Real cedar asks for attention; polymer shake does not. Molded from actual shakes, quality synthetic lines carry Class 4 hail ratings and strong fire ratings without treatment, and never need the cleaning-and-treatment cycle wood demands in a DFW climate. The trade is character: cedar ages into individuality, polymer stays uniform.
We install and service synthetic cedar shake across Italy and the surrounding DFW communities. You get free written estimates, documented inspections, and honest guidance on whether this system actually fits your home and budget.
The Italy specifics
What Synthetic Cedar Shake costs and returns in Italy depends on the houses it goes onto. Out here lot sizes stretch and rooflines get more individual, and the inventory runs from older farm-town stock to brand-new builds on the same road. For that housing, the composite pitch is simple: the look that suits the street, minus wood’s maintenance ledger, plus a Class 4 rating.
Permit-wise, this work in Italy runs through the city’s building department, and filing it is our job, not yours. When the next core drops through Ellis County, polymer profiles rebound where wood splits and brittle materials crack. That is what the Class 4 rating is for. Because Waxahachie, Ennis, and Midlothian share our dispatch routes, examples of this exact system nearby are easy to arrange. Before you commit to anything, we put the whole thing in writing: findings, grade, price, warranty.
