Project: Full Roof Replacement
Neighborhood: Carmel Ridge / McAlpine area, south Charlotte
Zip code: 28226
Shingle: Owens Corning Duration Series, Williamsburg Gray
Crew: Charlotte Ace Roofing
Completed: May 14, 2026

The Project

Charlotte Ace Roofing recently completed a full tear-off and roof replacement on a home on Rock Canyon Drive in the Carmel Ridge area of south Charlotte. The homeowner selected Owens Corning Duration Series architectural shingles in Williamsburg Gray — one of the most popular shingle colors in Charlotte right now for brick, Hardie, and stucco homes.

Why Williamsburg Gray?

Williamsburg Gray is a balanced cool-gray blend with subtle blue and charcoal tones. It pairs well with the brick and earth-tone exteriors common in south Charlotte neighborhoods like Carmel Ridge, Stoneybrook, Raintree, Quail Hollow, Piper Glen, Ballantyne, and Providence Plantation. Compared to a flat black or pewter shingle, Williamsburg Gray softens harsh sun glare and reads as a true mid-tone gray from the street — modern without being trendy.

About Owens Corning Duration Shingles

The Duration Series is Owens Corning's flagship architectural shingle and includes:

SureNail Technology — a woven fabric strip in the nailing zone that increases fastener pull-through resistance
130 mph wind warranty
Class A fire rating (the highest available)
StreakGuard algae-resistant granules — keeps the roof from developing those black streaks common in humid Charlotte summers
Limited Lifetime Warranty on the shingles
