Cedar Shake: New Cedar
This Jackson Hole residence features 81 squares of Brava Synthetic Shake in New Cedar, creating a warm, natural roof that stands out beautifully against the surrounding landscape. The lighter cedar tones pair especially well with the home’s stonework and darker metal roof accents, giving the entire property a balanced, high-end mountain look. With steep roof sections, intersecting rooflines, multiple transitions, and a mix of synthetic shake and metal details, this project showcases the versatility of Brava while highlighting the craftsmanship required for a clean, cohesive installation. The finished roof delivers the appearance of freshly installed cedar with the durability and longevity needed for Jackson Hole’s demanding climate.

The combination of complex roof geometry, detailed craftsmanship, and custom metalwork creates a striking finished roof that is equally impressive from the ground and from above.

I'm not sure if I submitted this one already but I don't think I did. We removed old wood shakes, and installed Brava slate single width. Home owner was very picky and recieved 9 or 10 bids. We did a huge brava shake around the corner earlier in the year and like the brava shingles and the work we did.
Slate: Atlantic
This Mansfield homeowner had been through the North Texas cycle — hailstorm, insurance claim, asphalt replacement, repeat. After the latest round of hail damage they were done paying for the same roof twice. We walked them through the Brava lineup with physical samples on site; Old World Slate in Atlantic won on Class 4 impact resistance, the dimensional look of quarried slate without the structural weight, and the 50-year transferable warranty. Full tear-off, deck inspection, and installation to Brava's factory fastening schedule. Because the tiles shipped from multiple production batches, the finished roof carries natural color variation across every plane — and the copper gutters were chosen to complete it: a lifetime drainage system that patinas alongside a lifetime roof, on a home where every exterior detail was upgraded to match the roof's caliber.

Cedar Shake : Aspen
Give Kids The World was suffering from an aging and failing artificial shake roof on their flagship buildings, The Castle of Miracles. This project was critical as it was both the first building majority of the families see when entering the village as well as the building that hosts all the stars from the wishes granted over the years. They had reached out for us to bid on the project but seeing how great an organization they were and the impact they had on those children suffering terminal illnesses, we worked with our partners to fully donate the roof. Brava Roof tile donated their multiwidth composite Shake in the Aspen color, Drexel supplied all the metals and flashings, and FLS Roofing Supply provided all dry in and accessory materials which were combined with FL Specialty Roofing's labor and project management to deliver a brand new composite shake roof to the building at no cost. The project itself was very unique given the mushroom on the front, castle and faux wood type architecture that needed to be integrated with flashing, and it required full safety and supervision as the park stayed open so safety needed to be ensured as children and families were present.
Cedar Shake: Natural Cedar
Three separate buildings finished with the same cohesive Brava Natural Cedar synthetic shake, creating a unified, authentic cedar look across the property with the durability, color consistency, and low maintenance of a premium composite roof. For a first time homeowner, they couldn't have been happier with the brava look. It gave them the timeless character of a cedar shake roof with the peace of mind that it will look just as good years from now.

This project came as a result of the aftermath of Hurrricane Helene. My company had installed the original Slate Select Roof in 2006 which was failing and had taken damages. I worked with the owners and their insurer to resolve the claim and went through the color selection process with the assistance of Brava and ordered the material through QXO. Brava shipped the blend as promised of 75% Altantic and 25% Arendale. The owners are incredibly pleased and have given me a referral to our next job.
Cedar Shake: Aspen
Home originally had wood shake. The homeowner had the home custom built and wood shake was what she always wanted. They had hail damage and had to replace the roof. She was so impressed with how realistic Brava shake looks she decided to replace the roof with the Brava material. She was nervous but after the project was completed she said she loves it even more than the original wood shake roof.
Slate: Light Arendale
This 57-square Light Arendale Multi-Width Slate roof uses multiple BRAVA hip and ridge profiles across steep gables, dormers, and low-slope transitions. Approximately 190 linear feet of copper valleys, copper flashing, half-round gutters, and round downspouts create a precise slate-and-
copper system on a highly articulated Hinsdale home.

Spanish Barrel Tile: Aged Mission
This home had a concrete tile roof that the homeowner was tired of maintaining - particularly since it sat on a golf course and could be struck by wayward golf balls! We removed the tile of this 130 square foot house and reinstalled Brava's Spanish Barrel Tile in Aged Mission. To state that it turned out beautifully would be an understatement! The homeowner was so excited with the outcome - and who wouldn't be?
Spanish Barrel Tile: Aged Mission
When storm damage left all three structures on this Texas Hill Country property in need of new roofs, the goal was a restoration that fit the region's old-world Spanish character and would stand up to Hill Country weather. Precision Construction & Roofing installed 187 squares of Brava Spanish Tile in Aged Mission across the property. The blend gives every roof the same naturally weathered, time-worn look suited to its setting.
Roofing three structures as one project meant keeping tile layout, color blend and finish details consistent from building to building, so the property reads as a single, unified design rather than three separate roofs. As a Brava Master Craftsman Contractor, Precision installed the system under Brava's Endurance Warranty, which is available only through Craftsman-level contractors.
The result is a property with the authentic look of aged Spanish tile, backed by Brava's performance and the detail work that defines a Precision roof. Matthew Melrose and Dennis Williams sold the project and managed it from start to finish. Installation was completed by Oscar Alvarenga and his crew, and the gutter work was completed by Jay Willis.

