Cherry Hills Village Hail-Proof Roofing Project. Installing a Brava Synthetic Shake Roof Built for Colorado

Colorado homeowners know that hail isn't a matter of if. It's a matter of when.

In Cherry Hills Village, we recently completed the installation of a premium Brava synthetic shake roof designed to withstand Colorado's harsh weather while providing the timeless appearance of natural cedar shake. This project replaced a traditional asphalt shingle roof that had reached the end of its service life and upgraded the home with one of the most durable roofing systems available today.

Why This Cherry Hills Village Homeowner Chose Brava Synthetic Shake

Many luxury homes throughout Cherry Hills Village feature cedar shake or high-end architectural roofing materials. While beautiful, traditional roofing materials often require replacement after significant hail storms.

Brava synthetic shake offers the appearance of real cedar without the maintenance or vulnerability to hail damage. It is engineered to resist impact, fading, moisture, insects, and rot while maintaining its appearance for decades.

For homeowners looking to invest in a long-term roofing solution, Brava is one of the best products available.

Designed to Stand Up to Colorado Hail

One of the biggest advantages of Brava synthetic shake is its exceptional impact resistance.

Brava products achieve a UL 2218 Class 4 Impact Rating, the highest residential hail resistance rating available. During UL testing, a 2-inch steel ball is dropped from approximately 20 feet to simulate severe hail impacts.

Unlike traditional asphalt shingles, Brava synthetic shake is engineered to absorb these impacts without cracking or losing its protective performance.

For many Colorado homeowners, this means dramatically reducing the likelihood of future hail-related roof replacements.

A Roofing System Is More Than Just Shingles

At Excel Roofing, we believe the roofing system underneath the shingles is just as important as the roof covering itself.

For this Cherry Hills Village project, we installed:

• Carlisle WIP 300HT high-temperature ice and water shield to protect vulnerable areas from water intrusion.
• SolarHide radiant barrier synthetic underlayment to help reflect heat away from the home and improve energy efficiency.
• Premium roofing accessories installed according to manufacturer specifications.
• Matching Brava hip and ridge components for maximum durability in the most hail-exposed areas of the roof.

Every component works together to create a complete roofing system designed for long-term performance.

The Benefits of Blended Brava Colors

This home features one of Brava's beautiful blended color options.

Blended colors provide natural variation throughout the roof, closely resembling authentic cedar shake. They also help disguise the subtle color changes that can naturally occur over decades of sun exposure, allowing the roof to maintain an attractive appearance for years to come.

The finished roof complements the architecture of this Cherry Hills Village home while providing significantly greater durability than traditional wood shake.

Expected Service Life

One of the biggest reasons homeowners choose Brava is longevity.

A properly installed Brava synthetic shake roof has an expected service life of approximately 50 years, making it one of the longest-lasting steep-slope roofing materials available.

Instead of replacing an asphalt roof every 15 to 25 years after repeated hail events, homeowners can invest once in a premium roofing system designed to protect their home for decades.
