Copper Rain Gutters Copper is extremely durable which is why it's the same material used to make your pipes inside and outside your home. Copper does not bend, warp, or rust. So, copper might also be the best choice if you live in an area where it rains often or where there is inclement weather.

Gutters are an essential part of any home. They ensure water properly drains off of your roof, helping to protect the roof, siding, landscaping, and foundation from water damage. On average, gutters need to be replaced every 20 years. However, they can last longer if you care for them properly.

Vinyl gutters fit most budgets, come in several colors and are also a good choice for DIY installation. Copper doesn't mold, mildew or rust.
