Front Range Copper House

When the homeowner of this Boulder, Colorado home and carriage house admired the look of a standing seam metal roof on a neighboring home, he decided to rip off the eight-year-old asphalt shingles on his own 13,000 square feet of roof and replace it with 17,204 pounds of 20 ounce copper. Not only did he specifically mandate 20-ounce copper, but he also requested that 20-ounce copper half round gutters be installed with brass hidden hangers at every seam. He then finished off the copper theme with solid copper entry doors, copper garage doors, copper fascia, copper electrical box covers and copper trim around glass block windows. Every window in the house was replaced with copper clad windows.
