Cornices and Cladding.
In high-end homes and other luxury properties, it’s a common practice to embellish a standard roof with decorative cornices, architectural cladding and other stylized features. At Huber & Associates, we specialize in bringing to life the unique visions of homeowners, architects and engineers around the world. We have installed custom metal cornice mouldings for a range of exceptional properties.
We have received many awards and accolades for our work on historical buildings and our commitment to excellence in everything we do.

“I wanted to let you know that we received the Carolopolis Award this past Jan. 14th from the Preservation Society for the restoration of 273 King St. All agreed that the work was completed with a high degree of accuracy. The main thing that impressed them was the replacement of the cornice by you and your people in retaining the original architectural integrity of the building. Many people think that we put back the original cornice. I agree that it was an excellent piece of work and done in a professional and timely fashion.”

Materials and Styles
Huber & Associates has more than 40 years of experience in architectural metal cornice construction and installation. We work with a range of materials according to the needs of the project:
Copper: Copper is a classic choice for architectural moldings on luxury homes, hotels, government buildings and other properties. Copper is lightweight and easy to work with while remaining highly durable and resistant to wear and tear. Copper moldings are bright orange when installed but mature to a green color over time. It’s a stylish effect that nicely complements stone and brick buildings.
Pre-patina copper: Pre-patinated copper roof cladding undergoes our patented chemical treatment process to prematurely age its outward appearance, allowing for a greater degree of control over how it will mature over time. This is done without affecting the structural integrity of the finished product and is an increasingly popular choice with contemporary architects and designers.
Working on ornamental metal requires a more specialized skill set and great attention to detail. On a complex or historically significant project, we strive to bring your creative vision to life without affecting the structural integrity of the property.
Huber & Associates is unique in our ability to create highly stylized exterior cornice moldings and other roofing elements. Our team brings technical expertise and a strong creative sense to every project it takes on. We excel at solving the problems commonly associated with custom metal cornice design and installation.

Historic Roof Restoration Services
Properly maintained, copper and other metals can be counted on for 50 years of service or more. On older properties, it may be necessary to repair or replace entire sections of a roof to keep it looking its best. Whether you wish to repair or replace a custom piece on your roof, we strive to maintain fidelity to the original design.
Huber & Associates has collaborated with historical preservation societies, government agencies and private homeowners to restore metal cornice details on properties from the 19th and early 20th centuries. We were instrumental in the restoration of the Biltmore Estate, the William Blacklock House and other buildings on the list of National Historic Landmarks.
Our work on these and other properties has won us the respect of our peers and clients as well as a number of prestigious awards. We are a three-time winner of the National Roofing and Contractors’ Association (NRCA) Gold Circle Award and a recipient of Master Craftsman awards from Dade Heritage Trust and the Florida Trust for Historic Preservation.
