Cupolas
Custom Copper Cupolas
All of our roofs are covered in copper, hand soldered, and crafted with expertise — and most are rigged to carry a weathervane. Every cupola is sized to the roofline it's going on, from a garage or shed up to a barn or home.
Hand-Soldered Copper
Built one roof at a time
Nothing leaves our shop stamped from a mold. Every seam is cut, formed, and hand soldered right here in North Dartmouth, so each cupola holds up to decades of New England weather while still fitting the exact lines of your roof.
“Single, high, double, or flared base — the right fit depends on your roof's pitch.”
Roof Styles
Six roof styles, all hand-soldered copper
Pick a profile that matches your home, or match what's already on your roofline.
Steep Cape Cod
A hip-style roof with a 12/12 pitch, designed historically to shed heavy New England snow and rain. The steepest of our roof styles, and the most dramatic silhouette.
Cape Cod
A hip-style roof with a 7/12 pitch — the classic, versatile profile that suits most homes and matches the lower-pitched roofline most New England houses already have.
Pagoda
A hip-style roof inspired by East Asian architecture, with a graceful concave profile that curves upward at the eaves for a distinctive look.
Standing Seam
Long vertical copper panels with raised, interlocking edges for a striking, elevated seam line — a popular match for a standing-seam metal roof.
Asphalt Shingled
A uniform, classic look that matches an asphalt-shingled roof, so the cupola reads as part of the roofline instead of standing apart from it.
Lead Coated
An architectural gray finish for a quieter, more muted look — copper underneath, but without copper's bright color or the patina it develops over time.
Midsections
Louvered or windowed
The midsection sits below the roof and sets the character of the piece.
Classic Louvered
Traditional louvers, back-screened to keep the weather out while venting the space below — the look most people picture when they picture a cupola.
Windowed
Tempered glass with external grills — ready to hold a lantern or a light socket so the midsection glows from within after dark.
Bases & Sizing
Sized to your roofline
Cupolas are measured at the base, with standard sizes ranging from 16″ to 60″. The best fit comes from your ridge line measurement — as a rule of thumb, figure on about 1¼″ of base for every foot of roofline, for an average building shape and pitch. Not sure what that works out to? Give us a call with your roofline's length and pitch and we'll help you find the right size.
Single Base
The standard base for roofs up to an 8/12 pitch — sits flush against a gently to moderately pitched roofline.
High Base
A taller base for roofs up to a 10/12 pitch, built to clear a steeper roofline while keeping the cupola sitting level.
Double Base
Needed for pitches steeper than 10/12, when a Single or High Base isn't tall enough to clear the roofline.
Flared Base
A more striking look, with a flared skirt that's available for any pitch — a good upgrade from a Single or High Base on the same roofline.
