F-Wave shingles were designed and developed in Texas where over 500 hail storms a year is the primary reason for roof replacements, Colorado as well. For years there was nothing available in the marketplace that could survive these brutal hail storms and asphalt roofs were being replaced on a regular basis. That is until F-wave invented it!
F-wave shingles are the most innovative roofing shingle to hit the market in years. They are a beautiful mix of key features from asphalt, cedar and slate, but without their unfortunate drawbacks.
What is F-Wave Made of?
F-Wave is a new type of shingle based upon a tried-and-true commercial roofing material, TPO thermoplastic polyolefin. This synthetic rubber is then mixed with steel to bring you a new standard in the roofing industry designed to withstand just about anything! F-Wave has no stones or asphalt granules to lose, which also means this product is incredibly lightweight.

Are F-Wave Shingles Worth It?
Lightweight, tough single-piece construction, resistant to cracking, no asphalt granules, Class A fire rating, Class IV impact rating, 130-mph wind rated and 50-year warranty. For the right homeowners, F-Wave shingles are absolutely worth it!
And because they’re resistant to UV rays and feature a smart self-healing feature, they’ll last longer than traditional shingles.
Cedar Shingle Roof or F-Wave Synthetic Hand Split Shake Roof?
Here in Massachusetts real Cedar roofs have been around for years and are still very prevalent along the coast. Cedar looks beautiful at first, but as it ages and moss and algae covers the roof, that beauty quickly fades. And the price? Cedar has always been expensive, but since Covid the price has literally gone through the roof, if you can get it.
This is where F-Wave literally blows away the competition.
In addition to being designed for durability, longevity, and easy installation, F-Wave shingles are also available in a wide variety of Natural colors in their Hand-Split Shake Collection. Now couldn’t be a better time to ditch real Cedar and move to something more sustainable and longer lasting.
Traditional Slate Roof or F-Wave Synthetic Slate Roof?
Slate roofing tiles are made from metamorphic rock and come in two options: hard slate and soft slate. Hard slate is the strongest type of slate, and more durable than soft slate. While it is durable and long lasting, slate is only an option when you have large roof areas and a structure that can hold the extra weight. Slate weighs anywhere between 800 – 1500 pounds per square (100sf) and is also fragile and difficult to replace and install.
If you have a more modest roof size and a structure not designed for the added weight, synthetic slate roofing is really your best option. At a mere 206 pounds/square (100sf) F-Wave won’t break your homes back or your piggy bank either. F-Wave is durable, easy to install, extremely lightweight with much less maintenance.

I received several quotes for my roof replacement. I chose Beantown Home Improvements because of Derek Straughn’s quick response and follow up. My neighbor had recommended Beantown, and I know how pleased he was with their work.Derek was … More very professional throughout the process. He followed up with the quote and answered all of my questions. He communicated the timeline clearly so I knew what to expect. The crew arrived as scheduled and did a complete and quality replacement in just one day. It was a pleasure to do business with Beantown Home Improvements because they do what they say they are going to do. I feel like I received the highest quality roof replacement at the best price. I highly recommend Beantown Home Improvement for your roof replacement. -
My 20 year old home was experiencing lots of wood rot and issues with poorly installed Hardy Planks. It was a huge project with multiple issues. I had multiple estimates and quotes but went with Beantown because they were the ONLY company … More that broke everything down, compared products and costs, didnt try to upsell and basically provided me with a sense of trust. They arrived ready to go, pulling 12 hour days in intense heat. Any questions throughout the week long project were handled quickly and informatively. Excellent clean up. Highly recommend. I could not be happier. -
My family had a major renovation project (roof & siding) and I was at a loss as to where to begin. As soon as Beantown came to give us an estimate, I was so impressed with their knowledge and presentation that I knew they were the company … More I would feel comfortable working with on this job. Jim was patient with me as I made all my decisions. In sometimes bitter cold weather, their extremely hard-working crew worked quickly yet precisely to complete the job in the time frame given to us. The lines of communication were always open for me and Beantown addressed all my questions and concerns until the project was completed. And the result is that our 46-year-old home, and outbuildings, have been restored to beauty once again. I highly recommend Beantown Home Improvements for all your construction projects. -
From the very first consultation Beantown was great! They took the time to explain the replacement roofing process and kept us updated during install. The install was quick. professional and they cleaned up well at the end. Would … More highly recommend for any remodeling or constructtion needs!
