Synthetic and composite roofing materials represent one of the most significant advances in the roofing industry over the past two decades. These products are engineered to replicate the look of natural slate, cedar shake, or dimensional tile while delivering higher impact ratings, lower weight, lower maintenance requirements, and longer warranties than the natural materials they mimic. At Roof Repair Expert LLC, we install and repair synthetic and composite roofing systems throughout Murfreesboro and the surrounding area.

We install and repair the full range of synthetic and composite roofing products.
Synthetic roofing products are manufactured from polymer compounds, rubber, plastic, or a combination of materials — often incorporating recycled content. They’re molded and textured to precisely replicate the appearance of natural materials, and they’re engineered to meet or exceed the performance ratings of those materials in critical areas: impact resistance, fire rating, wind uplift, and UV stability. For homeowners who want the aesthetic of slate or cedar shake without the maintenance, cost, or structural demands of the natural material, synthetic roofing offers a compelling solution.
Composite shingles are manufactured from a blend of materials including fiberglass, recycled plastics, and asphalt to produce a shingle that is heavier, thicker, and more impact-resistant than standard asphalt. They’re available in a wide range of profiles and colors.
These products replicate the color variation, texture, and profile of natural slate using polymer or rubber compounds. Premium synthetic slates are nearly indistinguishable from the natural product at a distance and carry ratings that rival or exceed natural slate in impact and fire resistance.
Polymer shake products replicate the rugged, hand-split appearance of cedar shake with none of the maintenance requirements. They resist moss and algae, do not absorb moisture, and are not susceptible to insect damage.
Most premium synthetic roofing products carry Class 4 impact ratings — the highest available under UL 2218 testing standards — meaning they withstand significant hail impact without cracking or puncturing. They also typically carry Class A fire ratings. Many homeowners insurance carriers offer discounts for Class 4 roofing installations, which can help offset the higher material cost.
Premium synthetic roofing products carry manufacturer warranties of 50 years or more. In many cases, the actual service life of these products has not yet been observed in field conditions, as the materials are relatively new to the market. Based on current testing and performance data, premium synthetic products are expected to perform comparably to or beyond their warranty terms.
Synthetic slate and polymer shake carry a higher cost than asphalt shingles but are substantially less expensive than the natural materials they replicate. For homeowners weighing natural slate against synthetic slate, the cost difference can be significant — often 50% or more on a per-square basis — making synthetic a compelling value when paired with a 50-year warranty.
Many HOAs that previously restricted synthetic products have updated their guidelines as product quality has improved. Some HOA boards specifically approve DaVinci and similar premium products. We recommend verifying with your HOA before selecting a material.
Very well. Class 4 rated synthetic products are specifically designed to withstand hail impact and are among the best-performing materials available in this category.
