Custom Copper Skylights

Premium copper skylight fabrication and installation. Built to last generations, designed to enhance your home's natural light and architectural character.

Craftsmanship That Lasts Generations

At Elite Roofing Inc., we fabricate and install custom copper skylights that combine old-world metalwork with modern weatherproofing. Copper is one of the finest materials you can put on a roof—it weathers beautifully, requires virtually no maintenance, and will outlast most roofing systems by decades.

We work with homeowners and architects in Bayonne and the surrounding area who want something better than off-the-shelf skylights. Every unit is built to your specifications: size, pitch, glazing, flashing details. We template on-site, fabricate in our shop, and install with the same care we'd give our own homes.

Why Copper?

Copper develops a natural patina over time that protects the metal and gives your home a timeless, distinguished look. It's self-healing, antimicrobial, and one of the most durable roofing materials available. When properly installed, a copper skylight can last 100+ years.

We use 16 oz. or 20 oz. copper depending on the application, with soldered seams and integrated flashing systems that shed water reliably in all weather. Whether you're restoring a historic property or adding character to a newer home, copper skylights are an investment in beauty and performance.

Our Process

We start with a site visit to assess your roof structure, discuss your vision, and take precise measurements. Then we fabricate the skylight frame, curb, and flashing in our shop. Installation is scheduled when weather permits, and we coordinate closely with any glaziers or finish carpenters involved.

Every skylight is tested for water-tightness before we leave the job. We stand behind our work.

Common questions
How long does a copper skylight last?+

When properly installed and maintained, copper skylights can last 100 years or more. Copper is one of the most durable roofing materials available and actually gets stronger as it develops its protective patina.

Will the copper turn green?+

Yes, over time copper develops a natural patina that ranges from brown to green depending on your climate and exposure. This patina is part of copper's beauty and acts as a protective layer. If you prefer the bright copper look, it can be sealed, though most clients appreciate the aged character.

Can you match existing copper work on my roof?+

Absolutely. We can fabricate skylights to match existing copper roofing, gutters, or trim. New copper will be brighter at first but will weather to blend over time, or we can apply patina solutions to accelerate the aging process.
