Why Choose DaVinci Synthetics?
The Premier Choice for Luxury and Longevity
DaVinci Roofscapes has set the gold standard in synthetic roofing. Their composite shake and slate products are engineered to deliver the look of natural materials with superior consistency, resilience, and warranty protection.
For homeowners across Chicagoland — from Lake Forest estates to Hinsdale custom builds — DaVinci is the go-to choice when you want timeless beauty without the weight, fragility, or maintenance of natural stone or wood.
The Advantage of Synthetic Roof
The Advantages of DaVinci Synthetic Roofing
Engineered for Long-Term Performance
DaVinci composite roofing is built to resist hail impact, fire, UV exposure, and temperature extremes. Unlike many traditional materials, it maintains its structural integrity and appearance over decades, making it an ideal roofing system for long-term peace of mind.
Refined Appearance with Consistent Quality
DaVinci is known for high-definition molds and carefully blended colors that produce a slate or shake look with excellent consistency. It delivers the upscale character homeowners want while avoiding the unpredictability that can come with natural materials.
Lightweight Alternative to Natural Slate or Shake
DaVinci provides a premium look without the heavy structural load of stone or tile. That makes it especially attractive for additions and remodels where weight limitations matter and homeowners still want a roof that looks “estate-level.”
Strong ROI for a Luxury Roof Replacement
With long expected service life and minimal maintenance, DaVinci often becomes a cost-effective luxury choice over time. It can also boost curb appeal dramatically—an important factor for resale value in high-end Chicagoland neighborhoods.
Tailored for Both Tradition and Modern Design
DaVinci’s versatility makes it an excellent fit for a wide range of luxury homes:
Historic-style estates in Lake Forest, Winnetka, and Glencoe, where slate aesthetics preserve timeless character.
Tudor and Colonial homes in Hinsdale and Oak Brook, where cedar shake profiles add warmth and depth.
Custom new builds in Barrington Hills and Long Grove, where homeowners want authentic beauty with modern performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a DaVinci roof cost?
DaVinci is a premium investment. While pricing is higher than asphalt or basic synthetics, it is generally less than natural slate and cedar over the long term. Exact cost depends on roof size, slope, and material profile.
How long does DaVinci roofing last?
DaVinci roofs are backed by a 50-year limited warranty. With proper installation, they deliver reliable performance for decades.
