Copper Roofing Transformation in Greenwich, CT
At George’s Seamless Gutters, we recently completed a sophisticated copper roofing project on a home in Greenwich, CT, designed to enhance both the visual elegance and weather resilience of the property. This project blended form and function through premium materials and expert craftsmanship, delivering a lasting upgrade to the roof’s critical features.
The work included a partial roof replacement, with a focus on high-impact details that dramatically improve performance and curb appeal. We upgraded the dormers with custom copper cladding, replaced the valley metal with copper for better water runoff control, and added a new copper cricket behind the chimney—one of the most important elements for long-term leak prevention.
What’s a copper cricket? Also known as a saddle, a cricket is a small, peaked structure built on the high side of a chimney. Its purpose is to divert water away from the chimney, preventing pooling and potential water intrusion—a common source of roof leaks. Adding a cricket is especially important in areas like Greenwich, where roofs are exposed to varied weather conditions year-round.
The use of copper on this project wasn’t just about performance—it also adds timeless character. Over time, copper develops a distinctive patina, aging gracefully and increasing the home’s visual appeal. It’s a premium material that offers both aesthetic value and long-term durability.
This project is a great example of how targeted upgrades can provide lasting protection while elevating a home’s design. Learn more about our copper roofing services and custom flashing and chimney protection for homes throughout Greenwich and Fairfield County.
