Since every one of us were getting a new roof, I wanted a different color shingle

My home sits on a small hill in the back of a cul-de-sac; There was a important oak tree on the hill that stood tall and strong for multiple years, however my children and I watch that tree grow from a small seedling to a strong oak tree, then unfortunately, the tree isn’talways in the best condition… It undoubtedly does not get a lot of water or sun in that spot.

The oak tree was hit by lightning a couple of years ago and since then it hasn’t been growing entirely well.

The oak tree came down in a storm last weekend and it toppled onto our home, we didn’t receive a lot of damage from the tree, however the roof was damaged enough that every one of us needed repairs. The insurance business paid for all of the repairs. There were no tiles to match the old tiles that were 20 years old, so the insurance business paid for us to retile the entire roof, since every one of us were getting a new roof and tiles, I wanted to select something different. I looked at all of the brick colors that were available from the roofing business. The roofing business said she could get pretty much any color that I wanted including outrageous colors like yellow, green, or black. I selected a light brown shade that is closer to rust than burgundy. The other tiles on the home were a little bit darker and heavier. The new tiles are lighter in weight and have a slightly different color. I think the new shade is going to make the home look brighter while in that afternoon.
