About Us
Three Generations of Craftsmanship
Since 1939, Cape Cod Cupola and Weathervane and Lantern Co. has designed and hand-built custom cupolas, weathervanes, and lanterns for homes across New England. Here's a closer look at who we are and how we work.
Our Story
Built by hand, since 1939
Cape Cod Cupola and Weathervane and Lantern Co. opened its doors in North Dartmouth in 1939, with a simple goal: build cupolas, weathervanes, and lanterns that add real character to a home, not just a finishing touch bolted on at the end. Decades later, that goal hasn't changed. What started as a small local shop has grown into a trusted name across the Cape and South Coast, while staying exactly what it always was — a family-run workshop where every piece is still formed and soldered by hand.
“Every cupola and weathervane is a unique expression of a homeowner's style and personality.”
That hands-on approach means no two pieces are quite the same. We work directly with homeowners, architects, and builders to design a cupola, weathervane, or lantern that suits the home it's going on — whether that's a faithful reproduction of a classic New England style or a custom design built from a client's own sketch.
How We Work
From sketch to rooftop
Every piece starts with a conversation and ends on your roofline. Here's what happens in between.
Design & Consultation
We talk through your home's style, roofline, and your own ideas, then sketch a design sized and proportioned to fit.
Hand-Forming
Each piece is cut, formed, and soldered by hand from copper, bronze, or stainless steel — no stamped or mass-produced parts.
Finishing
Seams, joints, and details are finished and checked by hand so the piece holds up to decades of New England weather.
Delivery & Installation Guidance
We package every piece carefully and work with you or your installer to get it mounted correctly and securely.
Still Family-Run
The people behind the work
Cape Cod Cupola Co. remains a small, family-run shop in North Dartmouth. We're proud that the same hands-on, personal approach that opened our doors in 1939 is still how we do business today — you'll talk directly with the people building your piece, from your first call to the final install.
