Carpentry craftsmanship with a special focus on copper work

Having always enjoyed building, Blythe discovered his particular passion for detail work under the apprenticeship of a roofer who specialized in copper, slate, and tile.

He learned how to make sure the roof functions correctly first, then addressing the aesthetics. Having worked a lot with copper, he also understands the material very well and how it should be applied.

For example, you can take cut and bend a piece of counter flashing to fit a mortar joint and it looks like a piece of metal on a brick. However, by taking one side and giving it a quarter-inch bend, it hugs the brick to keep the water out. It’s still up against the brick, but the bend changes the look in an eye-pleasing way.

A true craftsman understands how to achieve a different look while keeping the same functionality.

The roof is foremost there to do its job of protecting the house. Once you get that correct, then you can alter it to look good as well.
