<p class=MsoNormal>I definitely applaud your posting about white roofs . White
roofs in general are more reflective than dark roofs but surprisingly some
white roofs are not "cool roofs" per Energy Star criteria whereas
some darker colors are. Most shingle companies make "cool roof"
shingles (in several colors) which reflect sun/ absorb less heat / reduce
energy cost in summer , etc. but they do cost more so homeowners may have to
pay the extra cost out of pocket. Other more sustainable alternatives are metal
roofs or shingles made from recycled tires. Unfortunately they do cost
alot more upfront than asphalt and may still be damaged by large hail (not as
easily though). I would ask the roofing company about white roof/ cool roof
options.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I too am trying to decide which way to go since our roof has
been damaged by the recent hail and will require replacement . We would
love to replace the asphalt shingles with all corrugated metal roof as used on
our studio roof (which also got dinged ) but it will add several thousands
extra to replace. We are hoping that the premium credits for a more durable
roof and reduced risk of replacement from another hail storm will make it
a more affordable option.<o:p></o:p></p>

something with all the asphalt shingles.<o:p></o:p></p>
