Copper Standing Seam Metal Roof & Board and Batten Siding

The project

This Northern Michigan home needed a full exterior refresh: a roof that could shed heavy snow for decades and siding that would look sharp with almost no upkeep. The homeowners wanted something with real character, so we paired a striking copper-colored standing seam metal roof with cream board and batten siding and warm shake accents on the entry gable.

What we installed

• Standing seam metal roof in a copper finish across the main house, porch, and entry, with matching trim and fascia.
• Kingspan GreenGuard house wrap over the walls before any siding went on, to manage moisture and air leaks.
• Vertical board and batten siding for a clean, modern farmhouse look.
• Beach House shake siding on the entry gable for a cedar look without cedar maintenance.

Why standing seam made sense here

Standing seam panels have concealed fasteners and smooth, continuous runs from ridge to eave, so heavy snow slides off instead of piling up and feeding ice dams. The low-slope porch roof was another reason: standing seam handles lower pitches where shingles struggle. Combined with low-maintenance siding, this home is set up for decades of Northern Michigan winters.
