A home with a beautiful view deserves an exterior that looks just as good. For this Norris Lake property in the Sharps Chapel area, the existing roof showed its age through faded shingles and several visible patches. The homeowners chose a full exterior update that included a new roof, gutters, and shake siding.
The finished project brings a crisp, unified look to the large brick home while respecting its lakeside setting.
Replacing a Complex, Heavily Patched Roof
This was not a simple roofline. The home features multiple slopes, valleys, dormers, and curved sections. Each transition required careful installation to create consistent lines and direct water away from vulnerable areas.
We completed the roof replacement with CertainTeed Landmark Pro shingles in Charcoal Black. The rich color creates a strong contrast against the red brick. It also gives the roof a more uniform appearance by drawing its many sections together.
The new shingles replaced an aging system with numerous visible patches. From above, the difference is clear. The new roof has clean shingle courses, finished ridges, and consistent coverage across every plane.
Black Seamless Gutters Complete the Roofline
We installed new six-inch black seamless guttersaround the home. Their larger size provides greater capacity for moving rainwater away from the roof. This is especially helpful on a large home with long roof sections and several valleys.
The black gutters also match the Charcoal Black shingles. Instead of standing apart from the roof, they create a clean border along the eaves.
Foundry Shake Adds Character to the Front Gable
The front gable received Foundry shake siding as the finishing detail. Its texture brings more depth to the exterior and draws attention to the home’s architecture. The dark shake also connects visually with the new shingles and gutters.
Together, the new materials give this Norris Lake home a cohesive look from every angle. The roof provides a strong foundation, the gutters manage runoff, and the shake siding adds character where it matters most.
