DaVinci Roofing: Understanding Davinci Roofscapes Slate and Shake Roofing Systems

Natural roofing materials like slate and shake are often a very desirable look for many homeowners. Their charm and traditional look can often transform the appearance of a home, elevating curb appeal and sophistication. These natural materials, despite their appearance, often come with many drawbacks in terms of maintenance and durability. This is where DaVinci roofing comes in.

DaVinci Roofscapes roofing systems use composite materials that mimic the look of natural roofing systems without the associated cons. In this post, we’ll explain everything you need to know about the roofing systems DaVinci offers, compare natural roofing systems to their composite counterparts, and dive into how you can have a DaVinci roofing system installed on your home.

Why Choose DaVinci Roofing?

DaVinci Roofscapes are not just about the looks. They are engineered for superior performance and longevity. Their unique composite construction outperforms natural materials on several fronts. Here are a few reasons homeowners and builders opt for DaVinci over natural materials:

1. Durability: DaVinci roofing materials are engineered to withstand severe weather such as hail and strong winds, and are even fire resistant. Their roofing systems have a Class 4 Impact Rating, a Class A Fire Rating, and can ensure winds up to 110 mph.
2. Aesthetics: DaVinci has mastered the art of replicating the nuanced, natural beauty of slate and shake. Their products ensure each roof is unique using a non-repeating aesthetic that mimics the charm and variation of natural materials.
3. Eco-Friendliness: DaVinci’s roofing materials are a more sustainable option due to their durability, contributing to a lower carbon footprint and reducing waste. They also offer a roofing material recycling program for scraps and discarded roofing materials.
4. Low Maintenance: Unlike natural slate and shake that require regular maintenance, DaVinci roofs are virtually maintenance-free. They require little to no upkeep to stay in good condition for decades.

Comparing Natural and Composite Roofing Systems.

The allure of natural shake and slate is undeniable, but the practicality of maintaining such materials can be daunting for many homeowners. Natural slate is heavy, requiring extra structural support for the roof, and both slate and shake are susceptible to weathering. This means they often require replacements for damaged tiles, not to mention their more intricate and specialized installation processes.

DaVinci Roofscapes, on the other hand, offers the same elegant look without the heavier weight or high maintenance. Their composite material is lightweight, reducing the need for additional structural support, and is designed to resist fading, cracking, and curling. This allows for the same classic look of shake or slate without worrying about durability or ongoing maintenance issues.

DaVinci Roofing Installation Process

Installing a DaVinci roofing system requires planning and skilled execution by roofing professionals. You should work with a certified roofing company or contractor who has experience with DaVinci roofing systems. The installation process typically includes:

1. Assessment and Planning

Before the roof can be installed, your roofing company will perform an initial inspection of your current roof and help determine the best product line and color options for your home. They’ll also assess how much material and labor is required for the job and give you a time and cost estimate. 

2. Preparation

After planning, your roofing company and their team will return to prepare the roofing for the installation process. This involves the removal of old materials and preparation of the roof decking for the new system. Your roofer should also make any necessary repairs or updates to your roof as needed to ensure it can support your new roof.

3. Installation

Your roofing company will lay the DaVinci composite tiles, ensuring each tile is securely fastened and aligned for optimal performance and aesthetic appeal. They will also ensure each tile blends seamlessly with each other and with fixtures on your roof such as vents of skylights.

4. Finishing Touches

Once the roof is installed, your roofing team will add finishing touches such as ridge caps and any other additional elements to complete the look of the roof. They will conduct a final sweep and inspection to ensure everything is installed properly and clean up after the installation is complete.
