This premium roofing project in Glencoe, IL, focused on replacing the home’s aging shingle roof with a beautiful and long-lasting Brava Synthetic Cedar Shake tile system.
Frank, the homeowner, wanted a roofing solution that not only elevated the curb appeal of his home but also offered outstanding durability, low maintenance, and resistance to the Midwest’s varying climate conditions. Green Attic Roofing delivered a high-performance upgrade with stunning visual results.
The original asphalt shingles had provided dependable protection over the years. With some minor curling, fading, and granule loss starting to appear, it was the ideal moment to upgrade to a more resilient and visually appealing solution.
The homeowner was eager to elevate the exterior appearance of the home with a roofing material that offered both premium aesthetics and lasting performance, without sacrificing efficiency.
In Glencoe's variable climate, with cold winters, rain, and intense sunlight, the new roof needed to offer year-round reliability and minimal maintenance, ensuring long-term protection and peace of mind.
Our team performed a safe and thorough tear-off of the existing asphalt shingles, preparing the roof deck for new underlayment and premium composite installation.
Brava’s high-performance synthetic shake tiles were installed across the entire roofing system. These Class 4 impact-rated, Class A fire-rated, and fade-resistant tiles provide the rustic look of natural cedar without the downsides. Multiple widths and authentic textures helped achieve a natural, handcrafted appearance.
We installed a high-quality synthetic underlayment and ice & water shield along eaves and valleys for added moisture defense and longevity.
All flashing and vents were upgraded to match the new system, ensuring a watertight seal and balanced attic airflow.
The home now features a rich, authentic cedar shake look that dramatically boosts its visual charm and neighborhood presence.
With Class A fire rating, impact resistance, and UV stability, the new roof is built to handle all seasons.
Unlike natural wood, Brava tiles resist cracking, rotting, and fading, ensuring peace of mind for years to come.
This investment improves both aesthetic and structural value, offering longevity with minimal upkeep.
This Brava Synthetic Shake Roof Replacement is a perfect example of how beauty and performance can come together in one roofing solution.
Frank now enjoys a timeless cedar-style look backed by advanced material engineering, all delivered by the skilled team at Green Attic Roofing.
