Composite slate looks just like real slate but isn't as fragile, heavy, or require as much maintenance.

A composite slate roof can last 50+ years with almost no upkeep, no repairing broken pieces, no regular cleanings, & no worries about cracking during harsh winters.

Regular shingles tend to only last 15 to 20 years so you might replace them twice while composite slate continues on strong.

Yes, it costs more than basic shingles up front. But it's much cheaper than real slate and you won't need the extra support beams that natural slate requires.

So for homeowners who want to put on the last roof they'll ever think about, composite is the right choice.

Quality composite slate like DaVinci is built to keep its color for decades. The colors go all the way through each tile and aren't just painted on top like cheap materials.

Also DaVinci uses special UV protection that blocks the sun's rays and keeps your roof color true even through Illinois's hot summers and harsh winters.

Regular asphalt shingles start fading within just a few years. You may even see them turn gray or lose their rich colors pretty quickly. Composite slate on the other hand is engineered to resist fading, chalking, and any color changes.

Most quality composite slate comes with a long warranty that actually covers color changes so you can trust that your beautiful roof will look great for many years to come.

Bottom line: While nothing lasts forever, composite slate holds its color far better than any other roofing option out there.
