Full Gutters:
With good measurements we can supply custom gutter lengths. Possibly preassembled and sealed ready to install, but as you can imagine they are tricky to ship across the USA, so the shipping crates and truck freight may be rather costly. We have had clients come here with a large rental truck to transport as long as 37' copper gutter lengths set on rubber pads over the hull extending out over their cab.

2" x 3" Aluminum downspout Leaf-catcher

Crocus style copper rain chain/cups
for use as a downspout on the right

Copper & Brass Rain Chain/Cups (funnels)

These alternatives to a closed downspout pipe can be use, as long as you have a good system to catch this water under it and channel it away from the house foundation. It is best to remove the end-cap and bend the floor of the gutter down to direct the water into the top of the rain-cups. This helps prevent debris from forming a blockage over the outlet. I use a 1/4" stainless steel eye hook or place a hidden hanger above for attachment. These also come in a 3 funnels per foot without the chain link between them, as seen above.

Our exclusive stronger expanded metal hinged leaf screens
with a black powder bake finish and 4 clip/hinges per 4' screen section

Subject: Thanks for the leaf screens

David and Tia,

This past weekend I finally finished installing the leaf screens I purchased from you. They are definitely the best ones I've seen. Besides their nice appearance I really liked how I could shape them to fit the unusual spots. We have 45 degree inside and outside corners on some of our gutters, plus 90 degree. I was able to cut the screens for a nice "no gap" joint in the corners and mold them to fit snugly at the hip areas of the roof. I'm hoping these hold up to the snow and ice this winter. If they do then in the spring I plan on buying more to do my parents house.

Thanks for providing such a fine product!

Subject: Re: Custom copper sheet metal Leaf-catcher fabrication

Dave:
Attached are 5 snapshots of our house, 4 of which show your products. The installer finished the project just before "Hannah" dumped a fair amount of rain on us. In the front, I have temporary drain pipes to get the water away from the house. That will be replaced with an underground drain after which some new landscaping will be done.

I was not 100% pleased with the contractor so I went back and corrected a couple of mistakes myself. But all in all I am pleased with the results. I know I won't have any mildew or moss problems like I used to have with my cedar roof and white aluminum gutters that I just couldn't clean up.

I very much appreciate your products and the info that is available on your web site. If I were ever to move to your part of the country, I would contract with you to install whatever my house needed in the way of gutters and drains.

Stay healthy,
Al Palmer (Brinklow, Maryland)

Custom Copper Sheet Metal Fabrication FAQ

(like: turret roof caps, gazebo roof caps, chimney caps, decorative scuppers, and such)

We price most projects under $1k to include cost of the wood frame crate and shipping in the continental USA, as well as the needed hardware like: copper rivets, copper nails or stainless steel screws, caulk, and mounting brackets. We separate these cost for larger orders like chimney caps or large volume orders. We will need to work out the specific details through e-mail to provide a written quote for your consideration. We do not quote prices for custom work over the phone, since there would be no record of it that way, and it usually takes us an hour or two to do the careful calculation to submit a proper quote.

Quality Control:

The core of my business is custom copper work, where I personally build these outdoor rain management products to order. I have NO employees to shuffle the work off to. Copper sheet metal is gauged by how much it weighs per square foot. I only work with 20oz solid copper sheet metal or thicker. I don't offer lower rates to work with thinner 12oz or 16oz copper (the type most other shops use to save material cost), since the savings to you would be so marginal; with the cost of labor and shipping being by far the largest cost with any custom work like this. To use a thinner copper would only save you about 5 to 10%. Hardly worth the savings. If these products were to be made with a thinner copper they would become easily dented and even wear holes through the metal just from the abrasion of the rain water over time, so that would make using copper a moot point: if they would wear out so quickly you might was well have them made in painted steel that will rust in about the same amount of time. I firmly believe planned obsolescence should be a crime, since it is intentional fraud. Although it seems to be standard operating procedure in most industry still today. I rail against this and do what I can to set a good example.

