Metal Shake Shingle Roof on Loon Lake in Columbia City, Indiana
This Loon Lake project in Columbia City, Indiana involved protecting multiple structures on the same property with systems designed for both performance and visual consistency. The homeowner selected an interlocking metal shingle system in a shake profile for the main residence. With full lake exposure in Whitley County, wind-driven rain, snow, and seasonal temperature swings were important considerations. The shake profile provides dimensional character that fits a lakefront setting while delivering the durability of a steel-based roofing system. To maintain a cohesive look across the property, the detached shed and in-law cabin were finished with a matching exposed fastener metal roof. While simpler in design, it complements the main home visually and provides practical coverage for accessory buildings. The result is a unified roofing approach across the entire Loon Lake property. The primary residence benefits from the higher-performance interlocking system, while the secondary structures receive durable, coordinated protection that fits the overall setting.
