COPPER ROOFING
Copper Roofing Professionals You Can Trust
When it comes to metal roofing, copper is one of the most unique materials. Its brilliant color makes it stand out, and it’s among the more splendid options in residential metal roofing. A copper roof adds curb appeal to the home and excellent resale value.
Kirkness Roofing Inc. also specializes in other metal roof types, including standing seam, corrugated, and steel roofs.
What is Copper?
Copper is a shiny, reddish-brown metal. It’s an element on the periodic table and is found naturally in the earth. It is soft and highly malleable, meaning it can be shaped into any design you want. When installed on a roof, it can be made to look like brick, tile, shingles, and much more.
Types of Copper Roofing
While copper roofing looks great on any building and can be molded into any design you want, there aren’t many types of copper-specific roofing, and each one has its own intended purposes.
Continuous
Continuous copper roofing is manufactured and cut precisely for the job. It’s installed without joints, seams, or other breaks. It’s the most expensive option because it involves the most time and effort to manufacture and install to exact specifications.
Copper Panels
Copper panels are cut in standard widths and installed with joints and seams. Sometimes the seams are crimped together, and other times they’re welded together during installation. It is less expensive than continuous copper roofing.
Copper Shingles
Copper shingles are low in cost and can be installed like other shingles. They’re secured with fasteners to prevent a reaction during contact with other metals. They’re elegant, stately, and look great on any home.
Advantages of a Copper Roof
Increased curb appeal
One of the primary benefits of using copper as a roofing material is its curb appeal. Its bright copper color shines brilliantly from afar, making your home stand out. It increases your home’s resale value and assures new buyers that they are getting a sturdy, long-lasting roof.
Durability
Copper is very strong and durable, being able to withstand the harshest weather conditions. Thanks to its durability, copper roofing will last for fifty years or more with regular professional repairs and maintenance.
Lightweight
Copper roofing is very lightweight, so it minimizes the stress you put on your home’s frame, which is critical during heavy snowfall like we see in Billings, MT every winter. The lightweight composition of copper roofing also makes it cheaper to install.
Impervious to mold, rot and fire
Copper has natural anti-microbial qualities that prevent it from growing algae, bacteria, mold, and other fungi. It’s also fire-proof, which is another significant advantage to all types of metal roofing.
Environmentally friendly
One of the most appealing things about metal roofing is its recyclable properties and the fact that it’s replenishable, sustainable, and eco friendly.

I initially expected Kirkness Roofing to be a typical contractor, but they truly exceeded expectations at every turn. They handled my roofing, siding, and gutters with precision and care—each job was done right the first time. What impressed … More me most was their commitment to quality. I assumed they’d use standard-grade materials, but instead, they consistently delivered superior products.
On top of that, Kirkness stayed in my corner for over six months, navigating countless conversations with my insurance company to ensure I received the best possible outcome. Their dedication and patience made a stressful process feel manageable. I’m genuinely glad I called them and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services. -
I had a concern about my roof, so I called Kirkness Roofing who had installed it back in 2014. Andy and his son came out the very next day and gave me a free follow up inspection. They were both very knowledgeable and put my mind to rest. … More It’s nice to see a company take care of its customers. Highly recommend them.

We needed a contractor to inspect our roof during the sale of our home. Robert Espinoza inspected our roof, made the necessary repairs and let us know that a new roof was definitely not needed. We appreciated his expertise, honesty and … More integrity. He provided the report to us the next day on a Saturday morning! Definitely above and beyond and I highly recommend this company.

During a recent windstorm, part of our roof cap tore off exposing the open area which could allow the environment to gain entry. We contacted our insurance agent and a claim process was initiated. Expecting to be under warranty from the … More prior installer, they came out and said the entire roof needed to be repaired. We again contacted our insurance agent as this seemed to be pretty extreme.
I was then speaking with a friend, and he said maybe get a second opinion to verify the findings of the previous install company. I did and Kirkness was suggested by a couple of people.
Andrew and Zach came out and looked over the roof. There was moderate damage except for the area of wind damage. They did not think a full replacement was the best path to take and suggested repairing the small damage area thus saving us the cost of our deductible.
They returned the following day, made the repair and you can't tell there was any damage. I missed them before they left and when we called Andrew for costs, he said don't worry about it, materials were minimal, and the 40 minutes was a way of saying thanks for calling us to provide service.
This will go a long way if and when I need further assistance with any of my roofing needs. Truly service excellence demonstrated by Andrew, Zach and Kirkness roofing. -
Jerome replied promptly to our request to have our roof inspected for potential hail damage. The storm had brief large hail and we wanted to be sure it was okay. He came over and inspected the roof, noted a couple of tiles that had slipped … More and repaired on the spot. The roof was in overall good shape and did not need other repairs at this time. Provided peace of mind with no charge! Will definitely call in the future should we need roof repairs or replacement. Thanks, Jerome!😊

I noticed a stain and a crack in the living room ceiling earlier in the week and knew I needed to find someone local who could diagnose the issue and make the repairs necessary. I called Kirkness Roofing on a Saturday morning and was pleasantly … More surprised at how quickly Andrew, the General Manager came out. I showed him the stain and crack in the ceiling and he quickly found the problem. A rubber boot had split around an HVAC pipe and he was able to fix it right there on the spot. Andrew is one of the nicest people you’ll ever encounter and knows the business. I’m grateful I called him, and I know you will be too.

My moms roof needed replaced BADLY. She wasn’t able to get homeowners insurance because of the condition the roof was in and has been there for just over 3 years. It got even worse with the recent hail/wind storm that came through. Kirkness … More stopped to look at it and they patched up a couple spots. Shortly after, they called and offered an awesome deal to help her replace the roof! We thought it could potentially be a scam or there had to be some sort of catch but nope! They were there early yesterday morning and were done in the afternoon. They left no mess behind & we no longer have to worry about how long the roof is going to last. Our minds and hearts were blown away by the amount of kindness we received from Kirkness & we will definitely be returning customers for any future needs! Thank you SO much!
