- Removal of original cedar roofing
This Wayzata project involved removing the home’s original cedar roof and replacing it with Brava Shake in Aspen, along with installation of custom copper gutters. The result is a more durable, lower-maintenance exterior that keeps the warm, dimensional character of cedar while adding the refined finish of copper. On a home like this near the lake, the roof and gutter system do more than protect the structure. They play a major role in how the entire property looks and feels from multiple angles.
This Wayzata project included removal of the original cedar roof and installation of Brava Shake in Aspen, along with new custom copper gutters. The work extended across the main home and garage so the finished rooflines and gutter details feel coordinated throughout the property. Roofing and gutters were planned together so everything looks like it belongs, with a more cohesive finished appearance across the site.
On homes like this, the goal is to keep the warmth and character of cedar while upgrading to materials that give the whole property a more durable and finished look.
Joe LarsonFor homes of this scale and style, the right roofing and gutter materials do more than protect. They help the whole property feel more cohesive, intentional, and built to last.
A lighter cedar-look synthetic shake color that gives the home the warmth and dimension of wood with lower maintenance and long-term durability.
A deeper, weathered cedar-look shake color for homeowners who want a more aged natural wood appearance in a premium composite roof.
Custom copper gutters add a refined architectural finish while giving the home a durable gutter system designed to age beautifully over time.
On a home like this one in Wayzata, the roof is one of the most visible architectural features on the property. With lake exposure, broad roof planes, and strong sightlines from multiple angles, the materials have to do more than perform well. They have to feel right for the home and help the whole exterior look intentional.
That is one reason Brava Shake in Aspen was such a strong fit for this project. As a synthetic shake roof, it keeps the warm, dimensional cedar-look character that suited the home’s original design while moving to a material built for lower maintenance and stronger long-term durability. Brava’s Class 4 impact rating also makes it a smart option for homeowners who want a premium roof designed with Minnesota hail and storm exposure in mind.
The addition of custom copper gutters strengthens that effect. On a home like this, gutters are not just functional. They are part of the finished exterior. Copper brings a more refined architectural detail to the roofline and helps the roof and drainage system feel designed together rather than treated as separate decisions.
For homeowners in Wayzata and around Lake Minnetonka, this project is a good example of how roofing and gutters can be planned together so everything looks like it belongs.
