Metal Roofing

Standing Seam Metal: Dark Bronze

A complex multi-gable standing seam metal roof replacement on a mountain estate in Highlands. The steep 12/12 pitch and multiple roof intersections required custom-fabricated panels and careful metal-roofing installation — craftsmanship that gets a roof like this done right.

Highlands, NC 8 days

Asphalt Shingles

CertainTeed Landmark: Weathered Wood

Full dimensional shingle replacement on a multi-level mountain home in Waynesville using CertainTeed Landmark shingles in Weathered Wood. Highlander is a CertainTeed ShingleMaster PREMIER Credentialed Contractor; applicable warranty eligibility and terms are confirmed for the specific project.

Waynesville, NC 4 days

Cedar Shake

Cedar Shake: Estate Home

Cedar shake roof installation on a Highlands estate with multi-gable geometry, copper ridge accents, selected cedar shakes, and preservative treatment intended to support durability and curb appeal in mountain conditions.

Highlands, NC 14 days

Synthetic Shake

Brava Synthetic Shake: Lake Glenville Re-Roof

Longtime Highlander customers in Glenville's Stillpoint community wanted to keep the look of cedar shake without its upkeep. Working with Luke Smith, they replaced more than 80 squares of aging wood shake with Brava synthetic cedar shake in New Cedar, ten new VELUX skylights, and an upgraded ventilation system.

Lake Glenville, NC About 2½ weeks

Home Addition

Living Room Addition: Vaulted Gable & Stone Fireplace

Franklin homeowners already working with Highlander on their interior wanted more room to enjoy their mountain views. Highlander replaced an old deck area with a new living room addition: a block foundation, an engineered vaulted gable, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and a wall of windows topped with custom gable glass.

Franklin, NC Late February – August 2026

Deck Rebuild

Deck & Railing Rebuild: Elevated Wooded Deck

A Sylva homeowner's elevated back deck had worn boards underfoot and a tired railing. When the crew pulled up the old decking they found the framing needed attention too, so they replaced the joists before laying new pressure-treated boards across the full length of the deck, then rebuilt the railing from the posts up.

Sylva, NC Completed early May 2026
