Copper Roofing
Leading Copper Roofing Experts
When it comes to metal roofing, copper is one of the most unique materials. Its brilliant color makes it stand out, and it’s among the more splendid options in residential metal roofing. A copper roof adds curb appeal to the home and excellent resale value.
Alamo Roofing Contractors offers a variety of metal roof types from standing seam, corrugated, aluminum to steel roofs.
What is Copper?
Copper is a shiny, reddish-brown metal. It’s an element on the periodic table and is found naturally in the earth. It is soft and highly malleable, meaning it can be shaped into any design you want. When installed on a roof, it can be made to look like brick, tile, shingles, and much more.
Types of Copper Roofing
While copper roofing looks great on any building and can be molded into any design you want, there aren’t many types of copper-specific roofing, and each one has its own intended purposes.
Continuous
Continuous copper roofing is manufactured and cut precisely for the job. It’s installed without joints, seams, or other breaks. It’s the most expensive option because it involves the most time and effort to manufacture and install to exact specifications.
Copper Panels
Copper panels are cut in standard widths and installed with joints and seams. Sometimes the seams are crimped together, and other times they’re welded together during installation. It is less expensive than continuous copper roofing.
Copper Shingles
Copper shingles are low in cost and can be installed like other shingles. They’re secured with fasteners to prevent a reaction during contact with other metals. They’re elegant, stately, and look great on any home.
Advantages of a Copper Roof
Increased curb appeal
One of the primary benefits of using copper as a roofing material is its curb appeal. Its bright copper color shines brilliantly from afar, making your home stand out. It increases your home’s resale value and assures new buyers that they are getting a sturdy, long-lasting roof.
Durability
Copper is very strong and durable, being able to withstand the harshest weather conditions. Thanks to its durability, copper roofing will last for fifty years or more with regular professional repairs and maintenance.
Lightweight
Copper roofing is very lightweight, so it minimizes the stress you put on your home’s frame, which is critical during heavy snowfall like we see in Portage every winter. The lightweight composition of copper roofing also makes it cheaper to install.
Impervious to mold, rot and fire
Copper has natural anti-microbial qualities that prevent it from growing algae, bacteria, mold, and other fungi. It’s also fire-proof, which is another significant advantage to all types of metal roofing.
Environmentally friendly
One of the most appealing things about metal roofing is its recyclable properties and the fact that it’s replenishable, sustainable, and eco friendly.

When working on older homes there are always issues and it was that for us. When Alamo was working on the facia they noticed brick issues and former facia not installed flat. They worked hard and corrected all of it. Our salesman Frank … More is beyond outstanding. A true asset to the team. He staying in close contact as any issues arrived to be sure they were not only resolved but were corrected in a most professional way. The team that installed the steep roof did an outstanding job. We waited for a few good rains before posting this review. And we are so pleased to say not only is it the most amazing roof install neat & beautifully appealing, but it does the job!! No more roof leaks :). I must also take the time to point out of Frank our Salesman services and roof inspection. We had several companies out and he was the only one that took the time to truly look at all areas of the roof. He discovered a bullet in the roof in a spot that was not leaking. He and my husband worked together so outstanding to be sure the police had it to process correctly. Never would we have thought such a thing would be in our neighborhood. The police pointed out it could have been from very far away. When the job was done Frank came by once again to be sure we were very pleased. We reviewed some of the unforseen issues and he was sure to do proper adjustments for our family. Never have we worked with such an honest and compassionate sales person. They also did an amazing job on the gutters. To say this company is good, 5 stars is not enough. They truly are such a wonderful group of folks to work with. Thank you. If our son's brother in law can not get to our siding we will be sure to have them do that as well. We have all the confidence they will do a great job on that as well. The old slogan from ghostbusters... who ya gonna call? Well for roofing issues it is Alamo Roofing... they are the best.

I recently had a mysterious roof leak that previous companies attempted to repair, while others couldn't begin to figure out where the leak was coming from. I called Alamo, Frank came out the next morning and in 15 minutes found the … More leak, quoted me an affordable price - and made certain the leak was repaired that same day - as we were expecting another "gully washer" of storms. Frank is personable, professional and has an attention to detail that is rarely seen - anymore. Everyone I met that day brought their "A" game. They have my business - as well as pop and ice cream that I gave them. LOL Call Alamo, meet Frank - all will be well.

I had a leaking roof from a skylight that was previously replaced by another company 13 years ago. That co, Ruel Roofing, came out to look at it and they were very unprofessional and slapped some tar around skylight and roof still leaked. … More Contacted Alamo and Frank came out, inspected roof himself, gave me a quote on high quality skylight plywood and shingles and had the job done to perfection in a very timely manner. Highly recommend Alamo Construction!
