Copper Roofing Services - Standing Seam Panels, Historic Restoration & Custom Accents
Expert Copper Roofing Services
At Antebellum Roofworks, we bring old-world craftsmanship and modern precision to every copper roofing project. From timeless standing seam copper panels to handcrafted flashing, bay window accents, and chimney caps, our copper roofing services are tailored for residential, commercial, and historic properties across Franklin and Middle Tennessee. Our copper roofs are not only visually stunning but built to withstand Tennessee’s challenging climate for generations to come.
The Enduring Value of Copper Roofing
Copper roofing is a premium investment known for its exceptional longevity, natural beauty, and structural integrity. With a lifespan that can exceed 100 years, copper resists rust, corrosion, and impact damage better than most conventional roofing materials. It also develops a distinctive patina over time, shifting from bright orange to elegant green, a look revered in traditional and high-end architecture.
In a region like Middle Tennessee, where we receive over 50 inches of annual rainfall, the water-shedding capabilities and durability of copper make it an ideal choice. Our roofing inspections help assess when copper solutions are the best long-term investment for your structure.
Standing Seam Copper Roofing
One of the most popular styles of copper roofs, standing seam copper panels feature vertically raised seams that interlock for superior weatherproofing. This type of installation reduces the number of horizontal seams and eliminates the need for exposed fasteners, which are more prone to leaks and failure over time.
Our team fabricates and installs standing seam copper panels custom to your roof dimensions. Whether you’re outfitting an entire estate or accenting a turret or bay window, we ensure precision bends, clean joints, and a consistent finish.
- Fire-resistant and Energy Efficient – Copper naturally reflects heat and is fireproof, reducing energy costs and providing peace of mind.
- Environmentally Friendly – Copper is 100% recyclable without degradation, making it a sustainable building material.