Ramon Roofing was selected to re-roof Trinity Episcopal Church in Fort Worth, Texas. This historic project involved the complete removal and salvage of the existing Vermont slate, followed by the installation of a new high-performance roofing system designed to provide long-term protection while maintaining the architectural character of the church.
The project included the installation of new Polyglass MTS ice and water shield, along with custom-fabricated copper valleys, edging, step flashing, and counter flashing. All copper components were fabricated and installed specifically for the project to provide both durability and a finished appearance appropriate for the church’s architecture.
Ramon Roofing installed approximately 142 squares of Brava Slate. One of the most distinctive aspects of the project was the development of a custom color blend to achieve the desired appearance. Our team carefully blended four Brava Slate colors in the following proportions:
25% Atlantic
20% Washington
25% Graphite
30% European
Creating and installing this custom blend required careful planning and attention to detail to achieve a balanced, natural-looking roof across the large expanse of the church.
The project demonstrates Ramon Roofing’s experience with complex slate roofing systems and our ability to develop customized roofing solutions that combine performance, craftsmanship, and architectural aesthetics.

Cedar Shake: Aged Cedar
Tucked away in a remote, wooded area outside Pell City, AL, this geodesic dome home was one of the most unusual roofs our team has ever taken on. The homeowner replaced orginal roof with Brava Cedar Shake in Aged Cedar. That meant fitting shake across dozens of triangular panels, each meeting at a different angle, with no two runs quite the same.
Every hip line was cut by hand to follow the dome's faceted geometry, and each of the hexagonal skylights was individually flashed and sealed. On a dome, those skylights are usually the first point of failure.
The remote location added its own challenges for our crew with coordination and making sure we were able to install this correctly before it got cold. The finished roof keeps the dome's one-of-a-kind character while giving the homeowner a lifetime, low-maintenance roof that no longer has to be patched and nursed along.

Preserving the Character of a Vancouver Landmark Neighborhood
For Stonnex Roofing, this project was about much more than replacing a roof. It was about respecting the architectural character of one of Vancouver’s most historically significant residential neighbourhoods while introducing a roofing system designed for the future.
Located in Shaughnessy, Vancouver, the home sits within a neighborhood whose identity has been shaped by grand estate properties, mature landscaping and traditional architecture for more than a century. Shaughnessy was originally developed by the Canadian Pacific Railway beginning in 1907 as an exclusive residential community, and many of its early homes were designed by some of British Columbia’s most prominent architects. The neighborhood remains closely associated with architectural styles such as English Arts and Crafts, Tudor Revival, Craftsman and Colonial Revival.
The roof is particularly important to that architectural identity. The City of Vancouver's heritage guidelines specifically recognize prominent roof forms, including steep pitches, hips, gables, dormers, chimneys and eaves, as integral elements of Shaughnessy's heritage character.
That made material selection especially important on this project.Wood and cedar have historically played an important role in Vancouver's early residential architecture. Heritage Vancouver notes the use of regional and authentic wood materials throughout Shaughnessy's early homes, reflecting both the craftsmanship of the period and a West Coast architectural response to Vancouver's wet climate.
Our objective was therefore not to change the character of this home, but to preserve it. Brava composite roofing provided an opportunity to maintain the depth, texture and traditional appearance associated with a cedar-style roof while introducing a modern roofing material. On a home with this level of architectural complexity, that distinction mattered.
The roof features an intricate collection of steep slopes, intersecting hips, valleys, dormers and smaller roof sections surrounding several prominent chimneys. Rather than being secondary to the architecture, the roof is one of the home's defining visual elements. Every transition and detail needed to feel intentional and consistent with the scale and character of the property.
The installation required careful planning and craftsmanship to carry the Brava system across these numerous roof planes while maintaining clean lines and a cohesive appearance from every elevation.
The completed roof feels as though it belongs on the home.From the street, the material complements the stucco exterior, traditional windows, shutters, chimneys and mature landscaping. From above, the complexity of the roof becomes even more apparent, with the Brava product creating a consistent finish across an unusually detailed roofscape.
For us, that is what made this project worthy of consideration for a Brava Excellence Award. It demonstrates how a modern roofing system can be used not simply to replace an aging material, but to help carry an architectural tradition forward. In a neighborhood where craftsmanship, materials and roof design have helped define the streetscape for generations, Brava allowed us to respect the past without being limited by it.
The result is a roof that preserves the character expected of a Shaughnessy estate while providing a solution designed for the decades ahead.

The expansive roof system includes multiple steep pitches, intersecting gables, hips, valleys, and covered outdoor areas, making the installation especially detailed. Dark standing-seam metal accents were incorporated on select roof sections to complement the Arendale slate and the home’s stone exterior. The finished roof adds strong dimension to the architecture while maintaining a clean, cohesive look throughout the property.
