Copper doesn’t just look good — it lasts. Naturally resistant to fire, mold, mildew, and extreme weather, copper adds longevity to your home’s most vulnerable details. And its light weight means less structural strain compared to other metals.
We don’t install panels from a box — we fabricate copper on site or in our shop for a perfect fit and clean, soldered seams. Our team is trusted by architects and builders across Chicagoland and Milwaukee for projects where quality matters.
Whether it’s a full copper roof or an accent section, our standing and flat seam systems are custom-fabricated for your home. We use soldered joints, expansion detailing, and proper underlayments to ensure beauty and performance in all seasons.
We install seamless copper gutter systems that not only protect your home from water damage but elevate its architectural look. Every component — from scuppers to collector boxes — is formed and installed to complement your roofline and trim.
Water entry often starts at the details. Our hand-cut copper flashing, valleys, and chimney caps are precision-fit to prevent leaks, resist corrosion, and blend into the home’s overall design — functional protection with a premium finish.
Copper shines in the details. We fabricate and install unique accents like dormer cladding, gable vents, finials, and louvers that age beautifully over time — adding character without compromising durability.
We specialize in restoring and replicating period-correct copper features for heritage homes. From radius gutters to intricate trim profiles, we honor original designs using traditional methods — modern performance, timeless appeal.
From premium asphalt to slate and cedar, we install steep-slope roofing with performance and curb appeal in mind.
Copper or aluminum, our seamless gutter installations protect your home’s foundation while complementing your roofline.
We specialize in reviving heritage homes with materials and craftsmanship that honor their original architecture.
At Custom Installations, we’ve spent decades perfecting our copperwork on homes where detail matters. From accent pieces to complete roofing systems, every piece is built to perform — and turn heads.

Copper is one of the most durable materials available — properly installed, it can last 50 years or more with minimal maintenance. Unlike other metals, it doesn’t rust, and it forms a natural protective patina over time.
It can — if not installed correctly. We prevent this by pitching all copper elements properly, installing appropriate drip edges, and using proven detailing techniques to keep runoff away from walls and windows.
Copper naturally patinas to a green or brown finish over time. However, we can apply coatings or install treated copper to slow or prevent color change — perfect if you prefer the bright, polished look.
Not at all. While it’s popular on luxury and historic properties, copper is also a smart investment for any homeowner who values low maintenance, longevity, and standout curb appeal.
Yes. We custom-fabricate every copper component in-house or on-site to ensure precision fit, soldered seams, and flawless detail — no pre-cut panels or shortcuts.
