The copper will turn green after 10 to 15 years, this is the natrual protective layer that makes copper last for 100 + years. If you clean your copper you are slowly removing layers of copper and reducing the life of your roof, NOT adding to. Use painted metal. Copper penny from Pac-Clad will keep its copper look for 30 + years. Tom DO NOT clean your copper roof!
