New Lakeshore Roof & Gutters

Reference # 416104

This lakeshore home was originally built in 1994. The roof was covered with DaVinci multi-width composite slate. BCI worked for months with both the homeowners and DaVinci designers to come up with a perfect custom color for this roof. DaVinci Slate is a complete line of synthetic slate roofing materials that are natural in appearance, incredibly durable, and easy to install.

One of the unique features of the home was the section of roof above the back patio. Traditionally, a section of roof like this would feature horizontal lines and an angular peak, but here, the line where the roof met the side of the house barreled vertically and had a rounded edge, similar to a turret. This made it a fun challenge, to meticulously cut and apply the slate tiles and wrap the rounded edge of the roof with gutters, but the end result speaks for itself.

The overall square footage of the roof and the amount of water it drained during rainfall factored into the size of gutter needed for the house. Six-inch copper K-style gutters were chosen instead of the traditional five-inch K-style. Copper is by far one of the most durable materials out there for such a system and also adds to the design and aesthetic of the home.
