Why Homeowners Are Investing in Premium Roofing Systems
Elevated Design Meets Long-Term Roofing Performance

Possessing properties ranging from curb appeal to weather performance to longevity, premium roofing like DaVinci® Roofscapes represents a return on investment that’s gaining the attention of roofing professionals and homeowners across the country.
Homeowners spending more of their resources up front are looking beyond basic weather protection. They’re seeing a new roof as an opportunity to complement and enhance the architectural style of the rest of their home. This is especially true in neighborhoods where residences stand out as statement pieces.
Appearance isn’t enough.
Homeowners evaluating roofing options are also weighing factors like durability, energy efficiency, potential insurance cost reductions and other long-term cost savings.
Advances in premium roofing materials like the kind that make up DaVinci Roofscapes are making both elevated design and lasting performance achievable.
“Not only when you drive up the street do you see the difference in the aesthetic and the quality of the roof…but it’s also going to raise the property value a lot. You’re going to get a roof that’s really going to last you a lifetime.”
Louie Echeverria, Final Touch Construction
Across a wide range of residential and commercial projects, premium roofing is increasingly being evaluated for its ability to combine the traditional look of slate tile and cedar shake, offer style selection that spans virtually every preference, and removes ongoing maintenance, repairs and replacement from the equation. It all contributes to a higher return on investment.
Focusing on aesthetics, manufacturers of roofing like DaVinci have invested heavily in creating roofing profiles with realistic textures, chiseled edges and patterns modeled after natural slate and hand-split shake. This type of roofing creates a natural, non-repeating presentation often strengthened with UV stabilizers that ensure a higher degree of color consistency, which is an additional contribution to home value over time.
Climate resilience and maintenance freedom contribute to ROI.
In many regions across the country, roofing systems and materials that can withstand a diversity of demanding climate conditions while virtually eliminating maintenance concerns are being sought out as alternatives to natural slate and shake, and as models of character and resilience.
Detailing the performance characteristics that contribute to a higher return on investment, Elliot Emann from Washington Roofing & Construction says, “I think this roof is going to have a great return on investment for homeowners due to the class 4 impact rating, class A fire rating and 110-mile-an-hour wind rating. Those are big key factors in helping reduce insurance costs.”
“What’s great about the DaVinci roof is that it’s got a lifetime limited warranty, so you know the roof is going to last a long time, there’s less maintenance than there will be with your typical slate roof, and those two things give it a great return on investment.”
Phil Chahinian, Preferred Exterior
Durability and reduced upkeep requirements over the long haul are among the many factors driving interest in premium roofing systems for both homeowners and roofing pros on a wide array of projects.
Contractors also point to warranty coverage and lifecycle costs as important considerations when comparing premium roofing materials to traditional slate options.
