As a roofing company who has been in the industry for years, we’ve been able to see how roofing technology has changed and improved over time. This has led to the creation of newer roofing materials, specifically synthetic, or composite, shingles. DaVinci Roofscapes is one of the leading synthetic roofing manufacturers on the market, and we’ve had many happy customers choose DaVinci shingles for their roof replacement.

DaVinci Shingles are Eco-Friendly

One of the benefits of DaVinci shingles is that they’re an eco-friendly roofing material. They are made out of engineered polymer, combined with fire retardant and advanced UV and thermal stabilizers, so they are durable in all climates year-round. DaVinci shingles use only virgin resin, as well, in order to ensure consistency.
And even though DaVinci shingles aren’t made of recycled materials, they are 100% recyclable. All components of DaVinci roofing materials, including scraps and used or unused shingles, can be returned for recycling. So, if you’re looking for one of the most eco-friendly roofing materials, you can’t go wrong with DaVinci shingles.
Curb Appeal

When it comes to a roof replacement, many homeowners have curb appeal on the forefront. A new roof is a large investment, so you want to be sure you’re left with something you’re proud of and enjoy looking at. Luckily, DaVinci shingles are known for their gorgeous good looks, adding curb appeal and value to any home.
This is because DaVinci shingles are created to imitate the look of a natural slate or cedar shake roof. And while an experienced roofer can tell the difference between composite and the real thing, we can almost guarantee that your neighbors won’t. DaVinci cedar shake shingles have grooves and grain patterns that look just like real cedar shake shingles. DaVinci slate shingles have chisel marks for an authentic, hand-crafted look.
Cost

Cost plays a huge role in the decision-making process for any homeowner in need of a roof replacement. So, it’s important to mention that DaVinci shingles are a premium roofing material, and will come with a heftier price tag. DaVinci roofing costs around $14.00-$20.00 per square foot, depending on your selection.
With that being said, the only way to get an exact price for a DaVinci roof is to have a contractor come out for a roof inspection. This is because every roof is different, and every homeowner has different wants and needs. Not only that, there are a lot of factors that go into the cost of a new roof, but the above pricing can give you a general idea as to how much you should budget.
We understand that this is expensive, but a DaVinci roof will always cost less than real cedar shake or slate roofing tiles. So, if you’re looking for affordability, DaVinci may not be the right roof for you. However, if you’ve been considering shake or slate roofing, then synthetic roofing should definitely be within budget.
Warranty Options
Warranties are in place to protect your new roof investment
When you purchase a DaVinci roof, you will have two types of warranties to fall back on should an issue arise. The first is your contractor’s workmanship warranty, and the second is from DaVinci Roofscapes on the roofing materials. The workmanship warranty will vary depending on the contractor you hire, but DaVinci Roofscapes offers a fantastic material warranty.
All of DaVinci’s shingles come with a Limited Lifetime Warranty, and a 10-year non-prorated warranty against manufacturer defects. The number of non-prorated years for the lifetime warranty may be different depending on the type of DaVinci shingle you choose. Either way, opting for DaVinci means you have great options when it comes to warranty protection.

Choosing DaVinci shingles for your roof replacement means choosing a roof that’s created to stand the test of time. DaVinci boasts a Class 4 impact rating on their shingles, which is the best rating a roofing material can have. This means that DaVinci shingles stand up well to debris, as well as extreme weather, such as hail.
With that being said, you should get around 40-50 years out of your new DaVinci roof. This makes DaVinci’s synthetic roofing systems one of the longest-lasting roofing materials on the market today. As long as it was installed properly, and your roof has adequate attic ventilation, then your new DaVinci roof should reach its maximum lifespan.
