DaVinci Roofscapes roof: No, negative, not a one.
Theresa and I would be lying if we said anything other than the roof performs and looks as well as the day we finished installing it and has markedly improved our experience inside and outside our home.
Performance-wise, our
DaVinci slate tiles look new. Nary a tile has curled, warped, deformed, come loose—nothing. The color is dead-on-money the same as it was a year ago. I can’t say that about every synthetic slate roof I’ve seen either. Boom: once and done.
The roof’s color scheme (Theresa selected DaVinci’s European blend) and shadow lines…well…let me think for a second. I was going to use some design jargon here, but the deeper reality is simpler. It makes us happy.

The home originally had wooden shake shingles, which were covered up over the years with several layers of asphalt shingles. We wanted to use a historically-accurate product on the roof, but the extreme dry heat we experience, combined with lack of rainfall, makes wood shake roofing impractical and dangerous. We did what most homeowners do when searching for product options --- we turned to the Internet. After searching for faux slate shingles, we found that many companies produced these products, but our research showed that most of them warp over time. We discovered that only the slate tiles produced by
DaVinci Roofscapes are uniquely designed to resist warping, fading, curling and cracking. And, these polymer tiles are fire and impact resistant, so we never have to worry about how our intense Texas heat or hail storms will affect them. This new roof, with the patina green on the copper, complements the original historic look of the home and helps us more appropriately ‘fit’ in our historic neighborhood. The roofing tiles never look like plastic. Right from the start they looked very natural with their understated slate gray color. While we decided not to use a blend of different colors, we’re delighted to see that there is still a subtle and natural looking variation of color from one roof tile to another. This so accurately resembles real slate that we’re completely delighted with its beauty. Now we’re the envy of the neighborhood and our roof is ready for any weather we face in Texas!

We looked into many options when deciding to replace the asphalt shingle roof on our home. Our research brought us to the
DaVinci Roofscapes web site. The
Bellaforté roof that’s now on our house is absolutely beautiful --- it’s the icing on the cake for our 3,800-square foot ranch-style home. Because these tiles are fire resistant and can stand up to severe weather conditions, we’re able to save on our homeowners insurance. And, one of our neighbors was so impressed with the look and quality of the roof that they’ve scheduled to have Bellaforté tiles installed on their home this month.

The old 1800s photos of the roof design were faded and required a great deal of work to configure a new roof layout that would accurately reflect the original roof. The current roof structure of the historic building could not handle the weight of real slate, so we specified the lighter weight synthetic roofing slate tiles from
DaVinci Roofscapes. We were impressed by the authentic look of the
DaVinci products and their 50-year warranty. The availability of different shades of tiles made it possible to accurately duplicate the original design from the chapel’s roof. The result is a roof that everyone is exceptionally pleased with and a design that brings the original exterior look back to the chapel.

I heard about
DaVinci Roofscapes from one of the insurance adjustors that was working our job. He said that it was the only product that was untouched by our tennis ball sized hail. Once I looked at the website and saw that you had a
product that mimicked the 80 yr old tile that was on the house I was sold. The more I investigated I found that your material was what I needed for this job. I wanted something that would stand up to another monster hail storm as my wife never wanted to go through this again. We liked the blend of
colors we chose as it went well with our English Tudor style home. The crew from CMR made the experience even better. I should say that I have been in the construction business for over 30 years and know the difference between a good job and a mediocre one. As I was doing a small addition on the house as they roofed it, I got to see them every day. Their attention to detail was impressive. I still like coming home to see the difference the roof made to the appearance to our home.

Our goal was to create a new family home that demonstrated our dedication and commitment to the advancement of smart, sustainable design and our belief that good design is inherently sustainable. The careful selection of building materials and systems became paramount to achieving the highest level of energy efficiency possible. The demands on the roofing material not only had to complement the architectural style of our house and contribute to the energy efficiency goals, but also had to meet a Class-A fire-resistive rating. Our Architecture firm, Demattei Wong Architecture, worked from the top down in determining the products to specify. They searched for a roofing product that would have a minimum lifespan of 50 years, feature tiles that could be recycled, and provide a strong, positive look to the house. The research led us to the
Bellaforté polymer roofing tiles from
DaVinci Roofscapes. There are many energy production and conservation aspects designed for this home, along with water harvesting systems ---- but it all really starts with the creation of an energy-efficient building envelope. We believe the Castle Gray
EcoBlend Bellaforté roofing tiles exemplify our dedication to the advancement of smart, sustainable architectural design.

I found
DaVinci Roofscapes online, then I spoke with Anthony Tangaro at Empire Building Materials in Bozeman. We selected
Bellaforté Slate by DaVinci Roofscapes (Verde blend) for cost, ease of installation, appearance and thermal issues. Overall, I loved the product.

We heard about
DaVinci Roofscapes from Andy Rock, owner of Rocky Mountain Roof Doctors in Colorado. He re-roofed our house with the
DaVinci Valoré Shake, Espresso Blend. We wanted something that looked similar in color and shape to the old wood shake that was previously on our roof. At the same time, we wanted it to be more durable than the old wood shake. The DaVinci Valoré Shake fit those two requirements for us. To help us get the best result, the DaVinci representative worked closely with our roofer. The DaVinci representative even came to our house with the roofer to ensure that we'd get the right color blend and the right amount of material on order. The whole process flowed seamlessly for us. I think we now have the best looking and most durable roof in the subdivision. The Davinci Valore Shake looks so much better than the ordinary shingles you see on most of the homes in the neighborhood!

I was introduced to
DaVinci Roofscapes by my roofer. He recommended your product and showed me your website. I selected
DaVinci's Bellaforté Slate in Slate Gray. The main consideration was durability (and lifespan): I have solar panels which I have to clean periodically, and I was tired of breaking my old concrete tiles. I also like the light weight - it more than makes up for the additional weight of my solar system (44 panels). Plus, my association does not allow asphalt shingles, so I needed something that looks like tiles. That also determined the color. My DaVinci experience was positive. My roofer did an awesome job, and the roof looks great!

Brett Hall of Joe Hall Roofing introduced us to
DaVinci Roofscapes Valoré Slate products. We selected this product for the durability and appearance. We were able to get this roof in a Light Gray custom blend, a dark roof is not suitable for Texas weather. We had a very good experience with our DaVinci Roof installation and so far, so good!
