Metal Roofing & Luxury Roof Systems in Raleigh, NC
The most beautiful roof and the most sustainable roof are often the same roof — the one built so well you only install it once. Cadmus specializes in premium systems, and metal roofing in Raleigh is at the heart of what we do: standing seam metal, copper, synthetic slate and shake, and tile that elevate your home and last for generations.
Premium roofing systems we install
Serving homeowners and property owners across Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Wake Forest, Morrisville, Durham, Holly Springs & the greater Triangle.
Composite slate & shake
Products like Brava are molded from real slate and hand-split shake, made largely from recycled material, Class 4 impact-rated, and backed by 50-year warranties — the look of natural slate or cedar at a weight conventional framing handles.
Standing seam metal & copper
Concealed-fastener metal and timeless copper deliver 40–70+ years of service, shed NC storms, reflect summer heat, and develop character over time. The definition of buy-it-once roofing.
Natural & concrete tile
Slate and tile systems offer a distinctive, fireproof, extraordinarily long-lived roof for the right home and structure.
Architectural & luxury shingles
As a CertainTeed Master Craftsman installer, we also offer top-tier dimensional and designer shingles with industry-leading warranties for a premium look at a friendlier price point.
Beauty that's also responsible
Sustainability by design
The greenest roof is the one you only install once. Long-lifespan and recycled-content systems keep two or three asphalt roofs out of the landfill.
Master Craftsman credential
CertainTeed's highest installer certification means access to warranty coverage most contractors can't offer, and workmanship held to a documented standard.
Honest material guidance
We bring samples to your home and look at them against your brick, siding, and trim — in daylight — and tell you honestly which system fits your home and timeline.
Structural know-how
Heavier materials like natural slate can require structural evaluation. We assess it properly rather than promising what a roof can't safely carry.

Common questions
Does composite slate really look like the real thing?
From the ground, most people can't tell the difference — composite tiles are molded directly from natural slate and shake, so the texture and edge variation are authentic. We're glad to bring samples and show you installed examples around the Triangle.
Is a metal or copper roof worth the higher cost?
For a home you'll own long-term, usually yes. A standing seam or copper roof commonly outlasts two or three asphalt roofs, needs little maintenance, and reflects heat — so the higher upfront cost is spread over a far longer life.
Will a premium roof lower my insurance?
Many carriers offer discounts for Class 4 impact-rated materials like composite. It varies by insurer, so ask your agent — we'll provide the product documentation they need.
Are these materials strong enough for NC storms?
Yes — that's a core reason we favor them. Composite, metal, and tile all stand up to wind and hail better than standard asphalt, which matters in our hurricane- and hail-prone climate.
