Reviving Landmark Structures — Copper Solutions for Historical & Civic Restoration

                 At AIA Sheet Metal, we take pride in crafting historic copper components that preserve the legacy of landmark architecture and historic restoration. From municipal buildings and churches to landmark buildings, our skilled team collaborates with architects and preservationists to fabricate historic copper that honor the original design and craftsmanship of each structure.

We source full-weight copper sheets—typically 16 oz or 20 oz—and shape them using time-honored techniques like hand-crimping, seam-locking, and soldering to achieve authentic, era-specific aesthetics and performance. Every element—from finials and cornices, roof panels to dome panels and drainage systems—is meticulously produced in our shop to meet the specifications of local historical boards.

Whether restoring a civic courthouse or a landmark-designated site, our copper fabrication blends historical fidelity with lasting durability—helping communities safeguard their architectural heritage for generations to come.
