Spring Storms – DaVinci Roofscapes Advises to "Get Your Roof Ready"

Lenexa, Kansas (PRWEB) April 08, 2014

With the onset of spring storms in Mississippi and North Carolina, homeowners across the country are preparing for potentially devastating weather that can come with high winds and hail. Polymer shake and slate roofing tiles from DaVinci Roofscapes can help protect homes from such severe weather.

In 2013 many homeowners - especially those in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska --- became storm-weary as 943 tornadoes were reported throughout the United States. Some of those residents, like Julie McSweeney of Omaha, Neb., were fortunate that only flying debris from high winds and hail damaged their homes. However those weather conditions were enough to require McSweeney to require a new roof.

Homeowner Reflections

"After terrible hail storms devastated hundreds of homes in our area last year we began seeing many impact-resistant DaVinci Roofscapes polymer roofs installed," says McSweeney. "We wanted a worry-free, beautiful, best-in-class roof that could withstand future storms and we got it with our new Bellafort Slate roof."

One of the most popular product lines available from DaVinci Roofscapes, Bellafort polymer roofing tiles include a leading edge tab and a self-aligning ledge, helping to reduce the installation time for the products. A square of Bellafort tiles (with 100 pieces per square) weighs just 190 pounds. This lower tile weight also reduces the total installed cost by lowering the transportation costs.

All DaVinci tiles resist curling, cracking, fading, mold, algae, fungus and insects, making them ideal for installation in a wide variety of geographic areas. They also resist impact from flying debris and hail associated with storms. Just as with other DaVinci products, the Bellafort tiles are 100 percent recyclable and come with a 50-year limited warranty.

Insights from a Professional

One Omaha roofing company spending 16 hours a day, 7 days a week re-roofing homes in the Omaha area last year was Weatherguard, Inc. After hail storms careened through the city and that left craters in roofs the size of tennis balls, the company installed more than 100 DaVinci roofs in 2013.

"Storm damage was so severe in 2013 that it stripped some roofs of their tiles and broke shingles right off other roofs," says Trent Lovewell, vice president of operations for Weatherguard, Inc. "Our sixty employees were constantly busy installing the Bellafort slate and shake polymer tiles to replace damaged roofs. This is our preferred composite roofing product because it's impact-resistant, has a strong warranty and offers a great cost value to the homeowner."
