Natural slate and cedar shake are gorgeous – but slate cracks under foot traffic and costs three times more to install, while real cedar fades, splits, and requires annual treatments to prevent moss and rot. DaVinci synthetic roofing gives you the exact same high-end appearance with none of the drawbacks. Every tile is molded from virgin-grade engineering polymers, reinforced with UV-stabilizers, and backed by a 50-year limited warranty.
At Wichita Roofing Pros, we are one of the few local contractors certified to install DaVinci Masterpiece and Bellaforte lines. Each tile weighs less than 3 pounds per square foot – compared to 15+ pounds for natural slate – which means your roof structure doesn’t need costly reinforcement. The interlocking design and concealed fastening system resist wind uplift up to 110 mph, while the Class A fire rating and impact resistance meet the highest standards for Kansas residential construction.
Synthetic slate and shake are ideal for Wichita homeowners who want a distinctive, premium look and intend to stay in their home for 20+ years. The upfront investment is higher than asphalt shingles, but the lifespan and zero-maintenance nature often make it the most cost-effective choice over a full ownership period.
All existing roofing materials removed, decking inspected and repaired, and a smooth substrate prepared for synthetic tile installation.
Tiles are laid in a staggered pattern with manufacturer-specified gaps. Each course interlocks with the course below – no exposed fasteners.
Stainless steel ringshank nails are driven through designated nailing fins – completely hidden once the next tile course is installed, eliminating exposed fastener failure points.
DaVinci's 50-year limited warranty covers material defects, fading, and cracking – and we back it with our Lifetime Workmanship Warranty on the installation.
Multi-width, multi-length slate tiles in 27 standard colors – replicates the random-width look of natural Vermont slate with true-to-life texture and color veining.
Hand-split cedar shake replication with micro-grain texture and subtle color variation – available in 9 shake-specific color blends from Weathered Gray to Amberwood.
Lighter-weight slate profile with 5″ exposure and consistent width – lower material cost while retaining the 50-year warranty and Class 4 impact rating.
Matching synthetic ridge caps, hip tiles, and valley flashings designed specifically for the DaVinci system – no mixing with generic metal or asphalt components.
We verify your trusses and decking can support the weight (synthetic is light, but still requires sound decking). Tiles are ordered with 5% overage for complex cuts.
Old roofing stripped, decking repaired, and a high-temperature underlayment installed – DaVinci requires a smooth, clean surface for proper interlock.
Tiles are cut with a carbide-blade saw and installed from eave to ridge. Each tile interlocks and is fastened through nailing fins – no exposed nails anywhere.
We walk the roof to check for alignment, cut quality, and fastener depth. DaVinci warranty is registered online in your name before the crew leaves.
