[MassHistPres] Roof types

[Garrett Laws]

Certainteed also has a Presidential Shake and Presidential Shake TL that
are designed to mimic cedar shakes. They are thicker and heavier than a
typical 3 tab or architectural shingle. Sorry, we don't install asphalt
shingles or work on Nantucket...

By the way, many asphalt shingles are NOT designed to be applied on mansard
roofs as the layer delaminate when hung from very steep pitches. The
Certainteed shingle has special installation instructions for pitches above
21/12.

Many Thanks,
Garrett Laws
