So we're getting a new roof, does anyone rec a particular shingle or tile? [View all] LaydeeBug Mar 2013 OP

We live in Montgomery County, MD and replaced the roof three years ago LiberalEsto Mar 2013 #2

We have a rambler. Half the roof faces southeast LiberalEsto Mar 2013 #11

I prefer a 40 year two layer architectural shingle. X_Digger Mar 2013 #3
