Expert Knowledge and Unbeatable Customer Service

Fantastic Product and Service! This review is long overdue. In January of this year, 2017, I was fortunate enough to find and purchase a fantastic Cupola from Valley Forge Cupolas. After my wife decided she wanted a new Cupola we had been shopping for a couple of weeks. I found Valley Forge and Rick the Cupola Doctor on the internet. I watched the great video he and his wife produced. Learned more in his 5 min video than in 2 weeks of shopping locally. Called, on a holiday, and Rick answered the phone. Rick was super helpful, knew his Cupolas from front to back. He walked me through the process, help[ed] me choose the right style and size. He is great. I'm glad to say the Cupola sits proudly on top of my house. People have stopped to comment how nice it looks. I truly can't say enough good things about V.F.C. If you're in the market for a Cupola you've found the right place. - Joe B.

With a Cupola, Homes Look Fantastic: Let Us Show You!

Is there something missing from your home? Does it need something to help it stand out, or to highlight its unique architectural features? With a cupola, homes gain that much needed je ne sais quoi. Cupolas accentuate your home’s best features and banish boring rooflines. Let us show you!

In these photos you can see just how easy it is to customize a cupola to fit your home’s needs. While they are both Carlisle-style cupolas, the one on the left has a combination of windows and louvers, allowing both light and ventilation into the home. The beautiful shiplap trim on the base perfectly accents the multiple tiers and roofs of the home. Shiplap (aka clapboard) trim is now available on all our cupolas and is a great way to accentuate the vinyl siding on your home.

In the right photo, the beautiful windows of the cupola mirror the windows on and above the doors, making it look like a natural extension of the garage. Window cupolas are a great way to add natural light to a garage and forgo dingy industrial lighting. Adding a cupola to both your home and detached garage is also a great way to give continuity to the buildings.

Here we see our most popular cupola model, the CNC. The straight windows on this 48” cupola perfectly complement the other windows on the home. With a beautiful gray finish, the cupola roof blends seamlessly with the gray rock tones of the home. A 39” Morgana finial completes the look, enhancing the elegance of this gorgeous home. When done right, a cupola should appear to be a natural extension of your home. It should never be an obvious “add-on” or afterthought, but should match and enhance the existing architecture.

This magnificent Dutch Colonial home shows how easily a cupola can be incorporated into a new construction. With our free digital quote, the customer could see exactly how the cupola would look once installed. This fabulous Roxbury-style cupola with fleur de lis finial is the perfect crowning flourish to this home. The bell shape of the cupola roof mimics the curves of the home’s roofline, and the graceful curves of the window trim add to the overall elegance of the house.

With a Cupola, Homes are Complete

Invest In the Architecture Pennsylvania Loves!

The list of architecture Pennsylvania is famous for is quite extensive. As a member of the original 13 colonies and home to the first capitol of the United States, Pennsylvania continues to set trends for the rest of the country. A prominent architectural design visible throughout the state is cupolas: cupolas can be found from Philadelphia to the capitol building in Harrisburg. No matter where you go in the state, you will see the stunning architecture Pennsylvania loves.

In Philadelphia, Independence Hall was home to many of this country’s most important historical acts. If you have ever wanted to see where both the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution were signed, you can still tour the room where it happened. The Liberty Bell also hung over Independence Hall until 1781, when the steeple was demolished due to structural problems. A more elaborate steeple and cupola were added in 1828 and now house the Centennial Bell (added in 1876).

Travel West through the state and you will reach Gettysburg, a top destination for tourists and history buffs. Seminary Ridge was right in the middle of the 3-day long battle, along with Schmucker Hall and its crowning cupola. Open to tours, people love taking in the view from this historic cupola, picturing themselves as the beleaguered General Buford, scanning the horizon for reinforcements.
