Natural cedar shake is out, and composite roofs are in. At least that is what we at Smart Roofing have seen over the last few years. More and more homeowners are choosing Brava composite shake roofs when doing a cedar roof replacement over natural cedar shake, because Brava roofs offer a better life expectancy and a variety of looks. 

The latest addition to our portfolio of composite roofs installed in the Inverness, Barrington, and Palatine areas is Brava shake in the Lake Forest color. Mimicking aged cedar, this color compliments the home very well and adds a bit of sophistication. The color choice is one of main benefits of composite cedar, because the color you choose is the color you get for the entire lifespan of the roof. While natural cedar starts off with a golden hue, that quickly fades and keeps changing with time. Brava shakes are manufactured with specific colors that do not fade or change. The composite shake roof you have installed on day one will look the same on day 100 and on day 10,000. 

Another benefit of composite roofs is the long lifespan, while being environmentally friendly. Since Brava roofs are manufactured from recycled polymers that are fully sustainable, they offer great weather protection and durability. Polymers are not affected by changes in temperatures or moisture content, allowing composite roofs to last longer than most roofing options, especially in a climate as diverse as the Chicagoland area. A roof in Barrington might be covered with snow, while a roof in Winnetka might be getting soaked with a few inches or rain, and Brava shake roofs are able to withstand both without getting damaged and looking great. This synthetic shake Brava roof in Inverness will last a lifetime, while protecting the home of this happy client.
