Brava Cedar Shake
Brava Cedar Shake is designed for homes where the roof is part of the architecture: coastal capes, cottages, shingle-style homes, and traditional residences that need more depth than asphalt can provide.
Color and texture vary across the tiles instead of repeating as a flat printed pattern. We bring physical samples so you can judge that variation beside your siding, trim, and stonework before making a selection.

Three widths and varied tile thicknesses create uneven edges and convincing shadow lines. Straight courses read cleaner and more formal; a staggered application creates the irregular rhythm of hand-split cedar.
We map the width mix before installation so joints do not stack and the field stays balanced across dormers, valleys, and roof transitions.
Brava's mineral-infused color runs throughout the tile, with multiple tones blended across a roof. The best selection responds to the home's siding, trim, masonry, and surrounding landscape rather than treating the roof as a single flat color.
Unlike wood, the composite tile does not absorb water, rot, split, or invite insects. Its Class 4 impact rating is useful in hail and wind-driven debris, while a properly designed ice-and-water and ventilation assembly handles Maine's freeze-thaw conditions below the tile.
We begin with a full deck inspection, build the water-management layer, then install the specified starter, exposure, fastener pattern, hips, and ridges. Brava offers an extended, transferable 50-year limited warranty; eligibility and registration details are confirmed at handoff.
