How to Install a Copper Roof | This Old House
/ thisoldhouse
Imagine coming home and seeing that someone stole your roof
"You can't have anything in Charleston".
LOL!
Shingle over it and nobody will know it is there. Problem solved.
in the U.K they steal lead from your roof, 2000 in damages for 100 bucks. They would go crazy for this copper lol
Imagine moving to somewhere that doesn’t suck afterwards
With heavy rain and snow laying on a roof like this you have leakage. The best way is to do a double seam connection. I just did a double seam metal roof with 24 Ga. galvanized metal. It looks great.
Wow, this would last 0.4 nanoseconds in the UK without being stolen. Can it be electrified?
Probably it could, great thinking.
oh come on. London has town homes with copper stuff
It CAN be weaponized like everything else. ;-)
They’re using aluminum roofing nails, so it’s already a crude battery
It's not pure copper its a galvanized product so its essentially worthless. Pure copper sheats would be way too expensive to sell. Essentially its a base metal like Tin or Steel that has been either plated or sprayed with a copper coating.
This Old Millionaire's House really looks great!!
Everything is Terrific Kevin!
You should still put builders paper in between the tarp paper and that copper
Is nobody talking about the name on the panel break tool? Anyone?
Tried to keep his hand over it.
@@brianglade848 What a shame it would be if you were blocked.
I swear...I hate when they don't show the final product.
I personally like the new copper color. I wonder if there is a special coating that can be put on the copper so it will not turn green? I wish this old house would make a video in detail on how a person could go about making it so a copper roof can always look like it was brand new and that same copper color?
There's nothing one can do. Copper can be coated with a clear varnish to keep it shiny, but the sun would destroy that.
finish klik felsdak copper colour .. its not copper but this colour will hold for good years to come
What kind of Dap sealent you guys used for this roof that will not peel off when it gets hot during the summer and still hold?
I wonder if you have to regularly treat the copper to keep it from turning a black n green color
Verdigris is what makes copper roofs look awesome.
@@danmar007 Not a fan of the oxidation look 🤮
You could do some things to it, but i'm quite sure those things would shorten the life of your roof by a lot.
Does copper and aluminum contact cause corrosion
Yes.
@@Dino_Buk thank you
yes, you should never allow the two to be in contact
Should make a male and female and double lock the seam
With copper nails looks like the didn't . Electrolysis will destroy the aluminum nails
For people that don’t know, “dimpling”, the standing seam is the worst way to do this. Also, the ringlet in the brick should have lead tapped into it, followed by a proper sealant. Folks, if you ever decide on getting a copper roof, make sure you get a true expert, that does the copper roof correctly. This is absolutely, 100% wrong. Those seams should have been finished off, by using a double-lock system, not sealant and dimpling. This is sad.
1:20 **** break
Idiots used galvanized roofers to hold the drip edge down Galvanized reacts with copper...They sell copper roofers and Tex screws...They're not too expensive...
They were aluminium nails
@@hotdogs5265 stil , few more doll would buy some copper nails.
@@brianglade848 It's actually Tek, since we're doing corrections...I've used them too...In our local vernacular Tek's screws become "tex"...What are you, new?

@@hotdogs5265 Really? one would think that few bucks more would buy few copper nails.
Too bad they are touching it with bare hands lol
Don't use aluminum nails... And where's the rosin paper... What the heck
I love copper roof... I see lots million dollars homes but no copper roof...
I just unsubscribed because this Old House has become the New House.....and it is no longer useful to watch.......since it has become commercials...
copper clips aluminum nails are you serious
How many pennies?
only pre-1982 ones.
Only half the info another bad video. Labor and cost and show install
Copper…..AKA crack gold.
What's up with these ultra short videos lately? No way in hell to show how to install a copper roof in 3 minutes 😂
@@brianglade848 What's the plan???
@@brianglade848 Lobsta?
@@brianglade848 Okay, Karen!
Why is Kevin on this show.
Rumor has it. . . . He has some photographs of the Denver crew in some preeety compromising "positions". . . Shall we say. .
Amateur work, what a waste of copper. Steel nails? Snip and fold wall connection? Eave that's hardly locked onto the drip edge? NOT EVEN A PROPER STANDING SEAM? What a joke. Tom Silva seems to know his stuff generally but this is just a tragedy.
why tho

