Quick answer
Regency work centers on gutters that match larger, well-kept homes: soldered copper, heavier seamless aluminum and steel, 6-inch systems for big roofs, guards under mature trees and buried downspout drains that keep lawns clean. We also replace hail-dented runs and document damage for your adjuster. Call us to talk through materials for your house.
Regency was planned and built in the 1960s as a single 450 acre community, bounded by West Dodge Road, 96th Street, Pacific Street and Interstate 680, with a 25 acre lake at its center. Because it was planned all at once, the streets and lots have a consistent scale, and the houses share an era even when their styles differ.
Many Regency homes have been updated inside and out over the years, and gutters are often part of those projects. Owners replacing a roof or siding commonly want a gutter that matches the new exterior rather than the original builder product. That makes Regency one of the places in Omaha where we install the most copper and heavier gauge metal.
Large 1960s homes and their rooflines
Regency houses tend to be broad, with large roof planes, hips, and sometimes slate or heavy architectural shingles added in later remodels. Big planes send a lot of water to each run, and long eaves need well-placed outlets. On most homes we size to 6-inch gutters with 3x4 downspouts and space hidden hangers closer on runs that take snow slide from steep sections.
Copper suits brick and stone exteriors here, and it is soldered at every seam and corner instead of sealed, so the joints are permanent. Copper must hang on copper hangers with copper fasteners, because mixing metals causes corrosion. For owners who want dent resistance without copper, Galvalume steel is the other option we often fit on these larger homes.
Hail, lake trees and drainage
A 2025 analysis of NOAA and FEMA data ranked Nebraska first in the nation for hail risk, with an average of 534 hail events a year from 2021 through 2024. Aluminum gutters dent easily under large stones. Copper and steel dent too, but heavier metal holds its shape better and patches more cleanly, which is one reason Regency owners ask about them after a storm.
Mature trees line the lake and the streets, so leaves and seeds are a steady load in spring and fall. Larger homes also mean larger lawns that owners want free of splash blocks and long extensions. We often run underground PVC drains from each downspout to emitters in the lawn, which keeps water off the foundation without clutter.

Six services Regency owners ask for
Copper Gutters
On larger brick and stone Regency homes, soldered copper with matching downspouts and brackets weathers to a deep patina that suits the house over time.
More on this service6-Inch Seamless Gutters
Broad roof planes send more water into each run than a standard gutter holds. Six-inch seamless runs with 3x4 outlets keep up in heavy summer rain.
More on this serviceSteel Gutters
For owners worried about hail, Galvalume steel holds up better than aluminum against large stones and ladder bumps, with a range of painted finishes.
More on this serviceUnderground Downspout Drains
Large Regency lawns look better without exposed extensions. Buried PVC lines carry water to pop-up emitters well away from the foundation.

Mature trees near the lake drop leaves and seeds all season. Stainless micro-mesh keeps gutters clear on tall roofs that are hard to reach safely.

FAQ
Gutter questions from Regency
Is copper worth it on a Regency home?
On a brick or stone house you plan to keep, copper lasts much longer than aluminum and needs no paint. It costs considerably more up front, and it should only be installed with soldered seams and copper fasteners. For owners who want durability without that cost, Galvalume steel is a solid middle option. Our copper gutter page explains how it ages.
How do copper gutters change color over time?
New copper is bright and shiny. Within a few months it darkens to brown, and over many years in the open it can develop the green patina seen on old buildings. How fast that happens depends on rain, sun and exposure. Some owners like the early brown tone and others wait for the green. Both are normal and do not affect performance.
Do steel gutters resist hail better than aluminum in Regency?
Steel is harder and resists denting from moderate hail and ladder contact better than aluminum. Very large hail can still mark it. Steel is heavier and needs sealed cut edges to avoid rust, so installation details matter. For homes in a high hail area, steel is a reasonable choice if the look and weight suit the house.
Can downspouts on a Regency lot drain underground to the lake side?
Downspouts can be piped underground to emitters in your own lawn, sloped so water reaches daylight away from the house. They should never connect to a sanitary sewer, and we always call 811 to mark buried utilities before we dig. Where water ends up after it leaves your yard depends on grading and local rules, which we respect.
