For the less visible top portion of the roof the client decided to go with a lower cost alternative the Certainteed Landmark shingle in matching weatherwood colour.  Given the matching colour and that both shingles are a laminated style the difference in the shingle design is difficult to notice even from across the street.  We finished all the metal flashings in a commercial brown colour to match the shingles, including aluminum work on the sides of the windows which were previously brown painted plywoods.  The project also included the installation of all new eavestroughs and downspouts, which we installed in the sable colour.  The new downspouts were smartly placed further back on the sides of the house, which the client agreed is more aesthetically pleasing then the previous position at the front of the house.  This roofing project is a great example of how the selection of a premium designer shingle can really sharpen the look of a home.  Please view the image gallery to see how great this mansard style roof turned out.
