Product specifications and warranty terms are provided by Brava Roof Tile and vary by product. Ask us for full warranty details on the product you choose.
Choose natural cedar if you want the real thing and you’re comfortable with regular care. Florida’s heat, humidity, and rain are hard on wood, so cedar needs routine cleaning and inspections to stay in good shape.
Choose composite if you love the look of shakes but want a roof that resists rot, mold, and insects with much less maintenance.
Not sure? We’ll inspect your roof, show you samples of both, and give you an honest recommendation.
From the first inspection to the final walkthrough, here’s what to expect when Panda Roof and Contractors replaces your shingle roof.
