CertainTeed Highland Slate & Custom CopperRoofing in Greensboro, NC
CertainTeed Highland Slate Roofing in Weatherwood
For the primary roof areas, the project used CertainTeed Highland Slate shingles in Weatherwood.
Highland Slate provides the dimensional appearance homeowners often want for architecturally distinctive properties while maintaining the practicality of a shingle roofing system. The Weatherwood color works especially well with the copper elements incorporated throughout this Greensboro home, creating a coordinated exterior rather than treating the shingles and specialty metalwork as separate design features.
On a home with multiple rooflines, dormers, chimneys, and architectural details, material transitions matter. Each area needs to work as part of the complete roofing system, both visually and functionally.
Project Overview
Great State Roofing completed this residential roofing project in the Country Club area of Greensboro, NC, combining CertainTeed Highland Slate shingles with extensive custom copper roofing and architectural metalwork.
The home’s primary roofing system features CertainTeed Highland Slate shingles in Weatherwood, while multiple architectural elements were finished in copper. The project included flatlock copper crickets, copper dormers, a custom radial copper dormer, copper finials, a copper cupola, copper chimney crickets, and standing seam copper roofing.
To complete the exterior drainage system, the home was also fitted with a combination of 6-inch aluminum K-style gutters and 6-inch K-style copper gutters.
The result is a roofing system that brings together premium shingle roofing, detailed architectural sheet metal work, and copper features designed to complement the character of the residence.
Custom Copper Roofing and Architectural Metalwork
A major feature of this Greensboro roofing project was the amount of custom copper work incorporated into the roof.
Great State Roofing specializes in detailed copper and architectural sheet metal applications for homes where standard roofing solutions are not enough. For this residence, copper was used across several roof features, each requiring careful fabrication and integration with the surrounding roofing system.
Custom Radial Copper Dormer
One of the standout architectural elements is the custom radial copper dormer.
Curved and radial roof details require precise fabrication so that the metal follows the shape of the structure while maintaining clean seams and transitions. The finished copper dormer creates a distinctive focal point and adds a level of craftsmanship appropriate for a character-rich home in Greensboro’s Country Club area.
Copper Dormers
Additional copper dormers were incorporated throughout the roofing system.
Using copper on these architectural features creates a clear visual distinction from the CertainTeed shingle field while connecting the various specialty details across the roof.
Flatlock Copper Crickets
The project also included flatlock copper crickets.
Crickets are especially important around roof penetrations and architectural transitions where directing water away from vulnerable areas is critical. Flatlock copper allows these areas to be formed specifically for the roof geometry while maintaining the premium appearance of the overall system.
Copper Chimney Crickets
Custom copper chimney crickets were installed to help manage water around chimney areas.
Chimneys interrupt the natural flow of water down a roof, making the roofing and flashing details behind them especially important. Incorporating copper crickets provides a custom solution that integrates with the other copper features on the home.
Standing Seam Copper Roof
Sections of the residence were completed with a standing seam copper roofing system.
Standing seam copper adds another texture and profile to the overall roof design while complementing the copper dormers, crickets, and decorative elements used elsewhere on the property.
Rather than using copper solely as an accent, this project incorporates it as an important part of the home’s complete roofing design.
Copper Finials and Copper Cupola
The architectural detailing extends beyond functional roofing components.
Copper finials and a copper cupola provide finishing elements that reinforce the traditional character of the home and create visual interest along the roofline.
These details demonstrate why specialty roofing projects require more than standard shingle installation. Successful execution depends on coordinating shingles, sheet metal, drainage, roof penetrations, and decorative elements so the finished roof looks intentional from every angle.
6-Inch Aluminum and Copper Gutter Systems
The drainage system was designed with both 6-inch aluminum K-style gutters and 6-inch K-style copper gutters.
Using different gutter materials allowed the drainage system to coordinate with the different architectural sections of the residence. Copper gutters complement the specialty copper roofing details, while aluminum K-style gutters provide a practical solution for other areas of the home.
Integrating gutter design with the roof system is particularly important on homes with complex rooflines. Water needs a clear path from the roof surface into the gutter and away from the structure.
