Herons Landing was built around 1990 with cedar shake roofs, and most of those roofs are now at or past the age where cedar splits, cups and leaks. Your association approved composite shake roofs in 2023. Leaders Roofing installs both Brava and DaVinci composite shake and is a certified Brava installer, based in Mount Prospect.
The Herons Landing Homeowners Association maintains an approved list of composite shake roofs, adopted in 2023, so homeowners replacing cedar can choose a composite instead of new cedar.
We install both Brava and DaVinci and will match whichever products your association's list specifies. Your board still reviews each project, and we prepare that submission for you.

Composite shakes from Brava and DaVinci are molded from real split cedar, so the face carries the same texture and shadow lines as the roofs around you. From the street it reads as cedar. Underneath, it does not split, cup, rot or hold moss, and it never needs treating.
Cedar in this climate is a 20 to 30 year roof with treatment every few years. Both Brava and DaVinci carry 50 year limited warranties that transfer to the next owner, and both are Class A fire rated and Class 4 impact rated, the highest hail rating a roof can carry.
Many carriers offer a premium credit for a Class 4 impact rated roof, and a roof that does not need a claim after every hail season is worth more than the credit. Ask your agent; we will give you the product data sheet to send them.
We handle the architectural review submission for Herons Landing, the tear-off of the old cedar, any decking or flashing repair underneath, and the install. One crew, one point of contact, one warranty.
We walk the roof, photograph the cedar, the valleys, the flashing and the decking we can see, and tell you plainly whether it needs replacing now, in a few years, or not yet. No charge, no obligation.

Tear-off, deck inspection and repair, underlayment, ice and water shield at eaves and valleys, new flashing, and the new shake. Most roofs here are a one to two week project depending on size and weather.
Tell us your address and the best way to reach you. We walk the roof, photograph what we find, and tell you honestly whether the cedar needs replacing now or can wait. If it does, you get a written proposal with the association paperwork prepared.

The association adopted an approved composite roof list in 2023. Ask your board for the current list, or we will request it with your submission. We install both Brava Cedar Shake and DaVinci shake and will quote whichever your list names.
You can, and we install cedar too. The honest trade-off is that new cedar in Long Grove is another 20 to 30 year roof with regular treatment, while a composite shake is a one-time replacement with a 50 year transferable warranty. We will quote whichever you want, or both.
It depends on the size and complexity of your roof, so we quote after seeing it. Composite shake is a premium material, and on most homes it lands close to the cost of a new cedar roof once you count the treatment and repairs cedar needs over its life. We put both numbers in writing.
Yes. We prepare the Herons Landing architectural review submission with the product specification, colour sample and installation details your association asks for, and we work with the board or management company on timing.
Curling or cupped shakes, splits you can see from the ground, moss or dark streaking that keeps coming back, shakes missing after wind, and interior stains after heavy rain. A roof walk tells you for certain, and ours is free.
