Homeowner Saves 50% on Insurance with DaVinci Shake Roof
Think about your assets. Drive a new car off a dealer’s lot and the value immediately drops by 10% – 15%. That’s bad. However, what if you invested in a new composite shake roof for your house and your homeowner’s insurance dropped by 50%. That would be good. Really good.
That’s exactly what happened to homeowners Gary and Suzy when they had Classic Construction & Consulting install a DaVinci® Multi-Width Shake roof on their home in Minnesota.
“We purchased a home with weathered cedar shakes that were curling and starting to fail,” says Gary. “After a hailstorm, we filed a claim with the insurance company, but it was initially denied.
“That’s when we brought in Classic Construction & Consulting. This type of challenge was right in their wheelhouse. They successfully worked with our insurer to secure a full roof replacement. We couldn’t be more thankful for their expertise and persistence.”
Selecting Synthetic Shake
When it came time to replace the roof, Gary again leaned into the knowledge of his roofing team. They recommended DaVinci composite shake products made of virgin resins, UV and thermal stabilizers and fire retardants.
“The Class A impact and Class 4 fire ratings stood out right away,” says Gary. “We also appreciate the low maintenance, long warranty, and the fact that the DaVinci shake tiles will look just as good decades from now as they do today.”
As the Classic Construction & Consulting team jumped into the project, their focus was on refreshing the property’s look and adding long-term value. Plans included re-roofing both the main house and a lakeside building with the realistic-looking cedar shake synthetic roofing.
“This project embodies what DaVinci does best — blending beauty and performance,” says Jake Daniels, owner of Classic Construction and Consulting out of Stillwater, Minnesota. “The home’s lakeside setting demanded a roof that looked authentic to its natural surroundings, while also delivering durability in a climate known for hail, snow and ice.
“We’ve installed DaVinci products for over a decade, so we know the value in using these sustainable products in our harsh environment. We know that the right product, paired with the right installation, can truly elevate a home.”
5-Star Roofing Project
With the project finished, the homeowners couldn’t be more pleased. “The subtle tones of the Aged Cedar color blend on our DaVinci roof adds definition and warmth that really highlights the architecture of our home,” says Gary. “It feels like the finishing touch that ties everything together and elevates the entire property.”
As for the work completed by Classic Construction and Consulting, the homeowner has only good things to say. “This is a responsive company that acted professionally and really cared about getting every detail right on our home,” says Gary. “Their communication was clear and consistent. They managed every aspect of the work so it stayed on track from beginning to end.”
For the exemplary reroofing work done on this project, Classic Construction & Consulting has been named as a winner of a 2025 DaVinci Masterpiece Contractor Project of the Year Award. The team earned the honor based on the excellence of installation work, outstanding visual impact and ability of the roofing work to transform the look of this home.
Final Gift … 50% Off Insurance
The icing on the cake for the Minnesota homeowners came after the reroofing project was complete. When they reached out to their insurance company they discovered their homeowner’s insurance has now decreased by about 50%.
“For us, when talking about return on investment, the decrease in insurance is the cherry on top,” says Gary. “Primarily though, the important aspects of selecting the DaVinci roof was a combination of its durability, low maintenance and warranty. Appearance mattered too, but knowing that this roof will last for decades without constant upkeep was the biggest deciding factor.”
