Speciality Roof Systems

What Are Synthetic Roofing Systems?

Synthetic roofing systems are engineered using advanced polymers and rubber compounds, designed to replicate the look and texture of natural materials such as slate, cedar shake, or clay tile. These roofs not only provide superior aesthetics but also bring enhanced durability, weather resistance, and fire protection.

Manufactured by industry leaders, our specialty roofing materials meet or exceed strict standards for:

• Impact resistance — Tested for hail and storm damage
• Fire protection — UL Class A fire rating for maximum safety
• Weather endurance — Resistant to fading, cracking, and warping

By choosing synthetic roofing, you get the timeless charm of classic materials without the typical upkeep.

Benefits of Specialty Roofing Systems

Synthetic roofs typically last 50 years or more, outlasting asphalt shingles and even natural wood shakes by decades.

Our specialty roofs withstand hailstorms, strong winds, and extreme weather without cracking or losing color.

Fire Safety
