Composite Roofing
Brava Composite Roofing for Minnetonka & Twin Cities Homes
Brava is a premium composite (synthetic) roofing system engineered to replicate the look of three classic roofing styles: hand-split cedar shake, natural slate, and Spanish barrel tile. It delivers that appearance without the weight, breakage, and upkeep of the natural materials. Each tile is molded from recycled polymer with color running all the way through, so the finish holds its character season after season instead of wearing off the surface.
We install, repair, and replace Brava roofing for homeowners in Minnetonka and across the Twin Cities metro. Whether you're building new, replacing an aging cedar shake roof, or upgrading from asphalt to a roof that matches the architecture of your home, our team handles the full project, from product and color selection through final installation.
Three Signature Styles
Brava Roofing Styles We Install
Brava manufactures three tile profiles. All three are lightweight enough to install on a standard roof structure with no special reinforcement required, and each is available in a wide range of color blends, including fully custom colors.
Cedar Shake
The look of authentic hand-split cedar shake, with varied widths, staggered thickness, and real split-wood texture, but none of the rot, insect damage, curling, or constant maintenance that natural wood demands through Minnesota's wet springs and freezing winters. If your existing cedar roof is nearing the end of its life, Brava Cedar Shake preserves the character of the home while ending the upkeep cycle.
Old World Slate
A thick-profile synthetic slate that captures the depth and shadow lines of quarried slate at a fraction of the weight. Natural slate is beautiful but extremely heavy; most homes need structural engineering just to carry it. Brava's Old World Slate delivers the same estate-quality appearance on a standard roof deck, with multi-width tile options for a genuine, varied slate look.
Spanish Barrel Tile
The warmth and curves of Mediterranean clay barrel tile in a composite that won't crack, chip, or break underfoot. Traditional clay tile is brittle, heavy, and poorly suited to freeze-thaw climates. Brava's barrel tile brings that Old World look to Minnesota homes where real clay simply wouldn't survive the winters.
Made for the Midwest
Built for Minnesota Weather
A roof in the Twin Cities has to handle conditions most of the country never sees in a single year: heavy snow loads, ice dams, repeated freeze-thaw cycles, summer hailstorms, high winds, and intense UV exposure off snow reflection. This is exactly the environment where composite roofing earns its cost.
Class 4 impact rating The highest hail-resistance rating in the roofing industry. Hail is one of the most common causes of roof damage in Minnesota, and Class 4 materials are built to take those impacts without cracking or bruising the way asphalt, wood, and clay can.
Freeze-thaw stability Brava's polymer tiles don't absorb water, so the repeated freeze-and-expand cycle that splits natural slate, clay, and aging wood shakes doesn't degrade them.
Wind resistance Engineered and third-party tested for high wind performance, well beyond what Minnesota storms typically deliver.
No rot, moss, or insects Unlike cedar, the composite material gives moss and pests nothing to take hold of, even on shaded north-facing slopes.
Snow-country practicality Lightweight tiles that install over a standard deck, so a snow-loaded roof isn't also carrying the dead weight of concrete or natural slate.
For homeowners around Lake Minnetonka and the west metro, where cedar shake and slate-style roofs are part of the neighborhood character, Brava offers a way to keep that architecture while ending the repair-and-replace cycle that natural materials demand in this climate.
Full-Service
Brava Roof Installation, Repair & Replacement
New Installation
For new construction and full re-roofs, we install complete Brava roofing systems: underlayment, flashing, ridge and hip details, and ventilation, following Brava's published installation specifications for cold-climate applications. Proper installation is what determines how a composite roof performs over the decades, and we treat details like ice-and-water protection, fastening schedules, and valley work as seriously as the tile itself.
Roof Replacement
Replacing an existing cedar shake, asphalt, or tile roof with Brava is one of the most common projects we see. Because Brava is lightweight, most homes can convert from asphalt or wood to a composite shake, slate, or barrel profile without structural modifications. A full tear-off, deck inspection, and new system installation is typically all it takes.
Repairs
If you already have a Brava roof, or another composite roof, that's taken storm damage or needs attention around flashings, valleys, or penetrations, we handle repairs as well. Composite tiles are durable, but the roof is still a system, and details like flashing and sealant age on every roof.
The Composite Advantage
Why Homeowners Choose Brava Over Natural Materials
Compared to the materials it replicates, Brava composite roofing offers a straightforward trade: a higher upfront cost than asphalt, in exchange for a dramatically longer service life and near-zero maintenance compared to wood, slate, or clay.
vs CedarNo treating, no rot, no splitting, no insect damage, and a Class A fire-rated option, where natural cedar requires treatment to reach fire-resistance standards.
vs SlateA fraction of the weight, no structural reinforcement, and no cracked tiles from foot traffic or ice.
vs ClayNo breakage during shipping and installation, and a material that actually tolerates freeze-thaw climates.
vs AsphaltA far longer expected service life and a genuine architectural upgrade in curb appeal and home value.
SustainableBrava tiles are manufactured from recycled materials and are themselves recyclable at end of life.
For HOAs & Community Associations
Brava Roofing for HOA & Community Projects
For homeowner associations and community developments, a roof is more than one house's problem. It sets the look of the whole neighborhood and it shows up on the budget again and again as natural materials wear out. Brava composite roofing is built for exactly this situation, and we handle community-scale projects across the Twin Cities from a single home to an entire association.
Because Brava reproduces the appearance of cedar shake, slate, and Spanish tile in one durable, low-maintenance material, it lets an association keep a cohesive, high-end look across every home while cutting down the repair-and-replace cycle that drives long-term roofing costs. Its lightweight design installs on standard roof structures without costly modifications, which keeps large multi-home projects manageable.
Consistent community appearance. A wide range of color blends and custom colors makes it straightforward to match a neighborhood palette across many homes.
Protects property values. A durable, uniform roofline keeps a community looking well-kept for years, which matters when homes go up for sale and when new residents are deciding to buy in.
Lower long-term maintenance. Composite tiles don't rot, split, or need the ongoing upkeep of wood or natural slate, which is a real advantage when an association is responsible for many roofs at once.
Built for large projects. We're equipped to plan and execute multi-home and full-community roofing work, and can provide product details and specifications to support your board's review and approval process.
If you're on an HOA board or manage a community association in the Twin Cities area and are weighing a shake, slate, or tile roofing standard, we're glad to walk through how a Brava project would work for your community.
Beyond Residential
Brava Commercial Roofing
Brava composite roofing isn't limited to homes. The same shake, slate, and barrel profiles are used on commercial buildings where appearance matters: churches, restaurants, clubhouses, retail centers, and office buildings that want a premium architectural roof without the weight and maintenance burden of natural materials.
For commercial properties, the case for composite is often even stronger than residential. The lightweight tiles avoid costly structural upgrades, the material stands up to Minnesota's hail and storm seasons, and the low maintenance keeps long-term ownership costs down. We handle commercial roofing throughout the Twin Cities, so if you own or manage a property and are considering a shake, slate, or Spanish tile appearance, we can walk through whether Brava is the right fit for the building.
