What buildings in Lake Norman and the Catawba Valley are up against
Lakefront and multi-building communities face wind-driven rain off the water, aging sealants and balconies, and gutters and roof edges that can no longer handle heavy storms. New multifamily construction along the I-77 and I-40 corridors benefits most from early design review and QA visits before cladding covers the details.
