What makes gutter work on Raymond's old houses different?
Gutter work on Raymond's old houses is different because the eaves were built by hand long before standard gutter sizes existed. Dun-Rite Seamless Gutters, Inc. measures each run and forms the gutter on site to that length. On a mid-1800s house near the courthouse, the two ends of one porch roof are rarely the same height, and the pitch has to be set by eye and level rather than by the trim line.
Raymond's history is visible on almost every block: the town was the site of an 1863 battle in the Vicksburg campaign, and several buildings from that period still stand. Owners of those houses usually want gutters that do not draw attention.
Should a historic Raymond home get copper or aluminum gutters?
A historic Raymond home can take either; copper matches the period, and dark aluminum costs far less. Copper gutters are $25 to $40 per linear foot installed, are hand-soldered at every seam and weather to brown and then green over ten to fifteen years. Aluminum in classic bronze or royal brown runs $1,200 to $3,500 for most homes.
What about newer homes and the land around Raymond?
Outside the old town, Raymond is mostly houses on acreage, and the questions there are about water volume and where it drains. Around the Hinds Community College campus and along the roads toward Bolton and Clinton, lots are large and tree cover is heavy.
- Long rooflines get seamless gutters formed in one piece per run.
- With room to trench, an underground drain tie-in at $300 to $800 per run moves water well away from the house.
Raymond is one of five Hinds County cities on the Dun-Rite service area list.
