1. How long does an Enviroshake roof last, and when will I need a roof replacement?

An Enviroshake roof is designed to last a lifetime, offering peace of mind with its superior durability and longevity.

With Enviroshake you can experience the peace of mind of having a roof that lasts a lifetime. Unlike with asphalt, you won’t have to worry about replacing your roof in the next, 10, 15, or 20 years. Cedar requires re-roofing approximately every 25 years [1]. Through our superior engineering, Enviroshake may even outlast you. Our fully transferable limited lifetime warranty provides 50 years of coverage for your roof [2].

2. Is an Enviroshake roof truly maintenance-free?

Yes, Enviroshake products are virtually maintenance-free, eliminating the need for costly and time-consuming upkeep associated with natural roofing materials.

Enviroshake is a one-time investment. Our products are virtually maintenance free, while natural cedar shakes require pretreatments in order to maximize the aesthetic, and longevity of the shingles. Cedar requires topical maintenance approximately every 5 years which cost approximately $3400 on a 4000 sq. ft. home. Ditch the expensive maintenance costs with a worry-free Enviroshake roof.

3. Discounted insurance premiums

Insurance companies like State Farm offer discounted insurance premiums to homes with Enviroshake on their roof [3]. This is often due to the product's superior wind uplift resistance and Class 4 impact rating. Our industry-leading performance, durability, and longevity, makes Enviroshake the safest choice for your home and saves you money in the long term.

4. Reduced heating and cooling bills

Enviroshake products can allow less heat transfer than do cedar or asphalt, which can reduce heating and cooling bills. Our tiles are rated independently by the Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC) [4]. Our Envirocool tiles can reduce cooling bills by up to 30%!

5.Enviroshake will give you a 80-90% ROI upon resale

Like any home improvement, an Enviroshake roof increases the resale value of your home. In fact, you can get an 80–90% return on your investment.

Highly distinguished and awarded realtor, Dan Cooper, states “Replacing an old/failing premium roof such as cedar or slate with an Enviroshake composite roof can not only enhance the curb appeal, but enhances the resale price because it provides the same premium aesthetic, without the maintenance and performance issues, and of course re-roofing. It should also be noted that replacing a natural cedar or slate roof with asphalt not only diminishes the aesthetics of a home but decreases its value as well.”
