Why Copper
Why Homeowners Choose Copper
Copper is the roof you install once. It outlasts almost every other material, asks for next to no maintenance, and weathers to a living patina that turns a roof into a defining architectural feature.
- A 60–100+ year lifespan — often outlasting the structure itself
- Develops a living patina over time, from bright copper to deep verdigris
- Virtually maintenance-free — won't rot, crack, curl, or burn
- Adds lasting architectural value and curb appeal
Local Context
Why Hinsdale Homes Choose Copper
Hinsdale pairs a deep stock of historic DuPage homes with a steady run of high-end custom builds, and copper fits both — on bay and turret roofs, dormers, conservatories, entry canopies, and the half-round gutters and finials that finish a considered house. On the older homes copper is the period-correct material; on the new custom builds it’s the architectural statement. Both demand profiles fabricated to match the design and soldered to last — exactly what we form in-house and bring down to Hinsdale.
- Historic DuPage homes where copper is the period-correct material
- High-end custom new builds using copper as the architectural statement
- Bay, turret, dormer & conservatory details that demand custom-formed copper

FAQ
Common Questions
Do you install copper roofing in Hinsdale?
Yes — we regularly take copper work in Hinsdale and the surrounding DuPage communities from our Arlington Heights base. Copper is a specialty, so we travel to it. Call (877) 850-5292 and we’ll get you on the schedule.
How long does a copper roof last?
Properly installed, a copper roof commonly lasts 60–100 years or more — it often outlasts the building itself. That longevity, plus near-zero maintenance, is why it suits Hinsdale’s historic and custom-built homes.
Will the copper change color over time?
Yes — that’s part of its appeal. Copper starts bright, darkens to a warm brown over the first few years, and eventually develops the green-blue verdigris patina. Each stage is protective and intentional; we’ll walk you through what to expect.
Do you fabricate the copper yourselves?
Yes. We form the pans, flashing, gutters, and ornamental details in-house and cut everything to your roofline — whether matching a historic profile or executing a custom-build design. With copper, the fabrication is the craft.
Can you add copper accents without re-roofing the whole house?
Absolutely. Copper bay, turret, and dormer roofs, gutters, and flashing details are common standalone projects that add architectural value without a full roof replacement.
