Specializing in historic box gutter restoration in Southern Indiana — soldered lead-coated copper, old-school craftsmanship, lasting results.
Box gutters are a defining feature of older homes in Southern Indiana — built-in, wood-lined troughs that sit at the eaves and carry water away from the structure. When properly maintained, they last generations. When neglected, they rot, pull away from the fascia, and let water penetrate the walls and foundation.
Great American Roofing specializes in box gutter restoration using soldered lead-coated copper — the same material and technique used when these gutters were originally built. We don't patch with caulk or cover with aluminum. We restore them correctly, and the results last.
The correct material for historic box gutter restoration. Soldered seams create a watertight channel that moves with the structure through seasonal temperature changes.
Damaged wood substrate is replaced before relining. Skipping this step leads to premature failure — we address the cause, not just the symptom.
Proper downspout sizing and positioning is part of every box gutter repair. Water that can't drain fast enough will back up and overflow into the structure.
Every box gutter job includes a complete assessment of the surrounding roofing system — flashings, valleys, and the transition between the roof surface and the gutter.
Most roofers don't work on box gutters — the soldering skill and material knowledge required is outside standard shingle installation. Great American Roofing has been doing this work for 29 years. If you have box gutters in Aurora, call us before someone talks you into replacing them unnecessarily.
