New roof color options

[Sam Zawatsky]

I’ll be getting a new roof shortly for this property in Tallahassee. What color shingles do you think would look best and offer the best energy efficiency to reduce the heat?

My EPDM roof must have a big section cut out to repair water damage (a leak around ac that only showed up recently, must have leaked for some time). I am looking for suggestions as to what liquid roof product to use to do the entire roof over the existing rubber roof as well as the exposed plywood from the repair. I’m leaning toward a system called roof repair culpepr va but would love to find what others have used with success.

Lighter colors are usually best on a roof to reduce the energy bill. I like light grey personally, as white gets dirty very quickly anyways.
