Blue Ridge Roofing is a three-crew shop in South Asheville that’s been specializing in metal and slate work for thirty-seven years. We don’t chase storms. We don’t sell asphalt to customers who want it. We do the kind of roof that becomes part of the house.
24-gauge Kynar 500, hand-soldered valleys, matching snow rails. 22-day turn.
Blue Ridge is a specialty roofer. We don’t do asphalt replacement, we don’t chase hail claims, and we don’t take volume jobs. What we do, we do by hand — and we warranty every seam.
24-gauge Kynar 500 panels, mechanically or snap-seamed, in copper, zinc, or painted steel. Mountain-home standard.
Vermont, Virginia, and Welsh slate. Random-width and graduated installation patterns. Copper nails, copper ridges.
1890s Queen Annes, 1920s craftsman, stone lodges. We restore the roof you have rather than selling you a new one that doesn’t match.
Gutters, ridge caps, finials, custom turret roofs. Our shop builds what nobody else will fabricate.
“My father started Blue Ridge with one copper ladle and a handshake. When I took over in 2004, I kept the rule he started with: we only install what we’d put on our own house. If a homeowner wants something we wouldn’t build, we tell them honestly and send them to someone else. That’s the whole business.”
Because we’re a specialty shop, our project timelines are longer than a shingle roofer’s. We think that’s the point.
Thomas or our office manager, Diane, picks up during business hours. We’ll ask about the house and book a consultation.
We walk the property, measure, and discuss materials in person. Takes about 90 minutes. No pressure.
Detailed scope within two weeks. Material options, hand-drawn elevation sketches, and a transparent timeline.
Metal roofs: 2–4 weeks. Slate: 4–8 weeks. Same crew start to finish. We clean up daily.
Our 1924 craftsman in Montford needed a full slate replacement and the local historic board wasn’t making it easy. Thomas walked the approvals with us, sourced salvage Vermont slate from three different quarries, and made the new roof indistinguishable from the original. Extraordinary work.
Hired Blue Ridge for standing-seam copper on our new build. Four other contractors quoted us. Only Thomas’s crew actually sketched the elevations and showed us how the valleys would run. The finished roof is the feature everyone asks about. Worth every penny.
Our 1890s Queen Anne’s turret had been patched so many times it was half plywood. Blue Ridge rebuilt the whole thing in copper — hand-fabricated in their shop, installed in a week, and the verdigris is already starting to come in beautifully. It’s the reason the house exists.
Free consultation. Honest advice about materials, budget, and whether we’re even the right shop for the job.
