I have a water valve that is corroded and I hired a plumber to come out to

copper pipes used indoor behind walls, and it seems the copper pipes are
kind of weak...when I asked him he said it's the same but something makes me
uneasy about it.

This is the main 1" pipe that comes into the house. Using the think copper
pipe just does not seem right to me. May be it's just me.

They bury copper pipe from my city's lateral hook up to my house. Just
had my galvanized replaced that was ready to blow from age.

copper is far better than galvanized, one day you will need ALL that
galavanized pipe replaced. It rusts, corrodes inside causing poor
flow, leaks and causes big hassles.

no trouble adding copper as long as he used a direlectric connector.
without that the connection will fail fast
