Materials we install
Every material we offer, with honest pros and cons to help you choose with confidence.
Asphalt Shingle
The most common residential roofing material, valued for affordability, broad color selection, and straightforward replacement. It offers a practical balance of cost and performance, though it generally has a shorter service life than premium roofing systems.
- Affordable upfront cost
- Wide range of colors and styles
- Fast, straightforward installation
- Shortest lifespan of common materials (roughly 15–20 years)
- Less impact and wind resistance than premium options
Designer Asphalt
A heavier, more dimensional asphalt shingle designed to create a more architectural appearance. It offers a step up in aesthetics while keeping the familiar installation and maintenance characteristics of an asphalt roof.
- Richer, dimensional curb appeal
- Stronger wind ratings than standard 3-tab asphalt
- Longer manufacturer warranties (30–50 yr)
- Costs more than standard asphalt
- Still a wear-and-replace material, not a lifetime roof
BRAVA Synthetic Slate & Shake
A lightweight composite roofing system designed to replicate the appearance of natural slate or cedar shake. It is often selected for its architectural look, impact resistance, and lower maintenance requirements compared with the natural materials it resembles.
- Class 4 impact resistance
- Lightweight — no structural reinforcement needed
- 50-year warranty, very low maintenance
- Higher upfront cost than asphalt
- Newer product with a shorter track record than natural materials
Standing Seam Metal
A concealed-fastener metal roofing system known for clean architectural lines and long-term performance. It is lightweight, durable, and increasingly popular on both modern and traditional homes.
- 40–70 year lifespan
- Reflects heat and pairs well with solar
- Minimal ongoing maintenance
- Higher material and labor cost than asphalt
- Can dent from severe hail depending on panel gauge
Natural Virginia Slate
A quarried natural stone roofing material known for its character, longevity, and ability to be repaired over generations. Slate is a premium roofing system that requires specialized installation and consideration of the home’s structural capacity.
- 100+ year lifespan
- Unmatched natural beauty and authenticity
- Fireproof and virtually maintenance-free
- Highest upfront cost of any roofing material
- Heavy — often requires structural evaluation
- Requires specialized, experienced installers
Cedar Shake
A natural wood roofing material valued for its texture, variation, and ability to weather beautifully over time. Cedar requires more ongoing maintenance than many manufactured roofing materials, but its natural appearance is difficult to replicate.
- Natural insulating value
- Distinctive, textured curb appeal
- Renewable, eco-friendly material
- More maintenance (cleaning/treatment) than synthetic alternatives
- Shorter lifespan (20–30 yr) than metal or slate
- Higher fire risk unless treated
Concrete Tile
A durable roofing material available in traditional barrel and flat architectural profiles. Concrete tile offers long-term performance and distinctive styling, while its heavier weight may require structural consideration depending on the home.
- 50+ year lifespan
- Excellent fire and wind resistance
- Low ongoing maintenance
- Very heavy — most homes need a structural evaluation first
- Higher cost than asphalt
- Individual tiles can crack from impact
