Architectural Roofing in Los Angeles, CA
The roof is architecture. Atelier designs and executes standing-seam metal, hand-formed copper, slate, clay tile, and modern flat roofs for LA's most design-forward homes — every one bespoke, every line intentional.
Roofing as Architecture
Bespoke roofs for homes where every line matters.
An Atelier, Not a Roofing Company
Most roofers install what's easy. Atelier executes what's designed. We're a studio of metal and roofing craftsmen who work from the architect's drawings, hand-form our own copper and zinc, and treat every roof as a one-of-a-kind piece of the architecture. When a home is designed to be extraordinary, the roof can't be ordinary — and that's the only kind of roof we do.
- ✓We work from the architect's drawings
- ✓Hand-formed metal, custom every time
- ✓Slate, tile, copper, zinc & modern flat
- ✓Every roof bespoke, every line intentional

Why Architects Call Us
We Build the Drawing
Complex rooflines, hidden gutters, and bespoke details others decline — we execute exactly what's designed.
Metalwork as Craft
Hand-formed copper and zinc with seams that run true and flashings that become part of the architecture.
One of One, Every Time
No two Atelier roofs are the same. Each is designed and built for its home, its architect, and its lines.
For Homes That Deserve It
The studio approach to a roof that's part of the design.
Architect-Led
We collaborate from the drawings, solving the roof as architecture — not adapting the design to what's easy.
Bespoke Materials
Zinc, copper, slate, clay, and modern membranes — the right material for the design, sourced and formed to spec.
Precision Detailing
Razor-straight seams, mitered corners, and hidden drainage — the details that separate a roof from a masterpiece.
Discreet & Insured
CA-licensed, fully insured, and discreet — the standard of service estate and luxury homeowners expect.
Metalwork Is the Signature
On a designed home, the metal is where craftsmanship shows — the standing seams that must run dead straight, the copper valleys and flashings that catch the light, the custom edge details that finish an architect's line. Atelier hand-forms its own copper and zinc in the tradition of the trade's best, so the metalwork on your roof is one of a kind, ages beautifully, and looks as though it was always meant to be there.

LA Homeowners on Atelier
Our architect specified a standing-seam zinc roof with hand-formed details that three roofers said they couldn't do. Atelier did it flawlessly — the seams are razor-straight, the copper flashings are jewelry, and it's exactly the roof the design called for. This is roofing as craft, for people who care about every line.
Atelier restored the clay tile roof on our historic Pasadena estate and matched century-old tile perfectly. They understand that on a home like this, the roof is architecture — and they treat it that way. Impeccable, patient, and worth every dollar.
A flat modern roof on a hillside home, with hidden drainage and a clean parapet detail our builder couldn't get right. Atelier redesigned it, executed it beautifully, and it's watertight and gorgeous. The only roofer in LA we'd trust on a design like ours.
Architectural Roofing FAQs
Do you work directly with architects?
Constantly — it's central to how we work. We collaborate from the drawings, solving the roof as part of the architecture rather than adapting the design to what's easy. Many of our projects come through architects who trust us to execute details other roofers decline.
What makes Atelier different from a regular roofer?
We're a studio of metal and roofing craftsmen, not a volume roofing company. We hand-form our own copper and zinc, execute complex custom geometries, and treat every roof as a bespoke piece of the architecture. If a roof needs to be extraordinary, that's the only kind we do.
What materials do you specialize in?
Standing-seam zinc, hand-formed copper, natural slate, clay tile, and clean modern flat systems. We choose and detail the material for the design — and we're equally at home restoring a historic estate roof or executing a sharp contemporary one.
Do you restore historic and estate roofs?
Yes — period-correct restoration is a core part of our work. We source and match materials, patinas, and profiles, and restore historic and landmark roofs to the standard they deserve, working with preservation requirements where they apply.
How do I start a project with Atelier?
Request a consultation. We'll review the architecture — drawings, the home, or both — discuss materials and details, and design a roof built to the standard the home deserves. We work by appointment and take on a limited number of projects to give each the craft it requires.
