The work behind the roof

Copper work is where experience shows. From a flat panel roof to a lead-coated copper chimney flashing, we fabricate the pieces in our shop, make the final fit on site, and solder the joints by hand.

Copper panel roofing

Flat copper panels, carefully formed transitions, and hand-soldered seams. We give each joint the time it needs because the finish and the performance both depend on it.

Chimney flashings

Copper, lead-coated copper, and custom steel flashings made to the chimney and roof. Our Raymond project brings that work together with a substantial stone chimney and a blend of roofing systems.

A fit you can see

Angles and dimensions are measured before fabrication. The pieces arrive prepared, then receive their final adjustments on the building for a deliberate, fitted result.

Watch the work

Care in the preparation.
Craft in the finish.

Before the panels meet.

Pre-tinning coats the mating edges of each copper panel with solder, so solder is already between the panels when the joints are finished in the field.

A few things to know

About copper & metal.

Do you work with lead-coated copper?

Yes. The large stone chimney featured in our project gallery uses lead-coated copper with hand-soldered joints.

Is the metalwork made in your own shop?

Yes. We measure the building, fabricate the pieces in our shop, and make the final adjustments on site.

Can I discuss a specialty detail with you?

Absolutely. Call with the type of building, material, and detail you have in mind. Specialty copper and sheet metal are a core part of our work.
