Brava synthetic cedar, slate, and tile systems are engineered to outlast natural materials.
Unlike real cedar that splits, slate that cracks, or clay tile that chips, Brava tiles don't rot, warp, fade, or lose structural integrity over time.
The 50-year limited warranty is backed by the manufacturer - and honored through Conrad Roofing as a Brava Preferred Contractor.
Natural cedar requires treatment every few years to prevent rot and insect damage.
Natural slate is brittle and heavy - it requires structural reinforcement and careful handling.
Clay tile expands and contracts with Chicago winters, leading to cracks and slippage.
Brava systems replicate the look of each material precisely while eliminating the maintenance cycles that make natural materials expensive to own.
A premium roofing system is one of the few home improvements that increases property value and reduces the time a home spends on the market.
Cedar shake, slate, and tile roofs are consistent differentiators in Chicago's premium neighborhoods.
With a 50-year material warranty transferable to new owners, it's an asset that works for you whether you stay or sell.
Brava tiles are built to withstand harsh weather, including hail, wind, and UV rays. With a 50-year limited warranty, they offer peace of mind for decades.
Made from recycled and fully recyclable materials, Brava products reduce environmental impact while offering the look of natural materials without deforestation or quarrying.
Unlike wood, clay, or slate, Brava tiles don't rot, crack, or fade. That means fewer repairs, lower upkeep costs, and lasting curb appeal.

The most common question we get from homeowners considering cedar, slate, or tile: 'Is synthetic the same thing?'
The honest answer: in most ways that matter to you as a homeowner, it's better.
If what you want is the look of premium materials, the durability of a modern engineered system, and a warranty that outlasts your mortgage - synthetic is not a compromise. It's the right choice.
We inspect your current roof and assess the structure, slope, and condition. You'll know exactly what you're working with before any decision is made.
Based on your home's architecture, your preferences, and your budget, we recommend the system that fits best and give you a written estimate with clear pricing. Cedar, slate, or tile - we'll show you samples and walk you through the options.
Every Brava system is installed by our own certified crew. As a Brava Preferred Contractor, our installation meets the standards required to activate the full 50-year manufacturer warranty. A non-preferred installer cannot issue the same warranty on the same materials.
Fewer than 2% of U.S. roofing contractors qualify for GAF Master Elite certification. It reflects the installation standard required for premium materials - and ensures your manufacturer warranty is fully honored.
An A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau reflects transparency and craftsmanship standards - the assurance you want before investing in a premium cedar, slate, or tile roof.
As an authorized Brava Preferred Contractor, our installations activate the full 50-year material warranty. The same Brava products installed by a non-preferred contractor carry reduced coverage.
