Sapphire sits at Plateau elevation with Plateau rainfall — very similar exposure to Highlands and Cashiers. We specify the same premium underlayment, flashing, and gutter capacity we use across the Plateau.
Yes. We regularly replace skylights and rebuild their flashing on Plateau homes where aging units are the leak source rather than the surrounding roof.
Yes. Our construction division designs and builds screened porches, decks, and outdoor kitchens across the Sapphire and Cashiers area under our licensed GC.

Sapphire falls under Jackson County.
