The Dresden project
A roof that respects the home beneath it
Wanda had lived in her Dresden home for 32 years. Its brick exterior, detailed gables and mature setting carried the character she wanted to preserve. When a leak reached the bedroom, she needed durability without losing the home’s lines.

How trust was earned
The details that shaped Wanda’s experience
A leak made the decision urgent
The new roof needed to solve the immediate problem—and feel right for a home Wanda had cared for for decades.
Trust started before installation
How Country Towne treated people mattered. Respect was visible before the first panel reached the roof.
Questions were always welcome
Clear, patient answers helped Wanda feel confident about the ridged SnapLock profile and the process.
The schedule respected family life
The crew worked around her daughter’s wedding and kept the property orderly throughout the project.
Plans could still adapt
When soffit lighting was added late, the team accommodated the change rather than making it a problem.
The finished roof held its ground
At filming, Wanda reported no leaks through roughly six months and significant windstorms.
The roof system
A clean profile for a home with character
The dark standing-seam profile follows the home’s rooflines without competing with the brickwork and architectural details. Concealed fastening gives the roof a crisp finish while supporting the durable, low-maintenance result Wanda was looking for.
