#TBT to this copper bay window roof with a little tuck pointing to the surrounding brick. This roof and its matching counterpart on the other side of the front door were damaged during a hail storm. Guttersmiths was hired to replace the roof panels, trim, and do a little brick work. As usual, the insurance adjuster was NOT happy about this one 😅 . . . . . . . #copperroofing #baywindowroof #copperdormers #everytimeicomearoundyourcity #blingbling #anotherdayanothercopper #architecturalsheetmetal #architecture #architecturephotos #watermanagement #restoration #remodeling #realestate #thisoldhouse #familyhandyman #halfround #haildamage #largehomes #opulence #instaarchitecture #ilovemyjob #historicpreservation #historicarchitecture #copper #roofing #instaarchitecture #interiordesign #decor #tradesman #madisonwi

We get a lot of calls from homeowners with Prairie-style or Frank Lloyd Wright-style homes here in the Madison area. Taliesin School is nearby, and Wright's disciples designed many homes in the area, including this one. These homes are gorgeous, but are known for having water issues. The homeowner made a joke about Leaking Water, instead of Falling Water (FLW joke), that I thought was funny. Anyway, the water management solution here is a box gutter profile that matches the aesthetic of the home better than k-style or half rounds would have. The capacity of these 7" box gutters is much greater than the standard k-style and half round profiles, and can channel buku water. . . . . . . . . . . . #coppergutters #copperwork #copperroofing #coppersiding #copperdownspouts #copper #historichomes #historicarchitecture #historicpreservation #history #historylovers #deserve2preserve #preservation #restoration #customgutters #oldhouselove #oldhousecharm #oldhouserestoration #sheetmetal #tradesmen #architecture #archdaily #flw #franklloydwright #craftsmanship #craftsman #craftsmanstyle #prairiestyle #artsandcraftsarchitecture #oldhomes

This video takes a look at a soldered seam copper roofing project completed by Guttersmiths in the fall of 2022 in Madison, Wisconsin, USA. This was part of a larger exterior remodel that included extensive carpentry, masonry, and stucco restoration, as well as painting. Guttersmiths was responsible for new aluminum and copper half round gutters, and some architectural copper details including a bay window roof, flashing and cricket work around the chimney, and an octagonal shaped standing seam copper roof. This video will focus on the flat lock soldered seam copper roof portion of the job.

DO YOU WANT A FASTER RESPONSE?

Help me out by measuring your own gutters from the ground using a tape measure and the price guide below

I still self-perform some work, and don't have a salesman on payroll, so I usually can't field all the calls I receive.

Measuring your own gutters is pretty easy - print out the provided worksheet (or use a notepad), plug in the numbers from the price guide, and...Voila! You've got your estimate for new gutters.

If the price is acceptable to you, email me to schedule the work.

SEAMLESS K-STYLE ALUMINUM GUTTERS

Difficult Install (price per foot) : $2 + Additional cost per foot

Some things that MAY qualify for difficult installation pricing include angled fascia board,roof strap installation, accessibility issues like steep terrain, and heights over two stories

SEAMLESS GUTTER SPECS?

  • Gutters are installed in seamless lengths
  • Formed from .032" aluminum coil stock
  • Approximately 35 standard colors available, as well as Kynar coatings for additional cost
  • Raytec hidden hangers spaced approximately 24" apart
  • Gutters are installed behind the drip edge to ensure water flows into the gutter and not behind it
  • Flashing is installed between the gutter and drip edge if the gutter falls below the drip edge to maintain pitch

DOWNSPOUT UPGRADE

Many new home builders hire gutter companies that use small 2" x 3" downspouts. These smaller spouts clog easily and oftentimes can't handle the water volume even if they aren't clogged.

You can hire Guttersmiths to upgrade the size of your down¬spouts from 2" x 3" to 3" x 4"

  • Upgrade size of existing downspouts from 2"x3" to 3"x4"
  • Includes removal of existing downspouts
  • Cut larger opening in gutter
  • Insert 3"x4" outlet
  • Install downspout with hinged extension at ground level

EZ LOCK LEAF SCREENS

(suitable for most people not suitable for pine needles)

This is a small-hole, affordable alternative to the fancier products on the market. We've been installing these things for almost a decade now, and they work well for most people.

They keep out leafs, helicopters, and other tree debris. If you have pine needles, forget it - you need a micromesh product (see below).

If you're on a budget, we can do Leaf Solution micro mesh screens on areas of the home that have the pine needles, and EZ-Lock elsewhere.

Be aware, though, that pine needles do not always fall straight down and have a tendency to migrate away from the trees to other areas of the home.

EVELYN'SLEAF SOLUTION

This is a stainless steel micromesh product that keeps out the finer debris, like pine needles. They are costly, but still (unbelievably) half the price of the fancier products that you see at the home shows and on TV advertisements.

That blows my mind, because even the $25- $30 / foot products are not 100% foolproof - I know, because I've been hired to remove some of them.

LEAF SCREEN SPECS

  • Leaf Screen Specs
  • Leaf screen pricing includes cleaning out and disposing of leaf debris in the gutters
  • Screens are installed under the first course of shingles and fastened to the front lip of the gutter
  • EZ-Lock Screens are folded over at the end caps to prevent leaf debris from entering there
  • Aluminum covers are made to cover the openings at endcaps when installing Leaf Solution screens
