My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Edging on Roof

14 years ago
Is the edging on the roof copper? I love the incorporation of a different material on the roof, especially if it rains. I can imagine the sound must be interesting.

    Yes, it's gotta be copper. That is truly an awesome detail! Love that it's swept up at the ends like that. Adds some really nice curves.

      where can i get the roof edging ?
    • 13 years ago
      Yes the roof edge is copper standing seam. Copper is expensive, but will last a lifetime. In Vermont we have lot's of contractors who will install Copper standing seam.

      What is model of the rest of the roof? Would you use on a Tudor?

      I like the wood shingles, and the copper trimming, it is very unique. So the materials on the roof are made from natural items, are these materials good for places that get a lot of snow? I think it would be cool to have a roof like that. http://www.aplusroofingmasonry.ca/index.php/roofing-services.html

      This project is in Vermont, so it gets plenty of snow.
