Metal roofs are becoming more available and affordable for residential installations, but they are not all created equal. Our standing seam sheet-metal roofing system is assembled using a hidden fastener clip system installation method, which allows for an expansion and contraction of the roofing panels with the temperature fluctuation but more importantly, there are no exposed fasteners that can eventually fail. This results in increased longevity of the installation of the roofing system. For this project we fabricated our panels on-site and to exact dimensions. This method reduces excessive waste of material and allows for adjustments to achieve a high-end custom look and will retain the aesthetic appeal of your home well into the future.

This home has "doggone" good design! This design, by Kendra Roenker of Modern Builders Supply, makes pet care easy for the owners, and luxurious for the dogs. The amenities go way beyond the basics. The faucet is placed above the water bowls—no more toting water from the kitchen sink and leaving a wet trail behind. The beds aren't just beds—they are raised beds with stepping stools. The feeding station holds toys, food, leashes and dog grooming tools—there will be no problems finding necessities. What more could a dog or a dog owner need? Kendra specified StarMark Cabinetry's Viola door style in Cherry finished in a beautiful brown cabinet color called Hazelnut. Job well done Kendra! Modern Builders Supply is a StarMark Cabinetry dealer in Florence, Kentucky.

In 2017, the challenge was to transform it from an eclectic mix of minimal functionality to a kitchen the new homeowners wanted to love for the "next 30 years." It was important in the overall kitchen design to give a nod to the stately manner of the home, yet have the styling reflect a more contemporary color palette and finishes.
