He HATES them! He did put them on once after trying to talk the guy out of them to no avail! He actually charged more for labor because they're harder to put on even though they look terrible! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-reroofed-your-home#post-627729 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 22:48:50 +0000 spaniellove 627729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JamieLee: OMG yes...we're replacing builder grade three tab shingles and I never realized until today how hideous our roof looks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-reroofed-your-home#post-627713 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 22:38:13 +0000 JamieLee 627713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: my husband is a roofer and he always uses Owens Corning Duration Dimensional shingles. </p> <p><a href="http://roofing.owenscorning.com/homeowner/shingles/" rel="nofollow">http://roofing.owenscorning.com/homeowner/shingles/</a></p> <p>The kind that look like slate are called dimensional. The ones that look more like staggered rectangle tiles are called three tabs and he NEVER puts those on, no matter the brand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-reroofed-your-home#post-627696 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 22:28:46 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 627696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: keep me posted! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-reroofed-your-home#post-627261 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 19:28:52 +0000 spaniellove 627261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: They gave us a list of homes in our area that had certain colors so we're going to go look tomorrow. I think the charcoal could look really good because we have a very structured, traditional thing going on with boxwoods and the lion knocker! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-reroofed-your-home#post-627163 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 17:44:33 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 627163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love it. I like the charcoal best because I think it looks more sophisticated, but that's just me :)</p> <p>I think it's a good option. We got the 50 year one, so hopefully we never have to re-roof. Both our other houses were in need of re-roofing when we sold them. Luckily, the buyers didn't balk because of it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-reroofed-your-home#post-627162 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 17:40:13 +0000 spaniellove 627162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Oh, whew, okay. That is our most likely option - the GAF Timberline</p> <p>So glad to hear someone got it and likes it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-reroofed-your-home#post-627160 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 17:33:57 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 627160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: Not exactly. It's those small cut pieces. They call it a laminated architectural shingle. It's really pretty.</p> <p>Looks something like this: <a href="http://www.reidroofing.com/catpage/compositionshingleroofing.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.reidroofing.com/catpage/compositionshingleroofing.html</a> (second photo down in grey).</p> <p>Or maybe this is a better image: <a href="http://www.nombach.com/images/products/shingles/iko-royalestate.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.nombach.com/images/products/shingles/iko-royalestate.jpg</a></p> <p>Edited to add: I guess some people get it because it is designed to look a little like slate :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-reroofed-your-home#post-627157 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 17:27:25 +0000 spaniellove 627157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Do you know if it was meant to look more like slate? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-reroofed-your-home#post-627149 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 17:14:27 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 627149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are prohibited by the historic district, so our options are somewhat limited... But in the house we just bought there is a 50 year grey composite roof with small cut panels. It looks really nice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-reroofed-your-home#post-627125 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 16:48:34 +0000 yin 627125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We purchased our house knowing that we would have to purchase a new roof. It was pricey but well worth it. We no longer have to worry about possible leaks with our old house. I think we went with a dark gray color, which is similar to what was on there before. It looked the best from all the samples we were shown. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-reroofed-your-home#post-627108 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 16:41:12 +0000 spaniellove 627108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are at the point where we need to redo our roof unfortunately. :( When we bought it, the home inspector commented that the roof was nearing the end of its useful life, and then we recently had a skylight leak. This might not be so frustrating if we hadn't just paid for IVF too! </p> <p>I'm kind of overwhelmed by all the options. I know I want something that looks dark grey but not totally black. How did you choose a new roof? </p>
