Gutter Supply Chicago supplies gutter materials in Chicago, IL in three options: aluminum, galvanized steel and vinyl. Compare them below and pick the one that fits the job and the budget.
For most Chicago homes, aluminum is the best balance of cost, weight and rust resistance. Choose galvanized steel when the job needs extra strength, and vinyl for low-cost sectional repairs on small jobs.

Aluminum is the most common choice for Chicago homes because it is light, does not rust and can be formed into seamless gutters on site. Galvanized steel is stronger and heavier, and vinyl is the lowest-cost option but can become brittle in very cold weather.
We carry aluminum, galvanized steel and vinyl gutter supplies. We do not sell copper, zinc or galvalume.
It is best to keep the same material across the gutter system. Mixing metals such as aluminum and steel can cause corrosion where they touch.
