How Much Does A Copper Roof Cost in Greater Cleveland and Surrounding Northeast Ohio?

Installed cost in our area ranges from $20 to $40+ per square foot, depending on the complexity of the roof, design details, and current copper sheet metal price.

The cost of simple, small copper roofs—such as those for bay windows, entryways, and awnings—typically ranges from $2,500 to $4,500. For roof dormers, the price can vary from $4,500 to $9,000.
Larger and more complex copper roofs, like the curved porticos found on the front of elegant homes in Shaker Heights, may cost between $12000 and $16000 for installation.
For an entire house roof, the cost can range from $ 65,000 to $ 125,000 or more.

Curved roofs, steep roofs, multiple gables, multiple chimneys, and various valleys are design features that increase costs. Details such as swept eave ends, chimney transitions, traditional double-locked standing seams, custom-fabricated copper shingles, and custom eave and rake moldings also contribute to the overall expense of a copper roof. However, these elements enhance its beauty, longevity, and appeal.

Replacing existing copper roofs can be more expensive than the prices mentioned above. If the current roof has undergone multiple repairs, has sustained damage from leaks, or has been covered with newer roofing materials, the costs for removal and repairs can increase significantly.
