Local appeal

Why CeDUR works in the Twin Cities

How CeDUR compares to DaVinci Bellaforté Shake

Both products carry 50-year limited warranties and price similarly in the Twin Cities market. DaVinci offers a more uniform profile and stronger brand recognition for resale value. CeDUR delivers a heavier, more irregular appearance that closely mimics real hand-split cedar—ideal for homeowners prioritizing authentic aesthetics.
