we hoped the front half of the roof had a little more life in it...and then it started leaking, well more like raining, in our porch and also in the attic. the back half of the porch was done by the previous owners- we are not sure why they didn't do the whole roof but perhaps its has to do with the back half being on the south side of the house, and also cutting costs.
because you never see both sides of the roof at the same time we decided we could choose whatever color we wanted. after much debate over the darkness to lightness factor (in terms of reflectivity and preventing the Urban Heat Island Effect) and getting over the fact that metal roofs cost more than double the price of the asphalt shingles that everyone has (i'm still not really over it), we chose a color of Timberline shingles.
...and then we had to choose another color because the one we liked, the one from a large sample that the shingle company gave to our roofer to show us, is only available out of tampa, FL. oy. in the end the final color selection is Fox Hollow Grey.
here's how the day went....
