Synthetic Slate & Shake
Contact Us
Synthetic Slate & Shake roofs provide an ultra upscale look, increased lifespan and low maintenance, and come in a wide range of colors and styles.
There are a few different Synthetic Slate & Shake options on the market, however, the manufacturer that produces the highest grade, most realistic looking brand, and the only brand that passes the strictest standards and requirements for historical applications is DaVinci Roofscapes Synthetic Slate & Shake Roofs. DaVinci Synthetic Slate does not weigh nearly as much as real slate and therefore does not have weight constraints as real slate so it can be installed on any home.
Summit Construction Group is one of only a few DaVinci Masterpiece Certified Installers in Minnesota. We love the look, style and durability of these shingles so much that even one of the owners has DaVinci Synthetic Shake on his own house.
Some of the other benefits of this product include a Class A fire rating and Class 4 impact resistance—meaning beyond long-term durability, homeowners may also qualify for insurance discounts when this shingle is installed!
What are the DaVinci tiles made of? They are made of a proprietary polymer that is made of the same base components as Kevlar.
Other synthetic / composite roofing products we install are Ecostar, Brava, Cedur, and F-Wave.

Exterior Finish
A strong alternative to vinyl, our Ultrex® pultruded fiberglass exterior finish is applied through a patented process to provide a superior, consistent finish. The American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) awards certifications to materials that pass numerous, rigorous tests. These tests simulate the harsh conditions that a finish will encounter throughout the life of the window or door. Passing these specification tests and achieving AAMA 624 verification gives independent verification that the Ultrex® finish is best in class among fiberglass products.
Built for durability and low-maintenance, our Ultrex® finish is 3x thicker than competitive finishes, with a smooth consistency and strong finish that resists fading, chalking, peeling, and cracking, even in the darkest colors. If a design change calls for a new color down the road, our material can be painted without voiding our warranty. Six colors are available in neutral and dark tones.
Finish samples are approximate and colors on screen can vary. Visit your local dealer to see actual color samples.

What Our Clients Say
Bernie was amazing and handled communication with the insurance company, explained everything clearly, and kept the project moving without any stress on my end. The crew was professional, efficient, and respectful of my property, and the finished roof looks great.
If you’re dealing with storm damage or an insurance claim and don’t want the headache that usually comes with it, Summit Construction is the way to go. Great experience from start to finish.
They are very upfront with their costs, so no surprises. I can't say enough about our great experience with Summit. I would highly recommend this company!
Lori B
The quality of workmanship is outstanding—our roof looks incredible and was completed on time and within the quoted price. What really stood out was their attention to detail and respect for our property. They left the area spotless and treated our home as if it were their own.
If you’re looking for a roofing company that is honest, reliable, and truly takes pride in their work, this is the one. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone and would not hesitate to use them again in the future.
Was a seamless process and very professional. We will be using them for our siding replacement next.
See attached photo for evidence of workmanship where the original wood edging and metal work required repair and then the new tile has been positioned for a perfect fit.
The roofing and gutter crews were prompt, professional and tidy. The work was completed flawlessly. I highly recommend Summit Construction and especially the project manager, Christian Decker.
The crew arrived on time, worked efficiently, and left everything spotless once the job was done. The quality of the roof is exceptional, and Durham took the time to walk me through the materials, process, and warranty so I felt completely confident in my decision.
It is rare to find a company that combines great workmanship with such outstanding customer service. This team truly does. I would 100 percent recommend them to anyone needing roofing work done. You will be in great hands with Durham and his crew.
The installation was quick, and they left our property clean. Even coming back to ensure no nails/screws were left in the yard. The quality of workmanship is outstanding, and our new roof looks amazing!
I highly recommend Summit for any roofing needs. Thank you for a job well done!
They installed a GAF 60 Mil TPO Rhinobond system and took care of everything — permits, tear off, cleanup, you name it. It was clear the crew took pride in their work.
It was one of those projects that went exactly how you hope it will. No surprises, no chasing people down, just quality work from a team that knows what they are doing.
If you are looking for a reliable roofing crew, I would definitely recommend Summit.
I hope we don’t have another project like this for a long time, but if we do, Brett will be my first call!
