Standing Seam
Concealed fasteners, clean vertical ridge lines, and the longest life of any panel we install. The premium choice for high-value Carolina homes.
- Hidden fastener system — nothing to back out or leak
- 40 to 70 years of real lifespan
- The architectural look most lake homes are after
Metal Shingles
Coated metal shingles that keep a traditional roofline while giving you metal's durability underneath. Fasteners are hidden under the next course — clean install with no exposed hardware.
- Looks like a classic shingle roof
- All the protection of metal
- 40-year fade warranty (varies by finish)
Exposed Fastener
Exposed-fastener panels that bring the durability of metal at a friendlier price. The panels themselves carry our transferable lifetime material warranty, and we back the install with a 15-year workmanship warranty — with a quick screw maintenance pass at year 15 to keep the system weathertight.
- Strong, proven, budget-friendly
- Wide range of colors and finishes
