Grant started The Alexander Copper Company while working for his dads construction company where he spent much of his time rebuilding box gutters. Box gutters are built into the house so it is a type of woodworking that requires a commitment to craftsmanship. The fact that it is such difficult work convinced Grant, a former marine, licensed EMT, and Cincinnati State student that he could make a living designing and building copper sheet metal cornices and traditional box gutters. A cornice is generally any horizontal molding that crowns a building so part of the structure that makes up a cornice is often a box gutter. It is a shame that the beautiful work on this Northside home is on the roof where nobody can see it!
