Re-roofing with resilient composite tiles

By DaVinci Roofscapes.

Learn why DaVinci composite roofing is such a good option for homes in places with extreme weather.

Defeated. Overwhelmed. Beaten. Property owners who have lived through a major weather event, only to learn that their roofs did not survive, can feel all these emotions.

That’s one of the main reasons why roofers need to be more than just contractors. You need to serve a dual purpose: emotional support system plus a sensible link to an insurance adjuster. And then, when it’s time to re-roof, you need to be the voice of experience that makes sure your client will never go through this awful experience again.

How do you do this? The answer can be found in resilient composite roofing tiles.

Tough and made to withstand severe weather conditions, composite shake and slate tiles from DaVinci Roofscapes are made of virgin resins, UV and thermal stabilizers as well as a highly-specialized fire retardant. These robust tiles can withstand winds up to 180 mph. Best of all, the durable tiles are Class 4 impact rated, so even large hail bounces off without damaging the roof.

Resilience roofing rationale #1

If you live in Omaha, Nebraska, your roof has to be resilient. The high probability of hail each year makes most roofing materials whimper in pain.

Homeowner John Reed discovered that when it comes to roofing, it’s worth making the investment in a composite roof. “We’ve lived in our home since 2006,” says John. “Since that time we’ve just had our third — and hopefully last — roof installation. Hailstorms just destroyed our first two asphalt shingle roofs.

The impact-resistant DaVinci Slate roofing we now have on our roof looks nicer than the previous asphalt roofing. It fits the style of our home better. And, now we get about $1,000 off our homeowner insurance premiums every year. This is an investment for any Omaha homeowner.”

Resilience roofing rationale #2

Not too far away from Nebraska, owners of Gaillardia Parkway Office Park were also thinking of the need for resilient roofing when it came time to replace mansard roofing on two of their five office buildings.

“The challenge for us is that weather in Oklahoma City changes frequently,” says David D. Le Norman, owner of Le Norman Properties LLC. “We needed a better quality product that could offer us a lifetime of protection from high winds, hail and other forms of severe weather. At the same time, we wanted an aesthetically pleasing roof. Something that would match the look of slate on the other structures in the office park.

We chose the composite DaVinci product for its slate-like appearance and durability. We chose Champion Roofing because of their first-class service and successful history installing this type of roofing system. We definitely feel that they’ve provided a quality product and roofing system that is resilient and will stand the test of time.”
