Copper gutters start out the color of a new penny. Weather darkens them to brown, and over many years they can turn the soft blue-green known as patina. Rain, air and sun set the pace, so two houses on the same street can age differently.
Copper doesn’t rust, and cost guides say a copper system can last 50 years or more. That long life is a big part of what people pay for.
Many copper systems are half-round: an open half circle held in exposed brackets and paired with round downspouts. One cost guide describes half-round as a fit for classic and traditional houses. Copper also comes in the K-style profile, which carries more water than a half-round of the same width.
One side effect to plan for: rain running off copper can leave green streaks on light stone, concrete or paint below. Ask where each downspout will drain.
Aluminum gutters are usually joined with sealant. Copper joints are typically soldered, which bonds the seam into one piece of metal. A soldered joint doesn’t rely on caulk that dries out with age, but it takes a crew that solders often.
Copper should only touch copper or a compatible metal. When copper sits against aluminum or plain steel in the wet, the other metal can corrode, so hangers, straps, nails and downspouts should match. If copper is going on just part of a house, ask how the company will keep it apart from any aluminum that stays.
Repairs follow the same rule. A leaking copper joint is normally cleaned and re-soldered rather than smeared with sealant, so ask whether a company does copper soldering itself before it comes out.
Census estimates count roughly 1,100 Marietta housing units built before 1950. On a house that old, ask the company to look for traces of the original gutters before you pick a replacement.
The city’s design guidelines for Kennesaw Avenue, for Church-Cherokee Streets and for Forest Hills want historic gutters maintained, and they prefer repairing historic features to replacing them. When replacement is needed, they ask for materials matched as closely as possible in design, shape and appearance, and they advise against roof work in materials that would dramatically change how a house looks. They count gutters among a roof’s elements.
So copper fits most easily where it matches what’s there, such as a house that already has copper gutters. A change of metal is less clear. The ordinance lists replacement gutters as a minor repair when they keep the original location and scale, and its broader maintenance exemption covers work with no material change in design, material or appearance. If you plan to trade aluminum for copper, or copper for aluminum, apply to city staff first. Staff can sign off on a minor repair or send the application on to the Historic Preservation Commission.
Downtown is stricter. Guidelines for the Downtown Marietta Historic District ask owners to keep historic gutters and downspouts, and to make any worn-out gutter they must replace look like the old one in color and size. Work there needs the Historic Board of Review’s approval first, in the form of a Certificate of Approval.
The figures below are national ranges gathered from published cost guides, and none of them is a quote. Aluminum is there for comparison as the most common gutter material, and zinc as another metal that weathers to a patina.
| Work | Typical range | Per |
|---|---|---|
| Copper gutters installed | $16–$40 | per foot |
| Half-round gutters installed | $13–$45 | per foot |
| Zinc gutters installed | $12–$50 | per foot |
| Downspouts installed | $4–$40 | per foot |
| Old gutters taken down before replacement | $1–$3 | per foot |
| New aluminum K-style gutters installed (full replacement) | $6–$13 | per foot |

Per foot, copper costs well above aluminum, and half-round profiles cost more again. Have every company quote the same profile, width and number of downspouts, and say whether the joints are soldered, so you’re comparing like with like.
Plain answers to what homeowners ask before they hire anyone.
Call (478) 606‑6430Over time, usually. New copper darkens to brown first, and the blue-green patina comes later, on a timeline set by rain, air and sun rather than the calendar. The patina is a surface layer, not a sign the gutter is failing.
It depends on the district and on what the house has now. In the three residential districts, new gutters that keep the old ones’ position and size count as a minor repair, but a change of material isn’t spelled out, so ask city staff before you order. Downtown, expect to apply to the Historic Board of Review before any work.
It depends on how long you’ll stay and how much the look matters to you. Cost guides give copper 50 years or more, against about 20 to 40 for aluminum, but copper costs far more per foot. Compare the rows in the table above before you decide.
Usually. A leaking joint is cleaned and re-soldered, and a damaged length can be cut out and replaced with new copper soldered in place. Ask whether the company solders copper itself, since sealant alone is a short-term patch on copper.
It’s not a good idea. Where copper touches aluminum or plain steel and stays wet, the other metal can corrode. Copper gutters should hang on copper hangers and drain into copper downspouts, or be kept apart from other metals.
