System Spotlight: Synthetic Cedar Shake in Havenwood | New Braunfels, TX

When Diane and Cliff reached out, they were dealing with a leak in a roof that was only 9 years old. In a premium neighborhood like Havenwood, you expect more than a decade of protection, but standard asphalt shingles often struggle with the Central Texas hail and heat cycles. They were done with "patch-and-pray" repairs—they wanted a permanent solution they didn't have to worry about again.

The Recommendation: F-Wave Revia I suggested the F-Wave Revia Shingle for homeowners who want the high-end aesthetic of hand-split cedar shake but need a system that is virtually "worry-free". In Havenwood (78132), where curb appeal is mandatory, this was the right technical and visual move.

The "Klaus Way" Engineering To ensure this was the last roof they’d ever need, we executed a complete system overhaul:

• Virtually Hail-Proof: F-Wave is a single-piece commercial-grade polymer with a Class 4 impact rating—meaning it doesn't just resist hail; it’s designed to survive it without the granular loss common in asphalt.

• System-Based Sealing: We addressed the 9-year-old failure points by installing premium high-performance secondary water barrier.

• The Foundation: We stripped the roof to the deck to verify the "bones" of the home were sound before installing the new 50-year system.

• The Result Diane and Cliff now have a roof that outclasses everything else on the block. It provides the timeless look of cedar shake with the peace of mind that comes from a synthetic system built for long-term performance, not short-term fixes. (Updated: 02/27/2026)
