We think that .00057% of your construction cost is a small price to pay for a Sustainable building and a spotless reputation.
The best builders choose quality copper flashing products over cheaper, inferior plastic flashing. They know that copper lasts, and by using it, they not only save their customers the higher costs of fixing failed flashing systems later on, but build their own reputations for solid, quality construction. And, unlike plastic flashing products, copper flashing is guaranteed for 100 years.
So if you're looking to build your reputation while you're building your next project, think copper. Because like copper flashing, great reputations last forever. For more info call: 800-252-2306
