Cedar Roof Replacement in Lake Forest with Brava Shake Roof

Our most recent cedar roof replacement in Lake Forest is a great showcase of Brava composite shake! Homeowners seeking a durable and visually striking upgrade for their aging cedar shake roof are turning to the innovative Brava shake, a synthetic roofing product. Unlike natural cedar, which is prone to rot, splitting, and weather damage, Brava’s composite material is engineered to last. Designed to mimic the classic beauty of cedar, Brava shake roofs provide a worry-free solution for those looking for a long-term investment in their home. A Lake Forest roof replacement with Brava shake offers not only enhanced durability but also improved energy efficiency and resistance to the elements.

Brava shake roofing is an excellent choice for the Lake Forest and Chicagoland climate, offering great performance in every season. Brava shake resists fire with a Class C fire rating, and is also much more resistant to pests. Brava shake is also warranted against fading, so the color you choose will be the color of your roof without any changing, staining, or discoloration. These are some of the benefits that persuade clients to replace their cedar shake roofs in Lake Forest with new Brava Shake. New copper roof and chimney flashings tie in the entire cedar roof replacement and add a touch of shiny and durable sophistication.  Adding snow guards ensures the safety of your property during Lake Forest’s snowy winters by reducing the risk of snow and ice sliding off the roof, giving you peace of mind through the coldest months.

Commercial Multi-Family Flat Roof Replacement in Lake Forest

Returning to the North Shore is something we always enjoy. Partly because of how nice the area is, and partly because it almost feels like a second home to us. This recent multi-family flat roof replacement in Lake Forest went so smoothly and efficiently because of this. Our expert flat roof crews are always very detailed and efficient, and being near the lake, from Lake Bluff, to Riverwoods, Highland Park, Winnetka, Wilmette, and of course Lake Forest, just adds a little extra energy.

The flat roofs we recently replaced on these town homes in Lake Forest were done to architect specifications and will ensure that they look and perform at their best. Starting with a recovery board, topped with polyiso insulation, and a top layer of adhered commercial Carlisle EPDM membrane, this roof will provide waterproofing, additional insulation, and even reduce the audible noise. Using a full Carlisle roof system along with all recommended EPDM accessories allows us to provide a 20-year warranty for the entire flat roof replacement. Alongside the membrane roof replacement, we also had our sheet metal crew fabricate custom copper copings and copper overflow boxes. The copper copings are essential perimeter flashings to ensure proper water and ice shedding, and the copper overflows make sure that the roof never floods if the drains become clogged. The homeowner association also requested that we replace the custom Velux skylights on some of the units and perform masonry repairs on the chimneys. What may seem like a complicated community flat roof replacement in Lake Forest, was a perfect challenge to keep our crews motivated.
