Tulloch's Copper Chimney Cap
Winston-Salem, North Carolina (5/17)

Frank Tulloch tells me how at 73 years young he cannot wait around to see this chimney cap patina, so he wanted us to give it a work-over ahead of time. This was the first time we had drafted out a chimney cap on the copper sheet, and then spent the next week or so with it out in the wet weather we have been having, with some added ammonia to help speed this process a bit. The total cost for this with freight to Winston-Salem, North Carolina is $4,406.70. This has a base that is to fit over a wide course of brick that is 36" X 55.5" long. The roof cover on this is 2" out past the width of the base.
Cost Breakdown:

136# total
- 18.4# SS screen weight
= 117.6# copper weight
X $25#
= 2,940 cost for the copper work
+ $483.40 for the 24.17 sq' of SS screen at $20 sq'.
+ $183 for the full week of tarnishing work and 2 dozen chemical applications
+ $350 for a custom wood crate
+ $450 estimated for truck freight
= 4,406.40 total cost delivered

Cost: $4,406.91 delivered

Shelton's Copper Chimney Cap
Salem, Oregon (4/17)

Here we built our first convex roof covered chimney cap. It is for our Client Dr. James Shelton in Salem, Oregon. The cost delivered and installed was to not exceed $6.5k. Based on the final weights the cost went down by $314.09 below the quoted ceiling cost. I had first made him a simple aluminum cover to tide him over and get a rough idea how this sort of chimney cap would look.

- 28.4# SS screen weight
= 177.8# total copper weight
X $24 per #

Mughal's 2 Copper Chimney Caps & a Culopa

These were custom designed for our client Usman Mughal in Northwest Portland. With installation this cost them about $14.4k. The inside widths are 33" X 63", 36.5" X 69.25", and 40" square.

We had also been contracted to replace their steel fascia gutters on this new house with our exclusive K-5 style 20oz copper gutter system. He also had us work to recover these sad dormers with actual copper, in stead of this steel that was painted to look like untarnished copper. From what I understand, an intentional fraud by the Roofing Contractor.

Roberta & Scott Cline's set of 2 Copper Chimney Caps
Spring Grove, Illinois (11/16 - 2/17)

Roberta and Scott Cline in Spring Grove, Illinois had their architect design this classic castle looking house for them with these twisted chimneys and clay chimney pots, but they felt they were just too small and did not clearly show the detail of a King and Queen crown look they were after, so they finally found my web site, liked what we have done, and wanted that for their new house. We have been ironing out the details since Halloween of 2014 and finally was able to ship them over 2 years later.

This set took us just over 2.5 months to complete: from 11/18/16 to 2/5/17

Bisher's 20oz & 24oz Copper
Gas Fire Pit Exhaust Hood, Flue, & Chimney Cap
Petosky, Michigan (11/15)

This is twin wall fire pit exhaust hood made to be mounted under their covered pergola. We built this for a Contractor named Dick Noggle in Michigan for his Client Jon Bisher in Petoskey, Michigan for The Hearthside Grove Motor-coach Resort.

The lower rim of this octagon hood is 60" wide across the outside formed with a 45 degree angle sloping up to a 15" width at the top for the vertical flue. This hood has an inner liner as well with a 3" gap between the outer shell, which adapts to a 12" wide flue inside diameter. The flue shown is 4' tall, and has another 18" long extension below the weather-head, as shown below. They are not dealing with high heat, since this is a natural gas fire pit. This also came with a thick 32oz copper roof flange.

Subject: Best wishes from Napa

Good morning David
Sending you and all at Copper by Design my best wishes for a happy, healthy and prosperous 2017. The chimney cap you made for me has been tested by several winter storms with heavy horizontal rain from 40-50 mph winds. It is also developing a very nice weathered patina. I absolutely made the right choice.

Best regards
David Hallett
