Monty’s home in Decatur, Indiana has a distinctive gambrel roofline that immediately sets it apart. It originally carried cedar shakes, and while they had character, they were well past their prime. The roof was showing its age, and patching it again did not make sense. What mattered most to Monty was preserving the home’s history. He could not picture replacing those original cedar shakes with something that stripped away the architectural feel. The roof needed to honor the design, not fight it. He chose the EDCO Arrowline SHAKE HD metal shingle system to maintain that dimensional shake appearance while upgrading to a steel-based roofing system built for long-term durability. The profile complements the gambrel lines and keeps the home’s character intact in Adams County. Now that the roof reflects the look he always wanted to preserve, the next step is siding that better matches the strength and presence of the new roof. For Monty, this was not just a replacement. It was a restoration decision done with intention.
