changing throughout the years until it eventually ages to perfection. Copper requires specialized installation skills so it is important that homeowners hire the right company for their own copper gutter installation.
