- New construction roof installation
Anchor Roofing & Exteriors installed the roof on this new construction home in Atwater, Minnesota, using Brava Cedar Shake in Weathered.
The home's architecture places the roof at the center of the exterior design, with steep gables, dormers, intersecting roof sections, valleys, chimneys, and curved eave details visible throughout the structure. Brava Shake gives those rooflines the depth and texture of cedar while providing the performance of a Class 4 impact-rated composite roofing system.
Anchor completed the new roof installation across the home's primary structure using Brava Cedar Shake in the Weathered color. The roofing work extended across numerous steep and intersecting roof planes, including gables, dormers, valleys, hips, ridges, chimney areas, and distinctive curved eave sections. The finished installation creates a consistent shake appearance across an unusually detailed architectural roof.
On a home with this much roof detail, the roofing becomes a major part of the architecture. Brava Shake gives you the texture and variation of cedar, which works especially well across gables, dormers, valleys, and other areas where the roof is highly visible.

This new construction home in Atwater, Minnesota has a roof design where the material is an important part of the architecture. Multiple steep gables, dormers, intersecting roof sections, long valleys, chimneys, and curved eave details give the home a roofline that is visible from nearly every angle.
Brava Cedar Shake in Weathered works particularly well with that type of design because the shake profile adds texture and variation across individual roof planes. On a large and highly detailed roof, that dimension helps define the gables and transitions without making the roof appear flat or uniform. The Weathered color also complements the home’s stonework, darker exterior details, and traditional architectural influences.
Brava Cedar Shake is an advanced composite roofing product designed to reproduce the appearance of hand-split cedar. The product carries a UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating, the highest classification under that impact-resistance test. That makes its performance characteristics particularly relevant when homeowners and builders are comparing roofing materials for Minnesota properties where hail exposure can be an important consideration.
The complexity of the architecture also makes installation experience important. This roof includes numerous locations where roof planes meet or terminate, along with dormers, hips, ridges, valleys, chimneys, and curved sections that all need to read as one finished roof.
The elevation drawings for this Atwater home show how prominent the roof design was before construction was complete. Gables at different heights, dormers, curved eaves, chimney locations, and numerous roof transitions were already defined in the plans and needed to carry through accurately into the finished structure.
For builders, that makes the roofing contractor part of executing the architectural intent of the home rather than simply installing a roofing material. Anchor Roofing & Exteriors works with custom home builders, remodelers, and homeowners on new construction roofing projects, reviewing project plans and developing roofing scopes around the specified structure and materials.

Anchor’s new construction roofing process is set up to work with builders who already have project plans. Plans can be reviewed to prepare a detailed roofing estimate, and once the project moves forward, Anchor can coordinate the roofing work as part of the construction schedule.
That experience is particularly relevant on custom homes where the roofing system includes numerous valleys, gables, dormers, penetrations, or specialty materials such as Brava Cedar Shake. Having the roof represented in both the construction plans and finished project photography makes this Atwater home a useful example for builders evaluating Anchor for a future Minnesota new construction project.
