How do I know if my roof needs replacement or just repairs?

Our expert inspectors will assess the age, condition, and extent of damage to your roof. Generally, if your roof is over 20 years old or has widespread damage, replacement may be more cost-effective. We provide honest recommendations based on what's best for your home.

Absolutely! We have extensive experience working with insurance companies and will guide you through the entire claims process. From documentation to adjuster meetings, we ensure you receive fair compensation for storm damage repairs.

What roofing materials do you recommend?

We work with premium materials from trusted manufacturers. Our recommendations depend on your budget, aesthetic preferences, and the specific needs of your home. We'll walk you through all available options during your consultation.

How long does a typical roof replacement take?

Most residential roof replacements are completed within 1-3 days, depending on the size and complexity of the project. We work efficiently while maintaining the highest quality standards, and we always clean up thoroughly when the job is done.

Select Shake: The ADC Roofing Deep Dive

DaVinci Select Shake composite roofing offers the aesthetic of natural cedar shakes without the inherent vulnerabilities. This product is engineered using molds taken from actual wood profiles, resulting in a remarkably authentic appearance. Unlike traditional wood, Select Shake is impervious to rot, insects, and fungal growth, common issues that compromise the longevity and structural integrity of organic roofing materials. Durability is a cornerstone of DaVinci Select Shake. It is designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, including high winds and significant impact. The material's composition ensures it will not crack, splinter, or delaminate under thermal stress or physical force. Its resistance to fading maintains the roof's visual appeal over decades, eliminating the need for periodic staining or treatment often associated with cedar. ADC Roofing specifies Select Shake for discerning homeowners who desire a premium, maintenance-free roofing solution. The tiles are manufactured with precision, allowing for a consistent finish and straightforward installation. This translates to a quicker project timeline and a reliable, watertight seal. The product also contributes to energy efficiency, with cool roof color options available to mitigate heat absorption. Opting for DaVinci Select Shake represents a long-term investment in your property. Its superior performance characteristics and aesthetic fidelity ensure the roof will perform excellently and maintain its curb appeal for the lifespan of the structure. This product provides a practical and beautiful alternative to natural shake, delivering peace of mind through its robust construction and lasting quality.

Why Select Shake Fits DFW Roofs

The Class 4 Impact rating is critical for DFW's frequent hail storms, providing robust protection and potential insurance premium benefits. Its resistance to extreme heat prevents the warping and cracking seen in natural wood, making it suitable for our 100°F+ summers. HOA approval for these synthetic shakes is generally less cumbersome than with other materials due to their authentic appearance and proven durability.

How ADC Installs Select Shake

ADC's certified crews install Select Shake adhering strictly to DaVinci's specifications, ensuring proper simulated keyway alignment and secure fastening. Special attention is given to attic ventilation systems in conjunction with this product to manage the extreme DFW summer heat effectively. We utilize manufacturer-approved underlayment and flashing techniques to maximize the roof system's lifespan and warranty coverage.
