A Roof That Defines the Home, Not the Other Way Around.
DaVinci is the roof you choose when the look of your home matters as much as how it protects you. Each tile is engineered to replicate hand-split cedar shake or quarried slate, then built to outperform both of them. No fading. No splitting. No moss. No regrets.
Built For Homes That Should Be Seen.
Six reasons DaVinci is the roof of choice for the homeowner who wants something that lasts and stands apart.
Two Profiles. One Standard of Quality.
Whether you want the relaxed, textured warmth of hand-split shake or the formal lines of quarried slate, DaVinci has the profile.
The Look of Natural. Without the Maintenance of Natural.
Cedar shake and natural slate are beautiful materials. They are also fragile, heavy, and high-maintenance in Chicago's climate. DaVinci is the answer to that problem.
vs. Real Cedar Shake
- No moss, mildew, or rot
- No annual cedar treatments to maintain
- No splitting in freeze-thaw cycles
- Color stays true. Cedar greys out within 5 years.
vs. Quarried Slate
- A fraction of the weight
- No structural reinforcement needed
- Far easier to repair or replace a tile
- Cost of natural slate, without the cost of natural slate
A Roof That Pays You Back.
Chicago suburbs sit in one of the country's more active hail corridors. DaVinci carries the top Class 4 impact rating, the same rating insurers reward.
Many major homeowner insurance carriers offer a premium discount on policies once a Class 4 roof is installed. Ask your agent. It often pays back a meaningful piece of the roof investment over time.
The Highest Hail Impact Rating Available
Standard asphalt shingles do not qualify. Natural cedar shake does not qualify. DaVinci does.
Frequently Asked Questions
DaVinci is a premium roofing product engineered to look like real shake or slate while performing better than either. Each tile is made from a durable polymer that holds its color, resists hail, and doesn't rot, split, or grow moss. It carries the top Class 4 impact rating and a 50-year limited warranty.
DaVinci is backed by a 50-year limited warranty, and most installations are designed to perform that full term in Chicago weather. Because it doesn't absorb moisture, doesn't freeze-crack, and doesn't host moss or mildew, it doesn't have the issues that shorten the life of natural cedar shake.
From the ground, almost no one can tell the difference. DaVinci tiles are molded directly from real cedar shake and quarried slate, so the texture, the grain, the variation, and the depth are all there. The difference is that the look stays that way for decades instead of fading and weathering in a few years.
Often, yes. DaVinci carries the top Class 4 impact rating, and many homeowner insurance carriers offer a premium discount on policies covering Class 4 roofs. The discount varies by carrier and policy, so confirm with your agent, but it is one of the meaningful financial benefits of choosing DaVinci over a standard shingle.
It's slightly heavier than asphalt shingle, but it is dramatically lighter than real slate. That matters: natural slate often requires expensive structural reinforcement to support the weight. DaVinci does not. A typical home framed for asphalt shingle can usually carry a DaVinci roof with no engineering retrofit.
