Luxury Roof Replacement and Custom Copper Roofing in Greensboro, NC
Great State Roofing completed a comprehensive luxury roof replacement for an architecturally distinctive home in the prestigious Country Club neighborhood of Greensboro, North Carolina 27408.
This project required more than a standard shingle installation. The home featured multiple roof systems, custom architectural details, decorative copper sections, and flat roof areas that all needed to function as one complete roofing and drainage system.
Our team installed CertainTeed Grand Manor luxury shingles, custom-fabricated copper valleys and flashings, new copper gutters and downspouts, replacement copper accent roofs, and a new EPDM membrane on the home’s flat roof sections. The finished roof preserves the property’s timeless character while providing updated weather protection and long-term performance.

- Property Type: Residential

The Roofing Challenge
Luxury and architecturally detailed homes often incorporate several different roofing materials and roof elevations. Each section must be carefully connected to prevent water intrusion and maintain a consistent architectural appearance.
This Greensboro home included steep-slope shingle areas, decorative copper roof accents, valleys, custom flashing details, a complete gutter system, and low-slope roof sections. Replacing only one part of the roof would not have provided the cohesive result the property required.
The project called for a roofing contractor with experience in premium shingles, custom copper fabrication, drainage systems, and flat roofing. Every transition between the materials needed to be properly planned and installed while preserving the home’s distinctive character.
CertainTeed Grand Manor Luxury Shingle Installation
Great State Roofing installed CertainTeed Grand Manor luxury shingles across the home’s primary sloped roof areas.
Grand Manor shingles provide a substantial, dimensional appearance inspired by natural slate. Their refined profile was well suited to the size, architecture, and established surroundings of the Country Club neighborhood.
The new shingle roof was installed using careful workmanship and manufacturer-approved installation practices. Particular attention was given to valleys, roof penetrations, edges, transitions, and areas where the shingle system connected with copper and low-slope roofing materials.
The result is a premium shingle roof that complements the home without compromising its traditional architectural style.
Custom Copper Valleys and Flashings
The project included custom-fabricated copper valleys and flashing components.
Valleys carry significant amounts of rainwater from intersecting roof slopes, making correct material selection and installation especially important. Copper offers the durability, appearance, and fabrication flexibility needed for complex residential roof designs.
Our roofing team fabricated and installed copper details to fit the home’s specific roof lines. These components provide protection at vulnerable transitions while creating a refined finish that coordinates with the property’s other copper features.
The copper will naturally develop a patina over time, allowing the new materials to age gracefully as part of the home’s exterior.
Decorative Copper Accent Roof Replacement
All decorative copper accent roofs were replaced as part of the renovation.
These smaller roof sections are an important part of the home’s architectural identity. Rather than covering or removing the original design elements, Great State Roofing recreated the copper accents so they would continue to complement the home’s character.
Custom copper work requires precise measuring, forming, seaming, and integration with surrounding roofing materials. Each accent section was installed as a functional roof component—not simply as decoration—so it could contribute to both the appearance and weather resistance of the property.
New Copper Gutters and Downspouts
The roofing renovation also included new copper gutters and downspouts.
A complete drainage system helps direct rainwater away from roof edges, exterior walls, landscaping, and the home’s foundation. On a property with multiple roof elevations and complex drainage paths, the gutters and downspouts must be properly coordinated with the new roof system.
Copper was selected to match the valleys, flashings, and decorative accent roofs. The new system gives the exterior a cohesive appearance while supporting effective water management throughout the property.
EPDM Roofing for the Flat Roof Sections
The home’s flat and low-slope roof sections required a roofing material designed specifically for those conditions. Traditional shingles are not intended for roof areas that lack sufficient slope for rapid water drainage.
Great State Roofing installed a new EPDM membrane roofing system on these sections. EPDM is a durable roofing membrane commonly used where dependable waterproof protection and flexibility are required.
Careful attention was given to the membrane’s edges, seams, penetrations, drainage points, and transitions to adjacent roofing materials. Proper integration was particularly important because the EPDM sections needed to work together with the luxury shingle roof and custom copper components.
A Complete Roofing System Designed for the Home
This project demonstrates the importance of treating a complex roof as one interconnected system.
The shingles protect the primary slopes. The copper valleys and flashings manage critical transitions. The decorative copper roofs preserve the architectural design. The EPDM membrane protects low-slope sections. The copper gutters and downspouts then carry water away from the structure.
By coordinating every component, Great State Roofing created a finished system that looks intentional from every angle and provides consistent protection across the property.
The Finished Result
The completed renovation combines premium roofing materials with traditional craftsmanship.
CertainTeed Grand Manor shingles provide a sophisticated foundation for the design, while the custom copper features highlight the home’s architectural details. The EPDM membrane delivers appropriate protection for the flat roof areas, and the new copper drainage system completes the exterior transformation.
The result is a cohesive luxury roof replacement designed to preserve the elegance of the home while improving its durability, waterproofing, and long-term roof performance.
