Re: learning copper roofing
I have heard stories of people stealing the copper off roofs while the homes are inhabited.
They are said to have taken the flashings, valleys, everything. |

Re: learning copper roofing
A buddy was doing mega copper work in NYC,They were using all lead coated copper,When he said he liked the look of the regular better,the foreman told him "So do the thieves,they leave the leaded copper alone because they think it`s aluminum"
