Materials and maintenance
Compare options, upkeep and the details included in a written scope.
Compare the tradeoffs
Aluminum, steel and copper have different appearance, weight, finish and maintenance considerations. Sectional and seamless systems also involve different project conversations.
Plan upkeep
Trees, debris, access and gutter guards can affect maintenance. Ask what is included in the written scope, how finish changes are handled and what ongoing care the provider recommends.
