Lakewood's Character Homes Deserve a Lasting Roof

With a common 2% wind/hail deductible and Lakewood's home values, a single claim means a five-figure out-of-pocket expense, often approaching or exceeding the full cost of a cash roof replacement. And that resets every 8–10 years.

A metal or Brava roof is built for long life and low maintenance, and it carries a Class 4 impact rating. The right choice depends on how long you plan to stay in the home.

If you ever need to make a claim, we help you through the process.

Will a Brava or metal roof look right on a Lakewood bungalow?

In Lakewood, the choice usually comes down to a shingle or shake look in stone-coated steel, a clean standing seam line, or a Brava profile. Brava synthetic shake and slate suit Craftsman bungalows and Tudors, Brava Spanish barrel tile suits Spanish revival homes, and stone-coated steel replicates the look of shingle or shake in steel. Homeowners drawn to natural slate, shake, or tile can compare Brava's three profiles with the steel options. Standing seam, stone-coated steel and Brava all carry a Class 4 impact rating, and we bring samples so you can compare them on your own home.
