Copper flashing is a roofing material that acts as an extra layer of protection from leaks between roofing tiles and the rafters. One installs copper flashing, as opposed to aluminum or steel flashing, because it is more durable. For those concerned about aesthetics, copper flashing takes on a dark, greenish patina when exposed to air that some find attractive.

Also known as bay window hoods, these functional, yet decorative areas are simply a copper overlay of a framed roof area. The shape of the hood will be determined by the underlying structure. Each side can be either flat or with a "swoop", also known as a pagoda.

We will help you choose what's best for your style and home and something that meets your budget, don't be afraid to ask questions when you call if you are uncertain of something.

Copper flashing is one of the most durable of roof flashing materials. It is also one of the more expensive. Typical applications include chimney flashing, valley flashing on tile, wood shake, or slate roofs, as base, step and counter flashing at roof to sidewall intersections, or as exposed or concealed ridge and hip flashing.   Roof flashing is usually the last line of defense in the battle against water penetration.

Flashing forms the intersections and terminations of roofing systems and surfaces, to thwart water penetration. The most common locations for roof flashing are at valleys, chimneys, roof penetrations, eaves, rakes, skylights, ridges, and at roof-to-wall intersections.

By preventing this water entering your home you don't have to worry about water damage, mold, mildew, or cracked foundations and stained ceilings.
