How long does it take copper gutters to turn green?

• <div><p>Oxidation is what causes copper to turn green. This oxidation is called a patina or verdigris, and in general, the process can take a few years. Your local temperature and humidity conditions play a big role, however; some gutters may not begin to turn green for 20 to 30 years if you keep <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/keep-copper-clean-clever-copper-creations.htm">them clean and maintained</a>. Some homeowners prefer the penny-like sheen of copper. In some cases, you can prevent oxidation by regularly using a specialized anti-tarnishing finish.</p></div>

Q: What are common problems with gutters?

• <div><p>Clogged gutters are one of the most common problems homeowners will face since excess debris from trees or other outside elements can prevent water from passing through properly. Other common problems include leaks and holes, which can usually be repaired with gutter sealant or caulk, as well as damaged gutters from strong storms or improperly pitched gutters. </p></div>

Q: Should you remove icicles from your roof?

• <div><p>It can be dangerous to remove icicles from your roof, so the best option is to treat the underlying issue instead, usually by ensuring proper insulation in your home. If you&rsquo;re concerned about immediate damage, you can hire a professional to remove the icicles and the snow accumulation on your home to prevent the issue from recurring. Just make sure you use a long-term solution, too, like addressing insulation problems or installing roof heating coils on your roof.</p></div>

Q: How far apart should downspouts be on gutter systems?

• <div><p>While it&rsquo;s possible to run a gutter for 30 to 40 feet without a downspout in some cases, you really should place a downspout every 20 feet. Too long of a gutter run without a downspout means that the downspouts you do have will more easily get overwhelmed since the gutters divert water from a larger portion of the roof to them.</p></div>

Q: Who do I contact to get gutters installed or replaced?

• <div><p>Hire a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/gutter-installation">gutter installation professional</a> to install or replace your gutters. If you&rsquo;re not sure where to begin your research, contact your roofing contractor. Most of them either have an in-house gutter technician or can provide trustworthy referrals to licensed gutter contractors. If you&rsquo;re installing a specific type of gutter, such as fascia-style or seamless gutters, make sure the person you hire has experience in the specific installation.</p></div>
