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

we went with a new standing seam metal roof for our saltbox type home eShirl Mar 2013 #1

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

He also said that since we are surrounded by trees, it wouldn't make that much a difference. LaydeeBug Mar 2013 #5

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

I agree, the pewter would match so many house trim colors, too. n/t X_Digger Mar 2013 #13
