Cupolas are a sophisticated architectural feature often used in high-end homes to add both elegance and functionality to the roofline. These structures, typically perched at the highest point of the roof, are designed to enhance the home’s exterior by introducing a timeless and refined element of design. Cupolas can be crafted in various shapes, including square, round, or octagonal, and are made from premium materials such as copper, lead-coated copper, freedom gray copper, zinc, or aluminum which age beautifully over time and complement the luxurious aesthetic of upscale homes.

Functionally, cupolas allow hot air to escape from attics or large spaces, improving airflow and reducing moisture buildup. Aesthetically, they add charm and elegance, often featuring windows, louvers, or intricate details that complement the building’s design. Cupolas can be custom-made to fit any style, from rustic to contemporary, making them a versatile architectural feature that enhances both the form and function of a roofline. Beyond their visual appeal, cupolas serve practical purposes by providing natural ventilation and allowing sunlight to filter into the interior. In larger estates, they may function as focal points for grand entryways, gazebos, or garden structures, often featuring intricate details like arched windows, louvers, or decorative finials. Weathervanes of various styles can be added atop these structures. Custom-designed to match the architectural style of each home, cupolas add a distinctive touch of sophistication and are an enduring symbol of luxury and craftsmanship.

Dormers are architectural features that extend vertically from a sloped roof, usually housing a window or vent, and are clad in copper or other durable metals. Dormers add functional space to the upper levels of a building, often increasing natural light and ventilation in attics or top-floor rooms. Copper dormers, specifically, stand out due to their unique aesthetic appeal and practical benefits.

Zinc and copper dormers combine beauty, durability, and sustainability, making them a valuable addition to both traditional and modern architecture.

There are many names for leader boxes, sometimes called scupper boxes, rain collectors and collector boxes. Leader boxes all serve the same function — they aid in the collection of rain water to give downspouts time to drain excessive rain. We can also design them as a decorative attachment to downspouts.

Roof vents serve two main purposes: air intake and exhaust. They come in many different shapes and sizes. Intakes are usually placed in the soffit area, but sometimes are placed on the roof near the eave. The exhaust vent is found near the ridge of the roof and is sometimes integrated into the roof system on top of the ridge.

Snow Guards are designed to hold snow or ice packs that develop on the roof and allow them to melt rather than avalanche. This avalanching snow can cause damage to gutters, landscaping and anything else around the perimeter of a home.
