Best Choice For: Custom or historic architectural metalwork, historic home gutter systems, heavy-gauge copper gutters, long-lasting steel gutters, or modern high-end accent fabrication.
Choose Sheridan Sheet Metal if you have a historic property or want specialized heavy-gauge metalwork, custom steel/copper profiles, or custom architectural metal components. Sheridan Sheet Metal has expert craftsmen who specialize in historic property and historic home restoration, in addition to Union metalworkers for all metal installations. For heavy-gauge copper or pre-finished steel gutters handcrafted to exact non-standard architectural dimensions, Sheridan Sheet Metal has the expertise and tenure in the community to get your project accomplished quickly and correctly. If your property requires custom hand-cut miters, custom-fabricated leader heads (conductor heads), and soldered seams rather than standard pop-riveted or caulk-sealed joints, Sheridan Sheet Metal is the gutter installation company you need.
Best Choice For: High-capacity standard drainage, premium leaf protection, and white-glove hands-off maintenance.
Choose The Brothers That Just Do Gutters if you’re looking for standard gutters with gutter cleaning services after the installation. For properties with standard roof-edge profiles, Brothers Gutters provides 6-inch high-flow installations and ongoing cleaning/maintenance programs. They offer digital quoting and scheduling, and post-installation gutter cleaning for those who don’t want to (or can’t) maintain their gutters.
Best Choice For: Homes using slate, tile, or cedar shake roofs, or homes that need full roof-and-gutter restoration simultaneously.
Choose Garlock-French Roofing if your home is a Tudor, Mediterranean, or Georgian revival estate built with delicate slate tiles, clay tiles, cedar shakes, especially those with built-in hidden (“box”) gutters. Garlock-French specializes in the entire building envelope, tile/slate preservation, and integrated water management. Using experienced employee crews trained in these delicate materials, they ensure that gutters, flashing, and slate/tile repairs are installed as a single, watertight roofing system.
