After 25 years, Wisconsin homeowner Mike Huszar knew it was time to replace his old cedar shake shingles. Some of the ridges had blown off and his insurance company was grumbling about covering the real cedar shakes.
“We wanted a simulated product with a fire rating and warranty to help with our ability to maintain full insurance coverage,” says Huszar. “That’s really hard to do with wood shakes. We believed a synthetic product might also help reduce insurance costs.”
Enter Alex Walsh with DuraShield Roofing & Contracting. Our company has installed DaVinci Roofscapes composite shake and slate roofing since 2015. Class A fire and Class 4 impact rated, the synthetic roofing is backed by a Lifetime Limited Material Warranty. This leads us to install up to 15 DaVinci roofs each year throughout Wisconsin and Illinois.

“The DaVinci DaVinci Multi-Width Shake in the Aged Cedar color brings the look of the roof back to what it was when our original cedar shake roof was brand new,” says Huszar. “We’re extremely pleased with the appearance and the ability of this composite roof to meet our insurance company needs.
“The DuraShield Roofing & Contracting team was very professional. I’d rate them a 10 out of 10. They did what they said they would do with the crew working hard and staying on task. The company’s leaders were on site constantly making sure the site was clean and that our neighbors were not impacted by the project.”
