This was just a simple roof cover I made for a general contractor: Wes Gerber Better Homes Design and Remodel Inc. 503-481-9332.

Montavilla Sheet Metal quoted $5k to $8k to make this copper cover. I was able to provide this along with the copper gutters and downspouts with assistance installing them for under $2k.

Here is one of our custom copper projects we did at 3565 N. E. 25th in Portland Oregon for a General Contractor named DAW Remodeling Co. rebuilding a house for David Lesh. The first photo shows the new copper, and the next photo shows the aged copper after a couple years when I returned to replace the steel gutters.

 The cost was $3,100 for the 155+ square feet of copper used to cover this arched entry roof.

The cost for the no-clog copper gutter system was $5,974.18.

The cost for the restoration of the 7' finial was $765

The cost for the 3 window well borders was $787.50

Here is the copper gutters and awning job we did for Dale Yocum's house that is just above the Metro Zoo, at 4343 S.E. Fairview Blvd in Portland Oregon.  It was completed in August of 2002. Here is the before and after shots of the back patio area:

Above shows how I had to cut into the siding to fit the awning frame solidly in place, as well as to fit the copper sheet metal roof flashing up under the siding, so it is sealed from the rain. The second photo shows the finished work with the new copper gutters I installed. Below shows the new cross braced I built for the awning with the 2 layers of 1/4" wood skin over it.

Below shows the Water & Ice Shield I stick to the wood roof surface as an underlayment for the copper, which ensures the screws will not be touching the copper. Then the copper sheet metal installed, along with the new copper gutters and downspouts.
