Copper Roofing

If you’ve ever seen copper roofing, you know how beautiful it can be. That’s not the only reason a copper roof is so great, though! Whether you’re looking to install new roofing for a home, office, or commercial building, you should consider copper.

Copper roofing:

Is extremely durable – you can expect your copper roof to last 40 or 50 years, at the very least. However, many copper roofs can last for a century or more and still look good! 

Doesn’t require a lot of maintenance – another reason copper roofing is appealing to many homeowners is its low-maintenance qualities. Your copper roof will look great for many long years, with virtually no upkeep or time-consuming maintenance. Once it has been built (properly) it doesn't tend to need too much tender loving care. 

Has a lot of protection – part of the reason copper roofing lasts so long is because it is very well-protected. It has a high resistance to not only severe weather, but also insect damage, fire, rotting, mildew, and corrosion. 

Enhances exterior facades – although they are common in historic neighborhoods and can be seen on many older homes, copper roofs can enhance any exterior, from contemporary office buildings to newly built homes. Whether in its original bronze color or in its green stages, copper roofing looks great. Over time, the copper oxidizes and develops a beautiful patina finish, turning a shade of light bluish green (like the Statue of Liberty). This patina coating actually protects the copper from corrosion! 

Can improve your home’s energy efficiency – metal roofing can help lower your monthly energy bills. It does this by reflecting the sun’s heat, rather than absorbing it, and keeping your home cooler. While installing a copper roof won’t eliminate all your energy problems, it can help keep your home more comfortable and improve the overall efficiency of your AC (since your home is being cooled more easily, your air conditioner doesn’t have to work as hard!), which can help reduce your monthly bills.
