This section below show some cupolas I've built and in some cases installed.
My fabrications are built at least twice as sturdy as standard house
construction. Below that are some examples of different styles made by the Amish community in Pennsylvania I can order for you. Those images also can help give you stylistic ideas to have me build for you in any size that is built stronger to last. |
Client:
Jim and Dune Hempleman in Antioch,
Illinois. Since it will not have a wood structure underneath
this copper I made this with an extra thick 32oz copper. This is
the first time I used copper pipes for the standing seam covers
for a better look and stronger.
Here is the cost breakdown: $1,215 for the 32oz
copper at the rate of $50 per square foot x 24.3 Cost: $3,522 w/crate & truck freight to Illinois (1/17) To see all 62 fabrication photos of this
project go to my business

Client:
Usman Mughal in NW Portland
Oregon. He contracted with CBD to build him this
custom copper cupola along with a pair of similar matching
chimney caps. This solid 20oz copper
covered square cupola was custom made at a 6/12 pitch roof. This
was made 40" wide across the inside of the base.
154.2 # final weight w/o lower skirting
- 26.4# wood weight - 11.2# SS screen weight = 116.6# total copper weight X $28 per # = $3,264.80 for all the copper + $178.23 for 13.71 ln' of hardwood X $13 + $360 for 18 sq' of SS screen X $20 = $3,803.03 sub total + $900 for 36 sq' or 45.63# of copper for the skirting below cupola X $20# = $4,703.03 total I later added 4 corner covers over the wood trim boards on the base below the copper shown here.

Client: Brown-Umberger - This vented turret was built to cover the electric motor housing protruding up out the roof of their house after installing an elevator inside. I designed, built, and covered this turret with copper. The roof was covered with a cute 400 pc. diamond pattern copper shingle that took 2 weeks to cover. The base is 6' wide with the long side being 10' tall. The roof is 8' wide. These weigh about 750# Each, for a combined weight of 1,500# in all.

Client: Edwards - 94" wide cupola, sides covered in aluminum, stainless steel screen, concave copper clad roof, a large Rooster style weathervane mounted. The roof construction is at least twice as strong a standard house construction with 13" centers, 3/4" plywood, high temp Water & Ice Shield underlayment, and 80 year 20oz copper cover sheeting. We called for a crane to lift this 600# cupola up over their 2 story house in Silverton, Oregon. This was installed 12/5/11 after spending over a month building it. .
Cost: $8,160
delivered & installed + cost of crane operator - Silverton, Oregon (12/11) |
Client: Bardana - Cupola for their Gazebo This was a custom classic Tuscany style cupola I made for a local client in Lake Oswego, Oregon. It is 4' wide at the base and the roof is 5' wide for a 6" eave. The roof is designed to the same 6/12 roof pitch as the gazebo we mounted it on. I covered it in 20oz copper. This cupola was built with 56 separate 2x4 boards that were angle cut, glued, and held together with screws. There are no nails. The eaves were made with 2x6 boards. There are 83 wood pieces to this cupola you see here. It is strong enough I am certain it could handle a full ton set on top of it. We also covered their entire 11' wide gazebo roof with new plywood and 20oz copper after stripping off the rotten wood shakes. This shot below is a few months after completion showing the early tarnishing of the new copper roof. Cost: $7,500 complete w/copper reroofing installed in Lake Oswego, Oregon (1/11)

Matching Cupola (pair of chimney caps) with weathervane mount & built-in soft lighting |
This is a matching cupola that is just a couple inches smaller than the small chimney cap shown above, but still taller with the taller base to sit on the roof. I had to do something a bit different with working out a soft glow light inside and rig up the security flood light in the base. Total cost for
this 3 unit project: $8,500 w/crates To
