[MassHistPres] Architectural Shingles

[Garrett Laws]

Kristi,

Do you have a picture of the roof? Has anyone talked with the homeowner
regarding the effect of a lighter colored roof on the temperature of the
attic space and living space?

This link is to a color more similar to cedar shakes... (more similar being
key).

Here is another option...

With these shingles I personally feel that color will make a larger
difference than the specific style unless you get really unique.
