CUSTOM COPPERMade to follow the architecture.
THE WORK BEHIND THE FINISH

The details make the difference.

Copper brings warmth and character to an exterior. We plan the shape, joints and connections to suit the architecture, whether it’s a full gutter system or a carefully placed accent.

01

Gutters & downspouts

Half-round profiles and custom downspout details for a distinctive roofline.

02

Awnings & roof accents

Tailored metalwork for entryways, bays and architectural features.

03

Chimney details & flashing

Coordinate caps and flashing with the roof and the surrounding finish.

YOUR PROJECT, YOUR PRIORITIES

Select a starting point. We’ll confirm the right scope with an inspection.

Gutters & downspouts

Functional drainage with an architectural finish.

Plan copper gutter profiles, outlets and downspouts as a coordinated system. Curves and unusual rooflines require careful measurements.

What we look at
Drainage layout, dimensions, support, joints and connections to adjacent materials.
Bring to the conversation
Share the elevations or roofline sections you want to update.
Awnings & accents

Define an entry, bay or roof feature.

Shape and proportions matter as much as the metal itself. Plan the feature’s profile and how it meets the wall or roof.

What we look at
Projection, seams, attachment, flashing and water runoff.
Bring to the conversation
Bring a reference image and photographs of the proposed location.
Chimney details

Finish the cap and the roof connection.

Chimney caps and flashing serve different purposes. Review the top of the chimney and its connection to the roof as separate details.

What we look at
Chimney dimensions, cap configuration and flashing transitions.
Bring to the conversation
Share any known chimney leaks or existing cap concerns.
COPPER GUTTERS & DOWNSPOUTS

A roofline worth following.

Bring the gutters and downspouts into the design of your home. We review the roof shape, drainage route and connections, with profiles and details selected to suit the exterior.

Curved gutter details

Follow rounded bays and architectural curves with a coordinated gutter profile.

Decorative outlets

Collector and outlet details connect the gutter to the downspout.

Porch gutters

Coordinate the gutter, brackets and downspout with the entryway.

COPPER AWNINGS & ROOF ACCENTS

A distinctive finishing touch.

A copper awning or bay roof adds a focal point above a window or entrance. We consider the shape, proportions and wall connections alongside the surrounding siding and roofing.

A formed copper roof follows the shape of the bay below.

Roofline accents

Warm copper brings definition to roof edges, curves and transitions.

COPPER CHIMNEY CAPS & FLASHING

Details from top to base.

A chimney cap and chimney flashing have different roles. We review the cap fit and the roof-to-masonry connection as separate parts of the project, then coordinate their appearance.

Copper chimney caps

A shaped cap and screened sides finish the chimney top. The design is matched to the chimney configuration.

Copper chimney flashing

Plan the transitions where the roof meets the masonry, including the corners and water-shedding details.

UP CLOSE

Connections that complete the look.

Explore the downspout routes, gutter runs and the way copper works alongside brick and stone.

FROM FIRST LOOK TO FINAL DETAIL

Know what comes next.

A clear scope before work starts. Any changes discussed before they become part of the job.

  1. 01

    Measure the feature

    Review the location, dimensions and surrounding materials.

  2. 02

    Agree the design

    Define profile, metal specification, joints, connections and the expected weathering of the finish.

  3. 03

    Fabricate & fit

    Coordinate custom pieces with the roofing, masonry or gutter work in the approved scope.

  4. 04

    Review the details

    Check fit and visible transitions, then discuss copper’s changing appearance and ongoing care.

COMPARE THE SCOPE

What to look for in your estimate

  • Dimensions, metal specification and fabrication detail.
  • Attachment, flashing and drainage at each connection.
  • Natural patina expectations and coordination with surrounding materials.
BEFORE YOU GET STARTED

Good questions.
Straight answers.

(630) 988-0029
Will copper stay bright?+

Copper naturally changes color as it weathers. Its finish develops over time and varies with exposure and environmental conditions.

Can copper be part of a larger roof project?+

Yes. Copper flashing, gutters and accents can be planned together with roofing and other exterior work.

How is custom copper priced?+

The dimensions, metal specification, fabrication and installation details affect the estimate. We review the design and scope before quoting.
