DaVinci roofing is a composite tile, a synthetic roofing product engineered to copy natural slate and cedar shake. DaVinci molds its tiles from actual slate and hand-split cedar, so the surface carries the grain, the thickness variation, and the color depth of the natural materials instead of the flat, repeating look of asphalt shingles. The tile itself is made mostly from pure virgin resin, with UV stabilizers and fire retardant blended in, which is what lets the roofing materials hold their color and resist sun damage for decades. The result is a composite slate or composite shake that gives a home the authentic look of stone or wood with far less of the maintenance those traditional materials demand.
Natural slate and cedar are beautiful, but both ask a lot of a home. Natural slate is heavy enough that many houses need structural reinforcement to carry it, and a slate roof is one of the most expensive roofs a homeowner can buy. Cedar shake looks warm and traditional, but it rots, curls, and burns, and it needs regular upkeep to reach its full life. DaVinci roofing answers both problems. A DaVinci roof weighs a fraction of what a natural slate roof weighs, so most homes take it without added framing, and the composite tile does not rot, split, or feed a fire the way wood does. For a discerning homeowner who wants the aesthetic appeal of slate or cedar shake on a roof that stands up to harsh weather conditions, it is a strong alternative to the natural version, because it holds the look while removing most of the maintenance and most of the weight.
Composite slate copies the look of quarried stone in a lighter, tougher tile. The line comes in Single-Width Slate, where every tile is the same width for a clean, uniform field, Multi-Width Slate, where the widths vary the way a natural slate roof does, and Bellaforté Slate, a lighter interlocking version built for a faster installation process. All three carry the depth and color of natural stone, and they suit the kind of homes our slate roofing crews already work on across Buckhead and Sandy Springs.
Composite shake copies hand-split cedar without the wood. It comes in Single-Width Shake, Multi-Width Shake, and Bellaforté Shake, each molded from hand-split cedar so the surface keeps the rough, irregular texture of a wood roof. For homeowners who like the look of a cedar roof but not the rot, the curl, and the fire risk, DaVinci shake gives the same character with the durability of a composite, and it fits the same homes our cedar shake roofing crews maintain and replace around metro Atlanta.
The material is the point of DaVinci, so the performance ratings carry weight. DaVinci rates its composite tile at:
Those ratings are why the material holds up in extreme weather where a lesser synthetic tile or an asphalt roof would not, and they are part of what an insurance company looks at when it prices coverage on an impact-rated roof. The tile also reflects heat instead of soaking it in, which can help the energy efficiency of the home underneath.
Mr. Roofer of Atlanta has spent more than 32 years on premium and specialty roofs across Atlanta, including the natural slate and cedar roofs DaVinci is built to imitate, so your roof is handled by a crew that already knows how these materials behave.

A DaVinci roof costs more than an asphalt roof but usually less than the natural slate or cedar it imitates, since the composite tile weighs less and installs without the structural reinforcement a stone roof needs. The final price depends on the size and pitch of the roof, the line and color you choose, and the detail work the install takes, so the only accurate number comes from an inspection.

DaVinci roofing is made mostly from pure virgin resin, with UV stabilizers and fire retardant blended in. They mold its composite tile from natural slate and hand-split cedar, so the synthetic roofing product carries the look of those materials while resisting the sun, rot, and fire damage that wear down the natural version.
A DaVinci roof is built to last for decades, and it backs its composite tile with a limited lifetime warranty on the material. The virgin resins and UV stabilizers in the tile are what let it hold its color and shape far longer than wood or a standard asphalt roof, though the exact life depends on proper installation and the Georgia climate.
DaVinci is a strong alternative to natural slate and cedar because it holds much of their look while weighing far less and asking for far less upkeep. Natural slate lasts longer as a material and carries a certain prestige, but it fits more homes and budgets, since it does not need the structural reinforcement a slate roof does and does not rot or burn the way cedar can.
DaVinci roofing does not look like a flat synthetic tile, because each tile is molded from actual slate or hand-split cedar and comes in varied widths and color options. On a finished roof the composite slate or composite shake reads as natural stone or wood from the street, which is a large part of why discerning homeowners choose it.
DaVinci can go on most houses, because the composite tile weighs far less than natural slate and does not require the structural reinforcement a stone roof does. We still inspect the roof structure and the existing deck before any synthetic roof installation, so the new roof sits on a sound base.
The installer matters on a DaVinci roof as much as the tile does, because a synthetic roof only performs when it is installed to spec. Mr. Roofer assigns a project manager to every synthetic install and works from a detailed DaVinci checklist that controls the decking, the underlayment and ice and water shield, the custom copper and flashing, the ventilation, and the 3/8 inch keyway spacing that lets the tile expand and contract. We have installed more than 200 synthetic roofing systems, so the crew already knows how the material behaves on a roof.
