Copper Gutters in Eden Prairie, MN
Copper costs more up front, weathers to a natural patina, and can outlast an aluminum system by decades if the look and the price fit your project.
What’s Included
Copper gutters are fabricated the same way our standard systems are, custom-formed on site to fit your roofline, but in copper instead of aluminum or galvalume. The material costs more and the installation takes more care, particularly at the seams and joints, which are typically soldered rather than sealed.
- Custom fabrication sized to your roofline
- Soldered seams and joints for a durable, weather-tight finish
- Matching or complementary downspouts and hardware
- Guidance on how the natural patina will develop over time
Why Homeowners Choose Copper
It’s mostly about longevity and looks. Copper develops a natural patina over the years that a lot of homeowners in Eden Prairie’s more custom-built neighborhoods, particularly the estate-style homes around Bearpath and the newer executive builds in Settlers Ridge, specifically want to match a home’s overall design. It also tends to outlast standard materials by a wide margin when it’s installed and maintained correctly, which matters on a house where you’re not planning to redo the exterior again anytime soon.
How The Job Goes
We measure the same way we would for any installation, then fabricate the copper on site and solder the seams rather than using sealant, which holds up better over the material’s long lifespan. Hangers and fasteners are chosen to avoid reacting badly with copper over time, which is a detail that gets missed when a crew doesn’t work with the material often.
What Affects The Cost
Material cost is the biggest factor and runs well above aluminum or galvalume. Roofline length, number of downspouts, and the complexity of soldered joints also factor in.

Questions we hear a lot
How long do copper gutters last?
Well beyond a standard aluminum system's lifespan if installed and maintained correctly, which is a big part of why homeowners choose it despite the higher upfront cost.
Does copper need to be painted?
No. It weathers naturally to a patina over time, which is part of the appeal for a lot of homeowners.
Can copper gutters be repaired instead of replaced?
In most cases, yes, similar to our standard repair work, though copper soldering is a different skill than aluminum sealing.
What customers say
Big Mike understood what we needed right away. His crew came out and installed over 60 feet of new gutter around our porch and came up with a superior drain spout design, better than what was originally planned for! The work was done quickly and efficiently by this experienced crew, and the price was reasonable as quoted. Would call again.
Max Tite
Three crew members came and did a fantastic job. We requested some detailed work, and every request was accepted. They found a way to satisfy us. They did an excellent job! I would definitely hire them again for any gutter work.
Kyoko French
Super easy to work with. The gutters look great and they had lots of good color options. They were very professional – did what they said when they said and the price was in line or lower than others we had quote. We are very happy we went with them.
