What are some alternatives when replacing an old shake roof?
Shake roofs are being phased out in Colorado and in some counties have been banned. Insurance companies will often offer a discount to change to a different type of roofing material. Depending on the pitch of your roof we suggest 30 or 40 year dimensional shingles. If you are considering a higher end roof you might want to look at a Grand Sequoia or Grand Manor shingle or even a lightweight tile. Covenant controls need to be researched if applicable for your area.
