Why Choose DaVinci Roofing in Chicago
DaVinci composite tile is the best alternative to natural slate, and cedar shake roofing. DaVinci composite roofing products last longer, are far more durable, and much more aesthetically and architecturally pleasing than asphalt shingles, concrete tiles, or slate, shake, and clay tiles. When considering roofing services, choosing a reliable, high-quality roofing solution is critical. DaVinci Roofing is an appealing option for many homeowners and businesses for several key reasons:
Beautifull Appearance
DaVinci products are engineered to look better, longer. Our tiles are modeled from actual slate and hand-split shake for natural, non-repeating beauty that endures in any climate.
Quality
DaVinci tiles are made of pure virgin resins fortified with state-of-the-art UV stabilizers for the greatest degree of color control and consistency. The color you pick is the color you keep.
Performance
Due to DaVinci’s performance features, many insurance companies offer reduced rates and/or deductibles when switching from cedar or slate, especially in high wind-, fire- or hail-prone areas.
Low Maintenance
Unlike traditional slate or wood, DaVinci roofing products require minimal maintenance. They don't rot, fade, or suffer from mold growth, which saves time and money over the lifespan of your roof.
Environmentally Friendly
Made of recycled and recyclable material, we turn plastic destined for the landfill into a beautiful and durable roof that itself is fully recyclable.
Made for Quick and Easy Installation
Single-width Inspire Slate tiles are standardized, thin and lightweight. They arrive at the job site in pre-sorted bundles for smooth handling and installation, and cut easily with an everyday utility knife.
What Our Clients Are Saying
Marlene and Dennis: My wife and I had the pleasure of having our flat roof replaced by Smart Roofing (847-797-0404) and their staff and crew in 2021. My wife and I are not related to anyone at Smart Roofing. This is an objective review. Mike, Smart roof scheduler, suggested the best insulation for the flat roof in order to stop the heat from escaping through the roof and to insulate the room below. Mike took his time to suggest and […]
We had the BEST experience with SMART Roofing. Our new roof was installed a year ago. Mike W. did an outstanding job from scheduling our roof installation, to helping us pick the color of the shingles, coordinating the roofing crew, making sure our neighbors weren’t inconvenienced during the project, being on site regularly, and answering all our questions. Mike W. made this a GREAT experience. Mike W. is so kind, helpful, trustworthy, knowledgeable and was always available to talk to […]
We used Smart Roofing to replace our roof and repair some other damage to the roof structure. They replaced the asphalt roof and plywood decking on the entire house and garage and did a fantastic job. Pete was knowledgeable about the project, understanding our needs, and quick to respond to any questions we had about the process. He also handled communication to our insurance to make sure proper forms were filled out to ensure our coverage and repair was correct. […]
We’ve used Smart Roofing on two instances for a roof replacement and a full siding replacement on our house. For both, the planning and estimate process was very detailed and honest, and the work was done conscientiously. They were transparent about unexpected issues, and I definitely got the impression that their top priority was to get the job done right (rather than just quickly). It’s been 5 years since our roof was installed, and 1 year since the siding, and […]
We highly recommend Smart Roofing! We met Pete as he was replacing roofs on two of our neighbors’ houses. They had storm & hail damage. We asked him to inspect ours and sure enough, we also had damage. Pete worked with the insurance adjusters and we wound up with a new roof completely covered by insurance. From the beginning, Pete was pleasant and professional. He was extremely helpful and patient as he brought shingle samples. Owning a mansard roof made […]
Our experience with Smart Roofing was exceptional from start to finish. We had gotten 4 proposals for the complete tear-off that needed to be done on our roof. Pete represented his company with knowledge, honesty and no ridiculous sales pitch – a huge plus for me. Pete was easy to work with and their price was reasonable. We were also in an insurance ‘time crunch’ for completion, and Pete made sure that the work would be completed in a timely […]

Pete and his Smart Roofing team are truly amazing!! From the time the insurance adjuster did their assessment, all the way through to the completion of the roof and siding project…the Smart Roofing team were true professionals! Not only were Pete and his team reliable, diligent and thorough workers, but they were a significant resource in helping us pick-out different designs and colors. And they even referred us to a great garage company who installed a new door for us. […]
Great company to work with. My fiancée and I used Smart Roofing during our home inspection a couple months ago. The house we purchased has a concrete tile roof and we wanted to be confident there were no pre-existing concerns. Mike from Smart Roofing stopped by in under a day’s notice and completed the inspection. Along the way, he provided valuable insight on the roof and what we should expect as new homeowners with a tile roof. Just this past […]

We had an excellent experience with Smart Roofing. Beforehand and during the work, they were able to answer any questions that we had. Both the roof and gutters look great. The guys who did the work also cleaned up everything. All my patio furniture and pots were neatly put back in place and the rubbish was all disposed of in the dumpster they brought. I most definitely would recommend Smart Roofing.
I’d like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to Stan and his team for the work they have done on my roof. I live in Chicago in a bungalow. The company responded right away to solve my problem and they did an excellent job quickly and efficiently. They use the newest technology and they are professional, efficient and knowledgeable. I would happily recommend them as a trustworthy and sensibly priced roofing company.
Smart Roofing is the BEST. Their honesty saved me thousands of dollars in un-necessary skylight replacements and the custom exterior trim work they did is amazing. An absolute pleasure to work with.
Pete was super easy to work with! All paperwork was delivered on time and as per discussion, he was incredibly responsive to questions, and the work was completed on time for the agreed upon amount. Checked all the right boxes for me

Smart Roofing just finished installing a new roof and gutters on our home in the edgebrook area of Chicago. Pete and his crew were amazing to work with. I started talking with Pete a year before we did the roof and he was always responsive and attentive to our needs and concerns. It was not a straightforward job as we had some issues we needed to address. Pete was nothing but patient while answering all the questions and concerns we […]
I’m incredibly pleased with the new roof I received from Smart Roofing. Mike W. was fantastic to work with and was immediately responsive to all my questions and/or concerns.

I’ll have no issues with a roof for many years to come! I would recommend Smart Roofing to anyone who needs a […]
Our house was re-roofed by Smart Roofing, Inc. Our property is very difficult to work with due to extensive landscaping and mature trees close to the house, requiring material movement and disposal using wheel barrels and a lot of manual labor. We were happy to work with Pete on the quotation during which he was very careful to match the quality level of the entire roofing system to the one we had installed originally. Pete also worked to coordinate everything […]
I wanted to say thank you to you both and to all of your hard-working guys who so skillfully replaced our roof and did the copper work. Wow!
