What you are looking at
The siding is a deep slate gray steel lap, and the white soffit, fascia and window trim stand out sharply against it. The charcoal shingles above are close to the same tone, so the walls and roof read as one dark, clean shape.
The house is a split-level design with a lower wing on one end. One photo shows the back entry: a white six-panel door under its own small gable roof, with a window above and a downspout running down the corner beside it.
The corner close-up looks up at the eave, where the new gutter wraps the corner and drops into a gray downspout that bends back toward the wall. The vented white soffit panels above it let air into the attic.
The detached garage has a white overhead door with the trim around it wrapped in white, a row of new windows high on the wall and a lower roof stepping down in front.
The yard is a mix of lawn and gravel, with a stand of trees behind the house and farm fields across the road.
The job file also lists new roofs on the detached garage and the shop, which sit across the yard from the house.
Under the Onyx Black color, Duration is built around Owens Corning's SureNail strip, a woven fabric band in the nailing zone that gives each nail more to hold, and Owens Corning rates it for winds up to 130 mph and UL 2218 Class 3 impact. On a Paynesville roof, a shingle that stays nailed flat in summer wind is also one that keeps drifting snow and meltwater from getting under the edges.
