All your Roofing needs in one place
A new roof installation is a major investment. If you are considering replacing your existing roof, consider the various kinds of roofing options and be sure that your roof really needs to be replaced – it may only need to be repaired. To be sure about the condition of your roof, contact a licensed inspector to do a roof inspection. Read below about the most common types of roofing materials for residential structures.

- Cedar shingles – sawn on both sides for a tapered appearance. Available in 16″ 5x, 18″ perfection or 24″ royal lengths.

DaVinci Roofscapes
DaVinci makes both simulated shake and synthetic slate roof shingles. DaVinci shake and slate products are made from 100% virgin resin. They are a manmade product that looks like their natural counterpart. They are available in Bellaforte, Single Width or Multi Width. There are standard colors that you would find in a natural slate or shake roof. They can also create custom blends and colors. The tiles are designed to be lightweight and have a class A fire rating (with appropriate underlayments).
Tile, Slate, & Composite Roofs
Composed of either clay or concrete are perhaps the longest lasting roofing material available, frequently lasting more than 50 years. They are extremely fire resistant, and normally require little or no maintenance. Tiles offer greater variety in color and texture than slate, which is typically found in black, gray or dark red. However, tile or slate roof installation is a more expensive project.
