Copper Roofs
"Why are copper roofs best for Charleston homes?"
The Iconic Charleston Patina: A copper roof is a living piece of art. It begins with a "Penny Bright" shine, matures into a deep "Statuary Brown," and eventually achieves the classic, sought-after Verdigris (green) patina seen on Charleston’s most historic landmarks.
Hurricane-Grade Durability: Because we use custom sheet metal fabrication for every project, your roof isn't just "installed"— it's fabricated to fit your home. Our precision-bent standing seams from 16-20 oz copper are designed to withstand the high-wind speeds and tropical storms common to the South Carolina coast.
A 100-Year Legacy: While asphalt shingles may last 15–20 years in the Low-country heat, a professionally fabricated copper roof is often the last roof a homeowner will ever need to install, significantly increasing the long-term value of the property.
Maintenance Costs: Once a copper roof is properly installed and the patina begins to form, it requires minimal maintenance. Unlike shingles that lose granules or metal that requires repainting, copper’s "finish" is a natural chemical reaction that heals itself if scratched.
