When it comes to metal roofing, copper is one of the most unique materials. Its brilliant color makes it stand out, and it’s among the more splendid options in residential metal roofing in Houston. A copper roof adds curb appeal to the home and excellent resale value.
Copper is a shiny, reddish-brown metal. It’s an element on the periodic table and is found naturally in the earth. It is soft and highly malleable, meaning it can be shaped into any design you want. When installed on a roof, it can be made to look like brick, tile, shingles, and much more.
Types of Copper Roofing
While copper roofing looks great on any building and can be molded into any design you want, there aren’t many types of copper-specific roofing, and each one has its own intended purposes.
Continuous
Continuous copper roofing is manufactured and cut precisely for the job. It’s installed without joints, seams, or other breaks. It’s the most expensive option because it involves the most time and effort to manufacture and install to exact specifications.
Copper Panels
Copper panels are cut in standard widths and installed with joints and seams. Sometimes the seams are crimped together, and other times they’re welded together during installation. It is less expensive than continuous copper roofing.
Copper Shingles
Copper shingles are low in cost and can be installed like other shingles. They’re secured with fasteners to prevent a reaction during contact with other metals. They’re elegant, stately, and look great on any home.
Advantages of a Copper Roof
Increased curb appeal
One of the primary benefits of using copper as a roofing material is its curb appeal. Its bright copper color shines brilliantly from afar, making your home stand out. It increases your home’s resale value and assures new buyers that they are getting a sturdy, long-lasting roof.
Durability
Copper is very strong and durable, being able to withstand the harshest weather conditions. Thanks to its durability, copper roofing will last for fifty years or more with regular professional repairs and maintenance.
Lightweight
Copper roofing is very lightweight, so it minimizes the stress you put on your home’s frame, which is critical during heavy snowfall like we see in Houston every winter. The lightweight composition of copper roofing also makes it cheaper to install.
Impervious to mold, rot and fire
Copper has natural anti-microbial qualities that prevent it from growing algae, bacteria, mold, and other fungi. It’s also fire-proof, which is another significant advantage to all types of metal roofing.
Environmentally friendly
One of the most appealing things about metal roofing is its recyclable properties and the fact that it’s replenishable, sustainable, and eco-friendly.

The crew arrived when they said they would and got right to work.

The work is as we expected and they… More cleaned up behind themselves before they left. Would not hesitate to recommend to friends and family.
We have had Beck do 2 jobs for us. From the call to get an estimate each time, to giving us an estimate and completing in a timely manner. They were friendly, helpful and professional. Our project manager, Jesus and his team were very… More personable and completing in a timely manner and very thorough in their work and clean up of site. We highly recommend Beck for all your restoration needs.
Had a new roof put on my house today. Beck Roofing and Restoration , Brandy and Erik Jones did the job!! Excellent workmanship, courteous and pleasant company. Their company went above and beyond protecting all my property and personal… More things such as yard ornaments and flowers. Everything was covered with tarps , all scraps and nails were collected Completely before they left. Brandy & Erik worked with my insurance and satellite companies to ensure smooth operation. Owners oversaw the entire job to ensure that it was done properly and quality of work impeccably done. Their crew did excellent work in cleaning and left the resident so clean , you wouldn’t know they had been here. If you need your roof replaced or any restoration done definitely consider this company.
Will definitely be using this company for any future jobs 🥰. Very happy and satisfied customer!
Beck Roofing and Restoration is nothing short of AMAZING! They professionally walked us through the entire process of changing our entire roof. All of my questions and concerns were responded to timely. They are very knowledgeable in this… More industry and recommend what is best for their customers. I am very impressed with their fast turn around time , very meticulous, thorough and clean work. One very, very pleased customer here!
They have done a great job, honest, and gave me a great price. The job was clean and efficient. They were in and out in less than half of a day, and the gutters match amazingly. They don't even look like gutters! I highly recommend… More getting the screen!
Had a bullet come through our roof. Eric and his crew not only fixed the hole, but repaired another part of our roof a previous contractor had installed completely wrong that was leaking and we didn't even know! Great customer service… More and honorable work! Will be using again for future projects.
Erik and his team of professionals, set the gold standard for a company that earns a 5 star rating. I've never experienced such professionalism, punctuality, honesty, integrity, communication, and most importantly: exceptional work.… More Erik offered me advice based on honesty and taking care of the clients needs, rather than his bottom line. I have nothing but good things to say and will be using them again and recommending them to friends and family. Thanks for the awesome repair work!
Husband and wife team communicate well and update often with photos and videos of damage and repair. The final cost was close to the original estimate. The crew cleaned up everyday and they soft washed the front and back porches/decks,… More drive and walkways at the end. All areas of concern were repaired and the fresh paint/gutters make the house look 10 years younger!
I purchased a home that has a 20+ year old standing seam metal roof. I had a small leak coming from poor chimney flashing that needed to be repaired. I was having a hard time getting anyone to come out and look at it because it was such… More a small job. When I called Beck Roofing, they were very accommodating from the get go and also offered their service to do a full roof inspection while they were there.
Upon inspection, they noticed the ridge caps were installed with improper screws causing damage and rust on the panels. They gave me a bid to repair it correctly in order to preserve the life of the roof. It ended up being a much bigger job than originally anticipated yet they did not raise the original bid price once they uncovered other issues as they were removing the caps. This is so rare these days and frankly refreshing. They honored their bid! The crews were super, and the follow up by Erik and Sandy was amazing.
They also offer roof cleaning service as well.
I am so pleased how it all turned out and have no doubt this will extend the life another 25+ years.
I am so very thankful to Eric and his crew. I had a leak in my ceiling that no one else could seem to find or fix. Eric came and found the problem right away and we quickly scheduled it for repairs. He and his crew was amazing and very… More respectful of my property even when I wasn't home.
From the first phone call with Sandy to the end of the job, everyone was so helpful and understanding.
Thank you all so much for a job well done.
Everyone at Beck Roofing and Restoration has been amazing. They helped us mitigate and rebuild our house after we had many pipes bust in the freeze. They worked with us through every step of the process, help us custom build cabinets… More to be exactly what we wanted, and guided us though the decision making process. Then when it came time for our roof to be replaced, they took care of us once again. They took all the needed pictures for insurance documentation and supported us through the entire process twice. Brandy and Erik have been beyond amazing and we are so thankful for everything they have done to help us make this process easier and positive. We will definitely use them for any remodeling we do in the future. Thank you all so much!
