About This Project

Full architectural shingle re-roof on a classic Asheville cottage in the 28801 zip. Steep gables, dormers, and a tall brick chimney called for careful layout and tight cuts. The finished dark architectural shingles pair cleanly with the home's white siding and green trim, with mountain views in the background.

The Home and the Roof

This classic cottage sits in the 28801 zip in Asheville, with white siding, green trim and mountains behind it. The roof is small but busy. Steep gables, dormers and a tall brick chimney all meet in tight spots, and on an older home like this those joints are usually the first places water gets in.

What We Did

We tore off the old roof and put down new dark architectural shingles across every gable and dormer. Steep pitches and small dormer faces take careful layout and tight cuts so the shingle lines stay straight. We also flashed the tall brick chimney and the dormer walls, the two spots that see the most water on a cottage roof like this.

The Finished Result

The drone photos show the dark shingles sitting clean against the white siding and green trim, with straight courses over every dormer. It looks the way an Asheville cottage should, and it's backed by our 10 year workmanship warranty. If you own an older home in downtown or central Asheville and the roof is wearing out, contact us for a free inspection.
