Old-World Sheet Metal Craftsmanship
Custom Copper Roofing Built for New England Homes and Buildings
Copper is one of the most durable and attractive materials used in architectural roofing. It is commonly used for gutters, drain pipes, window bays, copper wall cladding, roof flashing, valleys, skylights, and custom roofing details, especially on slate roofing systems.
Because copper is malleable and can be soldered, it is especially useful for roof and side wall flashing details. When seams are properly formed and soldered, copper can help protect roof areas where snow collects, where ice damming occurs, or where older roof systems have a history of leaking.

Copper Roofing for Ice Damming and Leak-Prone Areas
Why Copper Works Well for Difficult Roofing Details
In roof areas where insulation improvements are limited by design, copper may be an effective solution for recurring ice damming and water intrusion problems. Properly soldered copper flashing and valleys can help protect areas that collect snow, ice, and water.
Where copper helps most
Copper is especially useful around valleys, dormers, chimneys, side walls, bay windows, roof transitions, and low-slope detail areas.
Why soldered seams matter
Properly soldered copper seams help create stronger water control in areas that experience snow buildup or repeat leaks.
Why copper pairs with slate
Copper and slate are often used together because both materials support premium, long-lasting roofing systems.
