We were building a high-performance 6,600 sq. ft Net Zero certified Home in White Rock with a very complicated roof structure including a turret roof. We knew this was going to be a challenging project for and metal roof contractor to manufacture and install which is why we hired Ace Copper Specialists for their excellent reputation and their impressive portfolio of custom architectural metalwork. > Not only have they delivered and installed a beautiful product, they were also a pleasure to work with and executed our and the architect’s vision perfectly. Their team has been very professional, paid great attention to detail and we were impressed by their safe work practices on this project. The turret roof is one of the main features of the exterior of this home and we’re glad we had such a talented team on-site to execute this challenging roof structure for us. We are extremely happy with the workmanship of Ryan and the rest of the Ace Copper Specialists team and our clients now have a beautiful custom Zinc roof that accommodates the rest of the home perfectly. > We highly recommend Ace Copper specialists for any project and we’re looking forward to collaborating with them again in the future. **★★★★★ — cdrg+RedTeam, July 2018** > Just got off the phone with Ryan and he was such a great help. I had a few technical questions on Zinc installation and he knew he had zero chances of selling me but he took all the time required to answer all of my question. > > That's what I call an Ace **Comment from Ace Copper Specialists:** > You are very welcome. Please keep us updated on your project, would love to see some photos when it's complete!! **★★★★★ — Amalie Michaux, Nov. 2015** > In short, We loved working with Ace Copper! From the time we met Paul and Ryan we knew we were in good hands. At first we didn't know where to start with the design and installation of our zinc bay roof. After our initial meeting with Paul we knew this was the company. His professional and charismatic personality was refreshing during a stressful time of building our home. His preliminary design really showed us that he understood what we were looking for even when we were not sure. The zinc bay roof installation was exactly what we wanted within the time frame. We have since always recommended Ace Copper to anyone who is looking for copper or zinc for their home. > Thank you Ace Copper for your help! > Amalie and Jim **★★★★★ — Jim Michaux, Nov. 2015** > From design suggestions to the install the work done by Ace Copper was exceptional. Would recommend to anyone. Would hire them again. **★★★★★ — Openspace Architecture, Aug. 2014** > We have recommended Ace Copper Specialists for many of our high end custom homes and have been impressed by the quality and innovation this team brings. > > Many metal roofing companies out there are all about the profits and about how fast they can get in and out, and about how limited their warrantee / liability is. Ace is the exact opposite. they are a family run business with "Pride in their Craftsmanship" being the guiding principle for their success and reputation. > > We have used Ace for many complex and difficult installations that other companies have said they can not do. Ace's expertise is metal work and in custom bending & folding allows them to make recommendations and provide working solutions to meet our specific design requirements. > > If I could work with Ace on every project we have in the firm, I would be happy and would sleep better knowing this Father and Son team is behind me 100%. > > Eric Pettit > OpenSpace Architecture **★★★★★ — chickmore, Aug. 2014** > I am constantly amazed by the commitment to quality the Ace provides.
