Why it changed

This home needed more than a roof swap.

The original wood shake had reached the point where insurance was becoming part of the conversation. To us, that is where a replacement has to do two jobs at once: solve the practical problem and leave the house looking stronger than it did before.

We replaced it with BRAVA Multi-Width Slate in Light Arendale and finished the home with custom copper gutters and flashing. The goal was not to make it louder. The goal was to make the whole house feel more settled, more intentional, and built for the long haul.

Before

What we were starting with.

The original wood shake had character, but it was tired. These photos show the wear at the dormers, valleys, and transition details that mattered most before the replacement started.
