Copper Roofing

Often, a copper roof will outlast the structure it covers.

Copper is a pure, natural material with the added attraction of unique changing visual characteristics.  Offering and effectively indefinite design life, it is extremely durable and resistant to corrosion in any atmosphere, requiring no decoration, cleaning and virtually no main enhance other than the removal of debris that may fall into the gutters.  Copper is environmentally friendly, fully recyclable, safe to use and can be worked in all temperatures. Tried and tested, copper is the most trouble-free material for roofing.

Hildesheim Cathedral roof was installed in 1280 and is intact to this day (over 800 years old!).

The Romans used copper as a roof material for the Pantheon in 27 BC and many of the great churches of medieval Europe were roofed with copper. 

  • Standing seam roof copper is rated for resistance to the highest winds in Underwriters Laboratories' tests (UL-90).

Copper Patina (Naturally Developing Protective Covering)

When Copper is exposed to the weather elements, it protects itself by developing a Patina (also called verdigris) over time which reforms if damaged, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion in virtually any atmosphere. It’s the same look that the statue of liberty is sporting, because… you guessed it, the statue is made of copper.

Roofing Copper

There are basically three ways of getting copper onto your roof -- as a pre-measured continuous covering - a "standing seam copper roof" or a copper roof formed from smaller copper panels, and as copper shingles.
Copper roofing sheet is sold by weight, with the thickness measured in ounces (oz) per square foot; 16 oz cooper sheet is typically used for residential roofing applications, while 20 oz copper sheet is used for commercial applications. Copper sheet for other purposes may be sold by gauge, where the higher the gauge the thinner the material.

Customers Love Us!

We needed a new roof due to a tree issue, so I went online and found Pro Roofing. I called several roofers and found the company to be very pleasant speaking with. All scheduled appointments were kept, and they always arrived on time. The prices were very fair, and the owner actually saved me some cash. I enjoyed the experience, and recommend them to anybody who needs a roof or a roof repair.


At my business my roof was leaking for the third time after a roofing contractor had already fixed it twice.  In desperation I called Pro Roofing and they were able to find the real problem, clean up the previous contractors mess and get my roof fixed.  They also took care of the interior damage.  I have had two more roofs and an apartment deck repaired by them.  Once I had a problem and they returned immediately to make good on their work.   Their prices are always reasonable.  These guys are great!
