- Swannanoa Valley Roofing
Cottages, Cabins and Mountain Homes
Black Mountain sits at the eastern end of the Swannanoa Valley, along I-40 east of Asheville, with high ridges rising on almost every side. The town has a lively downtown, older cottages on its side streets, and homes and cabins scattered up wooded slopes all around. Many of those houses are surrounded by tall trees, which means shade, falling leaves and branches over the roof for much of the year.
The Swannanoa Valley took a heavy blow from Hurricane Helene in late September 2024, and the community has been working to recover ever since. If your roof came through with damage that was only partly addressed, or you are still noticing drips or stains, we would be glad to take a careful look. Pablo will tell you plainly whether it needs a repair or a replacement.
Some homes here are second homes, rentals or cabins that sit empty part of the year, and a slow leak can go unnoticed for weeks. A tight roof and gutters that drain properly are the best protection. Metal roofing is a popular choice for mountain cabins because it sheds snow, rain and leaf debris easily, and we manufacture our own panels and trim in a range of colors and profiles.
Roofing and Exterior Services in the Valley
Metal Roofing
A metal roof suits a mountain cabin or cottage, shedding snow and leaves and standing up to wind. We make the panels and trim on our own machine and sell materials if you prefer to install them yourself.
Roof Repair
Leaks under heavy tree cover often start at valleys clogged with leaves or at flashing around chimneys. We locate the cause, repair it right, and point out anything else that needs attention.
Roof Replacement
When a cottage or cabin roof is worn out, we replace it with shingles or metal, checking the decking for the soft spots that damp, shaded conditions tend to create.
Storm Damage Repair
After wind or falling limbs, we inspect the roof, record every damaged area with photos and written notes, and make the repairs. You can share that record with your insurer if you need to.
Gutters
Leaf fall in the valley packs gutters fast. We install and repair gutters and downspouts so heavy rain moves off the roof and away from foundations and crawl spaces.
Siding
Shaded, wooded lots keep siding damp. We repair rotted or damaged sections and install new siding that helps your home or cabin stay dry and look its best.

Questions From Black Mountain Homeowners
Is metal roofing a good choice for a cabin?
For many cabins it is an excellent fit. Metal sheds snow, rain, leaves and pine needles easily, does not give moss much to grip, and stands up well to wind on exposed slopes. It also suits the look of a mountain cabin. We make our panels and trim in-house, so you can pick the profile and color you want.
Our home is a second home. How can we tell if the roof is leaking while we are away?
Often you cannot until you come back and find a stain or a musty smell. That is why an inspection before the wet season, and gutters that drain properly, are worth it for homes that sit empty. We can check the roof, repair weak spots, and put our findings in writing so you know where things stand.
Our roof was damaged in a storm that came through the valley. Can you still help?
Yes. Storm damage often keeps turning up long afterward, especially on roofs that were patched quickly or only partly repaired. We inspect the whole roof, not just the obvious spot, and document what we find thoroughly. You can share that documentation with your insurer, and we give you a written estimate for the repair or replacement.
Tall trees shade most of our roof. Is that a problem?
Shade itself is not the enemy, but what comes with it can be. Roofs under heavy cover dry slowly, collect leaves in valleys and gutters, and tend to grow moss and algae that shorten shingle life. During an inspection we pay extra attention to those areas, and we can suggest materials and gutter setups that handle a wooded lot better.
How do I schedule a free estimate?
The quickest way is to call (828) 273-5321 during office hours, Monday through Friday from 8 to 5, or send us a message through the form. We will set up a visit, inspect the roof, and get a written estimate to you afterward. It is free and carries no obligation.
Can I buy metal roofing panels from you for a shed or cabin project?
Yes. We sell the metal roofing materials we make in-house to homeowners and contractors. Tell us about the project, and we will help you measure and work out what to order, including the trim pieces, so you are not left short halfway through.
