Imagine saving 43% on your homeowners insurance and getting the roof of your dreams. That’s exactly what happened to Barbara and Jim when they invested in their DaVinci Single-Width Slate roof.

Three years ago the homeowners moved into their 35-year-old house in Pittsburg, Kansas. The asphalt roof had been in place for 15 years. It showed signs of streaking. Clearly the roof was not enhancing the home’s curb appeal.

Then Barbara and Jim remembered a composite slate roof from DaVinci Roofscapes their former neighbors had installed several years previously. They got in touch with Roofing Force out of Olathe, Kansas, and discussed their options. 

They liked the clean design of the DaVinci Single-Width Slate profile. One of the first colors to jump out at them was Rock Ridge. The complex combination of blacks and grays replicate the timeless look of natural black slate quarried in New York and Vermont. 

Part of the Nature Crafted Collection, Rock Ridge is a single-width slate shingle that copies its texture and form from the real thing. In its natural state, black and gray slates contain carbon, graphite, and iron sulfide. These minerals give them a distinctive range of shades, from a cool, deep black to a warm brownish gray. Rock Ridge mingles these shades across shingles for a historic look enhanced by its realistic slate texture.

“The Rock Ridge color goes well with the style and other colors of our home exterior,” says Jim. “It pulls the house together and gives it a type of cohesive curb appeal that the asphalt roof never did before.”

Happy with their roofing selection, the homeowners employed the Roofing Force team to tackle the project. Jim had used them on another project locally and had a good comfort level in their capabilities.

“The installation crew was excellent,” says Jim. “We can’t compliment them enough.”

While the new roof makes them happy, they experienced true joy when it came time to renew their homeowner’s insurance.

Across the U.S.A. double-digit rate hikes are being seen in many states due to the increasing frequency of natural disasters. According to one story on CNBC, premiums in Louisiana are projected to rise as high as 28% over previous years, with other states not far behind.

Still nothing could have prepared the Jim and Barbara for the whopping 43% increase they received when they got their notice of renewal from Auto Owners Insurance. They immediately contacted the insurance company and explained their proactive decision to invest in the resilient Class A fire-rated, Class 4 impact-rated composite roof, hoping it would help reduce the premium.

“After notifying Auto Owners Insurance of our DaVinci purchase, they rolled back the premium price to our original amount from last year,” says Jim. “That’s effectively a 43% SAVINGS on our homeowner’s insurance based solely on the installation of the DaVinci composite roofing.

“Imagine if we had not had the new DaVinci composite roof put on, our insurance would have almost doubled. Now we have all the long-term investment benefits of a composite roof that adds to the value of our home plus has low maintenance, a strong warranty, good aesthetics and to top it all off, really strong insurance savings!”
