Jason Merchey Opinion on these Shingles
11 January 2014 | 5 replies
Personally, I do worry about shingle color, because depending on the roof pitch and size relative to the rest of the house, it will have 30% to 60% of the visual impact when you first look at it.I have replaced shingles more than once just because I couldn't make the existing color style work with the rest of the house.They look like a dimensional/architectural shingle from the picture (not a cheap 3 tab still used in our area).

New CabinetsAnything else should cost less than $2000, and even items 3-6 above should be less than $3500.So, learn how to visually inspect the roof and learn how to identify structural issues, and any additional surprises really shouldn't hurt you too much, even if you under-estimated the repairs.Of course, if you ever had any major concerns about structural issues, hire a structural engineer for $300, and if you have any questions about the roof, you can generally get a roof inspection from a roofing contractor for free.
