Copper is the most premium gutter material available. Homes in Highland Park, Southlake, and Westover Hills have copper gutter systems that have outlasted multiple roof replacements, multiple owners, and decades of Texas weather.
50–100 Year Lifespan
Aluminum lasts 20 years. Steel lasts 15–25. Copper is a generational investment that outlasts everything else.
No Paint. No Rust.
Copper doesn't rust, doesn't need painting, and doesn't corrode. It develops a beautiful natural patina over time.
Soldered Seams
Unlike sealants that fail over time, copper gutters are hand-soldered — a permanent, watertight connection that lasts as long as the metal.
Unmatched Curb Appeal
No gutter material makes a stronger visual statement. Pairs beautifully with slate, stone, brick, clay tile, and wood shake.

Our Installation Process
Consultation & Measurement
We assess your roofline, discuss profile and sizing options, and provide a detailed written estimate.
Material Sourcing
We source premium-gauge copper — 16 oz or 20 oz depending on the application. Heavier gauge = longer life and better rigidity.

Gutters are cut and shaped on-site for a precise fit. No pre-cut sections — everything is custom to your home.
Hand-Soldered Installation
All joints, corners, and end caps are hand-soldered on-site. This is what separates a 100-year installation from one that leaks in 10.
Final Inspection & Water Test

Why 3 Nails Gutter for Copper?
Copper installation is not a skill every gutter company has. Soldering requires specialized training and equipment. Poor soldering means leaks and premature failure. Our own trained crew handles every copper installation — we never subcontract this work.
Frequently Asked Questions
50–100 years with minimal maintenance. Some historic homes have original copper systems still performing after 80+ years.
During the early patina phase, copper can leave streaks on light-colored siding if not installed with proper drip clearance. We account for this in every installation.
New copper is bright like a penny. Over 1–3 years it darkens to rich brown. Over following years it develops the classic blue-green patina. Protective coating options are available if you prefer the original bright look.
Yes, but they're the right choice primarily for homes where longevity, curb appeal, and premium materials are a priority. We'll give you an honest assessment.
