About Copper Roofing
Copper roofing is the pinnacle of architectural metalwork. A copper roof develops a natural chemistry with the atmosphere — starting bright rose-copper, aging through russet brown, and eventually settling into the iconic verdigris green patina that defines historic capitals, cathedrals, and the finest estates. ADC Roofing shop-fabricates standing seam copper roofs, flat-lock copper wall and roof panels, and one-off architectural details: bay window caps, dormer roofs, cupolas, finials, decorative valleys, chimney crickets, and copper gutter/downspout systems. We source 16, 20, and 24 oz. cold-rolled copper (and lead-coated copper where salt exposure demands it) from Revere Copper, Aurubis, and Hussey Copper.
