Sierra Tan Metal Roof Installation in Durham, NC

Project location: Durham, North Carolina

This Durham home was upgraded from aging asphalt shingles to a new Sierra Tan metal roof. The warm, neutral finish complements the home’s tan siding and wooded setting while giving the roof a cleaner, more durable exterior.

Before: aging asphalt shingles

The previous asphalt roof showed years of exposure beneath mature trees, including debris buildup along the roof intersections and gutters. These real project photos document the condition before the metal-roof upgrade.

After: a Sierra Tan metal roof

Sierra Tan gives this home a light, architectural finish that works naturally with the existing siding, white trim, black shutters, brick chimney and surrounding trees. The finished roof creates crisp, defined rooflines without overpowering the house.

Why the color works

• Warm Sierra Tan complements the home’s existing tan exterior.
• The lighter finish looks clean beneath heavy tree cover.
• The metal profile adds definition to the simple roof shape.
• The completed system replaces the worn asphalt appearance with a long-term roofing upgrade.
