Material · 75-100 year service life

Copper flashing — where premium roofs start.

16-oz, 20-oz, or 24-oz copper at every roof-to-wall junction, chimney base, valley, and termination. The most expensive material per linear foot of roof — and the one where most contractors substitute painted aluminum to win on price. We don’t substitute.
