Plain white aluminum is the standard, but it is not your only option. Specialty materials let the gutter do more for the house: copper on a historic home in Marietta or Athens, galvalume to match a metal roof, colored aluminum that disappears against the trim of a newer home in Cumming.

Copper, steel or colored aluminum: matching the metal to the house
Each specialty metal solves a different problem. Here is how the four compare, which homes in our territory each one suits, and where to read more about each.
Material choice usually starts with the house itself. An older home in one of the historic districts around Athens or Marietta asks for something different than a new two-story in Hoschton, a brick ranch in Tucker, or a lake house with a metal roof near Flowery Branch.
The second question is how long you plan to own it. Copper can outlast the roof above it. Colored aluminum gets you most of the look for far less. The two coated steels sit in between: tough, metallic and right for certain houses more than others.
Your Solutionist will walk the exterior with you and put more than one material in writing when more than one makes sense, so you can compare real prices instead of guessing.
The four specialty metals side by side
| Material | Look | Strength and life | Best fit around here |
|---|---|---|---|
| Colored aluminum | Nearly twenty baked-on factory colors | Light and rust resistant | Brick ranches and subdivision homes where the gutter should blend in |
| Copper | Bright gold that darkens to a brown or green patina | The longest life of any gutter material | Historic homes in Athens, Marietta and Watkinsville, stone and brick custom homes |
| Galvalume | Dull gunmetal gray that does not fade | Coated steel that can rival copper with proper care | Metal roofs, lake homes, farmhouse-style builds |
| Galvanized steel | Bright mill finish, or painted to match | Zinc-coated steel that resists dents and cracks | Wooded lots, barns, farm homes and contemporary homes |
Questions that settle the choice quickly
- Is the roof metal? Galvalume gutters match it and keep you from mixing metals where they touch.
- Do you want the color to change over time? Copper will. Galvalume and colored aluminum hold steady.
- Do big pines or hardwoods hang over the roof? Steel stands up better to dropped limbs and heavy wet leaves.
- Will you paint the gutters to match the trim? Galvanized takes paint. The others arrive finished.
- Is the house historic or high end? Copper, often in half-round, is usually the right look.
- Is budget the main limit? Colored aluminum in Copper Penny or Dark Bronze gets closest for the least.
Profile, size and finishing touches
Every material on this page comes in K-style or half-round, and our gutter styles guide shows how each profile changes the look of the house. Copper comes in 5 inch, 6 inch and larger, so a big roof does not have to give up capacity for looks. Rain chains, ornamental conductor heads, embossed gutters and rain barrels round out a specialty system. A conductor head is more than decoration: it holds the surge where a large section of roof drains to one downspout, which matters in a summer storm that drops an inch of rain in under an hour.

Why the Brothers
Why Northeast Atlanta Homeowners Call the Brothers
We install copper, galvalume, galvanized steel and a wide range of colored aluminum. Many gutter contractors skip specialty metals because they are harder to source and install.
Copper is beautiful and it is expensive. We will tell you when colored aluminum gets you most of the look for far less, and put both prices in writing.
Josh Bowie owns and runs the Northeast Atlanta franchise, part of a national brand founded in 1999 by brothers Ken and Ryan Parsons.
Rain chains, ornamental conductor heads, embossed gutters and rain barrels are all available. We help you choose the ones that suit the house.

It depends on the look you want, your budget and how long you plan to stay. Colored aluminum is the practical choice for most homes. Copper is for homeowners who want the richest look and the longest life. Galvalume and galvanized steel bring strength and a metal finish. A Solutionist weighs budget, function and looks with you.
Properly maintained copper gutters can last around 50 to 150 years, longer than any other gutter material on the market. Most other materials last around 10 to 30 years. Copper often outlasts the roof above it.
Historic and high-end homes wear copper best, along with homes finished in brick, stone, wood or slate. That makes it a natural fit for many of the older homes around Marietta, Athens and Watkinsville, and for larger brick homes in Johns Creek. Copper starts out a bright, gold metallic color and slowly forms a dark brown or green patina that also protects it.
Both are steel with a protective coating. Galvanized steel has a thin coat of zinc. Galvalume is coated in a mix of 55 percent aluminum and 45 percent zinc, which gives it a longevity that rivals copper at a lower price. Galvalume has a duller, gunmetal look that does not fade, while galvanized has a brighter mill finish and can be painted.
Yes. Galvalume started out as a roofing material, so it pairs naturally with a galvalume metal roof, and using the same metal for both avoids mixing alloys that can corrode where they touch. Whether it is a lake home near Gainesville or a farmhouse-style build out toward Jefferson, matching gutters finish the look.
Yes. Copper-tone and dark bronze colored aluminum give a warm, rich roofline at a fraction of the price of real copper. You keep the light weight and rust resistance of aluminum, and because the color is applied at the factory, there is no repainting.
Yes. The color is a baked-on factory finish, not paint added after installation, so it resists fading, chipping and chalking through long, humid Georgia summers. Aluminum also does not rust, which counts in a climate where gutters stay wet for days after a tropical storm passes through.
