Shingle Roof Replacement on Townhomes in Northbrook

When dealing with a shingle roof replacement on multi-family properties, guaranteeing a durable, visually appealing, and properly installed roof is a must. This ensures long-term protection and satisfaction for every resident. This shingle roof replacement in Northbrook replaced an older shingle with a new, durable GAF architectural shingle. With improved wind and impact resistance and a sophisticated, dimensional look, this new shingle roof enhances both performance and aesthetics. Multi-family buildings require high-quality materials and consistent quality of installation to maintain a uniform appearance while maximizing longevity. In addition to the new shingle roofing installation in Northbrook, we installed GAF new peel and stick modified bitumen roofing in low slope valleys for increased durability and waterproofing. With heat welded flat roof seams and new flashings, the entire shingle roof installation and flat roof system will last for decades, and each unit owner will be worry free. 

Proper roof drainage is just as important as a durable roof, which is why this shingle roof replacement project also included new aluminum gutters in Northbrook. A well-designed gutter system efficiently directs water away from the structure, preventing foundation issues and exterior damage. Multi-family properties and townhomes rely on professionally installed roofs and gutters that protect multiple units from costly repairs, which is where our expertise and experience comes in. By combining architectural shingles, efficient flat roofing, and proper water drainage management, this project significantly improved the homeowner's association and community value. Every element was carefully chosen to provide long-term performance and reduce the need for maintenance. Now, this multi-family association in Northbrook is fully equipped with new shingle roofing, new flat roofing, and new aluminum gutters to handle the elements while maintaining its polished, sophisticated look. Consistent communication and accommodation left every unit owner satisfied and impressed with their new shingle roofs.

Brava Synthetic Cedar Shake Roof in Northbrook

There are many synthetic roofing products in the market, but here at Smart Roofing Inc. we use only the best. Based on our 25 years of experience and seeing a multitude of options, Brava synthetic cedar shake and DaVinci synthetic shake are the best all around. From the shape to the color to the quality, these composite roofing material last much longer than natural cedar shake, look great throughout their lifespan without changing color, and are much more durable to all elements. These are exactly the reasons why this homeowner in Northbrook decided to have his roof done with Brava.

Selecting the right roof is always a concern when having to replace your existing roof. With synthetic materials the main issue is the look of the finished roof. Many people worry that composite roofing materials will end up looking like plastic and will be very easy to spot as synthetic. That is where Brava steals the spotlight and displays its realism so nicely in this home we did in Northbrook. With variable widths of cedar pieces, variable thickness, wood grain texture, and a beautiful selection of colors, Brava's synthetic shake looks like the real deal. The color choices, and even the option for custom colors, ensure that your roof will look like a real aged cedar shake roof. With a natural Class A and optional class C fire rating, 50 year limited warranty, and a Class 4 impact rating, this synthetic cedar shake roof  will last much longer than a regular cedar shake roof and withstand all the elements Northbrook can offer.

The only thing that can compliment a great Brava roof, is great copper sheet metal work and copper gutters. With at least a 50 year life expectancy of this synthetic shake, copper will easily last just as long, and the color will age to match the Brava shake even better. Smart Roofing Inc. is especially proud of the copper finial on the turret roof, which was coated with an acrylic clear finish at the homeowner's request to prevent aging of the copper and ensure it will shine for decades. We are very proud of this Brava synthetic cedar shake roof in Northbrook.

SMART Roofing is a proud member of the Cedar Shake & Shingle Bureau:

The Cedar Shake and Shingle Bureau is a non-profit organization that promotes the use of Certi-label^TM cedar roofing and sidewall products. On June 9, 1915, at a meeting of the Trustees of the West Coast Lumber Manufacturers Association, it was agreed to establish a branch of the association to serve those members who manufactured shingles. Our influence grew, and as we survived both the Great Depression and World War II, manufacturers continued their quality commitment. In 1963 the organization merged with the Handsplit Shake Bureau to become the Red Cedar Shingle & Handsplit Shake Bureau.

Manufacturers' product lines continued to broaden and, in 1988, the members changed the organization's name to the Cedar Shake & Shingle Bureau. In the late 1980s, mill quality control inspections were subcontracted to independent, third party quality control agencies.

Each year the Cedar Shake & Shingle Bureau's staff answer thousands of technical questions and product selection queries. The responsibility for educating the public and building code officials falls on the CSSB. Owing to knowledgeable staff, the Cedar Shake & Shingle Bureau has earned the distinction as the recognized industry authority.
