Cupolas that finish the look of a home.
Real rooflines, from the street and the driveway. Most are our Signature windowed cupola, the residential default that reads as architecture, not an add-on. Picture one on your own elevation before you decide anything, and coordinate the color and trim to your house.
Architectural presence without looking overdone.

The windowed cupola is the one most homes want.
On a house, the cupola is a finish detail. Our Signature tier leads with window panels for that reason, and the louvered tiers are still there if you want passive airflow on an outbuilding.
Signature is the residential default
Glass window panels give the roofline architectural detail that reads as part of the house. Signature is decorative, a finish piece, not a vent, and on a home that is exactly the job most owners want it to do.
Louvered Classic and Select, if you want airflow
Prefer passive venting on a detached garage or workshop? The Classic and Select tiers use steel louvers instead of windows. Same sizes, same build, a different panel.
Coordinated to your house
Roof color, trim, panel style, and placement get chosen together so the cupola looks designed in, not set on after the fact. Preview the combination on your own elevation before you commit.
What a cupola does for a house.
A cupola is the small structure at the peak of a roof. On a home it finishes the roofline, adds vertical detail, and gives the front of the house a focal point from the street.
Many people call it a garage topper or just that thing on top of the roof. On a house it does one main job: it finishes the look. It breaks up a long roof plane, adds a little height, and makes the building feel considered from the curb instead of plain.
A Tanasi Designs cupola is built to order with a pine frame, a 29-gauge steel roof, and steel louvers or glass window panels depending on the tier. It ships fully assembled and sized to your building. On homes, most owners choose the Signature tier, which uses window panels as a finish detail rather than a vent.
Size is independent of style. Every tier comes from 24 inches up to 72 inches, so you size the cupola to the roofline first, then pick the look. A photo of the front of the house is usually as useful as a measurement, because placement and proportion matter as much as the number.
Finishing the roofline
A cupola gives a flat, plain roof a center point. From the street or the driveway, that one detail is often what makes a house look finished instead of builder-grade. It is the difference owners describe as the place finally looking done.
The three styles, and why homes pick Signature
Classic is louvered and clean. Select adds decorative trim over louvers. Signature uses glass window panels for the most refined, residential look, and it is the home default. Signature is decorative and does not vent, which on a house is the point: it is a finish detail, not a roof vent.
Coordinating finish and placement
Roof color, trim color, panel style, and where the cupola sits on the ridge all read together on a residential roofline. Choose them as a set. The visualizer lets you put the exact combination on your own elevation before you order, so there is no guessing on color or scale.
