RW Mulligan: Metal

Copper

When properly installed, copper metal work adds an element of prestige and distinction to your home. RW Mulligan craftsmen are experts in the installation of standing seam and flat seam copper roofs as well as roofs for bay windows, barrel dormers, and cupola tops. You might even opt for copper roofing shingles to create a most unique look and durable roofing system. We also fabricate and install custom copper saddles, pans, flashing, and chimney caps.

Copper Gutters and Downspouts

Copper gutters and downspouts provide a finishing touch that an attractive home deserves. For "high-end homes" with a long life cycle, such as those with slate or tile roofs, copper is the natural choice as it is extremely durable and often lasts upwards of 50 years. As the material is exposed to the elements, a natural weathering process called patination begins to change its appearance from shiny, golden-red, to a rich, deep bronze and finally, to a turquoise green.

Copper installation is a specialty craft within the roofing industry, requiring difficult to acquire skills and the metal, itself, is more expensive than the more commonly used aluminum. These two factors will make the job somewhat more costly, but the charm, prestige, and longevity, along with the value they add to your home, makes copper gutters a viable and attractive option

Aluminum Gutters and Downspouts

The most popular choice of materials for gutters and downspouts is aluminum. Homeowners and builders choose this option because of its durability, affordability, color availability, and ease of installation. Properly fabricated and installed aluminum gutters will give many years of maintenance-free service and pre-finished aluminum does not require painting. RW Mulligan uses only rugged, .032 guage, electrostatically powder coated aluminum, providing the optimum strength and durability essential to any gutter system. Aluminum is certainly the best choice for homeowners who want high quality and an affordable price.
