This has to be the owner's favorite job to date, hands-down. He individually sprayed each copper shingle for a truly custom look. The result is a brand new roof that looks hundreds of years old. The project, in the San Francisco Bay Area of California, replaced aging - and fire hazardous - wood shakes with stunning copper diamond shingles. The new copper roof system already looks beautifully aged, as per the homeowners' wishes, and it will only look better with time. This permanent copper roof system will stand up to climate conditions, high winds and more, without sacrificing aesthetics. Gorgeous!

The owners wanted to do something permanent and distinctive with the mansard because it's an extremely prominent architectural element. They chose to have us fabricate new standing seam panels and supply our elegant copper diamond shingle for the mansard over the front door. We also designed and fabricated the custom copper gutter system for the same area.

But other than that, there is next to nothing that can go wrong with this type of roof and it will have a lifespan of many decades.
