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.