Cost:

Price Comparisons:
On this web site you will find the actual cost our clients had paid listed along with shipping costs on each project and dated, since my costs have needed to raise a little due to copper and diesel fuel doubling in cost since early 2006.

I make no secret that my volume wholesale cost for 20oz copper sheet metal is only around $9 per square foot. My prices may be well above that, but from all reports I've gotten from our clients; my quotes have been substantially lower than other similar shops. Plus there is the expense of rivets, special caulk, and the stainless steel fastening hardware I supply with each project. Our over-head is less than most other shops. One reason is the fact that I have no employees. This makes my work a bit slower, but that also makes us well worth the wait.

Cost of Complexity:
The cost is more or less due to the complexity, size of the project, shipping cost, and size of the order. Most projects run $45 to $55 per square foot w/shipping included determined by the final weight of the project, so you are only paying for what you get at that rate.

We will charge as little as $35 per square foot for small project shipped that are fairly simple, like a basic 8 sided roof cap where the final size will fit in a box that is around 21" cubed.

For a fairly simple fabrication like a roof ridge cap and flashing kits with 20oz copper can be as little as $15 per square foot without shipping charges.

Custom copper projects normally run $20 to $25 per pound not including shipping charges regardless of the copper thickness.

Very complicated projects could run as high as $250 per square foot for thick copper that is built with curves or that need to be hammered into shape, but that is very rare.

Minimum Charge:
We do have a $200 minimum charge on custom orders, but only a $100 minimum on the stock items listed above.

For large projects that cost over $500; we will weigh it once complete and adjust the cost down to what copper remained in the fabricated piece at the listed cost in the quote, so you are not having to pay for an inflated estimate or even the cut-off waste to make your project. It is also a detail you can double check when the project arrives. You will not find that kind of honest service any where else. That sort of honest work has earned us such a high reputation, where we were 1 of 9 finalist for the North-West Better Business Bureau's Business Integrity Award 2 years in a row just before the turn of the century.

Communication:

Reasonable and honest pricing is not even our best attribute. We have also gotten reports that we are the only company who is willing to take the time to work out the details on small one-time projects under $1,000. Don't just take our word for it, shop around and try to get plenty of quotes. We have links to several other on-line shops around the country on our Site Map page that we link to at the bottom of each web page on our web site.

Feel free to send us more links of sheet metal shops you find that we don't already list, and certainly report to us any shops that have very poor business practices, so we can remove their link or list a warning. On those other web site you are not likely to see large clear photos or any price examples of their custom work shown, so it will be really hard to shop around and compare without contacting them and having to suffer through their high pressure sales tactics. You also will not see digital photos of their fabrication and assembly work to be able to see the details of their work like we do. We have over 1,500 photos on our web sites that enlarge to full screen images (depending on your screen resolution). That's communication!

Payment:

For stock gutter parts we will need your full payment before they are shipped. It normally takes less than a week to get them shipped off to you.

For custom copper work once we have worked out all the details, for projects under $500 we require full payment in advance to schedule your project in. Most clients just mail us a check, but we have PayPal credit card service on our web site Contact page if you prefer, but it actually takes longer than US Postal service. As long as we have you e-mail address and phone # we will notify you when we have received your payment and provide digital photos of the progress. Then send you the tracking number when it has shipped.

For large orders of $500 or more we need only a half down deposit to begin construction. We will then provide digital photos of the progress for your approval. We will then need the balance before shipping. As stated above, even though we would have provided you a maximum cost quote, we will weigh the finished product to see if it actually took that much copper to make it, and it will be discounted accordingly. If it is over $2k, we will accept a 1/3 down payment to schedule your project in. Then need the second 1/3 payment once we have begun to send photos and progress reports. Then the balance once completed.

Sound too good to be true? The scale won't lie, and it is something you can confirm for yourself when it arrives. We were even awarded the Better Business Bureau's Business Integrity Award for our unusually honest business practices. That is a lot more than just being a member of the BBB, when we were selected from 1 in 1,000 members who were up for this award. We were finalist for that award two years in a row no less. I am sure it would have been more by now, but I assume our name has been permanently removed from the running now, so they can spread the kudos around.
