What composite roofing is
Composite (also called synthetic) roofing is made from engineered polymer materials molded to look like natural slate or hand-split cedar shake. It's installed as individual tiles, much like the real thing, so the finished roof has the same depth and shadow lines.
We have quoted Brava composite roofing for homeowners who wanted a premium look. We'll go over product options, colors and profiles with you, and walk you through the manufacturer's own published specifications and warranty terms so you're working from the source.
Why homeowners consider it
Natural slate is heavy and can require structural reinforcement. Real cedar needs maintenance and weathers unevenly. Composite tiles are designed to avoid both problems while keeping a high-end appearance that suits lake homes, historic-style architecture and custom builds.
It is a premium product and costs more than asphalt shingles. For many homes, architectural asphalt is the practical choice, and we'll help you weigh the two honestly.
Composite roofing questions
Is composite roofing more expensive than asphalt?
Yes. Composite tiles and their installation cost significantly more than asphalt shingles. We'll give you a written proposal for both options if you'd like to compare.
Does it look fake?
Quality composite tiles are molded from real slate and shake and come in blended colors. The best way to judge is to see samples in person, which we can bring.
Can my current roof structure support it?
Composite tiles weigh far less than natural slate. We still check the structure and decking as part of every proposal.
