Why Copper.
Why It Matters.
Copper has been used in construction for centuries — naturally antimicrobial, highly corrosion-resistant, and extraordinarily durable. Copper flashing and gutters installed properly can last 50 to 100 years with essentially no maintenance.
But copper is not a forgiving material. It expands and contracts with temperature changes more than most metals. The soldering and seaming required for a watertight installation take real skill. And sourcing, handling, and forming copper correctly requires experience that most general contractors simply don’t have.
When you hire someone to do copper work on your property, you want a contractor who does it regularly — not one who is learning on your job.

What We Do
Copper Work Services We Provide
01
Copper Flashing
The most critical waterproofing detail in exterior construction. Copper flashing around chimneys, dormers, skylights, and roof-to-wall transitions is the premium choice for lasting performance — installed with proper soldering at seams and correct integration with surrounding materials.
02
Step Flashing & Counter Flashing
The chimney base and roof-to-wall intersection is where most water intrusion problems originate. Copper step flashing and counter flashing done correctly eliminates that problem for the life of the building.
03
Copper Gutters & Downspouts
The highest quality gutter option available. Heavy, durable, and developing a patina that looks exceptional on historic and high-end homes. Fabricated and installed with proper slope, secure attachment, and correct expansion allowances.
04
Copper Roofing Details
Valley liners, ridge caps, and decorative copper roofing elements for historic properties, custom homes, and commercial buildings where appearance and longevity are the priority.
05
Copper Capping & Trim
Copper window sills, door caps, and architectural copper trim details that add distinction to a property and perform exceptionally well over time.
06
Repair & Patching of Existing Copper
If you have existing copper work that has failed, pulled loose, or developed leaks, we can assess it and repair or replace the affected sections correctly.
Historic Properties
Copper Work on Historic Homes in Lancaster County
Lancaster County has a significant number of historic and older properties where copper is either original or architecturally appropriate. We work on these properties with care, understanding that the material and the details need to respect what is already there.
If you have a historic home in Ephrata, Lancaster City, Lititz, or elsewhere in the county that needs copper work done properly, we are one of the few contractors in the area with the experience to do it right.
A good copper installation on a Lancaster County stone farmhouse should look like it has always been there — because in a hundred years, it will be.
