Riverhead Building SupplyWarranty & Guarantee
Copper roofing work from Atlantic Roofing carries our standard 2-year labor warranty on workmanship, in addition to any manufacturer warranty available on the copper material itself. Given how much of copper roofing quality comes down to soldering and flashing craftsmanship rather than the material itself, the labor warranty matters as much here as the material warranty.
Our workmanship is backed by a 2-year labor warranty for added peace of mind.
Applicable manufacturer warranties are available on qualifying copper roofing materials.

FAQ
Copper roofing costs significantly more per square foot than asphalt or standard metal, driven mainly by material weight, copper's market price, and the hand-labor soldering and flashing work involved. Cost also moves with the scope (a small bay or portico accent vs. a full copper roof section), roof pitch, and complexity of the flashing detail required. This is general market-range education, not a quote from Atlantic Roofing. Because copper pricing is so material-driven, we recommend a written estimate specific to your project's exact scope.
Yes, and it's expected, not a flaw. New copper installs bright and gradually oxidizes over time, moving through darker bronze tones toward a natural blue-green or brown patina depending on your local environment and exposure. This weathering process is part of what makes copper roofing distinctive, and it happens to every real copper installation.
Yes. Most copper roofing requests we get are for accent applications like a bay window, portico, dormer, or garage entry rather than a full copper roof, and that's often the most cost-effective way to add copper's look and longevity to a home without copper pricing across the entire roofline.
Copper costs more than standing seam steel or aluminum but lasts longer and develops a natural patina finish that painted metal doesn't replicate. Standing seam metal is the better fit for a full roof replacement on a value and lifespan basis for most homeowners; copper is usually the better fit for accent sections where the look and rarity matter as much as the function. We'll walk through both against your goals and budget.