How to get your roof stolen
🤭
Indeed. 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
😂😂😂
That’s like $50,000 worth of copper
😅😂🤣 First thing I thought... but when they got to the gutters I thought they would be a faster, easier target.
Does using Aluminum nails and cast-iron clips cause corrosion because of different kinds of metals .I would’ve thought copper nails would’ve been an essential
Exactly same thing went through my head when I saw it.
Yes, should be stainless or copper.
with copper you can use only copper nails or stainless steel nails
correct
Copper roofs can last 100 years or longer. A true standing seam is folded over twice instead of once and dimpled. Really should have spent a few extra dollars and gotten copper nails.
Copper roofs lasted a 100 years before the price of copper went up so high that copper theft turned into its own industry...
By the time these white, rich people paid off for the roofing and gutter materials there is no money left for Tom De Silva to get copper nails....
@@trankt54155 Aw... another racist heard from
There is no way for the condensation or moisture to escape at the edge of the roof and flashing is over top of the waterproofing. It could mean moisture and rot on the fascia board.
I love look of copper roofing, flashing, gutters & leaders & downspouts.
Tom, love ya, but leave tinknocking to the experts.
Tommy always falls short on the roofing scope…cut and sealant panel ends at the head wall…ugly and doomed to fail..
I wonder why you don't see any copper roofs in Minneapolis, Chicago or Portland. Never mind.
Don't you have to use copper nails too? Won't aluminium cause a chemical reaction with copper and corrode?
Yes, ALWAYS!
someone here was saying this is just copper plated, so i guess it would only corrode the thin layer of copper, but not the metal inside...?
Yes
That will last the test of time.
If you have to ask about the price, you can't afford it.
What's new, designer logo embossed copper roofing? LV logoed roofing? Balenciaga? Moet Chandon? Seriously, I would like a copper roof that has a dimpled/hammered surface like a golf ball!
Holy moley $$$$$$$$
The Thompson's once lived in my neighborhood, dreaming of transforming their home. Their roof was leaking and the covers looked damaged. After searching high and low, they stumble upon the Euroclad website, which is known for its expertise in roofing and cladding.
And soon there they would be, the friendly Euroclad team, work their type of magic. Full of care and precision, the roof of the Thompson's family house was transformed into something the community would be envious of. Not only was it strong, but it was also beautifully padded with material.
The Thompson's felt a sense of pride and security all over again, as if they had just moved into a newly converted home with the sun dipping down over it. For them, Euroclad was re-building their much-loved home and happily returning to their life in it.
how to install tom's custom fabricated roof panels. pointless.
lol. do a crap ton of prep work, then show me slide a few onto a roof. show is complete!
Those dimples are NOT a good way to do this...the standing seam should have been bent over again to finish off the crimping of the seam
Where's your safety rail guy's, safety frist not a good look for your viewer's from jim the plumber queanbeyan nsw Australia.
This was hardly a, “how to” video. There were so many things left out. As much as I appreciate this show it does seem to be that many projects in the show are expensive and for showing off, like this ridiculous roof.
That show is geared toward rich, white Bostonians or Cambridge people.......looking for business or like you said showing off.....and not so much for showing you how to do it....go and search for gutter or roof installation and you would get lots of tutorial videos...

Steam Punk roof
is this meant to be a joke ?
Kevin: "Ingenious".
Tommy: "Yeah".
I bet the person paying up for that roof thinks it stays shiny like that forever.
It is call patina...like the color of an old church roof or bell...
She will pay for someone to go up there and polishes it every year....
That is one disgusting color. I know women like pink but that color is worse than pink....
I can't believe that with today's copper price choose that kind of roofing
Very nice.
Copper with no gloves? Those finger prints will look great. No Norm and the kids play
What the name of the tool that you use to lock those panels together ,thanks
Anyone else remember when This Old House had shows that were useful for the average American instead of the rich ?
If you save your money don't have to be rich to fix a house, watch Ramsy show.
@@786otto Would you like to by a Timeshare?
Sadly, I'm old enough, yes. :-)
@@bedlamp9157 No, I did not go to college.
The copper used on the porch roof isn’t THAT expensive. Their not using copper on the main roof of type house as I understand it so it not going to cost quit as much as you seem to think. Yes, it’s not a “budget” roof but it’s within budget of a middle class family who saves a bit as spurge and who limits to a small roof area within view rather then the entire roof/all roofs.
1.20 I don’t think Kevin was that impressed
just use pennies.
That has to be an expensive roof.
Very nice.
love this channel since Kevin on board

How to install a copper roof ?
With a lot of money 😂
*shows quick compilation of him working for 50 years to afford the materials.*
These contractor TV personalities came to the conclusion that poor people cannot afford anything and so they produce videos nowadays only for the rich......Just like that roof, they are showing off to the rich Bostonians , see look what you can have for a copper roof if you can shell out soem good money....

@@jeffwilson1399 😂😂 both
Excellent conductor for lightning strikes
How do they intend to walk up there?
Very few people can afford to put on a copper roof these days. I just feel that it’s a subject for a very small minor part of DIYers
Depends on what your priority is, seems like almost everyone drives new cars for tens of thousands, and they lose value every day, don't think any house sales for less than was purchased.
Thats a medium size roof. for large roofs you can get a pounder coated tin or other metal. Eerie roofing does a good one
does 500,000 even buy an old home near Boston? guessing 750,000 and there's a bidding war.
@@donc-m4900 Make sure you know who's buying your house.
One could say “very few people could afford” about many things, all depending on where you set the threshold for “affordable”. The millions who live in an apartment would consider nearly all of TOH out of reach, and would make their landlord unhappy. Many, many TOH projects are Home Depot level accessible. A few like this copper roof are perhaps more aspirational. Nothing wrong with that. I couldn’t afford a copper roof today, but it’s beautiful so maybe an idea for the future.
Mediocre at best. Finally see an episode of something in my skill set and it makes me question every other video I’ve watched for advice.
Beautiful. Until it’s stolen. But if lasts 6 months… you now have a metallic-green roof.
$4k for that small roof compared to $500 for asphalt
a copper roof done correct should outlast a home owners life infact in the uk where im from theres a copper roof on paisley abbey church and its 180 years old and still going strong
I saw 3:35 minutes and read a few comments and didn't even watch it.
I'm really sure you can build it yourself. I did this 2 weeks ago thanks to the Woodglut plans.
not sure on the copper content, the way they pick it up makes it look a bit too light.
Made in China copper so the corporate people would maximize their pocket bulge...
Wow my question is. Who can afford a copper roof. Certainly not us regular folks.
speak for yourself. i am not you.

If your budget is a million$ for buying a house and fixing it in Boston. Copper price looks tiny. I'm still saving for regular tar shingles.
