Cost:
On this web site you will find the actual cost our clients
had paid listed with each project and dated to take into consideration,
since the costs have needed to raise due to copper doubling in cost
in 2006 and diesel fuel now at over $4.50 a gallon.
The cost
is more or less due to the complexity, size of the project, shipping
cost, and size of the order.
Most projects run $45 to
$55 per square foot
w/shipping
included
determined by the final weight of
the project.
We will
charge as little as $35 per square foot for small project shipped
that are fairly simple, like a basic 8 sided roof cap where the
final size will fit in a box that is around 21" cubed.
For
a fairly simple fabrication like a roof ridge cap and flashing
kits with 20oz copper
can be as little
as
$15 per square foot
without shipping charges.
Custom
copper projects
normally
run $20 to $25 per pound not including shipping charges.
Very complicated projects could run as high
as $250 per square foot for thick copper that is built with curves
or that need to be hammered into shape.
We do have a $200 minimum charge on custom
orders, but only a $100 minimum on the stock items listed above.
When
our wholesale cost for 20oz copper sheet metal is only around $8.75
per square foot
our
prices may seem high, but from all reports we have gotten from our
clients; our quotes have been substantially lower than other similar
shops. Plus
there is our cost of rivets, very expensive caulk, and the stainless
steel fastening hardware we supply with each project. So you could
say we are truly the wholesale shop to retail clients. Our over-head
is less than most other shops. One reason is the fact that we have
no employees. This makes our work a bit slower, but that also makes
us well worth the wait.
For large projects that cost over $500; we will weigh it
once complete and adjust the cost down to what copper remained in
the fabricated piece at the listed cost in the quote, so you are
not having to pay for an inflated estimate or even the cut-off waste
to make your project. It is also a detail you can double check when
the project arrives. You will not find that kind of honest service
any where else. That sort of honest work has earned us such a high
reputation, where we were 1 of 9 finalist for the North-West Better
Business Bureau's Business Integrity Award 2 years in a row just
before the turn of the century.
