A Typical Copper Conversation
Potential Customer: I'm building my dream house and I'd love a copper roof. Can you give me a rough idea of what it costs to install per square?
Chris: Typically, I tell my clients to budget between $15 and $20 per square foot for a re-roofing project using copper, which is usually four or five times the price of asphalt roof assemblies. The price of a finished copper roof will vary depending on the profile, gauge and hardness of the copper chosen, as well as the complexity and pitch of the roof. If that's out of your budget, there are some very good copper metallic finishes that always look impressive - and cost less than half as much - plus I've had good success with natural steel as a rustic metal roof material in mountain regions.
Potential Client: Sounds great. Where do I sign?**
**Little poetic license here, since not every potential copper customer becomes a customer.
