Roofing Project Gallery

Find the modern roof that fits your home

Every roof in this gallery started the same way — with a homeowner trying to picture what a new roof would actually look like on their own house. A modern roof is about more than curb appeal. It is a system engineered to protect your home, cut energy costs, and hold its value for decades in North Carolina's demanding climate. Browsing real projects by material is the easiest way to narrow down the look and performance you want before you ever schedule an inspection.

What makes a roof "modern"?

A modern roof combines updated materials, smarter installation methods, and better underlying protection than the roofs built a generation ago. Today's architectural asphalt shingles carry stronger wind ratings and algae resistance. Standing seam metal delivers a clean, contemporary profile while reflecting heat away from your home. Synthetic slate and shake reproduce the timeless look of natural materials at a fraction of the weight, and concrete tile brings lasting durability with a distinctive style. Whatever the material, a genuinely modern roof is built on a foundation of sealed underlayment, proper ventilation, and precise flashing — the details that determine how long it lasts.

Modern roofing built for North Carolina

The right modern roof for a home in Raleigh or the Triangle is one designed for our specific weather: intense summer heat and UV, heavy rain and humidity, hail-bearing spring storms, and the reach of Atlantic hurricanes. Cadmus Construction selects and installs every roof with those conditions in mind, pairing modern materials with installation practices that go beyond code. The result is a roof that not only looks current but performs — shedding water, resisting wind uplift, and staying cooler through a Carolina August.
