Common Questions
Brava Roof Tile FAQs
How does Brava compare to real cedar shake or slate?
Brava outlasts both. Real cedar shake typically lasts 20–30 years and requires regular maintenance, staining, and individual shingle replacement. Natural slate can last longer but is extremely heavy, expensive, and fragile. Brava provides the same appearance as both materials with a 50-year warranty, zero maintenance, and significantly lower installed cost than natural slate.
Is Brava a good choice for Virginia's climate?
Brava is an excellent choice for Virginia. The Shenandoah Valley's climate — with summer hailstorms, freeze-thaw cycles, UV exposure, and occasional heavy snow — is exactly what Brava is engineered to handle. Its Class 4 impact rating protects against hail, and unlike clay tile or real slate, it won't crack from freeze-thaw cycles.
How much does Brava cost compared to asphalt shingles?
Brava costs more upfront than asphalt shingles — typically 2–3x the installed cost. However, when you factor in the 50-year warranty (vs. 25–30 years for premium asphalt), zero maintenance costs, potential insurance discounts for Class 4 impact rating, and the dramatic curb appeal improvement, many homeowners find Brava delivers better long-term value.
Can Brava be installed on my existing roof?
In most cases, yes. Brava's lightweight construction — significantly lighter than natural slate or clay tile — means it can often be installed over existing roofing materials without structural reinforcement. We'll assess your specific roof structure during your free inspection to confirm.
Does Brava qualify for insurance discounts?
Many homeowners insurance companies offer premium discounts for Class 4 impact-rated roofing materials. Brava's Class 4 rating may qualify your home for significant savings — in some cases enough to offset the cost difference vs. standard shingles over the life of the roof. We recommend checking with your insurance provider.
How long does Brava installation take in Staunton or Waynesboro?
A typical residential Brava installation takes 2–4 days depending on roof size and complexity. Our crew handles all tear-off, underlayment, and installation. We schedule most projects within 2–3 weeks of your free inspection.
