I received a call today from a customer struggling to choose a shingle color for their new roof. With so many styles and colors on the market today, it can certainly be a daunting task to make a color choice! An additional feature to seriously consider in the selection process is the energy efficiency of the shingle. If you are looking for ways to save energy in your home (and take advantage of the energy tax rebate!) be sure to look at colors that have the energy star rating label. In the GAF shingle line this includes the Timberline Natural Shadow Arctic White, all Timberline Cool Series colors, Timberline High Definition White and the Royal Sovereign White shingle. As summer approaches, it may be worth considering the positive impact an energy-star-rated shingle may have on your home. Stay cool!
