Decision 2 - Warranty Length
After you have decided on the shingle and look you are trying to achieve - it's time to check out warranty length. Shingle warranties can range from anywhere from 15 years with some asphalt shingles to over 75+ years with slate - with a corresponding price differential as well. Keep in mind that most shingle warranties are pro-rated and with improper installation can even become invalid. In addition to the manufacturer's warranty - ask us about our "Workmanship Guarantee".
Decision 3 - Colour Selection
Choosing a roof colour is simple - but not always easy. Because your choice of colour is somewhat subjective and individual - there is not really any hard and fast guidelines on colour selection.
Many people find that driving around the neighborhood checking out the different colour combinations of trim, siding and roof colour other neighbors have tried can provide many good ideas. If possible, take a few photos and write down the address of the house or houses that you liked. With this information, we can provide you with a number of shingle samples that you can look at in natural light with the trim and siding colour of your own home.
It is always important to check the shingle samples outside next to your house in direct sunlight. Sample colours can look significantly different indoors under artificial light.
