Services: Roof replacement, Brava Synthetic Cedar Shake installation, flashing replacement, attic ventilation upgrades
The homeowner was searching for a roof replacement in Gaithersburg, MD that would not only solve aging roof issues but also elevate the overall look of their home. With a highly visible roofline, appearance mattered just as much as performance.

A Steep, Complex Roofline That Required More Than a Standard Shingle
This single-family home, built in 1995, needed a full roof replacement. The existing roof no longer aligned with the homeowner’s expectations for durability or aesthetics.
Key concerns included:
- A steep, complex roof design that required skilled installation
- Desire for a roofing material that would last for decades
- High expectations for curb appeal and architectural consistency
Rather than settling for a standard option, the homeowner wanted a roofing system that would truly enhance the home.
They ultimately chose Presidential Exteriors because of the team’s clear communication, transparent pricing, and ability to provide a straightforward, no-surprises experience.
Upgrading to Brava Synthetic Cedar Shake for Durability and Design
To meet both performance and aesthetic goals, our team installed a complete roofing system using premium materials:
- 35 squares of Brava Synthetic Cedar Shake in “Shake Aged Cedar”
- Full tear-off of the existing roof
- Premium underlayment for added protection
- Starter shingles, hip and ridge shingles for a finished system
- Ridge vent installation to improve attic airflow
- Replacement of flashing at step, apron, and chimney areas
This solution delivers the natural look of cedar shake while offering superior resistance to weather, fire, and long-term wear.
A Clear, Step-by-Step Roofing Process with No Surprises
The project began with a detailed consultation focused on the homeowner’s goals, budget, and timeline. Based on those priorities, we recommended Brava Synthetic Cedar Shake as the best long-term solution.
From there, we guided the project through a structured process:
- Clearly defined scope of work before installation
- Pre-installation walkthrough for final color selection
- Coordinated scheduling and communication throughout
Despite the challenges of the steep pitch and complex layout, our experienced team completed the installation efficiently on April 6, 2026. The project remained on time and on budget, followed by a final walkthrough to confirm every detail.
A Low-Maintenance Roof Built to Last for Decades
The finished result is a significant upgrade in both performance and appearance. The home now benefits from:
- A premium roofing system that mimics real cedar without maintenance
- Improved ventilation and long-term protection
- Enhanced curb appeal that complements the home’s design
With a durable, high-performance roof in place, the homeowner now has lasting peace of mind and a home that stands out in the neighborhood.
