While copper might be an expensive roofing material, it is still one of the most preferred choices by homeowners. Due to the durability and longevity of the copper roof shingles, this is probably the last roof that you will install during your lifetime. Copper has a high resistance against weathering. It can also withstand damages caused by UV rays, hail, wind, rainfall, and dry climate condition.

With the experience of the roofing contractor, they can pound or apply pressure on the copper to assume different shapes.

Installation

It is quite complex, and the roofer will need to have factory experience to fulfil the task. Proper installation can greatly increase the longevity of your roof.

Copper is a high-end roofing material and it is expectedly more costly compared to the traditional options. Nonetheless, copper shingles can last for a couple of centuries. Since most homeowners cannot afford the cost of the copper shingles, they will instead choose to introduce this on the key areas of their roof. The average cost of the copper roof shingle is about $40,000 for a roof that is 2,500sqft. The price may still vary depending on your location, complexity and the size of your roof. Your expenses may also increase if there is an old roof that the contractor needs to remove.

Not a lot of roofing contractor will be capable of installing a copper shingle. Thus, looking for a roofer that can help you might be a challenge. Prescreening process is also necessary to ensure that you will be hiring an experienced and insured roofer.
