A Beef That Led to Brighton (And Why Copper Roofs Matter)
Needham homeowners often ask us: “Why is copper used in roofing?” The answer is simple—copper offers exceptional strength, beauty, and longevity. While it’s more expensive than other materials, a copper roof can last for centuries, making it a smart long-term investment.
For perspective:
The Pantheon in Rome had a copper roof in 27 B.C.
The roof of St. Mary’s Cathedral in Hildesheim, Germany, installed in 1280, is still intact today.
We can’t take credit for those roofs (though we’d gladly work on them if asked!), but we apply the same principles of durability and craftsmanship to every copper roof we install in Needham and beyond.

Dan came out on a Saturday afternoon to put on an emergency tarp after a tree smashed in a section of my roof.
He promptly returned my call, arrived on time, and did a good job for a very reasonable price. RECOMMENDED.

Called on Sunday due to finding water in a ceiling light fixture. Had my call promptly returned and within a couple hours Mr. Fox was at my house, examining the roof and providing suggestions to stop the ice damming that was causing my leaks. No repairs were necessary on this visit, however I would not hesitate to reccommend Fox roofing to friends and will be contacting them for future roofing repairs.

We needed some repairs on our roof recently. Danny provided the most reasonable estimate for the work we needed. He was prompt and very professional the whole time he was there. The place was cleaned up nicely when he was finished. He noticed a few other areas that needed attention and took care of those at no extra charge. I also, had a skylight window that wouldn't close properly and he spent an additional 2 hours of his own time to repair that as well. Best roofer I have ever dealt with. We will definitely call on him in the future. Highly recommended.

Danny Fox has been my roofer since I moved into my house 30 years ago. He is knowledgeable, dependable, and honest. He has kept the slate part of our roof in good condition and has replaced parts where necessary with asphalt shingles. He has also replaced gutters on the house. He will respond to your needs promptly and complete the work quickly, efficiently, and at the highest level of quality work.

We had an excellent experience with Daniel Fox Roofing Company. We re-roofed our current home 5 years ago and have never had an issue with the roof since Danny installed it. His prices were very reasonable and the workmanship was excellent. From estimate to completion, all went smoothly with NO surprises and no delays. We would highly recommend Daniel Fox Roofing!!

Danny was such a great contractor to work with. He is an expert at his craft and easily answered all of my questions about how the project was going to go. He and his crew exceeded my expectations because of the extra effort they made in picking up the small pieces of the old roof shingles. Highly recommended!
