Copper Gutter Installation on a Historic Scarsdale, NY Colonial
At first glance, mixing K-style gutters with half-round downspouts might sound unconventional—but in fact, it’s a timeless match. K-style gutters, known for their crown-molding-like profile, offer excellent water capacity and sharp aesthetics. When combined with half-round downspouts, the system achieves a distinctive, refined look that enhances both performance and curb appeal.
The home itself is a textbook example of colonial architecture, with white clapboard siding, dark shutters, antique-style windows framed in traditional trim, and stone accent walls that echo the region’s historic roots. This made the classic white gutter system feel right at home—functionally strong while stylistically true to the original design.
We also added copper gutter guards to the system—an elegant solution that keeps debris out while adding a touch of sophistication. Copper is not only beautiful but long-lasting, aging into a natural patina that complements traditional exteriors like this one.
