Copper Belt Course on Shingle Roof
Decorative copper belt course installation on a shingle roof — accent detail with structural function. — Greater Boston, 2024.
The original copper belt on this shingle-style home had corroded out. We replaced it with 20-ounce bare copper, hand-formed to match the original profile, and re-tied the shingle field above and below.
