Country Manor Shake Metal Roofing in Raleigh, Durham & the Triangle
Country Manor Shake is a premium aluminum roof that captures the deep, hand-split look of natural cedar shake, without the rot, insects, or fire risk of real wood. Forge Construction Group installs Country Manor Shake by Classic Metal Roofing Systems across Raleigh, Cary, Durham, Chapel Hill, and Wake Forest, giving established homes a lifetime metal roof with timeless character.
Why Choose Forge for a Country Manor Shake Roof
A metal shake roof is a lifetime investment, and it performs only as well as it is installed. Forge installs Country Manor Shake to Classic Metal Roofing Systems’ specifications, with the interlocking panel system fully engaged, so your roof earns its wind rating and its warranty. One accountable team handles the entire project from tear-off to final detail.
What Is a Country Manor Shake Roof?
Country Manor Shake is a stamped aluminum roofing system, made by Classic Metal Roofing Systems, formed to replicate the random widths, heights, and shadow lines of hand-split cedar shake. Each panel interlocks on all four sides and is finished in a Hi-R heat-reflective coating. From the street it reads as a rich cedar-shake roof, while on your home it performs like modern architectural metal. It has been manufactured since 1996.
Country Manor Shake vs. Natural Cedar Shake
Both give you that coveted dimensional shake look. The difference is what happens over the next fifty years. Natural cedar is beautiful, but it needs periodic cleaning and treatment and stays vulnerable to rot, insects, moisture, and fire. Country Manor Shake delivers the same hand-split appearance in interlocking aluminum that will not rot, crack, curl, or burn, resists winds up to 120 mph, and is backed by a lifetime warranty. For homeowners who love the cedar look but not the upkeep or the fire risk, the metal shake wins on every practical measure except pure authenticity.
Is a Metal Shake Roof Right for an Established Triangle Home?
Yes. Country Manor Shake suits the character homes across the Triangle, from Hope Valley to Inside the Beltline, where owners want lasting quality that still looks the part. The aluminum panels are lightweight, so the system adds minimal load to the structure, and the reflective finish helps cut summer cooling costs. It is one of the few roofs that improves curb appeal and long-term performance at the same time.

How Much Does a Country Manor Shake Roof Cost in the Triangle?
A metal shake roof is priced by the project. The biggest factors are roof size and pitch, tear-off of the existing roof, complexity such as dormers and valleys, and color. Premium aluminum shake sits at the higher end of residential roofing up front, and it earns that back over a lifetime, because you are buying a roof designed to be the last one your home needs. Forge provides a detailed, fixed proposal after an on-site assessment.
