Roofing as an architectural element: make the most of it with Elevations

It used to be that roofing choices were pretty bland.  But today, new roofing materials are available that can transform your roof from an afterthought into a key architectural element, thanks to new technologies that make it much easier to emulate the look and feel of real cedar shake or clay for a fraction of the cost. These new materials are more durable, virtually maintenance-free, and are backed with Elevations' 10-year installation warranty as well as each manufacturer's guarantee. You'll have a roof that not only adds beauty and curb appeal, but one that will last for decades.

 

Choose the style, material and color that best suits your home

An Elevations Exterior Renovation Specialist will help you match your new roof to your home's exterior, maximizing added value and curb appeal. With the incredible variety of styles, materials and colors to choose from at Elevations, you'll end up with a roof that does far more than fill a need. You will have made a significant improvement to the look of your home.

 

Asphalt Shingles

We offer a wide range of high-quality, architectural-grade shingles, including standard size 3-tab fiberglass as well as premier quality laminated asphalt shingles in a variety of styles and cuts. A full spectrum of colors are available to suit your home style and personal tastes.

 

Composite Shake

This unique new option offers the organic look of cedar shake - down to the wood grain and shade variations - but with much greater durability, fire resistance and longevity. Choose from a variety of different colors and widths to fit the distinct style of your home.

 

Composite Slate

An affordable alternative to real slate, our unique composite slate shingles are visually indistinguishable from the "real thing," but much easier to apply, far more resistant to roof traffic damage, and incredibly long-lasting. A wide range of styles, widths and colors are available.

 

Handcrafted Slates and Tiles

For the ultimate in beauty and traditional character, nothing compares to premium-grade, handmade slates and tiles. Available in a variety of historic styles - including custom brushed, Cotswold stone and English shingle - these precision-crafted tiles are virtually impervious to weather extremes and are backed by a limited lifetime warranty on materials.

 

Standing Seam Metal

Standing seam roofing is a popular choice for everything from historic renovations to ultra-contemporary home designs, and for good reason. Offered in traditional copper, galvanized steel and aluminum, standing seam roofs feature extreme durability and exceptional weather resistance as well as a truly unique appearance that greatly enhances curb appeal.

 

Cupolas, Dormers and Decorative Accents

Whatever type of new roof you choose, consider adding such decorative touches as a copper or wood cupola, window dormers, gable vent or weather vane. Such extra touches can provide the perfect accent to any home's architecture, which is why we use them frequently in our CurbEppeal Makeovers. Ask your Exterior Renovation Specialist for advice about these and other decorative accents from Elevations

 

Exclusive WeatherEzation™ installation

Protecting the top of your home is crucial to keeping your home free from external elements and to controlling air and moisture throughout the building envelope. That's why at Elevations, the most critical stages of every roofing installation take place before the first shingle is laid.

 

In accordance with our WeatherEzation standards, we apply E-Shield™, our proprietary roofing underlayment solution that provides greatly enhanced protection for your home, and peace of mind for you. It is also our policy to replace all flashings, felt and vents with new, properly installed products, and install ice and water shields along gutter edges and in all valleys and other critical areas. And for maximum protection, we strongly recommend that you consider updating your soffit, fascia, gutters and downspouts at the same time. These timely changes can save you costly problems down the road.
