My architectural specialty (wearing my other hat) is energy efficiency and cost effective design. 

They've been all across the country and to Hawaii, across Canada and to Moscow and Europe and England and Galapagos Islands.It's been great for us, I love the part of finding off market very profitable deals that have ongoing cash flow and my wife is an interior designer by training so she enjoys the design and decorating part.

Too much copper is toxic to plants because it prevents photosynthesis.https://homeguides.sfgate.com/copper-control-algae-97682.htmlThat said you should get the roof inspected.You may get lucky, the roof may be in great shape other than the algae on it ( note there are shingle solvents designed to wash off roofs: don’t bleach ( bleach is ineffective against mold) or power wash.)Once cleaned, install the copper as a preventative measure.Other wise I agree with many of the comments, you might have to bite the bullet on the roof, a roof is a big deal to perspective buyers.
