Answers for Cashiers, NC homeowners.
With 80+ inches of rain, Cashiers roofs rarely dry out completely. This accelerates algae growth and exposes weak flashing details. We use algae-resistant materials — from asphalt shingles to standing seam metal — and engineered drainage to combat these Plateau conditions.
Yes. Due to the high moisture levels in Jackson County, natural wood decks require constant maintenance. We recommend premium composite systems that resist rot and moisture in rainforest conditions.
Yes. Many of our Cashiers clients live out of town. We provide full project coordination, from design/planning to construction, with in-person consultations when you are on the mountain and frequent photo and video updates from our local crews when you are not.
