READYSLATE® Roof Replacement
Challenge
After a powerful tornado swept through South Barrington, the Bertoglio family faced a significant challenge. Their 13,000 sq ft home sustained roof damage, and navigating the insurance claim process became a struggle. To complicate matters further, their HOA required an approved slate roofing product, initially denying the replacement proposal.
Solution
Phoenix Exteriors stepped in to advocate for the family, working directly with their insurance provider to secure approval for a full roof replacement. Understanding the HOA’s aesthetic standards, Phoenix recommended ReadySlate from Cupa Pizarras—the American version of a lightweight, natural slate roofing material manufactured by Europe’s largest slate producer.
Results
The finished roof met HOA requirements while restoring the home’s elegant look with a natural slate alternative. The ReadySlate installation preserved the architectural integrity of the neighborhood and offered a durable, weather-resistant solution.
Impact
The project not only protected the Bertoglio home from future weather threats but also reinforced the community’s standards of natural beauty and harmony. By choosing ReadySlate, the homeowners aligned with both HOA aesthetics and modern roofing performance.
