Farewell Hail and Fire Worries

Time and weather had taken their toll on George and Christine Rossie’s real cedar shake roof. After 25 years and several hail storms, they decided to replace it in 2015.

“I think Colorado is the hail capital of the country,” says Dr. George Rossie. “The roof was ready to be replaced after some significant hail damage in 2014 … and we were ready for a worry-free change.

“We’re very happy with the quality of this composite shake product, and especially glad to move from a high fire-risk real wood shake roof to one that is both fire- and hail-resistant. As another advantage, once the new DaVinci roof was installed we switched insurance companies and got a significant discount in our homeowner rates for having this new, highly-rated roof.”

The team at Advanced Exteriors recommended an impact- and fire-resistant Bellaforté Shake roof in an Autumn Blend from DaVinci Roofscapes to provide the Rossies with peace-of-mind.

The couple’s 1930s Tudor-style Denver home has multiple levels, additions and slopes. Some areas are extremely steep while other parts are flat. “Advanced Exteriors handled our roof challenges extremely well,” says Rossie. “We love the way this roof turned out. We’ve received lots of compliments from neighbors and friends and we’d have no problem recommending this synthetic shake roof or Advanced Exteriors to anyone!”
