What you are looking at.

These are jobs, not renderings. Ken has run hundreds of projects across Macon, Jackson, Swain and Haywood counties, and the work on this page spans the range: architectural shingle tear-offs, standing seam metal, synthetic slate and cedar shake, seamless gutters, additions and full builds.

The public projects are worth calling out. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park visitor center in Cherokee was a federal job worked directly with a National Park supervisor to meet strict guidelines. The Town of Franklin water plant was municipal. Both were awarded on vetting and inspected to standards a house never faces, and both were done by the same crew that will show up at your home.

More photos are coming. Ken has a large library of before-and-after and drone documentation that is not on this page yet. If you want to see work close to you or on a roof like yours, call and ask.

About This Work

FAQ

Are these your actual jobs?

Yes. Every photo on this page is a roof, gutter run or build this crew completed in Western North Carolina. Nothing here is stock photography or a manufacturer sample.

What is the biggest job you have done?

A 100-square synthetic cedar shake roof in Highlands. On the commercial and public side, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park visitor center in Cherokee and the Town of Franklin water plant.

Can I see a job near me before I decide?

Usually. Ken has run hundreds of jobs across Macon, Jackson, Swain and Haywood counties. Call 828-634-5200 with your town and he can point you at work nearby.

Do you document jobs with drone photos?

Yes, on larger roofs. Drone documentation shows the finished field, the valleys and the flashing detail in a way a ladder photo cannot.
